Shared via AddThis

I really do mean to post more often , but something always gets in the way or I forget and time flies by. I have a few finishes. The first is something I stitched in 2006 can you believe that all I had to do was put 1/2 of it together which I waited to do until today. I had a lot on my mind so thought I would do something to keep me busy and something that needed alot of attention. So here it is. I need more practice on finishing but doesnt look too bad

Judy O'dell "Work Station" Class Project










My progress on Country Cottage needlworks "Sweet Treats"





And a UFO I finished "A Rose in the Garden" by Country Cottage Needleworks

Today started off bad , Major Migraine got sick like 4 times and went right back to bed to sleep it off as best I could. Still feeling pretty sick, its been awhile since Ive had a migraine this bad. So I decided I was going to try and ignore the left overs from it and stitch on my Shepherds Bush "My Sister My Friend" I had started Saturday.

Its very late but i wanted to finish this chart by Helga Mandl. I think its pretty funny. Ive had these thoughts before...LOL






Lizzie Kate's "Daughters"

Well I havent stitched yet today but plan to as soon as I post this. I had a finish I think it was Friday or Saturday night , cant remember which that sometimers is acting up. Anyways. I wanted to post a picture of that and also of a new Market Limited Edition from Homespun Elegance that I cant wait to get. I had seen it on Stitches in Things , But I couldnt find it anywhere else on anyones site...I went back to stitches n things and it was gone. OMG so I called they were sold out OMG Again...LOL I thought it was so cute and needed it. So I thought I would call Attic Needlework in AZ to check to see if maybe she had gotten some from Market cause I had gotten a few other things from her. And Lo and Behold she has them woohoo so if you want one you better give her a jingle and order one http://www.atticneedlework.com Jean is really a nice lady

Homespun Elegances "Stash Keep" adorable tin with a pin cushion top



and my finish is something I have had in my stash for more then a few years but it was calling to me to finally stitch. This is OOP. I love this piece. Not the best pictures

Barrick Samplers "Acorns & Threads"
Stitched on 40ct over 2 with 1 Thread

Okay so I havent kept this up like I planned but I am stitching more so less time to blog I guess. I do mean well just never seem to get it done. And my life is pretty boring so dont want to put everyone to sleep.

This is Bent Creek's "Boo" from quite awhile ago its OOP & was a UFO


Hinziet Heart's


Mosey N Me's "Icky Spooky" another UFO


Britter Cup Designs


Some new Stash

Here is My Lovebird Freebie Finish (which can be found here on Midsummer Nights blog http://stitchingandscribbling.blogspot.com/2008/01/lovebird-freebie_103.html. I started it Thursday and finished it Tonight. I think he is pretty cute. I stitched it on 35ct Natural Permin using Crescent Colors Threads. Now on to my Quick Stitch Weekend project which at this moment I am not positive what I will stitch.

Well I had a bad year of stitching last year and hopefully this will be a much better year. What a slump I was in. But so far Ive gotten two things finished this year and actually they are in finished as in sewn and framed which is great. I love to stitch something and be able to finishing it into whatever is chosen for it be frame , pillow etc... I have so many wonderful things in my stash that I want to have stitched up.

So I am going to try to blog at least once a week and stitch of coarse everyday.

This is Heart In Hands Valentine Bird from a few years ago. But it was my Quick Stitch Weekend Project. Not sure what i will do next weekend. Probably Valentine's theme cause I love hearts and Valentine's is one of my favorite holidays cause I love the colors and hearts of coarse.

Well I finished this tonight. Keep your fingers crossed I am getting my stitching mojo back. Next is LK's Happy Haunting from the Fall Crazy leaflet. Ive got it all ready to go. Tomorrow I will try to finish the fob into a actual fob and will post a picture. It's finally raining here. We have been so dry this summer we needed the rain bad. I never thought I would be happy to see it rain. I am not fond of rain but now its like heaven.

I finally have a finish. Thought it would never happen. I finished this last weekend while I was in South Carolina visiting with my son and daughter and 2 of my grandkids. Hopefully I will have another finish by the end of this week. Not sure how i will finish this.



I have done alot of sewing since I last posted

A Long sleeve onesie



I made this Stitching Zipper bag for Petra




A few Lunch bags




A Few Personalized Sippy Cups





And some cute shirts and also a ton more travel chalkboard Mats

Well I have an order for a lunch bag for alittle girl using a certain fabric , so today I test drove this pattern I have for this lunch bag using Oilcloth which you can just wipe off. I think I will shorten the handle a bit , looks too long to me. I also will embroider the little girls name on it for her too.
You know using a reusable lunch bag saves the earth. I have a lunch bag to make and then a bib for someone else. Then hopefully I can get some stitching time in.

Well I guess its because I havent stitched muchh at all lately. I did get a piece for my sisters while I was there visiting bur I didnt get a picture of it I know bad me. I will have my sister take one and send it to me. I did HIH Sisters, turned out really nice.

Well I have been busy doing other things though. I am trying to get a home business going doing different Machine Embroidered Items made to sell. I just got done doing these Portable Chalkboard Mats done. I think they are pretty cool. And Ive been enjoying sewing. So I will post a few of the things Ive been doing.




I love the fabric for this one



This is a picture of a dog vest I did. It was for a contest using this embroider pattern that was given by the designer. Ignore the dog she doesnt like being woken up at 2am to take pictures and model for me.

Its been forever since I have blogged , well I have been busy busy. And during that time I just didnt get much stitching done. And since this is my stitching blog I didnt have much to blog about.

Now its supposed to be winter but I would like to know where winter is? I have wanted to turn my A/C on, on more then one day what is up with that?

Anyways nothing really new and exciting with me. I have another grandbaby due in May. So far the news is it is a boy.

Here are some of my finishes

This is Birds of A Feather's "Valentine Holiday" which is a OOP Chart.




This is Pine Mountain's Punch & Cookie for December




Pine Mountains "Merry Christmas"




Lizzie Kate's "Caring" Blessings Flip it




Trail Creek Farm's 2005 Ornament from Just Cross Stitch Ornament Issue

Well its been way too long since I have posted and I am really going to try to make a better effort to post at least once a day. There really isnt any reason for it. Even if its just to say "Hey". I feel like its been forever since I have had a finish. Although I dont think its been that long. I will have to check. I think I have a few finishes I didnt blog about. Will double check tomorrrow and then post what I might of missed.
So this is what I finished tonight...Little House Needleworks "Season of Plenty" I dont know why this seemed to take me forever to stitch cause it really shouldnt have. Seems I have been taken over by a turtle. LOL Anyways here it is...
