In our home my grandson Jacob's 'dad' didn't want to be involved so rather than no dad Matt (my son) stepped up and did stuff with Jacob. He can't do a lot because of his disability but likes to take him places like the movies and other fun spots. He has also shown him how to be a respectful young man. So in the place of Father's Day our family's tradition is to celebrate Uncle's Day to honor him for his role in Jacob's life. We have passed our holiday idea on to other families who now also celebrate Uncle's Day!
Now for the stitching...
As I mentioned in my last post my floss order came in! Yay I couldn't wait to finish up that moon.
Horrific Halloween

Mini Finish 06/15/20
and then what do you know...
I FINISHED all the stitching on the Halloween Banner!! It felt so satisfying putting in the last stitch.
Here it is with all the stitching finished. It still needs to meet an iron, have the buttons attached and to be FFO'd but for now I am HAPPY.

First Stitch 01/07/19
Finished 06/15/20
As you can see it took a bit of time because the frog seemed to visit this piece a lot but I love it.
After that I picked up another piece to stitch for the rest of the week; Dog Lessons for People. I worked on it and worked on it trying to finish it up this week but it didn't happen. I do think it will be finished in the next day or two though.
Oh and here is a freebie I saw on Facebook for those of you who like Samplers...
it is appropriately named Pandemic and it is from Long Dog Samplers. It is only available for free until 08.59am BST (which I think will be 3:59am EST) June 26th 2020; so don't wait!!

Your Halloween piece/finish looks super, Faith. You don't have much more to go on the Dog piece.
Enjoy your week!
I love how you celebrate Uncle's day!
Lovely finish on the Halloween design....it looks fantastic. I saw the freebie on fb too, but know that i would never get round to stitching it, but a lovely gesture from LDS.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE the fabric you chose for the dog lessons. That is just perfect!

How wonderful for Matt to step up, Uncle's Day is perfect for him.
Horrific Halloween looks fantastic, I love it! I look forward to seeing it fully finished in October?
Dog Lessons looks great, that fabric is perfect with it.
What a wonderful idea to celebrate Uncle's Day with Matt and Jacob--very special that he stepped in to do so many fun things with Jacob!
Your stitching is so cute--especially love the paw print fabric! I don't have a dog, but it would be a great gift piece for some of my friends who do :)
Enjoy your week, Faith! ♥
Such a great Halloween finish, Faith! It is amazing! Love it very much!
Dog lessons is to cute, such a sweet fabric!
The "Pandemic" design is gorgeous, is so big...
I hope Matt and Jacob had a great day!

Congratulations on your Halloween finish. It looks amazing even wrinkly. I have one of them too but it's from a different year and haven't started it yet but you have inspired me to.
Great job!!

Congratulations on your Halloween Happy Dance! Now that's finished, I'm wondering which of your remaining (or new) projects your friendly frogs will move on to next? They seem to like your Halloween projects in particular, so maybe you should steer clear of that theme for a while! :)
