As I sit to write this, I'm hearing hail hit the deck. It does nothing to warm my soul. I am so NOT ready for winter. I am so an 80 degree girl. Luckily, I only had to sit through a horrid amount of wind this afternoon for my oldest son's last soccer game. I think we get a whole week and a half off before winter training starts. At least it will be held indoors and only training which isn't real exciting to watch. One of the parent's on my youngest son's team recruited me for a coed parental team this winter. I'm hoping this will help me lose some weight. I really cannot run, so I think it will be more of an excercise in humility. At least the other players will also be 40 somethings. 
Last week I had a real productive week and finished off the Lizzie Kate that I was doing as a SAL with my DSIL. I even have my charms on. It will probably sit in my finished piece pile until somebody has a framing sale or I get a real good framing coupon. I've also been doing a bit of work on a biscournu for a biscournu group that I joined. I'm nearly done, but I cannot add a picture until the recipient receives it. I've ironed some monster green fabric up to start a Halloween freebie that was on the San-Man Originals site. Hopefully, I can get this pretty far along before Halloween. I also was taking advantage of the nice weather last week to get in a bit of geocaching. I'm also hoping that the hiking involved here will help me with weight maintenance. As you can probably guess, working on the eating end is not an option. I have NO willpower. I've digressed again. I also found a good tutorial on floss tags, so I went out and picked up some eyelets and book rings to make a few. I still haven't a clue as to what patterns, I want to stitch, but I've got the stuff to do it, LOL. I'm hoping that these will go fast and I figured that they'd make good stocking stuffers.
On the critter front, Georgia is not doing real well. She is continuing to lose weight and has no desire to eat. I've been feeding her via a syringe for the past three weeks. I'm thinking that I would ease her suffering if I just stopped feeding her. Of course, then her death would be my fault because I never fed her. If she were a cat or dog, I think it would be time to make that painful call. My son seems resigned to the fact that she will never get better. I'm glad that he's come to accept this.
Stay warm,

Your flips turned out wonderfully. Congrats on getting done. I knew I should have stayed focused on the charms, although I did tease that you would probably get it done before me as you are so much better at staying on track and finishing projects. Have fun starting your new Halloween one, it was fun to start something new and smaller. Can't wait to see it on the green. Sorry to hear about Georgia, it would be so hard to have it up in the air like that on if she'll get better and if not how to handle it. No hail here, but it has been rainy and cold most of the day. Like you, I'm soooo not ready for winter.

Great finish on the Flips!! Also thanks for the link to San Man...I never knew about that one!
Your finish is lovely! Congrats.
Sorry to read about Georgia. That's such a hard thing to go through, trying to make the right decision.
Like you I'm and 80 degrees lady, I just hate being cold.
Lovely finish well done.
Your LK finish is fantastic! It's truly lovely.
