Bailing Ship....

Hello readers! I don't get all caught up in the numbers, but I was sad to see that I went from 60 to 59 followers. Sorry you had to bail. Or it could just be Blogger messing with me again. I dont have a huge following, but I love the group of followers I have. I actually feel like I have gotten to know several of you fairly well via our blog exchanges. Sheesh I even talk about your postings like we've chatted on the phone. This has been such an exciting adventure, I have learned a lot from my followers, the bloggers I follow (for the record spell check changed bloggers to boogers, I FIXED it, Hehehe) and from using this program; good bad or indifferent. Improving my technical skills, yea that's it. :) Some bummer news on the stitching front, slow as I go on my HRH Christmas, my GF is kicking STITCH, I was off by two pickets on my fence line on the "Govenor's Palace", as I like to call block two. Boooo! I have successfully undone those teeny tiny over one stitches and hope to get some stitches placed this weekend. I am back into my stitching brain, so look forward to accomplishing some serious stitching on this project. I have some major ground to make up. :) I was just telling Annette of California stitcher that I am getting my snowman rug project all put together and plan to start working it when the first snow flies. Now it has snowed on Halloween since we've lived here, so it could be sooner than later. But in the mean time I will be on a HRH run. Thank you for continuing to follow Porcupine Needle. I do enjoy your comments and I understand some times it just enough to get through reading all the posts as they are rolling in, so comments are a wonderful gift. Going to put in a few stitches this morning before heading out to stack wood up at the house. We had our first fire of the season in the fire place last night. It was nice and cozy. Need to start prepping for the cooler season. Keep on Stitching! P.J. P.S. A blogger ghost keeps hitting the save button as I am typing this and it causes the page to get all fuzzy. Thanks blogger for the spooky experience. I guess it is the season for spooky....mooowhahahahaaaaa. **Edit** p.S.s. Screeeeeeeaaaaam! Come on blogger why are all my paragraphs squished together on my post?!? It Ain't that way in my draft. Give my readers a break, don't you know anything about visual breaks in print so that readers can absorb and stay interested. sheesh give us some "white" space WILL YA!

stacking wood....Sounds like you are surely getting ready!!! And, yes, blogger can be a booger bear~~ Hate it when they toy with us!.... Now, back to that morning coffee and the wonderful smell of a fire..... Take care, Faye

lol about the blogger ghost! Blogger can be a pain sometimes! I think we all lose and gain followers periodically. Speaking of which, I think you're on my reader but I haven't started the following yet. Have to fix that!

We usually see snow by Halloween as well. Summer is officially over as we closed our pool yesterday, and started to seal our deck. Our wood is stacked but we still have to clean the chimney before we start up the wood stove. Frogging over 1 is so unpleasant. Hope you have a fun day stitching. Lisa

Sounds like you're on a HRH roll--even with being off a stitch or two. I always figure that's my way of making the piece my own. ;)

I find that my follower numbers fluctuate a lot. I haven't been blogging much (serious lack of mojo on the stitching & blogging front) but when I do blog frequently, the numbers go up and down.

Enjoy your weekend!

I wish the cool weather would arrive here in California - lol. Still am running the air conditioner here every day. Glad to hear you are done frogging and get to stitch on:) Looking forward to seeing your progress on HRH Christmas. Because of you I bought some wools at a Sew Festival last Thursday - they sure are pretty. Haven't decided how to use them yet lol.
love Annette

I remember the kids trick or treating in the snow when we lived in Colorado but they wouldn't even need a jacket in Texas. I much preferred Texas!

Looking forward to seeing your progress on your HRH piece. I haven't touched my Village in months!

I'm so glad I've stopped by. I've been in a slump with life and haven't posted or read many blogs. Don't worry about the numbers...I'm glad to get to know you:)

The first fire of the season - a cozy warmth that's hard to top! :)

I'll say it again. I hate fall. I like outdoor fires though! Blogger is sometimes a royal pain, but it keeps us together.
