July update

Not much to show since last month.  Just a few smalls (I don't fell like working on the big projects right now).   I did, however, remember to take a picture of Autumn Log Cabin's progress from June.  It wasn't much but every little bit gets it closer to 'done'.


My haunted house for the Halloween Ornament SAL is from Handblessings.  I changed the look of this one significantly by changing the threads and fabric.

 
And finally, a group of snowmen from Prairie Schooler.  These will be made into ornaments for kids stuck in the hospital over Christmas.  All except the little one.  We were supposed to stitch on 14 ct fabric but I mistakenly grabbed 18 ct instead for the first one.
 


I'm afraid my whole stitching schedule has gone to hell and probably won't get back on track for awhile.  My dad died over a month ago.  My mom died 14 years ago.  I'm sure they're glad to be together again but I miss them both.

    I'm so sorry about your loss. Your stitching is great and it's so nice of you to stitch ornaments for children that will be stuck in the hospital over Christmas.

    Some lovely small projects there!!! I agree sometimes you just don't feel up to a large project or have the focus for it.

    So sorry to hear about your Dad. Take time to take stock and recharge.
    Maybe some smaller projects will help keep your mind occupied.

    Deepest sympathies for your recent loss of your dad. You're very kind to donate to the hospital. I agree with Jo, just take it easy. Stitch when you feel like it. Your wips are lovely too.
