October and November stitching

This time when I went to see what I'd worked on since the last post, I definitely didn't have as much to show since my stitching slowed down quite a bit recently. It's actually overall not a bad thing since part of what has been eating into my stitching time is that I've gotten off my lazy butt and made a deliberate effort to get out and walk for exercise a lot more. We're heading into the time for the earliest sunsets here in Texas so I might try to start getting in more walking during my work day because it's getting dark so early now, so I'll get back more stitchy time in the early evenings!

But here's what I did manage to do in October and November:

Yet another Mill Hill kit! This is "Glowing Pumpkin" and I decided to finish it as another magnet instead of an ornament. I bought one more fall-themed MH kit with my most recent 123 Stitch order, but that one has been set aside for next fall.



And I finished the trunk and branches of Temperature Tree! Now it's just ready for 2021's daily high temps! Right now the long-range forecasts are trending warm and dry for us (thanks La NiƱa) so I'm not sure if I'm going to get a chance to use any of those cooler temperature leaf colors. Maybe by the end of the year!
