"She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands." ((Proverbs 31:13)

The gorgeous array of autumn leaves have been spectacular this year, but alas, soon they will drift from all of the trees, but we will savor these glorious days a little longer.

Contenting myself to pass the days, while my foot heals a while longer, 'Christmas Garden' has begun to look a bit more alive with color.
This is closer to the true color of the linen.

A closer view of my stitching progress thus far...



Love this flowering tree....

Such interesting golden stars....

To brighten up our days, our son, Kevin, sent us some wonderful photos of our two little grandsons, Emerson & Harrison, on an excursion to pick out their Halloween pumpkins.  Aren't they just adorable?  

Our daughter, Carra and Miss Ella popped over for a visit one afternoon, and Ella decided that  cupcakes were on the menu, to share with Grandma-ma & Grandpa, after lunch.  She had orange frosting all over her face and hands but enjoyed every morsel of that cupcake!  

Miss Meggie has been keeping me good company these past weeks, protecting my Boo-Boo foot....  I call her 'My Nana Dog'... What would we ever do without these sweet little furry creatures to light up our lives?
Well, it is almost time to fix lunch, and then a friend is coming over for afternoon tea.  It will be so nice to have a good friend to share the afternoon with me.

I hope that your week goes well, and I look forward to reading about what is happening in your part of the world too.  Your comments mean so much to me, and I want you to know that I appreciate every one.

Blessings in Stitches & Friendship!

  5. Oooh, your stitching is beautiful! I have that piece in my stash, partially kitted up. I may have to get to it soon!

    Your daughter and grand daughter are very pretty! And those grandsons ARE adorable! Looks like they had fun!

    I don't know what I would do without my puppies! And my mom is the same with her dog and kitty (we all live together - all the animals are white!) I can't imagine life without them.

  16. I think the trees are prettier than ever this fall, Kathy! I was expecting the opposite given the hot, dry summer, but they've really put on a show...

    Your Christmas Garden sampler is looking wonderful--such soft and pretty colors. Love the family photos, too. That is one thing I really miss about not having young children around anymore is the fun they always had on Halloween :)

  21. Our colours are past their prime now and I find it so sad. Everything is starting to look brown once more.
    I hope your foot doesn't pain you too much and that the healing is speedy. Isn't it great that you have stitching to pass the time!
    Speaking of stitching, your Christmas Garden is really looking lovely. Are you using the requested floss? The colours are just so pretty!
