Happy Stitching everyone!

Block 9 is finished!

Hello everyone!

First I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who said a little prayer or sent a thought to my father.  I am happy to say he is on the mend and recovering very well from his surgery.

Second is I have finished block 9 on Save The Stitches!

Here is the whole project so far.  Excuse the wrinkles, I have yet to invest in an iron after I gave mine to my mom.

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

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hiya pals!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

I had the most wonderful day ever.  We went on a little road trip yesterday to visit my father and he is doing so good after his surgery.  I was quite surprised at how healthy he looked.  My boys gave me some red roses and Brayden wrote me the sweetest letter about how he loves my for my cooking.  It was a perfect day!

Now on to the stitching!

I thought I better show what my ABC Christmas by LizzieKate looks like as a whole.  I have never stitched a project where I jumped around like this but it is kinda fun to stitch it this way.

I filled in two more patterns on Save The Stitches by Elizabeth Almond.  I think another day should finish this block up.

And I am kinda obsessed with this right now.  Mothers and Daughters by The Victoria Sampler.  It stitches up really fast and is so pretty.  I can't wait to give it to my Mama!

Well I am off to bed, nothing like 3 hours in the car to make you sleepy.

I hope you all had a lovely day and thanks for stopping by for the visit!

Happy Stitching!

A little update and my retreat stitching

Hiya!

I have been stitching lately, just not posting.  But here is what I have been up to.

Deepest Love by Mirabilia is coming along slowly.  I don't know why since I love stitching on it but every time it comes up in rotation I seem to be too busy to stitch.

I am almost finished of my third word on ABC Christmas.  I hope to have it finished tomorrow.

I completed one pattern on block 9 of Save The Stitches.

And now on to retreat stitching!

I got there on Friday after lunch and got right to stitching.  I managed a few hundred stitches on Hannah Lynn before I called it a night the first day.  Getting close to the top of her head! 

Saturday I started Mothers And Daughters Sampler by The Victoria Sampler.  I am so in love with this and actually am with all their patterns, I can't wait to finish this and stitch more of their beautiful designs!  

And then the last day I worked on Halloween Rules by LizzieKate.

The retreat was so much fun, we have a great group and spent a lot of time laughing, maybe more laughing than stitching but that is ok.

Hope you all are getting lots of stitching done!

Happy Stitching!

March TUSAL

Hey guys!

It is TUSAL time again!  Here are my orts for this month.

Pretty measly.

But I did work on lots of projects this month.

First up is The Gift by Blackberry Lane.  This month I finished the little lamb and started on the verse and filled in the sides.  And after yesterday's stitching on it all I have left to do is finish 2 and a half rows of words and the top of the border.  This will definitely be a finish next month!

Next up is February from the Joyful World SAL by The Snowflower Diaries.  Last month all I had stitched was the border and the letter F.  I hope to get this one finished this month too.

ABC's Of Parenting by LizzieKate is closing in on a finish also.  Last month I was at "take time" and part way through the month I adjusted my rotation to start stitching on this every other day.  I am stitching on it today and I have a guild meeting tonight as long as the weather holds out so I am hoping to get close to finishing it.

I did have one finish this month which was Rascal Raccoon by Brooke's Books which is part of her Advent Animals freebies.  I have yet to start on the next one and as much as I am loving these cuties I think I need a break.  But I really want to have them finished for Christmas this year so I am going to suffer through.

I spent 1 and half days stitching on Pitbulls from FlumpkinsXstitch and managed about half a column.  I hope to finish that column this month and that will make a page finish on this project.

A new start this month was Deepest Love by Mirabilia.  I put it aside to finish ABC's Of Parenting and I am hoping to bring it back into the rotation once ABC's is finished.

And last but not least was Save The Stitches.  I finished Block 8!  I so can't wait to have this finished and hanging on my wall.

Thanks everyone for coming to visit with me!

Happy Stitching!

Another Save The Stitches block finished

Hiya!

I finished block 8 of Save The Stitches.  I really should stitch on this more, I can't wait until it is finished!

I almost finished the little lamb on The Gift by Blackberry Lane.  This one should go much faster now, all the tedious parts are over.

It is foggy and wet here today...I am ready for summer sun and warm days.  They can't come soon enough!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

A page finish!

Hello there!

I have a page finish this week!  Below is page 12 finished on Beatrix Potter Bunnies.

And here is what it looks like so far.  I am so in love with it and I really can't wait to have it hanging on my wall.

So since I put my bunnies away for a bit the next up in line is Save The Stitches,  The patterns on this block seem fairly simple so I am hoping they go smoothly.

I hope you are all having some lovely stitchy time!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy stitching!

Save The Stitches Block 6

Welcome friends!

I finished of block 6 on Save The Stitches.

I need to come to terms with the fact that I am due for a new camera.  This is just a sad picture :(

This one isn't much better but you get the idea.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!
