It's been busy here! We had a new fence put in on the east side of our yard so we spent Tuesday spraying it and the west side so now they are all coherent and ready for the weather. I have spent a little more time outdoors getting my daily 10,000 steps. You have have to take advantage of the gorgeous fall weather here in Texas. Fall is a bit like spring in some places after being cooped up in the AC it is so nice to be able to do things outside again. Stitching is coming along on the final Santa! He's all about birds! I really need to mount my fall stitchery before the season ends, so that will be a priority this week. October seems to be moving along too quickly. But there's plenty of time to stitch so hopefully I will get my October SAL charts stitched before the month ends.
Yesterday, we needed a change of pace, so we drove up to Turner Falls in Oklahoma. It's really a beautiful area especially now that the temps are enjoyable.
We don't get the gorgeous fall colors here like the northern states but the area was gorgeous and the weather was perfect!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your project, so pretty. I like the fall color change around here, your Turner Falls is beautiful. Have a great day!
I used to enjoy the vibrant fall colors when we lived in Wisconsin, but that doesn't happen here. But we do have gorgeous sunsets and very mild winters. Not sure one is better than the other, just different!
Deletethe area you show is gorgeous. I think a lot of people in the northern areas do not get all how the hot weather just zaps the energy and that is why we spend so much time in the house in the summer - that humidity and heat is awful
ReplyDeleteYeah it's a bit like their winter! I do miss the gorgeous fall color that we used to enjoy in Wisconsin but I do like that we don't have the extreme temperature changes that they have. Our week is suppose to be cooler so I hope yours is too!
DeleteI love Santa and those views are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThanks I am looking forward to finishing all twelve!
DeleteThe nature you show pictures of looks amazing. Good luck completing Santa Claus! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, isn't nature the best therapy! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your slow stitches
DeleteYour santa is looking great. It looks like a nice place to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely place. I see us renting a cabin there in the future and spending a couple of days!
DeleteLove your Santa, and lovely scenery! It has been so great having our cooler weather in Northern California, and being able to prepare the garden for winter. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteWell, glad to hear its cooling off there. I have been avoiding the news so I hope the fires are coming to an end. I will be so glad when the election is over, although I don't think it will help make things better! Just keeping my head down and stitching thru for now.
DeleteWhat a pretty place you went to - beautiful scenery! Love your latest Santa, too! How many more do you have left to make?
ReplyDeleteI am working on the last one for this year, but I have a feeling I will order a few more that I want to add to the collection, but won't be doing that right away
DeleteWOW fantastic view, beautiful falls, great place for recharge our energy, hope you had a great time there. Santa is turning out great! Happy Slow Sunday Stitching!!
ReplyDeleteYes recharge is a good word for it! Staying home with the threat of covid is no fun and this was a wonderful pick me up!
DeleteYour Santa is coming along beautifully. Fabulous you have been out and about, enjoying your lovely countryside. Fabulous too, you can now enjoy cooler temperatures.
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to get out! Now to get #12 Santa finished!
DeleteSanta is looking wonderful. Love the photos of Turner Falls.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I am really looking forward to finishing all these Santa's in November!
DeleteSanta is looking great. Yes, I love when the weather cools and we can go out from the AC and enjoy fresh air.... hoping for later this week to cool down a bit. I'm curious on what quilt will be coming out for some slow stitches once it cools down a bit.
ReplyDeleteI need to hand quilt my king size hourglass medallion quilt! I am hoping the cooler weather ahead will entice me to hand quilt. It was warm again this weekend and today was in the 90s come on fall!
DeleteAnother wonderful Santa! You seem to stitch these up quite quickly, we love taking in the scenery this time of the year too.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Santa's are fun and I am really enjoying crossstitching right now!
