I finished Simpler Harvest into a standing piece yesterday. I'll give it to my sister next Monday on her birthday. Hopefully this will get her off my back for a while.
I really didn't do a lot of stitching over the weekend - I'm kinda bored with it all right now. I did manage to put some work into Toccata II yesterday. I'm about half way done with this piece. For the train ride this week I started back on Sheepish Designs Alpha series, working on Sheepish Menagerie. I figure I need to get some things in progress finished just in case I quit cross stitching for a while. That would be bad because the last time I stopped stitching for a while it was almost 20 years before I got back to it. No progress photo because all I did was one letter. Tomorrow for sure.
I did my new puppy shopping Saturday. Wow, did I spend the money. But I'm sure little Finn will appreciate it. :-) I stopped in at Joann Fabrics and found the cutest little black tree to hang my Halloween ornaments from. Now I need to stitch some more - the two did last year look a little lonely on the tree.
While I was trying to take photos of my finish yesterday, guess who jumped into the photo - Mr. Clancy. Such a ham!

Your Simple Harvest finish is beautiful, your sister is going to LOVE it! And what a great way to display your Halloween smalls! Clancy is so cute, love those big eyes!
OMG, Mr. Clancy is just too cute! Also cute is your Halloween tree. :)
Simple Harvest is a GREAT finish!!!
Margie, they are all beautiful!! Clancy is such a cutie! I always wanted a pug and then I had three kids. I think I'll wait a bit on the pug now. LOL! :)
Well I just want to pinch Mr. Clancy's cheeks and give him a big 'ol smooch! What a sweetie :)
And let me tell you I LOVE THAT TREE!!!! Where did you find that?! And tell me it was a good price! LOL!
Love your latest Blackbird Designs finish. That thread suits this project perfectly!! Looking forward to seeing your progress on the Sheepish Designs Alpha series again. I enjoyed watching your progress so much that I may have to stitch that one, too!
Love Mr Clancy. I just want to reach out and pet him and get a sloppy kiss from him.
Love your Blackbird finish. Hope you sister likes it. If not, I will take it.
Don't give up stitching, you are too good at it.
Love your finish. I have the book also and hope to stitch this piece one day.
What a face on that little guy! Like the tree too. Now you've given me ideas. (Fortunately, I know that tree will be 80% off in about 3 weeks. I'll be keeping an eye out for it...)
Love your Halloween Tree - I've been looking for one myself. The piece for your sister is beautiful - you can send it to me if she doesn't appropriately appreciate it! LOL!! Maybe you are just needing a little break from your stitching. I definitely need that from time to time.
