Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party! Pick up one of your projects and enjoy some restful stitching with us!
Thank you to all who offered me organizational tips on last week's post. I haven't had a chance to put anything into practice yet because I have been struggling with a bout of covid. I haven't accomplished anything except staying alive, and putting a few stitches in some projects. I have been thinking about my stitching as medicine and have been so thankful for something creative to focus on (when my mind wasn't muddled and my head didn't hurt)!Pages

Slow Sunday Stitching
Uh oh... there are some wonky covid stitches in there for sure! It's not quite as finished as I thought! Oh well, it was very helpful medicine for me this week, and the missing stitches can still be added.
I'm planning to skip the November block (pineapples) and go straight to the December Christmas ornament block.
What are you hand stitching this week? Do you find your slow stitching to be medicinal? Link up your blog post below and share your projects with us!

Slow Sunday Stitching
Welcome to the weekly hand stitching party where you can visit with members of the Slow Sunday Stitching crew around the world, right from the comfort of your own home!
I continue to be smitten by my adorable grandson, who is always doing something interesting with his hands! Look at his cute little self! The beautiful blanket was crocheted for him by my friend Janet and it is used for cuddles, especially to warm up after bath time.
He also has a lovely blanket made by my friend Louise and it is also used regularly. These blankets have really tempted me to learn to crochet. Can I afford to become obsessed with one more type of relaxing and beautiful hand stitching?!?
Which leads me to my question of the week:
How do you juggle various types of hand stitching that you enjoy? How do you decide which project to work on? I am feeling overwhelmed and having trouble prioritizing my time, which means that I have many UFOs of crafts laying around in various stages of unfinishedness!
If you have any tips on how you keep all your hand stitching projects organized, please share them in the comments below or in your blog posts. I appreciate each and every one of you in our stitching community, and thank you for all the things I learn from you! 💖

October Flosstube
There are lots of hilarious and blurry photos. The pumpkin was tippy and not quite flat on the bottom, but we finally did finally get a good one. It was so much fun!
Another fun thing I did this week was to make a flosstube video showing the projects I worked on in October.
I show 2 mini finishes, a few started projects, a wonderfully creative stitchy bag (made by fellow slow stitcher Deanna), and I opened up the Fat Quarter's 2024 Spooky Box.
I look forward to making the Witchy Manor project (using the fabric bundle called Pumpkins and Potions) at my quilt guild retreat later in November. I am thinking of only making the top part and not putting all those HST blocks on the bottom. Such a fun treat box for quilters!
Here is a photo of one of my recently started projects. It is called "Look for the Beauty" by Bent Creek. It's a small start, and I am substituting a lot of the floss for other flosses that I have on hand. The bird was stitched in a Roxy floss colour called "Annie". I hope this project turns out okay using my leftover flosses.
I will always remember starting this project and stitching it on a beach in October on an usually warm fall day. It was very unexpected weather and I soaked up every sunny minute!
Last night we turned our clocks back for the end of daylight saving time, so it will be dark at suppertime now. That's okay... I have this great memory to enjoy and lots of quilts to keep me warm through the winter.
Your turn now - what are you stitching this week?
We hope you will link up your blog post and share your projects with us.
