These are the icons I embroidered throughout the month in order of when they occurred and what each one represents.

\- Trash grabber - Through work, I volunteered to pick up litter in Arrochar. 

\- Poison - I read Killers of the Flower Moon which covered the killing of dozens of people.

\- Pool ball - My boyfriend's sister and her partner came to visit. We went out and played pool in the evening.

\- Warning sign - I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

\- Champagne flute - Attended the first of our monthly book club at work where we discussed The Hunting Party.

\- Arrow - I went and played darts with my boyfriend, I started out quite terrible but I did improve by the end of the night.

\- Hot chocolate - I met up with a friend for hot chocolate topped with toasted marshmallow.

\- Cat whiskers - Scratchy bit my hand.

\- Lab flask - I finally finished reading Frankenstein. It only took three tries and an impending book club meeting to finish it!

\- Jack-O-Lantern face - We had some Halloween celebrations at work including a Spooky trivia game that I helped plan. 

Happy November! My 2026 Micro Embroidery Journal sure is coming along nicely! In October I went litter picking, I played pool and darts a few times, I met up with a friend for hot chocolate, went to a few book club meetings, and even hosted some Halloween activities at work!
