a better example...

the photo from yesterday was getting on my nerve

yes I only have one left

for lots of reasons

mostly caused by

MOI!!!

here is a better job on the pattern

it has the right amount of stitches

12

and it measures

2x2"

which is

5cm?

:)

I had the floss out so I added a few stitches to it

and a little loop

if you don't want one don't

you can join them horizontally to make a garland

or stuff them with something smelly and throw it in a drawer

never to be seen again!!!!

the floss was out because  I have seen some embroidered buttons

and I just had to have a go

but... 

I can see now that the bottom of it doesn't show at all well so stitches will be removed and replaced with

darker thread

it isn't a bouquet of flowers

 it's a mushroom

it's OK you may laugh!!!!

and when I find all the crap stuff I have stashed away in the cupboard it's nice coz then I can just use what I have

and I have by the boatload

like the little beads that have sat there for a long time

but I have lived here forever

so the cupboard is full

a little bit of Fall is still hanging around

the sweet mums are still with us

I looked for some Christmas-y flowers in the stores but they dont' have them yet

a few years ago I bought nothing but bright red carnations and made little tight bunches of them

and shoved them in anything they would fit in

I liked it

wasn't as hideous as it sounds

:)

but so far no red

but...(yes another one)

they did have

the taste and smell of the season

so I came home with a bag of ginger cookies

which I will share with all

and a nice cup of tea

but (!)

 this.....

this is mine

I don't share this

it's the only thing I don't

you can have all the rest

but this...

this

you may not

OK

OK
