STITCHING WITH IRIS

Wishing all a happy and safe Halloween.  

 bob and I aren't doing anything for Halloween.  We haven't gotten any Trick or Treaters in years.  Even when we got them it was only less then 10 or so.  Our street isn't conducive to kids walking on; no sidewalks and the car traffic is scary.

I have finished the stitching on Cardinal Points except for the words.     I was going to change the wording on it but have decided that I'm not talented enough to do that; so, I will stitch as charted.  I will have to chart my name, City and state along with the year, but I will stitch the verse 1st and then worry about the rest.  I'll post pictures of Cardinal Point and Brittercup Designs Autumn is in the Air when I can get on the desktop as that is where the pictures are stored.

 I'm getting so close.  I just need to stop making the same mistake over and over.  I counted wrong on Sunday night and didn't notice it until Monday night when things didn't line up correctly.  Looked back and noticed I had made the same miscount in this set of leaf and flower that I had made on another set earlier in my stitching.  You'd think I would learn.

I love this.  However, I don't like the saying that is charted for the top blank box.  I have been toying with the idea of just putting "Cardinal Point" there or finding a quote about cardinals that would fit there.  I'm still thinking about it but I need to finish thinking soon.  It looks much more vibrant in person then it does in this picture.  It is getting really hard to take a picture of.  

I am also stitching as my 25/7-piece Brittercup designs Autumn is in the Air.  

Brittercup Designs Autumn is in the air I'm a farther along than this but this is the latest picture I took.

 This is the 2nd time I have stitched this project.  I posted a picture of the first one on Instagram and CJ responded "Me, me".  So I decided to stitch it again and give it to her for Christmas this year.  I just have to fully finish it.  I have an idea.
