It's tomato season! Actually, since I can't eat tomatoes I decided to stitch them instead...........here's some new patterns that I will be making in the future..........these are tomato themed pin keeps................
here's a needle book and scissor fob pattern...........
This is a free pattern from Colorado Cross Stitcher. She has lots more cute free patterns.
I've been busy cleaning and clearing. I did lots of errands this past week; out to the highway for gas, Thrift Store to drop off a car load, took a big container and more of change to the bank and got over $200, did grocery shopping and today I did some yard work. The temps are really nice now and it was 50 this morning...love it! I've been cleaning the crafts room and spent the afternoon yesterday listening to the Bear's football game on the radio and they won! Unfortunately, the Iowa Hawkeyes did not on Saturday. While listening to the games I worked on organizing my embroidery floss. I have decided not to use the cards that you wrap with floss. It's too time consuming and they come off the cards all wrinkled. I'm going to use floss bags that have a place where you can write the number. My hand-dyed flosses are put on rings along with the bags. They're divided into several number ranges. I may decide later to organize by color but I haven't made up my mind yet.
Here are my hand dyed flosses divided by brand.........
I also finally decided on my rotation.........I will be focusing on my Star XS until done......
I'm almost halfway...........
My small will be the 2022 Halloween ornaments and I cut the fabric yesterday. I need to tea dye it yet.
There is my Sabbath stitch on Sundays and Sampler September piece which is almost done. After Sampler September I will be making a Halloween or tomato project. That's it for this week. It was very productive and I hope it was for you also.
Happy Trails!!!

Your temps sound wonderful. I would love to have a 50 degree morning. You have really got a good plan for your xs rotation. The star xs is going to be gorgeous when done.
You sound like you are feeling a lot better! Don't do to much and overdo! We worry about you. I love the stars, so pretty. And the tomatoes! Sorry you can't enjoy some maters.
You have really been busy. I enjoyed seeing/hearing about all of your plans. I can't seem to get much of anything done anymore. I spent over 6 hours today with Mom. We're still hoping to go camping later in the month if we can get things taken care of for her and count on the people giving her her insulin injection. Her arthritis is so bad in her hands she can't push the plunder on the syringe.
Hope you have a great time working on all of your cross-stitch.
Blessings,
Betsy
You’ve had a busy week! Thanks for sharing how you store your floss. I’ve just started some embroidery and I was at a loss as to how to store the thread. I like that floss bag idea! ~Jen@Carolina Tales
Lots of needlework! Hope you have a great week.
I love your tomato stitch patterns. And it's good to hear you sounding strong. :)
It sounds like a lovely week. And very productive! Your star xs looks fab and I love how you have organised your floss.
Fall is definitely in the air in some places. I have the same Keeper of the Pins book. I think I started kitting it up, I really should check! Your Star Quilt piece is looking very nice. You are making great progress, in spite of the fact it is full coverage!
