YOP Week #12 Year 12

Since the temps have cooled the flowers are doing much better!  Evidently they don't like the extreme heat either.  But  unfortunately this coming week we will be back in the 90's.

As for "making all the things" it was a good week.  I have a final finish.........

This is the back..........

I finished my Sampler September piece....it still needs to be "final finished".....

I tea dyed the fabric for the Halloween ornaments and it turned out darker than I thought it would but I'm going with it............here's my start......it's the witch but it's hard to tell at this stage......


Since I finished the sampler I got a new start....one of the tomato pin keeps.....I am using 36 count even weave fabric...the smallest I've ever stitched..........


I worked on my Star XS which is my focus piece.........when I finish that star I will be 1/2 way finished as there are 16 total and it is full coverage...........

I have been crocheting 1 granny square each evening while I watch the news/podcasts....I think there are 22 but I need more I know that.............

I spent a good deal of time organizing my flosses and putting them in floss bags.....I had a package of 100 bags and I had to order more! LOL!  They hang on an old belt hanger I've had for years.  The new bags should be here this week so I can  "carry on".

Speaking of "carrying on". I have watched everything I could about the Queen's passing.  I am so sad for her family and all who mourn her loss.  She was one of the greatest women that ever lived.  She gave her entire life to her people.  She will be greatly missed by me and many others here in the U.S. too. To my U.K. friends, I am so sorry for your loss.  I will be watching the funeral tomorrow.

This week was another healthy/feeling great week and I was able to get much done again.  I continue working on the craft room.  I was able to clean out all my garden containers and move my benches into the garage.  I spread some gravel I had in the front and cleared out the tomato and pepper plants as I can't eat them anyway.  I made more potato soup and I made pudding and also had ketchup on my scrambled eggs!  I'm getting brave with my food choices! LOL!  I keep packing up more books and things for the Thrift Store and we have Junk Day October 3rd where you can throw out anything and they will pick it up....except for electronics and paint.  I have lots to get rid of....yay!

This week my goals for YOP are  to final finish something....I am planning on one per week of final finishes.  I will keep working on Star XS and Halloween ornaments for the grands and the granny squares.  I would like to make another Scrappy Star and a project bag but we will see.  

I hope you had a great week and another one on the horizon!

Happy Trails!!!

I'm glad you're feeling so much better. You've gotten lots done on your projects and around the house too. It's been crazy busy here and no time to write a post or barely even breathe. I know it will get better, but right now, yikes!
Blessings,
Betsy

I am so glad to be catching up with you and all your amazing stitchwork. I love them all. Enjoy the football!! I don't understand american football - the rules are different than canadian, plus we have wayyyyyy fewer teams to keep track of and our season is much shorter. I watched quite a bit of the Queen's funeral yesterday. She was Canada's Queen also, and yesterday schools and government businesses were closed as a day of mourning, and since her passing the flags everywhere have been at half-mast. I got quite weepy seeing close-ups of her son, the King Charles III. He just looked so very very sad losing his mum.

I really love all the autumnal and halloweeny type things you create and I'm glad to see some new ones making an appearance. It was quite an emotional day on here on Monday. We watched 7 hours of the funeral and I cried on and off throughout the day, surprised I was so weepy...especially seeing the family's bottom lips quivering or taking big swallows to hold back their tears and when two of the Queen's corgis were there.

Your Oct 31 pillow is so cute. The granny squares are as well.
