November update

I started out November with Widow Black B&B for a total of 8 days and managed to get a page finished!  I love seeing the cat and the Widow Black in the window.  

I then rotated to Ghosties and Ghoulies by Lizzie Kate.  Worked on it 3 days and managed to finish it on 11/7/18.

Halloween House was next and I worked on it for 4 days.

Previous progress:

I managed to get the left wall, minus a few stitches here and there.  It’s come back around a second time in rotation for another 5 days and currently on scroll frame below.  I just finished the roof.  I’m worked on the door frame and filling in the walls above and beside the door.  

I started Haunted another part of the Tingles series by Lizzie Kate on Sunday of Thanksgiving week.  I allotted 4 days and could have finished it but am leaving it for Year of WIPS next year.  I also gridded the rest of where the charts for October 31st and Just Batty and got started on them before I put it on inactive status until Oct next year.

I really enjoyed working on this series and was my favorite WIP for October and November.

I worked on Something Wicked This Way Comes at lunch most weekdays and brought it with me for Thanksgiving and really made a lot of progress and squeezed out a finish!

Since I finished Something Wicked I still had one day left for November and pulled out Mary Mouse and finished her!

December Plans:

For my plans on December I’ve been trying to determine what WIPS I want to work on.  I’ve already changed it twice but think I’ve settled on them now.

My focus pieces will be Arab Tent, Kings Vegetable Garden, starting Blitzen and the Christmas Village.  I’ve also written in a few days for Angel of Spring and Spring @ Hollyberry Farm.

Work projects will be try and finish 12 Days of Christmas #2, start 12 Days of Christmas #3 and start Advent Animals Duncan Dog and Hattie Hedgehog.

We’ll see how it goes!  

October stitching Wipocalypsis

For October I’m changed up my rotation to only include my Halloween WIPS.  It’s been so fun working on these!  The one above is Something Wicked This Way Comes by Sam Sarah.  It was a mystery stitch along back in 2014.  It’s my travel piece this month.







Next is Widow Black B&B which I ended up frogging all the purple wall.  Looks much better with the correct color!







My new start is the Tingles series from Lizzie Kate.  I started and finished the trick or treaters in the Ghosties & Ghoulies block.  It's stitched on 28 ct Chocolate Wichelt and using the Weeks Dye Works called threads.



I've loved working on this chart and the colors used are so cute!



Here is where I left off for October.



The last Halloween WIP I worked on was Halloween House by Ursula Michael

Something new that I wanted to try was to add a focus piece in October.  Lighthouse Pointe by Dimensions and it's my oldest WIP.



And I have a finish!  I'm so pleased to be finally done with this one and to be able to check it off my list of WIPS :)




I'm so happy with the progress this past month!

For November I'm going to continue to work on my Halloween pieces.   Widow Black's B&B, finish Tingles Ghosties & Ghoulies, & work on Halloween House.  I'll continue working on Sam Sarah's Something Wicked and try to have a finish this month.   I'm planning to start Tingles Haunted as well as get two others started in that series to work on my Year of Wips.

Thanks for dropping by!
