BOO Y'ALL!

Well, surprise, surprise, surprise. She returns to her STITCHING blog to actually talk about STITCHING. Will wonders never cease?

The borders are now complete on Turning Leaves and it's on to the fun parts of filling in the sections. I think that once I plant myself in the chair and get to it, this will be a lot of fun and will go very quickly:
Stewey reminded me that Trick or Treating Time is just around the corner, and that it might be a good idea to pull something from the ol' stash appropros to all things Halloween. So Into The Night by Shepherd's Bush it 'tis:
(Don't you just love the fact that the sheep is wearing a cape? I mean, come on, if you have to be a sheep, why not accessorize your witch's hat with a jaunty little cape, no?)

I think there's about a day and a half more to go, and then this one will be ready for the framer. If I'm good and don't find too many other things to do today, this one just might be at the top of the pile.

Finally, I will leave you with a pic of Stewey waiting for the fesitivites to begin. He's rather excited about the prospects of examining all of the costumes this year, but I told him that if he so much as THINKS about lifting a leg, there will be h-e-double hockey sticks to pay.
Don't you just love the Fall? Makes me want to send you all bouquets of sharpened pencils....

    Sheeps in capes, you find the best projects ... as for fall, being a southern girl, I like my bloggy friends to have it, so I can live vicariously. Me, I'm not so much about cold weather.

    ooo a Sheepie!! Perfect - I don't know why I didn't find it for this year's Sheepie Project. Sigh. It looks wonderful and I like the whimsical cape. Looking forward to watching you fill in the blanks on Turning Leaves too.
    Next year's theme will be (sorry Stewie) C-A-T-S !! I know I'll find all sorts of appropriately seasonal charts - Thank you for sharing your wonderful stitching with us all

    I am SO glad you have such a strong, brave, watchdog to protect you from all those trick-or-treaters! lol Or perhaps Master Stewey will scare them off with his costume?
