And A Finish!
I made it about a 1/4 inch too tall. I have other tins and am thinking about making another sleeve for a different tea. Just need to find the perfect design.

She Chose Poorly....
I decided to finish the edge of All Will Be Well by Heartstring Samplery by doing a hemstitch.This would have been fine if I wasn't stitching 45 count linen...
I finished one edge:
Now to finish the top edge before the end of the year.

I finished stitching All Will Be Well by Heartstring Samplery:
I know how I plan to fully finish this. I just need to take the time. Anyone have any to spare?

IHSW for November
Well, it was the International Hermit and Stitch Weekend and I didn't get much extra stitching time.
The idea is to take the third weekend of the month and get some extra stitching time.
I planned to work on my painted canvas:
Pour ta Fete:
And All Will be Well:
I only worked on All Will be Well:
And Agean Sunrise by Avlea Designs:

Black November Progress
I am enjoying stitching on this little piece. The fabric is a beautiful color-Honey from BeStitched Me Fabrics. The chart is from Heartstring Samplery-All Will be Well. I doubt I will finish it in November, but it will give me something to work on next year.

A Start for Black Sampler November
I decided to join Jacob of Modern Folk Embroidery in this fun stitch a long. I think he explains it in this Flosstube. But the idea is to stitch on a black sampler during the month of November. It doesn't have to be a sampler or black thread-just something dark. I wanted to start one of my huge projects, like Pandemic by Long Dog Samplers or one from Sampler and Antique Needlework Quarterly, but I refrained.
This is what I plan to start:
It is All Will be Well by Heartstring Samplery. I will be using Honey by BeStitched Me fabrics in 45 count and Onyx from Weeks Dye Works as my thread. I have a plan for fully finishing the piece IF I ever get it done...
