Unspoken - October

I finished page one :D


Got a tiny bit started on page two, as well.

Linda's Cinderella's Castle


My Holy Mac and Cheese moment.  I decided at the beginning of the month to do an hour's worth of stitching a day on Cinderella's Castle.  That lasted about 4 days and I started getting behind.  Then I was sick for a couple of weeks so I had to stitch 3 or 4 hours some days to catch up.  BUT, I did it.
3,448 stitches.

Sarah's Oct. Update

I got quite a bit done in October. Could have been more if I didn't get carried away stitching my other one, but still not bad.

 On September 30th....

On October 30th...

October Non-Update

Just a super-quick checkin to show you I'm still alive and stitching...just not on Dark Force. We don't seem to have much of a theme for this month as well (apart from Halloween, which we don't really celebrate around here), so I'm not sure what to write about...so I'm hoping you're all well and to see some nice stitchy updates from you instead!

October's Progress

Well, I haven't done too much on this but I know that any progress is good.  I hope I can get more done in November with the weather getting colder and staying inside more. I really want to get more shown on the Emerald City and maybe start another page.

Happy stitching!

The end of October already???!!!!!

Wow this month has zoomed by!  I am happy to say I have spent most of my time stitching on Sparrow.  Next month will be another story as I prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas. On a side note our son and his family return today from Italy after a 10 month stay.  So excited to see them!

I managed to complete another page.  Yes, I put 2016 as the finish date as I know I won't get it all stitched this year unless the house fairy comes to clean, decorate and cook for the holidays.  It helps that the Kansas City Royals had an extra long first game in the World Series this week (14 innings!).  We stayed up to watch it all and I stitched all thru it.  Replays are wonderful!  What I miss while stitching gets played again and sometimes again.  LOL

I finished the words across the piece and also the border to the words.  I plan on filling the empty space with the motifs next.
Happy stitching and Happy Halloween!

Susan's October Stitching

Black, black, and more black.  That has been the story of Shakespearean Fantasy the last month.  I finished almost two full columns and have two and a bit left and I will have a page finish!  It was here at the last check-in:

 and today it is here:
I have joined a challenge on the HAED facebook page to stitch 100 (or more) stitches a week for the next month. I am hoping to actually finish this page.  Once I do, I will start working on some colors as a reward.

October.

This month I stitch almost every night.



I live in Brazil and we don't celebrate Halloween like in Canada or USA for example. But in schools of English has some party with students at school (inside school, never in the street). I LOVE to stitch Halloween patterns. I LOVE Halloween. I LOVE English school. I have had study English when I was younger. But don´t laugh about my English. It is not good how I would like.

I don't have a costume to dressing up for Halloween but I have a Halloween tree with many cross stitch finishes. Can I post my Halloween tree in 1st november?

Happy almost November

Hi Everyone,
Posting is open for this month! I hope to post at the end. I have had a lot of struggles in the past month or two or year. Anyways I was looking for another outlet because my stitching bug up and left again and has not returned at all. So I found this planner group and gotta say now I am hooked!! Still trying to figure out what is going to work best for me but love all the stickers you can get on esty ect. I have lowered my stress by writting and its made me happy.
I hope everyone has a HAPPY HALLOWEEN and maybe if we have little ones dressing up we can post them on the first of November to share? my little guy is going as spiderman

Thanks for looking.  Linda

It's Almost Paradise

Hello again!  Yet another month has gone by I can't believe the end of the year is almost here.  Where has time gone?  I'm excited for fall though.  My last two days have been spent outside enjoying the cooler weather.  I'm living in SoCal now so it won't get very cold but it's still nice not to sweat my booty off lol.

Well last month I was here:

And now I'm here:


Almost another page done.  If I wasn't so busy job hunting I'd have more done.  My deadline for this got way out of control and I'm hoping to have it done for their first anniversary.  Have fun with all of your projects!

Cinderella's Castle by Kate

I've been absent from blogland for awhile; our house has been the infirmary lately. All four of us have been sick at least once in the last six weeks. I managed a few stitches in Cinderella's Castle.
Where I was last month:
Where I am now:
Everyone's progress is looking terrific! 
Happy stitching :-)

Sarah's September Update

I got a little bit done in September.

Last month...

Then I added my new frame....

And now I'm here...... (Too bad the frame covers the stitches at the top. But I know they are still there. LOL.)
Everything below the ruler is new.

Leonore's September (Non) Update

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing fine ^_^ I'm just going to leave this really quick post here, as I'm on a business trip and my internet collection is less than substellar, before the window to post is up.

I didn't work on DF this month again, so I'm only going to use this space to comment on this month's topic, which is Halloween, if I recall correctly :D Now my stance on this holiday is a bit bipolar. You have to know that Halloween isn't natively celebrated around here, but people are slowly catching up - because everthing that comes from the US has to be waaaay cooler than everything else, of course! The thing is, we have our own holiday of St Martin for kids in early November, that involves lanterns and dressing up and fun (I'm going to post a bit more about that on my own blog soon). I personally grew up wit St Martin, and I loved it - but now it's slowly getting replaces by Halloween. So I don't particularyla like that one :(

I do like Halloween decorations and especially stitching, though! There are so many cute patterns with pumpkins and bats and spooky things. In fact, I'm working on a Halloween piece right now - it's the Halloween Spooky Sampler by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery, and tons of fun to work on!
