Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

Three French Hens

Hello!  Happy Weekend!

I have finished Day 3 on Plum Street Samplers' 12 Days of Christmas freebies.  To find the charts just go back through the last few blog posts or there is a link down the right side that says "Sunday Mystery Sampler".  I am really excited for Day 4 because it has black in it so I am interested to see how the black I chose looks with these colors.  But back to Promise me for now.  

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stitching :)

Halfway there on Promise Me

Hello stitchy friends!!  This is a double halfway point.  Halfway on this stitch and halfway done of the 3 I am doing.  It is all down hill from here.

Happy almost Friday!!

Temari Tuesday

Hi!  Last night at stitching was Temari Tuesday so below is the Temari Ball that I made.  This one definitely had the most preparation involved but was really simple once all the divisions were all marked off.  You start with a north and south pole, then you mark off the equator.  From there I am not sure what happened really but the other lines came together some how and it turned out perfect.  Also the guild member who hosted the meeting last night made the most wonderful meringues, they were divine!     

And I almost have another row finished on Promise Me.  So it will soon be time to stitch day 3 on 12 days!!  I am a little excited to get back to that project.

Well it is time to go put Thomas down for his nap and hopefully I will get this row finished today.                                                                            Happy Stitching!!!

Two Turtle Doves

Hello!  I have another day done on Plum Street's 12 Days of Christmas freebie.  

And I finished a line on Promise Me round #2.  The second line has been started and it seems to be stitching up much quicker the second time around.

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Stitching!

Promise Me round 2

Hello again!  I have started my second Promise Me.  My plan right now to get this finished without losing my mind to bordom is to tell myself that every time I finish a line on this one I will do another 12 Days day.  I am not much for doing the same thing over more than once.  I also can't believe what a difference it is going from 40ct to 32ct!  32ct seems so huge now.   

I also finished another tatted bookmark.  I don't know if you all will remember the thread I dyed but this is it!  I am pretty pleased with the colors and can't wait to try some more combos.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stitching!

A Partridge In A Pear Tree and a little TUSAL

Hi!  I finished the first day!  Still in love with it :)

And November TUSAL is today.  I have been tatting some bookmarks for Christmas presents so lots of red, white and green orts in there, and since I had Christmas orts I thought my mug that I am using today fit in with that theme.  That is Micah all ready for Santa a few years ago.  She was not too impressed with me ha!

Today is Rememberance Day in Canada and I know it is a special day in other parts of the world also so I included these beautiful words written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!

Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields
