Once Upon A Time

I started the Once Upon A Time sampler from The Frosted Pumpkin and I love stitching on the sparkly fabric!  It doesn't really look like much yet but that is baby bear and his porridge.  Cute!  And I just found out today that they are starting a new Halloween Town Mystery Sampler!  I don't know if I can say no to that.  

Pictures

I finished my letter K.  All the info on what it is for is in the last post.  I am heading out to the post office once the baby wakes up.  I got the pattern for my K here.  

 And here is 6(Fat)Men all finished!

Now what to do next?  

No time for pictures

I finished 6 (Fat) Men but I don't have time for a picture right now.  I just heard this evening about and exhibition at the Parc de Wesserling for the past, present and future of DMC.  Go here to read about it, and I am off to stitch a K.  I hope to have some pictures tomorrow.  

Fabric Has Arrived

Can you see the sparkles? It has sparkly thread woven into it!  I really have the push on now to finish the last block of 6 (Fat) Men.  

This fabric is 28ct Crystal Doubloon Cashel from Picture This Plus, and it is for the Once Upon A Time sampler from The Frosted Pumpkin.  I am 4 months behind and I hope I can catch up. 

Here is the progress on 6 (Fat) Men.  I am going to a retreat on May 2nd and 3rd so I hope to have this finished before then so I can start on Once Upon A Time.

Spring breezes

What a beautiful day we had today!  I have the windows open and the boys have shorts on.  Here is Thomas with his shorts.  

I went to town the other day and picked up 4 of these buckets at the Dollar Store for the boys rooms.  I seen somewhere that a mom had used hanging buckets in her kids room to hold headbands and little things but when I seen these I thought that they would be big enough to hold socks and underwear.  So for now in Thomas's room they just hold socks, but hopefully in the not too distant future they will hold some underwear too.  

Here is a little progress on 6 (Fat) Men.  I only have this block and one more to go!

Another Snow Man Done!

Only 2 more to go!
