Gentle Friends, here's a snap of my start on the second Hallowe'en piece ...
"Halloween Rules": - by Lizzie Kate
40ct "Chocolate Milk" from Fabrics by Stephanie
Using the Recommended Floss
The snap is quite washed out due to the sorry lighting... as you can see it's a very small start and kind of dull... I stitched up the companion piece back in 2010... here's a snap...
"Christmas Rules"
36ct LL Lite Exemplar
Recommended Floss
This piece is framed up but also packed up so this old snap will have to do.

We started off Saturday morning getting vaccinated. I got my booster COVID shot and the 1st of a two-part Monkey Pox Shot. I had already gotten my Flu shot a week ago at my check-up with my Doctor. Rico on the other hand got all three. We go back on November 4th for the 2nd part of the monkeypox vaccine. Since it was my birthday last week, Saturday evening we celebrated by going to dinner at Moss Beach Distillery south of SF. As usual, the views were incredible...
Stopping first in Pacifica to do some antique shopping...
I found a great paperweight to add to my collection...
John Barber a glass artist from Laguna Beach - signed and dated 1981
...we also walked on the promenade that runs against the ocean and were lucky enough to see a large pod of whales swimming along and feeding as they were migrating south for the winter.

ReplyDeletepiece...great sentiments. Looking forward to your 2023 edition.
Thank you so much!!
DeleteDearest Edgar: Nice start on your Halloween design, love the Christmas Rules.
ReplyDeleteThe paper weight is beautiful, it is always fun to go out to dinner and have a walk, seeing whales would be a treasure for me.

Thanks, Catherine!! In all the years I';ve lived out here, and all the time I've spent looking out to sea... even trying to find and see whales this is the first time ever... it was a really wonderful day!!
DeleteHappiest of belated birthday wishes, Edgar. I've seen the Halloween Rules design - it's sweet but would be an ambitious undertaking for me to complete before Halloween. I'm sure, though, your swift fingers will make short work of it. Magnificent view of the ocean...and, oh...to see the whales!!! ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robin!! I'm aiming for "around" Hallowe'en to be honest... the next project up is a Christmas Sampler, and it is a bit early. :)
DeleteHappy belated birthday wishes, Edgar! What a beautiful paperweight you added to your collection. Good start on the Lizzie Kate Halloween piece.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Robin!!
DeleteMissed your birthday! Sounds like it was a good celebration. WIshing you many more with health and happiness.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday. That restaurant looks like it has great views. I like your start on Halloween Rules. That is a great chart. I'm trying to finish a stocking by Christmas and you are stitching Halloween. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI came here looking for the shots of the boozy kind! Still, beautiful shots! How lucky to see whales, they're my favorite animal. I would probably cry if I were to see some in real life in the ocean. Love everything you stitch Edgar😍
ReplyDeleteBelated birthday wishes to you Edgar. You always find the most unique things, love the paperweight
