Only Stitching

There wasn’t much accomplished today – a bit of stitching, a bit of watching the As manage to blow their first game of the American League Division playoffs. George and I are trying to decide if they are going to lose three games in a row or will manage to win one game in there before losing the fourth (this is a best of five series).

But anyway – 

progress on the Tiny Modernist Halloween Calendar – where in I stitched the Day 5 little monster, along with the outline of his square and a start on part of the header outline.

Oct 5

My plan is to keep up with the square for each day along with working on the frame and title so that the whole thing is complete by the end of the month. Each of the day squares is 32×32

The other calendar sampler is by Stitchonomy – and same as far as stitching one a day – 18×18 squares so these are a lot quicker. Today’s item is an eyeball.

Day 5 – Eye of Newt

And, as is I didn’t have enough else – managed a few more stitches on Baba Yaga – from the WitchyStitcher

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
