Day 185 Page Finish on Hannah Lynn!

Day 61 - First page finish.

Day 185- Page 2 finished on Hannah Lynn!!

This is about where the 2 complete pages are.

And I have a new start, Hen Party.  This one is for my aunt.  When I was young my aunt used to take her nieces for the weekend and she called it a chicken party, so when I saw this chart I knew I had to stitch it for her.  I can't wait to finish it so I can give it to her.  

And while uploading pictures from my camera to my computer I found out someone had been playing with my camera.  He is lucky he is so cute!  This is my sweet baby Thomas or Tom-O as we call him.

 And thank you to everyone who visits and leaves comments.  I am not even going to tell you my excitement level when I see there is a new comment or follower but just know that you all make my day :)xx

Day 174 Hannah Lynn

Day 161

Day 174

This next row will have a page finish in it so once I get to that she will be put away for a very long time I am sure.  Happy Stitching!!

Day 161 Hannah Lynn

Before : Day 147

Day 161 - What a difference to a sunny daytime picture to a night time picture!  She sure is coming along though.  Sorry for such a cruddy picture :(

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 147 Hannah Lynn

Hello!!  I've managed to complete another diagonal row on Hannah Lynn.

Here she is on Day 128.

I know that looks like a major knot at the bottom but so far I haven't had any knots that were very bad.  That was one of my fears when I started parking but so far so good.  

And here is day 147.

I am about two and a half rows from a page finish so I am very excited to get that page finished and move on to something else for a bit.  Next up is my Beatrix Potter bunnies but I may slip something little in to do first.  I need a break from doing all these full coverage pieces.  They can be draining!

Ta-Ta for now!

Day 128 on Hannah Lynn

Hello there!!  I made it to the top again on Hannah Lynn.  These posts are going to get fewer and further between as these diagonal columns get longer.  Right now a column is spread out over 5 different pages. 

Here is before on day 115.

And here is where I am today.  I hope Micheal's has a good supply of DMC 310 because I am going through it like wild!!

Happy Stitching!! :)

Day 115 on Hannah Lynn

Well hello again!  Here is day 102 of Hannah Lynn from Heaven and Earth Designs.

And day 115, made it to the top again. I estimate that I am about 1/8th done.  So not going to be finished of this any time soon.  

Happy Stitching!

Day 102 on Hannah Lynn

Here is the before. 

And here it is now.  I don't want to put it down!

Happy Stitching!

Day 88 Hannah Lynn and 30% off sale at Mo's Sale

Made to the top of another row, I have decided that is when I will share progress on this and maybe when I finish a page.  

I also just placed my first order for Mo's Sale.  She has cotton floss, silk floss and fabric all hand-dyed and gorgeous!!  And right now she is having a 30% off sale just use the code FEB30 all capital letters.  I can't wait for it to arrive!

Day 80 - 87 Hannah Lynn

 I have decided to stop showing daily progress on this one, simply because I am not doing much daily progress on it.  Anywhoo here is day 80.

Day 87

I think maybe from now on I will just start posting a picture every time I get to the top of a row.  

Also this is project I worked on for the Mellisously Hopeless SAL on the Cross Stitch, Its Fun!!! facebook group

Happy Stitching!!

Another new start... this is becoming a habit

I broke down at stitching group last night and started Save The Stitches.  I didn't get much done because...

...we were learning how to make Dorset buttons.  I am so lucky to be part of a group of such talented people who are willing to share their knowledge with the rest of us.  If you are not a part of a stitching group you should see if there is one in your area, I can't promise they will be a good as the one I am a part of, but I promise you will have a good time!

This was fun to do but it took so long!!  There was a lot of thread to be wrapped around that ring.

 Another one of the members spent Christmas with her family, and there was a shop close by that sold tatting needles so she picked me up a set.  Can't wait to try these out!

And a little bit of progress on Hannah Lynn. I can't seem to get back into the grove on this one, but I need to because I would like to add at least 1 page to the SAL... it is not looking very good right now.

Hope everyone has a good day doing whatever makes you happy!  :)

TUSAL and day 78 Hannah Lynn

Hello stitching buddies!!  Here is my first TUSAL.  It is pretty sad looking but I know my contributions to my ORT jar are never going to be very big.  I use the thread until it isn't long enough to go through the fabric anymore and I cut my thread very long, so for every ort in there, there should probably be 2 if I cut my thread the proper length.  But I live on the edge (probably more like cheap and lazy :) ha!) 

 Day 78 Hannah Lynn - not too many stitches yesterday, I finished Don't Cry Because It's Over yesterday so I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time on this and I went to donate blood last night and all I want to do after that is sleep so that is what I did.

Happy Stitching!!

Day 75-77 Hannah Lynn and Quote SAL start

They were having a great conversation about whatever was going on out the window.  

Day 75

 Day 76

 Day 77 - And a full view of the whole thing while I move the Qsnaps.

 Day 1 start of the Quote SAL on Cross Stitch, Its fun!!! facebook group.  Don't Cry Because It's Over by Lizzie Kate.
After I took the picture I noticed my E was a row too short so....

 This is my day 1 frogging picture haha.

Day 71-74 on Hannah Lynn

Day 71

 Day 72

 Day 73

 Day 74

This seems to be slow going right now.  I would like to get a whole day to just sit and stitch this.

I have stumbled across some new designers that you should check out.  I think I may put some links in the side bar so check back as I plan to add more.

Paine Free Crafts - Same idea as Heaven and Earth, artwork that has been licensed and made into a cross stitch chart.  It is completely legal and the charts are gorgeous.

Eclectic Bloke Designs - Same as Paine Free Crafts - artwork into cross stitches.  Equally as gorgeous.

Sew sew n sew - I have a new love, I am counting off the stitches until I feel I have finished enough wips to start this pattern.  And that alphabet, and the 4 seasons, and, and, and....  I want all of them.

On this Cross stitch, It's Fun! facebook group there are Stitch-A-Longs all year long and this first one I am participating in starts this Friday and it is stitch a quote.  I will me stitching my winning LizzieKate "Don't cry because it is over, Smile because it happened"  I am super excited to start it.

Thanks for reading and Happy Stitching!!
