More catching up

These 2 blocks were finished a couple weeks ago but not photographed until Monday. 

Block 5 of The Great Pumpkin.  What is it, you say?  A bee hive pumpkin.  I know.  I've never seen one either.  Somehow it isn't working for me so I'm deciding what to do.  I thought a little squirrel next to it would work but haven't found the right pattern.  It's possible, if just the right little mouse pattern comes along, it could be a little mouse house.  I have a hate-hate* relationship with mice so it's hard to say if the 'right' mouse pattern exists.   I have some time to think about it since this block of the month goes on until fall.

Next, block 2 of my snowman block of the month minus any embellishments.  I did buy a nice piece of orange wool for carrot noses but even that has to wait until after the quilting is done.  Block 3 is waiting for just the right moment to be started. 

After much contemplation, and reading of legal material, I'm going to do a cross stitch pattern give-a-way so stay tuned.  Entrants will need to be followers so get yourself signed up.  I'm going to sort some of my own patterns to sweeten the pot so I need a few days. 

Happy stitching.
