Somehow I keep getting later and later at this blog, so I'll get this months up early, of course that will have to include the two months before as well
September question: Are you a seasonal stitcher? If so, which seasons do you find yourself more productive or less productive?
I am not a seasonal stitcher in the slightest.
October question: How do you begin planning for the next year with your stitching? Tell us your process.
I honestly don't plan a lot, it's just a case of finish the one I'm working on, and sometimes I have a vague idea of what I want to do next, sometimes I just wing it.
November question: What is your favorite way to finish ornaments and/or smalls?
Whenever possible I like to have it two sided and finish with whip stitch, this does work best on biscournu style or Mill hill snowflakes. After that I will look up a method that will work best.
So progress for the last few months has been mainly on the Temperatures stitch and once November started I dropped pretty much everything and started in on ornaments, I'm having such fun with them.
So here is September and October of the Temperature stitch
And Two more from the Durene Jones Polar Pals collection
And Three more Mill Hill Ornaments

I'm sure I have some progress on Bellatrix, but I put her away for ornament season and forgot to take a progress shot, I'll have one next month.
As for what I watched
Critical Role
Dimension 20
Kelsey Dangerous’ Sims 4 playthroughs
Game of Thrones Season 5 and 6 Now I’m caught up to where I watched originally
Men with Brooms - This Canadian movie about curling is as ridiculous as it gets, it’s so fun.
Mulan - An absolute favorite I love the story and the music and everything about it.Mulan 2 - However I’m not sure why this even exists, but I got it in a two pack so it had to be watched.
Barbie - I enjoyed it so much I went back
The Martian - one is brilliant, it’s smart and funny and heartwarming, everything I love about a disaster movie
Also it has been determined that the movies have spent up to 900 million USD rescuing Matt Damon. My Big Fat Greek Wedding - It’s so hilarious and romantic, the perfect summer foil to action movies, which is why it did so well when it first came out, kind of like the Barbie movie this year.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 - It’s a decent sequel for a movie that didn’t need one
A Haunting in Venice - I rather loved this, Kenneth Branagh isn’t my favourite Poirot at all, but the movie itself is wonderfully atmospheric, he directed it brilliantly and the cinematographer was amazing
Branded - My brother leant me this, possibly to get it out of his house quicker, this is a weird movie about the evils of advertising that weirdly takes place in Russia and morphs into a strange alien movie, it actually sounds better than it is.
My Fair Lady - This was the first movie I ever bought, way back in the 80’s on VHS, rather appropriate that it’s one of the few Blu-rays I own now. There is a reason this is the last movie of my movie project, it has always been my very favorite there is so much joy to this movie and I can’t even count the number of times I’ve watched it, but I love it to death every time.
And that is it. I have now watched every movie (not series) I own, it only took me 10 years
Ba’al: The Storm God - Another low budget disaster movie my brother leant me. This one has a decent storyline and a supernatural aspect that made it quite enjoyable.
And Then There Were None - Another one from my brother, this one the truly excellent most recent version of the Agatha Christie book
