A finish for me



Today was a lazy, rainy day, so I took the opportunity to make a pinkeep from a design I stitched several years ago. I love this design and have no idea why I never completed a finish for it. It's one from Cindy at The Stitchworks. There's a pumpkin button somewhere in my stash room. I've run across it at times I've been searching for something else. I have no doubt it will turn up at some point.

The trip to Fayetteville was a full day. I was pooped when I got home. There's a little 88 year old lady that goes on the trips and is a full burst of energy. We never know what she's going to show up as. Last trip she was an Oklahoma State supporter. This trip she was all decked out in her Halloween gear. She's a real cutie, so thought I'd share her photo. Her hat is a pumpkin in case you can't make it out. I let her know I was going to post it. She was ok with it. Our first stop was across the street from the Farmer's Market, so we all hopped over there. The produce was beautiful, and reasonably priced. The flowers were just beautiful. More about the trip in a later post.

I mailed my SBEBB Pumpkin Patch exchange this morning. Hope my partner enjoys it. It's not very original, however I have wanted to stitch it, so took the opportunity. Will post photos when my partner receives. It has a ways to go, so it'll be a couple of weeks.

Have a restful evening.

What a cute finish, and how perfect for the season. Your earlier finish of Trick or Treat was wonderful too. I think your bow looked great on it, she's going to love getting it.
