In spite of best intentions...

it has been another month since my last entry and my stitching time has been pitiful! The past couple of weeks I have been working a lot of overtime to get caught up on some bills. Unfortunately none of the money will go towards stash. My wish list keeps getting longer and longer though!

Autumn is here, my favorite time of the year. It is my time to snuggle into my home until spring. I dream of brewing up wonderful soups and stews in my crockpot and baking lovely cookies and sweet treats as I stitch, stitch, stitch.

I received the watermelon block I secretly coveted from my Yahoo Group, Stitchers Time Out. Wonderful Milly in California stitched it and I love it.

The block I was stitching for the Harvest block exchange, well quite frankly after getting half way done, I hated it! So I began a new block pulling motifs from the monthly freebie series at the French site Passion Broderie. It was the collaborative series from Bea and Isa. I really ran out of time because of the overtime I was working. I intend to finish stitching it anyway, for my own collection.

So divorcing your spouse opens up all kinds of unforseen possibilities. After clearing out all my soon to be ex-husband's dresser drawers, I decided I would use it to store all my needlework fabrics! I want to organize my bookshelf with all my leaflets and magazines. My soon to be ex had "organized" the bookshelves for me! So my old year resolution is to spend more time stitching and just enjoy my life! Happy stitching friend! Sandra in the beautiful suburban jungle
