Howdy Fellow Stitchers! I worked really hard yesterday fully finishing some of the most recent ornaments I finished stitching. I know you are probably tired of seeing these particular ornaments but you haven't seen them fully finished yet...so here they are!

I have more in the works, let's hope and pray I get them done before Thanksgiving so I can give them to their new owners to put on their trees by then! I keep changing my mind about what I'm going to stitch...I need to stop waffling and make a decision! Hahaha!
As for October news...
*Stepping up on my soap box*
As everyone knows, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I usually have a give-away for those who have had their breast exams within the past year. October snuck up on me this year, so I have nothing to share yet for the give-away, but that doesn't mean there won't be one. I'll have to get my thinking cap on and see about doing a little shopping. So here's the deal. As soon as I've made my decision, I'll post it here in my blog. I may even do something a little different this year and perhaps find some silk floss in pink colors...either way it will be stitching related. So get those breast exams and be ready to comment on any post during the month of October and I will announce the winner at the end of October. My cousin went through treatment last year for Breast Cancer, as did I 15 years ago. Until I was diagnosed, there was NO history of Breast Cancer in my family on either side. I was only 49 when I was diagnosed so don't be fooled into thinking it can't happen to you. Early detection saved my life (the cancer had already spread to 3 lymph nodes in my left arm when I was diagnosed) and since I finished treatment I have remained cancer free. It's highly treatable in early stages so PLEASE, do it for those who love and care for you!
*Climbing down from my soap box*
On that note, I'll bid you a fond adieu and wish you smooth stitching, absent of knots, frogs, and wrinkled fabric. Happy Fall Y'all!
