"Whatcha' workin' on ?" asked Mr. Pinker as I sat in the camp chair stitching away.
"Huh? Oh, Little Clementine! " I replied. Quickly I picked up my fabric to show him my newest Halloween Stamp in the works.
"Cute, " he replied as he turned to walk away.
"Cute? Downright adorable in my book," I chuckled. I then went back to work with great intent on finishing the little feline. Of course, I had already stitched the border for another stamp, the night before. I reasoned it could be filled in later when I come up with an idea.
Meanwhile Mr. Pinker went into the camper. Soon I heard a clickety clank.
"Whatcha' doing, Hun?" I yelled over my shoulder.
" I am going to fix you some supper. A busy gal has got to eat doesn't she? "
"Eeeh you are a keeper! " I shouted at the top of my lungs. And with that I went back to stitching away on little ole' Clementine.
As Mr. Pinker bustled about in the ole' truck camper kitchen, I listened to the melody of a bird serenading me from high above somewhere in the trees. I never did spot her, but I was glad to listen to her as I worked on Clementine. Soon a wonderful aroma wafted through the air. Supper would soon be ready.
"Hmmm, what magical concoction has Mr. Pinker whipped up," I said to Miss Birdie high in the trees.
"Chirp, Chirp" whistled Miss Birdie.
"Hmm I am not sure what that is, but it smells delicious, " I replied back.
From deep in the camper, Mr. Pinker rang, "Supper is ready! "
With that I dropped little Miss Clementine. Baby Jack -aka a jack- o- lantern bucket - had joined the stitch. Only a few more stitches to go and Clementine would be completed.
After filling my belly full , it was time to finish Clementine. It did not take long to do that. I even gave her a little bow which I tied and then stitched into place.
Once we were home , I was able to finish Clementine into a little pin pillow- all complete for the Halloween season.

So what's my plans today? Well, I am thinking of brewing up some trouble by working on another Halloween stamp.
I will also continue working on the ever so lovely Home For the Holidays Sampler by Lori Holt- a sweet gift from dear Joan. The holly is all stitched soon I will be moving toward the house.
As far as my quilting goes? How about my Alabama Beauty!
I will continue working on these projects throughout the week. I think these projects will allow me to get my 15 minutes of stitching a day in. Don't you?
By the way, my 15 minute project for this week was Alabama Beauty. I made it to the bottom of the quilt - now it is time to switch to the other half of the quilt. Woo Hoo! I am doing the Happy Dance!
Well , Sweeties, I have chatted your ears off again. Thank you so much for visiting me today and hearing the tale of Clementine and another lazy day at camp.
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
