Pattern eleven of Wild Olive's Autumn Stitching Club is this cute smiley leaf! Colourful leaves are probably one of my favourite things about autumn, although they are looking a little more soggy and a little less crisp at the moment. I don't think it's autumn anymore!
I only have two more of these patterns to stitch until they become a cushion cover. At the moment, I stitch these in front of Homeland

My latest embroidered pattern for the autumn stitching club is this gourd! I'll be honest with you, I don't really know what a gourd is. Is it like a funny shaped courgette? Me and James once bought a bitter gourd from the exotic vegetable section in Morrisons and used it in a curry - it was pretty gross but we could have been cooking it wrong!
I can't believe I only have two more patterns to go

I like the title of my monthly round-up posts to have some alliteration but there are no "goodbye" phrases which start with O. I tried to think of a good title, I really did! Anyway, October has ended! (A while ago now I know, but I've been busy catching up on sleep.) It was a good month including my favourite holiday, Halloween! Here's what I've been up to this month.
I shared a lot of my outfits
