HAED update, halloween stitching
I have 2 update photos to share today.
First up is my HAED update. I stitch on it once a month at least as part of a SAL. This is about 2 1/2 pages. I love how this is turning out.
This is my halloween piece for this year. Well maybe this year and next year. It is highly unlikely I will finish it by halloween. It is 6 cats and a black bat. It has been fun to stitch.
Halloween is my favorite holiday to stich, what is yours?

Wordpress and stash
I have another blog. I'm sure i'm not the only one. It's a non-stitching blog. I recently moved it to wordpress. I love it there. It's different of course as I've been at blogger for years. Today I moved my stitching blog. I'm currently keeping both. Here and at wordpress. At some point I may delete this one and move totally to wordpress.
You can find me here- Patchworkstitches-Wordpress.
I hope you'll visit.
In other news- I have recently acquired some stash.
The first is what my mom bought for me while I was visiting her in oklahoma. I got some more expensive things that I normally wouldn't buy myself, which is perfect. I am so excited to start something. I got oldfield orchard- victoria sampler, Passione Ricamo-Fairyland dreams, Cricket collection-Master and the Macabre (a tribute to edgar allen Poe) and a mill hill bead kit. I am unsure whether I will purchase the oldfield orchard thread pack or do some converting.
The mirabilia are Cottage Garden fairy. Then Penny was nice enough for free to include the other pattern- Deco Spirits.
And finally up some stash that I got for such a great price on a facebook group I just couldn't help myself. Spring snapperland hive- Bent creek, LHN- 6 little cardinals, LHN- garden pleasures, CCN- beach cottage, snappers easter- bent creek.
cute story- While I was in the LHN in Oklahoma with my mom; we were talking to the shop clerk as I checked out. My mom said how she wasn't a stitcher, then asked me if this would give me something to stitch next year. To which I replied that I had enough stash to keep me busy for several years. My mom then in a perplexed manner- why I was buying more. The shop owner said to me, "wow your mom is obviously really not a stitcher if she doesn't understand the art of stash."

HAED update, TUSAL, final framed finish
Long time no post. Sorry about that. You know how life gets in the way.
I have been stitching a fair amount, and have a page finish on my Haed. Dragonflies whisper. It is also my yearly goal. Though it is only August so I hope to get a bit more done before years end. This is the first year I hit my HAED goal. I attribute it to finally finding the combination that works for me. 22ct, 2x1, tent stitch. I just wish I had experimented more earlier on and not let what others used and said about tent stitching influence me.
I also included a photo of what it will look like someday, since this still isn't much to look at.
I can't believe I didn't share this before but apparently I shared it everywhere but here. My final recently framed piece. Would you believe I found the frame at goodwill? It couldn't fit better if I had bought it specifically for this piece. I can't wait til it is spring so I can hang it.
