Eighteenth Finish For 2010

I was bad. A bad, bad, bad stitcher! But I just couldn't resist... I took a little break from Sabrina to stitch this little cutie -

This is Pumpkin Kiss by The Cricket Collection stitched on 32 count Lambswool linen. Now you can see why he just had to be done ;o) One more pumpkin to add to my collection. I even have the perfect backing fabric for when I get ambitious enough to finish him. LOL!

I feel kind of bad because I don't have any fall projects stitched this year. I still have my summer pieces hanging up and nothing to replace them with. I love my snowmen but even I think it's a little too early for them ;o)

I have to apologize to Patti because I won the draw on her Blog and haven't posted a picture of my goodies yet. I finally got myself organized enough. Lookie at what arrived a couple of weeks ago -

Thank you SO much Patti! I've had fun going through ALL of it :o)

  1. No wonder you couldn't resist, cute pumpkin or what!
    Like you my Autumn collection of stitching is sparse and having concentrated so much on Halloween I don't think I'll fit much in now but snowmen I'd have them out all year long if it didn't confuse the kids so much thinking they were due Christmas prezzies a little too often xxx

  8. Cathey,
    When I got to my blog and saw this posted on my blog links I thought it looked like a candy kiss. He is adorable and how could anyone not resist stitching it?

    I only have a few items for autumn. I was just thinking today I wanted to stitch up a few small items. We shall see if that happens.

    Wow what goodies you got the draw from Patti! Enjoy them.

    Was Pumpkin Kiss a freebie from Cricket or in one of the JCS Halloween ornament issue?

  12. Hi Cathey,
    Sabrina is a beautiful piece but I can see how the "kiss" snuck in there...it's adorable!
    Sometimes, I find that I need a diversion from the larger pieces and these little guys are just perfect.
    Who doesn't love a kiss?

    Happy Halloween!!

  17. Nice! I have this one on my to-do-list (among many others), but haven't stitched it yet and now I see the colours you chose, I think I would choose something like that too, or maybe stitch it several times different colours if I have enough time... ahem! lol

    Happy Halloween!!! ;))

  19. I love the little pumpkin kiss! You have every right to take a break from a big project and stitch this cutie! This year I have been so busy with life, I didn't get a chance to stitch any season project..but just tried to focus on getting a little stitching time on my Family Sampler.
    Take care!

  26. Hi Cathey,

    Now that is one cute pumpkin!
    Love his eyes and the neat
    little peak to his pumpkin
    lid, with a bit of leafy
    accent. And he's got the
    greatest toothy grin! I
    can't say that I blame you
    for falling for this fella
    and wanting to stitch him.
    I'm sure Sabrina will
    understand.

    We had a cold Halloween night
    here and as a result not quite
    as many kids as last year came
    knocking at our door. We have
    quite a bit of candy (those
    mini chocolate bars) left over
    and DH is under strict orders
    to take it all to work with
    him tomorrow to share with his
    co-workers. I'm not to be
    trusted around chocolate.

    We did have a bit of snow/ice
    pellets fall during a couple
    of brief blizzards today so
    maybe it really isn't all that
    early for putting out your
    snowmen stuff.

    Wow!! Patti was really
    generous with the draw that
    she had on her blog. Look at
    all the wonderful stuff that
    she sent you. You've been
    very lucky in draws that you
    have entered lately eh?

    Have a great week Cathey!

    Cheers!
