MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

One done, sort of

 It's taking longer than I thought to cross stitch these postcards, but it's fun to do something different for a change.  This one is all done but the finishing step which I'll wait to do until I have them all stitched...



- For those of you who like to decorate for Halloween (or even fall - wouldn't have to be for Halloween!), perhaps THIS might be fun to make.

- THESE look like fun too!

- There are lots of fall-themed ideas HERE.

- I thought THIS was rather cute.

- There are some really cute patterns HERE.

Today's quote..."A person who can't answer your questions without getting angry or defensive is hiding more than just the answer"

    Those cross stitch postcards will be great. Lucky recipients. Do any go in your Christmas boxes?

    Sherryofcreateology: MA your stitchery for one of your postcards is very beautiful. Another great quote and sone links. I was mistaken about you and RC taking a trip…I apologize. We were supposed to take a trip but hubby cancelled it because of health issues and very hot weather to drive 500 miles each way across mostly deserts.

      No worries! We'd like to take a trip but not in the plans as of this moment. Sounds like it was wise to cancel your trip in such hot conditions, just in case.

      Thank you! It's been awhile since I've done any cross stitching so it was nice to get back to it.

    The cross stitched postcard is beautiful. Good work.
    Link to fruit ornaments is a good one. Making them with fabric will be a neat challenge.

      I don't see why those ornaments couldn't be made with fabric provided it was stiffened with something - iron on interfacing perhaps.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
