Weekly update October 24th, 2021

Hi everyone, 

Popping in a little late for my update. Trying to get all outside chores at Mom's and here done before the snow arrives. Mom needed her septic emptied... so that meant digging.. and Dad never told me where it was... Ground is very rocky/ hardpack clay.

 I was going to start something new on Sunday, but...

My first fabric choice was only a small piece and that would be stitching only 1 piece of the pattern 1 over 1 and looking for another piece of fabric later to match for the other 2 pieces. (28ct PTP Cauldon)

2nd fabric choice was just not the right shade of purple.. (Colour & Cotton Nightshade)

Choice 3 was a light orange and I wanted something darker... 

so I took the day off from stitching.

 I switched out the 2 greys... the chart thread conversion is correct but the chart had all the lettering in the lighter grey - I wanted it to look more like the cover photo.

 

No new stash...

Until my next update,
Have a wonderful week!
