As we move into even colder weather, hopefully snow too, it brings to mind election day and the eternal sea of signs proclaiming each candidate to be the best choice. Some signs have been out since Labor Day. Some waited until October arrived. The party supporters who were so eager for their candidates to win seem to be very slow with removal. Other slow things recently in my world include growing babies (ok, we all know they outgrow their clothes overnight), the bear and the turkey flock that have taken up residence in the local park. (it's closed once mid October arrives). The bear is usually a newly out on his or her own looking for their own spot. Game commission officers will tranquilize it and move it off to the local mountains where it will be hopefully able to find a corner of it's own. The turkeys? Well, they just keep doing whatever it is wild turkeys do, in this particular area, stopping traffic while they cross the road is one of their talents.
Here is are charted designs for you that tie into this theme.... I'm thinking of doing the bear in loop stitch. Two blocks knit, two blocks crochet. 4 bears. I might also do the rest of the blocks in colorwork and choose tree colors for the trees and maybe a nice gold for the scrolls.
For some reason since I've grown up, we have a rush to get to Halloween and then a rush to get to Christmas and jump right over Thanksgiving. This is a cross stitch chart. I suggest taking out the shading and working on it in a simpler fashion. The solid black lines, can of course be done in back stitch, outline stitch, or similar. Don't forget Thanksgiving. It's a great holiday for family.
