My plan was to post at the beginning of the week, but before I knew it what I thought would be a quiet week turned into quite a busy week with dental issues for one of my dogs, a movie visit with a friend, dog-sitting 2 dogs for a friend - yes, I currently have FIVE dogs at home to look after - and various other things. Today I have to do laundry, household chores and some baking as well as look after all the dogs, but I wanted to share my stitching with you before I start with all that boring housework...!
My PS Halloween chart Cats, Bats & Witches is coming along very nicely:)
I just love working on this one and as long as I don't run out of any more threads, I hope I can finish this well in time for Halloween.
I have stitched a little on the PS chart And to All a Good Night...
...but I find it extremely boring to stitch with only blacks and browns, so I don't think I'll get much more progress done before I can send for some more threads (ie reds and greens!) which hopefully can happen next week. Fingers crossed!
I would really like to get these Santas finished before Christmas, but I'm not sure there will be enough time. I have soo many crafty projects on the go right now. Many are Christmas gifts and some are just for me. We'll see how I go...
I'm also stitching this little freebie snowman from Cross Stitch Crazy magazine issue 220.
This snowman is a special project since I'm doing it together with my sister. Once I'm finished with the stitching part, she is going to take over and incorporate it on a beautiful Christmas tag using her scrapbooking techniques. I can't wait to see the result!
Lastly I have made a tiny start on Country Cottage Needleworks 'Cookies for Santa'.
It took me quite some time to stitch the gridlines, since I decided to use sparkling aida and it was difficult to make out the correct holes in the fabric. I hope this project will look OK together with the extra sparkle that the fabrics provide; I just really wanted to have some fun with it and I loved working on the sparkling aida last time I used it! I have a feeling this might be a slow-going project though, since it's just for fun and will therefore be far down on the list of crafty things that I REALLY want to get done before Christmas!
Hope you're all well and having fun with your stitching and other crafty projects!

What a busy week you got, but you still managed a good amount of progress! I may have to start PS "and to all a good night" next month or even November if I don't get to finish my current WIPs by then. Keep us posted. Have a relaxing weekend😊
