First TUSAL of 2017

Hello all!

It is TUSAL time again!  Wondering why I am sharing thread scraps?  Head over to Daffycat's blog to find out all about it.

So without further ado, my orts:

This month the projects that contributed to my orts were -

Colin Cardinal by Brooke's Books - completed

Cassie Cow by Brooke's Books - barely started

The Gift by Blackberry Lane - Still plugging away.  This was supposed to be my ornament for December on the Christmas Ornie SAL Blog so I am now 2 months behind.  Eeek!

ABC's of Parenting by Lizzie Kate - made it past the half-way mark!

Cars by a desinger on Etsy who seems to have closed up shop - finished 2 rows!

And that is it for this month.

Happy Stitching!

Finish #1 of 2017

Colin Cardinal by Brooke's Books

Started on January 2, 2017

Finished on January 23, 2017

Stitched on 35ct Off-White Northern Cross Linen

Fibers used - DMC

Fingers crossed and hope for the best

Hey guys!

Hope you are all well!

So this is my cars progress.  There is a mistake.  I do not know where it is.  All I know is those white stitches are off by 3 in length but I can't figure out where they started going wrong or if they are actually wrong at all.  Anyway I am just going to start stitching the next column and hopefully the mistake will show its self and if not we are just going to try to go with it.

I am so close to being finished of Colin Cardinal that I hope to finish him up tomorrow.  We will see though.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

A long overdue FFO

Hiya!

Remember I said we were going to see Live By Night, well the restaurant was so busy that we didn't get our food until the movie was starting so there was no way we were going to make it.  The food made up for it though.  I got the Mediterranean Platter which had lemon chicken over Lebanese rice, hummus with pita bread, and a greek salad, I am getting hungry just thinking about it!  So we are going to try for a movie another night.

Here is my progress on ABC's of Parenting, almost halfway finished!

I am so so excited to finally have this hanging on my wall!  It is the 2014 Frosted Pumpkin mystery stitch-a-long Once Upon A Time Sampler.  I stitched it in 2014 and then it waited patiently until I took it to my Mama's for her to finish it for me.  I think I am going to ask for a sewing machine one of these Christmas's and learn to use it.  But until then I am very lucky my mom is a seamstress.  She did a perfect job and it makes me so happy to have it hanging in my house.

I worked on Colin Cardinal some more.  I don't know why but it feels like he is taking forever!  He might be my favorite though with his little gingerbread bird house.  Hopefully one more day and he should be finished.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy Stitching!

Update!

Hello friends!

Here is my progress from the last few days.

Cars - before picture on top

Colin Cardinal by Brooke's Books - All I had stitched last time you saw this was part of the roof, some of the snow sparkles and the white on one wall.

The Gift by Blackberry Lane - before picture on the bottom

ABC's of Parenting by Lizzie Kate - I don't even know where I was the last time I showed it here.

It was my birthday earlier this week and tonight my man is taking out for supper and a movie.  I think we are going to see Live By Night.  I will let you all know how it is.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

Playing catch-up on the last few days

Hey there!

Here is my progress from the last few days :

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!  We have a winter storm warning in effect, 30-40cm expected tonight and tomorrow so I maybe be stuck in my house for a few days.  Yippee!!

Happy Stitching!

Started Colin Cardinal

Hiya!

I started Colin Cardinal from Brooke's Books Advent Animals on January 2 and managed to get to here:

I am not sure if I am going to keep stitching one of these a month or if I am just going to stitch one after another just to get them finished.  I think I am ready to just get them finished.

Hope you all are having a wonderful day doing something you love!

Happy Stitching!
