Bilious Birds Finish!

  This is Grave Fellows by Lindy Stitches.  The brownish birds were supposed to be gray, but it was too gray so I switched to something that I thought looked more autumnal but now that it's done it looks a little baby poopy.   It makes me laugh so I guess I'll keep it! My poor birds!

In more uplifting news, Dinosaurs has more sky:

Aliens are sucking up another human:

There's a branch growing through Autumn Meditation:

And my Zinnias are starting to bloom:

We had a break in at my church and had to cancel Ash Wednesday services so I don't feel like my Lent has gotten off to a proper start.  I haven't even decided what to give up.  But it's supposed to be a wonderful rainy weekend so I'm hoping to get more into the spirit.  Who would ever break into a church? Even if you aren't religious you have to know that's some bad juju. The mind boggles.

Two finishes and a Sweetheart!

 I'll start with the sweetheart - Jo at Serendipitous Stitching is hosting a Valentine's blog hop. We all sent her a picture of finish for Valentine's, and she assigned it to someone else's blog, so now we have to hunt it down and figure out who our secret sweetheart is.  This is the valentine I received, I haven't found who it's from yet:

I'm hunting for the one I sent!  This was a design from Tiny Modernist called "Elements of Love".  I was a science teacher before I became a pastry cook, so I have a lot of science-y designs in my life:

My two finishes:

"Harvest Sampler" (just in time for Thanksgiving, haha)

Just Cross Stitch December 2020

stitched on Oatmeal Aida with threads from a kit (one of those big plastic envelopes glued to a magazine that says you can make 25 cards or something and it has a bunch of threads and ribbons and felt in it)

The colors aren't as charted because the threads weren't any brand, they just looked autumnal and I wanted to use them.

"Fruity Gift Tags" from The World of Cross Stitching, it was from 2022 but it doesn't say the month.  This was a kit that came with the magazine. I'm supposed to cut it up and make little gift tags with it, but I kind of like how they look together; once I'm done stitching I lose interest anyway so they may stay together as one fruitastic team:

I still have my dream of finishing a WIP every 11 days, and this puts me exactly on track right now - 4 finishes in 44 days,  Now I have to find something I think I can finish by the 24th!
