Description
I've had this sitting around since last year and now that my sewing machine is feeling better about itself, I thought I'd try creating the straight stitch to do the whip stitch with like we do on the cross stitched biscornu. It came out PERFECTLY. The center is off slightly because when I initially sewed on the sequins and beads I didn't put that pattern on straight which didn't help with the first initial "finish". For the August IHSW 2013 I ripped it apart and sewed it back together and have to say it really is much, much nicer
The finished piece is 8" x 8" or 20.32 cm
The original sequins and beaded work which I have to say was too much fun
The first finished piece that didn't come out right, sides crooked, bad stitching and all round no right However! Even if it wasn't great, it was still fun to figure out.

This is so beautiful! Don't worry, the extra attention you paid to the pumpkins (THEY"RE SO BEAUTIFUL! The sequins!), the lovely fabric, the green boarder, and the beautiful little pearl, they make up for a little uncenteredness and unstraightness

hahaha of course! I think it is mine too. But probably for the baking and the cinnamon/apple/spice smells. And apple cider.

This is really lovely!!
And this really made me giggle. Three of my deviations came up in the "More Like This" section. I thought that wad of white squiggly yarn looked familiar...

Thank you! I have learned quite a bit from doing it this way so if I ever do it again (I probably will) I'll be able to do it correctly.

That is great. If I can start sleeping better at night, I'll be better off.

watch a comedy before bedtime, OR take a Melatonin, OR let go of whatever is keeping you up....or all three! Sounds like you need a true moment of escape to reboot

Probably. I took a melatonin last night. Helped a little. Got 5 hours.

Shut thy brain off! Never fear, the body will take over at some point and being awake will not be an option
