Overdue update

Hi guys!

Lots of progress pictures to share today!

Rascal Raccoon had a couple more colors added to him the last day I stitched on him. 

On The Gift by Blackberry Lane I filled in the lamb a little more, I hope to finish the lamb the next day I stitch on it.

I added half a column to Pitbulls.  This is the only column on this page so I should have a page finish very soon on this.

On the February block for the Joyful World SAL I finished the rest of the border and I got started on the fun stuff on the inside.

And I had a new start!  Deepest Love by Mirabilia.  I am stitching this for a SAL over on the Google+ SAL Blog.

Here was my first days progress.

And this was my second day progress.  I am so in love with the colors in this!

And last but not least I finished another row on ABC's Of Parenting.  Just 3 rows to go!  I am thinking about making this my focus piece and stitching on it every other day just to get it finished.  

Tomorrow Brayden and I are going to a little get together with the seniors in the community and the 4H club to learn some embroidery.  I am way more excited to do this than Brayden!  I will try to take some pictures.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

Reliving more of my childhood activities

Hello again!

My sister and I took all the kiddos sledding at my Dad's last night and had a ball.  The weather was warm, everyone had a great time and I even went down the hill a few times.  Thankfully there is no photo proof.

I have started kitting up Deepest Love, the beads and Kreinik have been ordered and I am already to start March 1. 

This was my project for guild night this week and I am very happy with my progress since we usually spend more time laughing than stitching.

I am now officially finished all the confetti-heavy bed of straw on The Gift by Blackberry Lane.  Hopefully things move a little quicker on this project now.

Well guys it is finally Friday!!

Happy Weekend!

Hope the sun is shining and you're doing something you love.

The tale of 2 needles

Hello my stitchy friends!

I had a very productive day on Monday.  I finished a whole column on Cars but there was a couple casualties.

Needle #1 just snapped in two.  It was well used as you can see it isn't even very shiny any more.

Needle #2 broke when I was trying to frog a stubborn stitch.

I should also mention that is not blood.  It is the backside of my pattern and is highlighter bleed through...so it is kinda blood, just not mine.

But even with all that trouble I managed to stitch a whole column!

And then on Tuesday I started Rascal Raccoon.

We are stormed in again today.  That makes 3 days of school Brayden missed this week!

I hope the weather where you are is better than where I am!

Happy Stitching!
