Design: Jolly Jack
Designer: All Through the Night
Fabric: 30 ct. WDW Putty
Floss: Called for WDW
Started: 9/9/11
Finished: 8/16/12
Let's start today with my latest finish. I decided to work on Jack at the guild stitch-in the other night and made some good progress so last night I decided to just finish him up. I also decided not to stitch the words. I have a finish in mind, I just need to percolate on how I want to execute it. So stay tuned!
I've been in a fall stitching mood since the weather finally gave us a break from the scorching heat. I love the floss that was called for on the leaves. It's called Tobacco Road. It has a lot of nice variegation to it and is just perfect for leaves!

Today is also TUSAL day! Remember, TUSAL stands for Totally Useless Stitch-A-Long. So I gathered up my ORTs and here's my ORT report for August. This month's contributors were:
- August Assignment for the EMS SAL aka BAP (DONE!)
- Thank You heart for Summer Exchange (DONE and received!)
- ORTs Container and Bee Hive scissor fob from The Primitives Club (DONE!)
- Rouge Du Rhin "L" (Done...needs to be completed)
- Single pocket from Hillside Samplings' Stitching Chair Necessaire (Done...needs to be completed)
- Glory House by Chessie and Me (in progress)
- I Sigh Not for Beauty by C Street Samplers (yes, still in progress)
Well, that's the round up. It's not a very big list but it sure did creat a respectable pile o'ORTs. I really need a finishing day soon. I've got several things patiently waiting. I've also got a list a mile long of the fall/halloween/thanksgiving/gift stitching I want to do right now. Sigh, if only I could just stay home and stitch all day! Don't we all wish we could do that?! LOL!

Well folks that's all I've got today. Thankfully we made it to another Friday. Can I get a woo hoo from all the stithers? Oh yes, I heard y'all!
I'm off to the Tiara Club's stitch-in tonight. We are in a new location since our peep, Rita entered a new chapter in her life. Hey Rita, I know you are reading this...I miss ya!
Thanks to all for stopping by today for a visit. Welcome to the new followers and a big thanks to all who take the time to comment. I really do enjoy reading them! Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Until next time,

I love your finish -- so pretty! Great TUSAL report too. Such pretty fall colors!
Awww...Jack is so cute, Lisa!! I plan on stitching himself myself this fall and plan on leaving the words off, too!
Enjoy your stitch-in tonight!!
The leaves were the first thing I noticed, they look great. I'm going to have to remember to look for this color next time i'm shopping.
What a cute finish! And you've reminded me that I have this in my stash...I think I will try and get it stitched up for my grandson...he loves pumpkins!
Great stitching!! Congrats on a cute finish! Can't wait to see how you finish it!
I have Jack to start! I bought it last year and have just not gotten started on him. I've seen yours finished...that inspires me to get it started! Well, maybe after a couple of weeks I can start....I have to go back to teaching on Monday! Boo Hoo! I don't want to quit my playing just yet!
don't you just love Jack? i did him last year and put him on a box. denise
Yes, I am watching and reading. Finally settled in Springfield, MO, 20 miles north of my son. Soon I will get back to stitching and hunt up other stitchers.
I love your Jolly Jack finish, and thannks for reminding me I have that chart in my fall stitching folder and I've been meaning to stitch it for the last 2 years! Looking forward to seeing how you plan on finishing it.
Lisa -- LOVE your Jolly Jack finish. Just in time for Fall and cooler weather (YEAH!)
