LK Progress

Here's the latest progress on my LK SAL. I'm finally on the last card!! Hopefully, I can finish this off so I can move on to something a bit more Halloweenie. My mom just pulled out a Just Nan Halloween piece that I did for her last year. I bought fabbie, charms etc. to make one for me and I haven't even started it. I've really got the itch now. I don't want to move this piece into some sort of rotation because it is so close to getting finished. I don't know how girls that do large pieces routinely do it.
Georgia, the gecko, still seems to be ill. I think her biggest problem right now is that she is blind. She doesn't feed out of my hand but will get excited when I move a meal worm next to her. Of course, it then takes forever for her to catch it. I've given up and bought a jar of baby food. I've been putting a bit of it on her nose and letting her lick it off. She doesn't seem to like having gunk put on her face, but I don't know of another way to feed her.
I managed to get the family to indulge me and take a drive this weekend to see some of the covered bridges in the area. I wanted to get some pictures of them and hopefully grab a family picture with some fall foliage. The trees really haven't started to turn yet, but I figure I better take the chance and get out while I had the opportunity. There was one tree above the bridge that had some nice orange color. I now have a family picture with all of the seasons in the background. I've been having these printed on a ceramic tile and then mounting them in a wooden frame to make a set for my mud room.


Well, it is time to go pull out the Halloween decorations before school lets out and the bomb goes off in my house.

Happy Stitching,

LK is coming along great.
I sure hope Georgia starts feeling better. I love covered bridges, they are getting so hard to find anymore

Love the Halloween design you found for your blog, very cute. Your Doubleflips are looking great too, you are soooo close to finishing. Looks like you'll be able to start your Halloween piece soon. Glad you had fun on your color tour, the photo turned out wonderful, it will make a lovely addition to the others in your mudroom. Hope Georgia has her meds now and starts to feel better.

What a lovely family picture, your eldest son is so like his Dad and the youngest just like you.

LK looks good, Kim. I feel sorry for your poor little gecko. :( That's a nice photo of the family near the bridge.
