SAL update and other stitching

Happy Saturday everyone ... we love September around here ... it's football season! woot! and hopefully it means more stitching time for little old me ... I'm going to spend Sunday planning and kitting up a few Christmas presents ... not sure how many I'll actually get done but I'd like to make an attempt. Money wise it's going to be pretty tight this year and I have a few people that actually like stitched gifts ... it's good to have a plan, right?! lol

September 1st Natasha and I started a SAL, BBD's Autumn Song. We're supposed to stitch on Tuesday and share out progress on Wednesday ... well, I missed both Wednesdays ... so here's my progress after two nights of stitching. I love this design, can't wait to get to the leaves and some color ... but this poor bird needs a tail first! lol ... one of my stitching friends on Facebook (Chris) is also stitching AS ... she posted a picture last week on her Facebook page ... I'm not sure if she has a blog or not, guess I'll have to ask!

I finished a freebie from Blue Ribbon Design. I substituted red bird buttons instead of stitching the ones on the design. I think they look really cute. I'm in a couple of Christmas ornament exchanges, wonder who will get this one??

I also finished a quick little Halloween design by The Sunflower Seed ...

Well, the dogs are clean, the enchildas are ready and there's night racing at Richmond! Time for some quality stitching don't ya think? Hope you have a great weekend!

Oh, I wanted to say hi to some new readers to my blog .. thanks for visiting and leaving me comments .. I love seeing new names here *smile*

I hope you find your joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for SAL's with online friends ...
