Finish #5

Deepest Love by Mirabilia

Started on March 1, 2017

Finished February 21, 2019

Stitched on 32ct Iris Garden Over Dyed Belfast Linen by Silkweaver

Fibers - Used what was called for

Life and a few pictures

Well well well.  It's been quite awhile since I have had a second to sit down and write a post.  And in all honesty I really should be folding clothes right now but it can wait.

Actually Thomas really needs a bath so I am going to do that and be right back.

Ok that is done.  I really have no idea how single moms do it.

So how have you all been?  I am struggling to keep up with my blog reading but so far I am managing, kinda.  Work is going quite well.  My part time job turned into a full time job while one of the managers had to take a leave but she will be back in 2 more weeks so I will be back to part time and that is quite fine with me.  My house is very neglected and I miss my family but the extra money right now is very nice.

On to the stitching!

Halloween Rules - I am actually quite a bit further on this block but I guess I haven't taken a picture lately.  How I would love to have this hanging on my wall right now but hopefully it will be next Halloween.

Deepest Love - I am enjoying this one so much!  

Larry Lion - Looking quite creepy here.  I guess that works for this time of year.  I am also quite a bit further on this one.  I think I need to be a little more on top of taking progress pictures.

Mothers and Daughters - This one is accurate except for the few stitches I put in today. 

And lastly is Hannah Lynn.  I am actually closer to the top of her head which means I almost have another column done!  Yay!

Well yall, it's been nice to catch up but I am tired so I am gong to go to bed and hopefully watch a whole episode of Downton Abbey before I fall asleep.

I am hoping to be back tomorrow... maybe... with a finish.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

The last hoorah of summer 2017

Hello again!

We had our last camping trip of the summer last weekend.  We went to the Dundas Plow Match which we have been doing for the last 4 years.  Brayden loves it!  Thomas finds it completely boring.  They couldn't be any more opposite.  

Here is my Tom showing off his new hat.

And here are the boys doing the "Piggy Swat".  They used to use real pigs and the kids would hold a feed bag to herd them into the little building without actually touching the pig but you know how things are and someone decided that it was inhumane to the pig.  So now the kids have a pink ball with face drawn on it and a fly swatter to swat the "pig" into the building.  They still had fun so that is all the matters.

Mr. Monty was along for the weekend too.

Since Thomas wasn't enjoying the fair as much as his brother we spent a lot of time in the camper relaxing and I got quite a bit of stitching done.

Here is Deepest Love.  I almost finished her tail!

I also got quite a bit stitched on The Joyful World SAL.

Remy Rabbit only needs his gingerbread man finished and backstitching.  Another day should finish him up.

Yesterday I finished another word on ABC Christmas "Ornament".

Here is the whole project so far.

Well that is all the news I have to share.  Except that I am knee deep searching for a job.  I have applied to a few so everyone keep your fingers crossed that I find a good one!

Happy Stitching!

July TUSAL

Hello!

July is almost over!!!  Where is the summer going?!  I only have one more month of my baby being home with me everyday until he starts pre-school and Brayden starts grade 3!  I could cry.  I need a moment.

Ok back to business.

Here is my July TUSAL.  It looks like a good amount but is actually more frogging orts than stitching orts.

And since I just posted all my progress a few days ago I am only going to show the projects that have progress on them since that post.

First up Halloween Rules by LizzieKate.  I fixed all the mistakes and added a few stitches to the puppy's face.  I hope to get this first block finished by next month.

I finished the first page of my working copy on Deepest Love by Mirabilia

 I am falling behind on my Brooke's Books Advent Animals.  This is the first month since I started that I don't think I am going to have one finished.  I love them but I am going to be happy to be when they are done!

Part 4 of the Steotchalong mystery stitch-a-long is complete.  I don't even have half a guess what it is going to be.  Do any of you?  All their other mystery stitch-a-longs have been movie/tv related...if that helps any!

I have finished 3 colors so far on the March portion of The Joyful World SAL by The Snowflower Diaries.

And lastly I added another word to ABC Christmas by LizzieKate.  This month over at the Christmas Ornie SAL Blog the theme was birds/animals so I stitched Dove.  There is an actual dove beside the word and in real life he doesn't blend into the fabric.

Thanks everyone for stopping by and leaving comments!  I love each and every one of them :)

Happy stitching!

Happy Belated Canada Day and 4th of July!!

And since I got sidetracked yesterday, now belated 4th of July!

Hello to you all!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday if you celebrate and if not I hope you had a great time with whatever you were doing.  (Hopefully getting some stitching in!)

Here are a couple pictures of my boys from the Canada Day parade.

And here is Brayden on his last day of grade 2!  I can't believe how fast this school year went!

And now a little stitching update!

All I have left on the first block of Halloween Rules is the dog.

I am very close to finishing the first "page" on Deepest Love.  I say "page" because I made a working copy so it will be the first page of my working copy, the actually pattern is really only 1 huge page, front and back.

Remy Rabbit is slow going but getting there.

March from the Joyful World SAL by The Snowflower Diaries is coming along too.  All the orange color is finished and I started adding the prettiest shade of blue.

So yesterday turned out to be quite a day.  I had made plans with a good friend of mine to have an evening of stitching.  After I ate supper, which I had burnt fairly well on the BBQ...yum... I headed out.  I decided to stop for 5 skeins of floss at Micheal's so I just grabbed some change and headed in when I thought no I better go back to the van and grab my wallet, I shouldn't leave it in the van.  While doing so I set my keys on the seat and then proceeded to lock the doors.  45 minutes and a coat hanger later I was on the road again.  I did make it to my friends house but our evening ended up being a lot shorter than we had planned.  Oh well we had a fun time anyway.

Wishing all of you a happy day and hoping you all are getting to do something you love.

A Little bit of stitching

Hello everyone!

I hope you all are well and getting lots of stitching in!

Here is what I have been up to lately.

Hannah Lynn has almost another row finished.

I am almost finished with the border on March from The Joyful World SAL.

I finished the first page on Mothers and Daughters by The Victoria Sampler.  This one is just so much fun to stitch!

I am almost finished with the cute little ghost on Halloween Rules by LizzieKate.  All he needs is his little pumpkin basket.

 My mermaid almost has a fin on Deepest Love by Mirabilia.

And lastly is ABC Christmas by LizzieKate with a paw from my little friend.

And speaking of my little friend, here he is enjoying an afternoon nap.  Excuse my bare foot :)

Thank you all so much for stopping by to visit with me!

Happy Stitching!

A little update and a BIG update!

Hello!!

It is a beautiful warm sunny day here on Prince Edward Island.  I have been out enjoyed the sun quite a bit today but more on that later.

On to the stitching!

I am enjoying stitching this one so much!  It is Mothers & Daughters by The Victoria Sampler.  I am about 1/3 of the way through and am already planning the next one I am going to stitch.

 Next is Halloween Rules by Lizzie Kate.  I finished off the header, which I am not showing here, and added a little ghost :)

Deepest Love is coming slowly but surely.  I am almost finished with the first page but if I keep going at this pace I will never finish it!

And since I finished Hamilton Horse yesterday I rewarded myself with stitching on Hannah Lynn from Heaven and Earth Designs for the rest of the day.  I almost have made it to the top again!

And now for my big update!

I would like to introduce you all to Monty!  The boys are quite taken with him and I am too!  This is why I have been enjoying the sunshine so much, we are outside 15 times a day I am sure!  

Oh to be a puppy!

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit with me!

Happy Stitching!
