December TUSAL

Hi everybody!  It is TUSAL time again.

This is the last TUSAL of the year!!  Where did 2015 go?

I really enjoyed participating in the TUSAL and a big thank you to Daffycat for hosting.  I hope to be able to participate again next year.  

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Stitching!

Pitbulls

Hello stitchers!

I am working on Pitbulls by Flumpkins X Stitch.  Here is where I am at

We had our stitching guild Christmas party last night and it was so much fun, great food, great company, lots of laughs.  I couldn't have chosen a better group of people!  It is going to be hard waiting until January for our Tuesday night stitching to start up again!

I hope you all are having a lovely Wednesday!

Happy stitching!

4 Calling Birds

Hello stitchy people!

Another day done, this is the third of the way mark!

Happy Stitching!

String stars

Hello friends!

Today I was making some ornaments.  I am not going to call them Christmas ornaments because I think I will find a use for them all year around.  

This is the video that shows how to make them.  It is not in english but will give you an idea.

And here is mine. 

These are the rest.  They were a little finicky but I think they look great hanging on my garland. I also think they would be really cute attached to the gift tag on a present. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Temari Tuesday #6... I think

 Hello stitchy people!!

We made another Temari Ball at stitching group last night.  I am going to have a hard time giving this one away!

Isn't he cute!!

Since I finished Promise Me I started on the fourth day of 12 Days of Christmas.

I couldn't leave this muchkin out since the other one is in the picture above.  Isn't he just as cute as the other one!!

And our book advent calendar is under way.  I am not much for giving my kids chocolate first thing in the morning like I was given as a child.  (I wonder what things I do now with my boys that I think is ok that they will think is crazy when they have kids.)  Plus the chocolate in those advent calendars is nasty!!  So instead I have 24 Christmas books that I wrap up every year and we open 1 a day until Christmas.

You will notice in this picture that Day 2 book is not at the top of the pile.  Nobody knew where it was, Brayden especially said he really didn't know until Daddy-O said "are you sure you didn't put it in your room"  Yep, there is was between his mattress and the fitted sheet, for safe keeping I guess.  Last place I would have ever looked.  Little stinker!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stitching!!

Finish #8

Promise Me by Lizzie Kate

Started November 12, 2015

Finished December 2, 2015

Fabric : 32ct Light Sand Belfast

Fibers : The Gentle Art and Weeks Dye Works

And I took a picture of the 2 of them together so you all would believe me when I said I stitched them twice.  ;)

12 Days framework is done!

Hello stitchy friends!!

I managed today to finish all the borders on 12 Days of Christmas.

No more counting!!

Praise the heavens!!

  I am really hoping to get Day 4 finished this weekend.  Wish me luck!

Happy Stitching!

P.S. I read somewhere today that if you polish some toothpaste (the paste kind not the gel kind) into the lens of your camera it will take the scratches out.  Well I tried it and I think that the middle of my picture looks less foggy.  Perhaps this is a poor picture to decide if it did work but hopefully there will be no more foggy pictures!
