What's poppin??

Well here is what is poppin at the Speelman house!



I made some green and orange carmel corn for tonight's church harvest party!

What is everyone doing today? I hope whatever you do you have a safe and wonderful time..

So last night was my virtual stitch-in and I finished Happy Jack from the MM board.. I think he is adorable!

Pumpkin head..

I finished this cute little pumpkin yesterday. It is by San Man Originals. Makes you get in the mood for fall and Thanksgiving that is for sure!



Tonight I am hosting a virtual stitch-in if anyone wants to join! Let me know if so, I have a post on facebook with everyone talking about what they are going to work on .. Would love to have you!

Blessed Friday all!

Doodle-de-done!!!

Been a busy week last week with Britt's party. I will share some pictures later.

However I have a finish to share so I wanted to share that!

It is the SMO 10/10/10 doodle. The fabric I dyed myself with coffee/tea. It was a lot of fun. I see myself doing it a LOT more! The smell is fun too :) --



Rainy and VERY windy here WA. Good day to stay inside, stitch and read.

Blessed day all!

This morning has been a blast! I poured coffee and tea all over my fabric!!! I can't wait to stitch on it. Here it is after it's bath:



I think I might try my hand at other stuff, after the madness and mayhem quiets down. Speaking of mayhem, FOUR days till Britt's birthday!!! Here is a sneak peek at some of the goodies!



Punch stuff, dips and chips. They have to go here in the office otherwise our REALLY REALLY huge R-A-T-S will eat it all before the party!



Ahh the good stuff. I wonder what is in those cans???? M and M's for markers for bingo that was customized for Britt!!! Prizes are somewhere in there too heheh...

Blessed day all, off to stitch and relax.

So much to do!
