I know, I know… this update is well overdue. Life has been a little crazy lately, but better late than never, right? And honestly, I couldn’t skip posting about October since it’s my favorite month of the year! Between the cooler weather, cozy vibes, and changing colors, it’s always such a reset moment, and that definitely came through in this month’s stitching.

October brought a definite change in my temperature cross stitch palette. After several warm, orange and yellow months, it felt refreshing to return to cooler tones. Most of this month’s stitches were soft greens and teals, reflecting temperatures that were significantly cooler than I expected for this time of year. That’s on tracking average temps instead of high temps.

In Burke, the average daily temperatures ranged from 47.8ºF to 72.1ºF. The milder days and crisp evenings made for a calm and cozy month of stitching, and I love how those cooler shades stand out beside the warmer summer colors.

Ten cats down and only two left for the year! I can hardly believe how close this project is to being complete. Here’s hoping November brings even more of those pretty teal tones before winter really sets in.
