Update for October

It has been such a long time since my last post and apologies for not always leaving a comment on your blog but I have been reading them all. I seem to have lost my blogging Mojo since much has happened in the last couple of months, I walked with my friends in Holland and a lot of work at home was done.
Here are some pictures of what I have been up to stitching wise:


Blackbird Designs Casting your Spell ornaments, they were quick to stitch and all I need now is that box from Hobby Lobby LOL.

A present for my niece who has not got the time to stitch!!  have you made that hanger on it yet Sandra???? (which I forgot, apologies).



BBD Woodland Berries, I used the recommended threads & send this to my dear friend Erica in Belgium for her Birthday last month:)

We’ve had an enormous crop of apples this year which were send off to the juice farm. I believe about 250 bottles were produced which will be sold and the proceeds go to charity, although we might have some too to enjoy:))
Daisy loves apples, she is a regular feature in our garden. See her Boyfriend in the rh top corner, they have now changed their summer coat for winter & I think they are in love since they chase each other a lot!!


I received a stitched present last month from my friend  Paulette in France, (who finds the best old buttons for me!!)  she designed it herself, inside is a lavender pocket. Thank you Paulette, (the smell is also wonderful) .

 
 Birds of a Feather is still in progress, I nearly finished part II.

Well that’s about it for now, thank you all for leaving your encouraging comments on my last post, you are the best!!

Wat leuk nog eens een post van jou. Ja het was inderdaad lang geleden hé.
Wat zal Sandra blij zijn met het geschenkje! De tuin met de appelbomen en de reeën ziet er geweldig aanlokkelijk uit. Echt een plaatje. Ik hoop dat je het goed maakt.
Groetjes en knuffel Liliane

I love all your stitching! So pretty! Nice present from Paulette too! That's really neat about the apples. I do hope you get to have some of the juice for yourselves too. Pretty deer too! We get deer around us as well, but not to the point where we recognize individuals.

It's good to see a post from you! :) All of your stitching is gorgeous as always! I love your BBDs. I need to stitch the Casting A Spell booklet before the Great Pumpkin arrives on the 31st. Your mystery sampler is coming along so nicely as well. Lovely work!

Berit said...

Your photography of the things you have stitched (props, etc) is just lovely!

There is so much eye-candy here to see! But, I do wish the Cast your Spells goodie photos were less blurry!

Beautiful work, and thanks for sharing it here with us. :)
