New Stitches

 Hello there!  It's been a while since I have written.  I went on vacation to Savannah with my sister and Mom, and then had another week off, so I got a lot of stitching done.  Plus, there was Halloween merriment to be had!  


Savannah exceeded my expectations.  We went on a ghost tour, a few cemeteries, a plantation, and we went to a museum of oddities that had weird taxidermy, freakshow stuff, an Anton LaVey room, a room of cult stuff, and there was a little Ed Gein and John Wayne Gacy tour/talk they did.  It was my favorite part.  We ate lots of good food and walked a TON.  We had brunch on a river boat.  I was TIRED when we got home but I had a blast and I'm so glad we got to spend that time together!  

Then I came home and just did a bunch of relaxing and I got a few embroidery and cross stitch pieces done.  And now I don't know what I want to do next.  I'm usually into holiday stitching but I think since it's still summer outside, I don't feel much like the holidays.  I think I will do the Witchy Stitcher Yeti from the Cryptid Stitch-A-Long tonight.  

I finished this cutie on Halloween!  I got the pattern years ago from Andrea Zuill/BadBird.  



The next couple are Sublime Stitching patterns.  The first is a free one I got from her site, and then the second is from the Tara McPherson collab.  


I've been in more of an embroidery mood, but I did manage a couple of cross stitches.  The first is from AlexStitchins on Etsy.  I finished it on Halloween too!


This last one is from Largodargentoshop on Etsy.  There is also a squirrel and a pumpkin one in the set, and I decided to start with the tea set!


Hopefully I'll get more into the holiday spirit and stitch up some ornaments soon, but regardless, I'll post what I do here!
