September WIPocalypse

 This Month's stitching was interrupted by our trip to Southern IN.  We spent a few days down there visiting Indiana Caverns, Squire Boone Caverns, O'Bannon Woods State Park, Marengo Caverns, Spring Mill State Park and Blue Spring Caverns.  All of the Caverns were different and we were glad we went. And all of the Caverns had cats.  Very friendly cats. At Blue Spring Caverns while we waited for the tour to start, the cat pulled a mole out of its hole and the Cat then pooped in the hole.

 I did take a project to stitch on - Cowslip - and made good progress.  Stitching this on 14ct coffee tea dyed aida.


Finished  the border and started on the flowers.  This is different than what I usually stitch and I am enjoying it.  I might try making it into a pillow or flat fold.

I did work on Dandelion Fairy Kingdom.  I am almost done with page 4.  I might stitch on this one for the remainder of September in the hopes of finishing page 4.
I did work a few days on Faces of Faery 90

 And I worked on Bless our Harvest.

This month's WIPocalypse question is do I do seasonal stitching.  I work on Christmas ornaments when the mood hits me.  But I usually just stitch on my rotation.  I try to keep a variety of projects in my rotation.

While on vacation we did stay at a motel in Bedford for 2 nights.  To check in I entered the door marked office at the back of the motel and walked thru a narrow dark hallway to the front.  There was something creepy about this that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.  There was soft music playing and it was dark and stuffy.  Before the clerk would check me in she had to show me the room. We stay at alot of motels and this is the first time I had to inspect the room before they would rent it to me. We walked down the drive way and looked at the room.  It was clean so I checked in.  We were kinda in a basement room.  Cement block walls.  My cell phone did not get reception and we could not get internet.  When we left for dinner I looked at the front of the motel and it looked like an old funeral home.  It was located across the street from a very large cemetery.  I think our room was where the caskets were stored or embalming took place.  It was under the main portion of the building and probably was where the hearse could drive in.  Very quiet and sound proof.  We slept like the dead.
