~ Whatcha Working On Wednesday ~

I have decided to join in today with Leslie for "Whatcha Working On Wednesday".

I started a couple of new projects yesterday while we drove down to Fredericton to get hubby's Passport. It's a two hour drive there and then another two back. I can't sit and do nothing, it's awful! Anyways lucky guy, he is leaving for Atlanta, Georgia, October 16 for the Egg Fest (his barb-que thing) all expenses paid. So I don't blame him for not passing up the opportunity.

The two projects that I started are themed with Halloween of course :)

The first pattern I got from the October 2008 Issue of Create&Decorate. This magazine has some really wonderful patterns for just about anything and anybody. I have found some really nice penny rug patterns in this issue and older ones that I want to attempt. But this pattern is of the stacking pumpkins and it is suppose to have Friends on it but I am going to just leave as is without the writing. I think it looks great without the words. I have the stitching of the pumpkins all done which you can't see but now I need to do the faces. I am finding it to be a little annoying because the faces are so small. How can you cut so tiny??? I decided not to do that part in the car with all the bumps and winds because I knew I would loose patience. Once I have it all sewn I want to grunge up the felt just a bit to resemble a bit like the picture. It is very difficult to find felt around here so I had to make do with what I had. My pumpkins are a tad bit brighter then the pattern. But I am liking it already :)
My next project was a pattern that was shared with me by Linda from "Behind the Red Door". I want to thank Linda again for sharing this pattern. I LOVE it!!! I have all my pieces cut out and now have one pumpkin sewn on. All ready to hit the other one today. Again, talk about a hard time trying to find Orange Felt for the size I needed. I even went to Fabricville which has all kinds of everything that your looking for and of course they didn't have it but I found something else instead. It looks like felt but feels a tad bit softer. It's working just fine for my project. I am so excited to get it finished.
My little one still has the cough but is feeling much better. She didn't like the idea of missing school. She is really enjoying this school thing. But boy oh boy when she gets home at 2:30 she is burnt. Doens't take long before she is sound asleep at bed time. And I think Tabitha has fallen into the routine of being a grade 6 student quite quickly. It's hard to believe I have a child old enough to be in grade 6. My dad keeps telling me wait before you know it she will be graduated. I don't want the time to come because I want to enjoy as they are now.

Well I am to read a couple more blogs and then off to visit my friend who had her baby boy last week. Can't wait to see the little guy...I was told he is cute as a button. I sure miss that stage. I will try to sneak a couple pics of his bedroom. Everyone keeps telling me it's all decorated to my style. So I guess I will see :)

Have a great Wednesday Everyone :)
