Since this was an International Hermit and Stitch Weekend, I did a lot of stitching (and a completion) that I reported about here. Since Sunday, however, I did accomplish a few more things...
Take a Stitch Tuesday 2014, Stitch 140, is the last for the year while Sharon B takes a well-deserved holiday hiatus. It wasn't a difficult stitch to do (although my cable chain doesn't look quite right) and so the Threaded Cable Chain is now on my latest "Page" of stitch samples:

Here is the finished page, Page 4 for 2014:
The stitches are #131 Beaded Lock Stitch, #132 Kiko's Flower, #133 Triple Chain, #134 Fern, #135 Beaded Fern, #136 Knotted Buttonhole, #137 Beaded Knotted Buttonhole, #138 Barb, #139 Beaded Barb and #140 Threaded Cable Chain.
I also got to work on "Save the Stitches", frogging a short piece from assignment thirteen's outline (if you look closely, you can see where the linen was distorted from the frogging - I hope that the fill stitches will cover that) and completing outlines for assignment fourteen and most of assignment fifteen:
Only assignments 16 - 21 to go (to say nothing of the remaining five or so assignments that I expect to be in the piece)!
No progress on the November Bead Journal Project and not likely to be in this month of November what with Thanksgiving ton Thursday to prepare for (husband's brother, highly pregnant picky eater niece *and* niece's husband are coming to our house! AAARGH), the last university home football game of the season on Friday (we have tickets in the President's Box --- third time this season!), a potential house guest this weekend. What is more, I'm starting the year off on Monday with an annual eye exam which means dilated pupils and no close vision for at least 24 hours (my eyes take forever to recover from those drops)! Also, to add more pressure to this pot, in addition to Christmas and all that comes with that holiday (Cards to address and mail; gifts to select, wrap and mail; trees to decorate, and the family Christmas get-together), coming up in December are the December BJP (AAACK!)and the December Crazy Quilt Journal block. It's like one step forward and two steps back!
