Autumn Chit Chat

This is the piece that I had framed by Jill Rensel, she's the person who does all the Shepherd Bush's pieces. I am thrilled with it!

I posted some goals last month, I didn't accomplish quite as much as I had hoped:

1. Complete one block of VoHRH. I'd actually like to finish it by the end of the year, but realistically one block is probably all I can get done this month :-). -- Not, did get the outline done!
2. Finish HIHN Harvest Home Sampler --I did finish this one :-).
3. Finish Trilogy Secret Pumpkin Patch --Finished this one too.
4. Finish Indigo Rose Scissor Fob --Decided as cute as the Essie Friends were, I just wasn't that interested so I sold them!
5. Finish CHS Stitcher's Prayer, I am about halfway done. --Got a few stitches done but not finished yet.
6. Finish BBD Summer House Loose Feather, I am also about halfway done with this one. --not a stitch!
7. Start CHS Green Tree Sampler --nothing!

I think instead of setting goals month by month I am going to decide what I want to accomplish the rest of the year.

1. Finish 3 Christmas Ornaments for exchanges!
2. Finish CHS Stitcher's Prayer, I am still a little over halfway done.
3. Finish the Shepherd's Bush Retreat piece, Happy Hauntings! BTW, the retreat was really wonderful :-).
4. Finish a Christmas gift for my Mom.
5. Finish at least 3 more blocks on CHS VoHRH.
6. Finish EEF Whimsical Hearts over one, I am going to finish it as a scissor fob.
7. Finish With My Needle freebie Eliza's Pyn Pillow, it's going to be a scissor fob too.
8. Finish EEF Alphabet Basket, it's been a UFO for quite a while.

If I by some small miracle I finish all of these, I'd love to finish my Snapperland pieces and Shepherd's Bush Autumn Blessings.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful fall season, This is my favorite time of year, the leaves changing, the coolness in the air, and anticipating the holidays. I happen to love baking cookies, decorating and spending time with my family. This year we are going home for Christmas, my DH is in the Air Force so we don't live close to any of our extended family, and going to Illinois for Christmas and New Year's is really exciting for us.
