Knitting and Stitching Things!
There's so much sewing happening here, I just don't have enough pictures to show you all of it! I need a live in photographer, or maybe just a remote shutter control. The latter is probably cheaper to maintain.
In the meantime, here's some progress on my mermaid. See that little bit of red across her face? Yep, that's it. But I did manage to get the rest of the colors I was missing for this, so I can just sit down and finish her now.
And while I was shopping for the last of my colors, I decided to just buy another thread organizer and more plastic cards to wind the thread. I have one of these somewhere absolutely stuffed with thread, but cannot find it. It's extra large, so will take a bit longer to fill, but I still have a bunch of floss tucked away in baggies and drawers just waiting to be wound.
And I finally started on some holiday crafting. Half of our extended family celebrates Christmas on Thanksgiving, so it tends to sneak up on me. Hopefully this year I won't be binding and burying threads on the drive down to Connecticut.
What are your holiday crafting plans? I usually make a big list then realize I should have started months earlier!
And you have one more day to head over to Quilty Habit to vote for your favorite Orange Peel Quilt-a-Long quilt. I'm partial to mine, but there's a lot of great choices!

My Little Cross Stitch Mermaid
There was a lot of sewing this summer, but I did a lot of non-sewing crafts too. I got back out my cross stitch and found this awesome pattern online. I'm not sure who made it, and the website's all in Italian, but I'm really glad they did. I started with Ariel, but they have all the Disney princesses done pin-up style. (I've got them all pinned on my Pinterest board if you want to start your own).
Of course, stitching means that there's little embroidery floss tumbleweeds popping up.
Linking up with Blossom Heart Quilts for Sew Cute Tuesday!
