Sane and Crazy Stitching

Thought I'd share my current stitching projects:

First, I started on this beautiful Cornucopia by Kooler Designs Studio awhile back:

I had to hoped to complete it by Thanksgiving but I'm not sure that will happen.  I'm still in slow motion on some things.  Still winding down from everything and I get tired sooner than normal.  I just had to run on adrenaline for so long, taking care of mom and dad and the house, it's going to take awhile to settle down guess.

I started on this little Crazy Quilt block yesterday:

 

The little cross stitch owl is a freebie from Shannon Christine Designs.  She has some really pretty patterns.

I'd like to get back to some of  the vintage iron-embroidery patterns too.  I have a huge collection of those charming little patterns, including mom's now.  I want to get back to using them.

But, one thing at a time! 

I'm thinking come Spring, I might adopt another little Russian Blue cat.  I miss my Bleubird so much, I still can't believe I lost him at only 11 years sold.  The Russian Blue cats have amazing personalities and characteristics. 

If I do adopt another little one, I will name him Sherman after the Sherman family line on my mom's side.  I spent so much time on that line of the family and I'm still working on it!  They moved around back in the 1800's more than we do now!  Anyway, I thought Sherman would be a cool name.
