October Ort Report

Wow! Are we really 12 days into October?  This month is flying by so quickly I feel like my head is spinning.

I've been getting some hand embroidery stitching in when I can, made some progress on a few projects thanks in part to my participation in the 2015 TUSAL, not sure what that is well click on the link and see for yourself http://itsdaffycat.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-totally-useless-stitch-long-2015.html

Here are my Orts for the October 2015 New Moon, you will see some browns, red and greens among

the black threads. I finished the second block to the Hocuspocusville Quilt, I'll be starting the third

Block 2 Hester's U-Pick

block shortly I needed a break from all the black thread and those tiny letters which seen to go on forever.
I did get in some stitching on my Holly King piece, the pine cones look a bit wonky right now but once the holly and mistletoe leaves are stitched they should look fine.

I noticed when I'm working on an embroidery piece some days I get into such a state of calm and quiet my needle seems to flow through the fabric without me even noticing I've made so many stitches until I come to the end of the thread.

My ort jar is filling up nicely with only two more ort reports for the year I hope to achieve a full jar this year.

My busy season is coming up and if its anything like last year for most of November and December I won't get in much, if any stitching progress made.
