November already

Wasn't it just September?  October went by so fast I didn't even notice it. 

Haven't had a lot of time to stitch in the last couple of weeks.  I've been busy playing, teaching, fawning over and loving our new baby.  Lulu's growing so fast it's as if every morning she's changed, or grown or has become smarter and prettier.  LOL  Yep....I'm a mom!  We are sooo lucky with her.  She's a good pup.

Got some stitching done on Sunday though, worked on Molly.  I skipped last weekend, so I had a bit of time this weekend, I love working on her and it's hard to put her away for the week.  But that's ok, it gives me something to look forward to when Sunday comes along.  Can I just say that I love the face of this cat! 

I also finished stitching an ornament. I LOVE this.  It's from the JCS ornie preview issue, it's called Cool Christmas and it's by Fresh Threads Studio.  There's another one that I want to work on from the ornie issue by the same designer.  I have it all kitted up I just have to get to it.  Although I am doing a Canadian ornie exchange that I have to work on and get done this week as well.  So we'll see how much I get done on that before I do another project for my selfish self.

The weather here has been amazing!  It doesn't feel like November at all.  Not good for my hunting members of the family, they like at least a trace of snow to do some tracking while they are hunting, but it's not going to happen anytime this week at least.  So we'll see.  Hubby will be going away for a week this month sometime, he normally does it at the beginning of the month, but with the weather he's thinking that he might wait until the end of the month.  Either way works for me....give me plenty of stitching time.

Wow! Lulu is getting so big, Barbi--I'm glad you're enjoying your newest family member...

Love seeing your progress on Molly and your ornament finish is such fun--reminds me of those blue Christmas trees they had back in the fifties. Enjoy your extra stitching time this month :)

I just adore Lulu's sweet fox face. She will be all grown up before you know it. The cat face on Molly looks exactly like my Border Collie's stare...

I really like your ornament stitch. I am drawn to those unusual-colored ones!

I loved your two stitches butI am wondering where you got them from. I see you say JCS Ornie Magazine but I don't think I have seen this magazine. Can you tell me more please. I would love to do both of these designs. Thank you so much!
