Christmas Fruit Basket and Collage Football and Movie

Since finishing Jane, I decided to dig out a few older wips to finish before starting something new.  Here's Christmas Fruit Basket by Threadwork Primitives.  I haven't decided on a finish finish.  I think it would look great framed or I can "see" it finished as a pillow with ball fringe.  (Too bad I'm finishing impaired.)

I'm not sure what I'll pick up next.  I should probably work on Christmas ornaments but I'd also like to start a new sampler.  We'll see!

It was a sad day for college football in this household with both University of Texas and A+M going down in defeat.  I thought that at least I could count on my Buckeyes to win but, alas!..they lost too.  I guess there's always next week.

We went to see the movie The Accountant yesterday.  Yes, there's a lot of violence but there's also another underlying story (aside from the main plot) that made it interesting.  I was able to figure out a couple of surprises at the end which always makes me feel smug.

I go in just a bit for my root canal.  I'll be glad to get it behind me.

Happy stitching!

Post Labor Day Update

As you can see, I'm challenged by titling this post, so there you have it.  lol!

I hope you all enjoyed your long Labor Day weekend.  DH and I expected a quiet one.  We got a few things done around the house and watched a couple of movies.  On Sunday afternoon, we drove to Houston and "hung out" in Rice Village where we had lunch and browsed in a bookstore then went to Central Market and bought some "foodie" goodies.  When we arrived back home, we received an invitation to join some friends for a Labor Day pot luck (it's still way too hot to want to have a picnic!) so yesterday I made a big batch of potato salad and some Texas sheet cake for my contribution.  It was fun getting together with everyone.

We got up early yesterday to take a walk and saw a coral snake on the track.  It's only the second coral snake I've seen in the wild and both of them were on that walking track...even close to the same place on the track.  He didn't seem to be too bothered by our presence;  we didn't hang around very long to give him a chance to change his mind.

I finished and mailed off the model and finished and mailed off the donation quilt square so now I can get back to stitching my own stuff.  Here's the quilt square (HIH Wee Vegetables):

I picked up an old wip/ufo of Hinzeit's Sweet Land of Liberty to work on.  I'll also work on LHN's My Dwelling Place.
