Just a quick post

to show my Halloween Eve cross stitch piece all framed and ready for next month.  If you look closely you can see the sparkle in the threads of the Aida cloth.



Also, now that the temps have come down a little at night our pumpkins are reinventing themselves.



I did 12 qts. of tomatoes yesterday and sent the peaches, cucumbers, and grapes with my youngest daughter.  Fall is a mixed blessing. . . so many good things to eat. . . so much work to preserve it.

That is a great Halloween cross-stitch, Robin!
My garden was tiny and poorly cared for this year--no pumpkins. Do you can pumpkin?

Your autumn cross-stitch is amazing, Robin. I love the crow! I am always impressed with people who can make beautiful thread-paintings.

Your Halloween stitch is wonderful. It's great in the fall when we can harvest fruits and vegetables. I have not so much in my garden, but are lucky to receive a lot of apples from friends garden.

Love, love the cross stitch Halloween picture. Cross stitch seems to have taken a resurgence lately. Right now, I can't see well enough to do it. I am planning on having cataract surgery year end and hope that improves my eyesight well enough that I might be able to do it easier.

Two Weeks under the tree was his record.

 Well, it didn't exactly turn out like I could see in my minds eye. . .  And it had a few make-overs as well a drastic designer revision...
