Slowly trying to get back to some sort of routine.  I just did a new Colorful Cat for Christmas and redesigned my leaflet cover.  What do ya'll think?  This will be available soon.  Watch my Kitty And Me Etsy shop.

Wild Turkeys

I don't have any stitching to share at the moment, but I thought you would enjoy my little visitors.  These are wild turkeys:

 I counted 17 of them in the yard:

 

They take their little stroll thru the neighborhood around 8:00 am and then sometimes another one around 4:00 in the afternoon.

They eat the bird seed that falls to ground from my feeders. 

Cross Stitch Pumpkin Block Finished

I woke up quite early this morning and decided to stitch on the pumpkin block:

It's a cloudy, rainy day here so the photo isn't great.  It's brighter than it looks here but it's done.  I'll start on this one next:

The cross stitch owl looks a little washed out due to the dreariness of the day today.  The design is by Shannon Christine Designs.  This is a little freebie on her website.  She has tons of pretty patterns so do hop over and take a look at her work.

 

 

Cross Stitch And Crazy Quilting

I had a bunch of little cross stitch pieces that I did over the years.  They were the perfect size for 6 inch crazy quilt blocks:

 

So I spent Saturday sewing them up.  I started stitching on one over the weekend.  Had to do the pumpkin first since it's October:

I don't remember who the designer is because I stitched this a few years ago.  I like to give credit where credit is due but I just don't remember.  It might be a Lizzie Kate design. 

This is the block before I started stitching on it:

I don't stress out over doing curved pieces.  I just top stitch them and then sew trim over them.  This afternoon, I'll started adding my beloved beads and sequins to this block.

If anyone is interested, all back issues of Crazy Quilt Quarterly Magazine are still available in my Etsy shop. 

On Sunday, I ran over to the local farm market to get some pumpkins.  They have a little petting zoo every year in the Fall.  I fell in love with this little guy:

I could have spent all afternoon just playing with him.  He was so sweet and really seemed to enjoy the fact that I'm a sucker for animals!
