Catching up!

It is been awhile, but I do have some pictures :)

First up: framed Take Me Out to the Ballgame. This will be in hubby's office whenever he puts it up. There is a bit of a glare on the glass.

Second: framed When Witches Go Riding. I already have this one hanging in the kitchen. I put it up at the beginning of September :) Ellie's tale also made an appearance.

Third: I finished Sunflowers in Summer by Country Cottage Needleworks at the beginning of September.

Last: My new start. Luna by Nora Corbett. She is on 28 ct woodland violet jobelan. My niece picked out this pattern when we stopped at The Stitching Bee in Wisconsin. It is going to be a Christmas present for their family.

Thanks for stopping by!

August IHSW

I am a little late in posting, but I worked on Sunflowers in Summer by Country Cottage Needleworks for IHSW. It is a cute summer pattern :)

We discovered DogTV, and I have been playing that for Mandy while I cross stitch. It has relaxing music, and I am not distracted by the TV since the show is for dogs. If you have dogs, I recommend giving DogTV a try.

After I finish this pattern, my plan is to work on Lady Hera. That is my plan...but I might have to start one of the new Nora Corbett witches :) Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Finish

I finished When Witches Go Riding by Prairie Schooler....probably over a month ago now :) I have been quite busy and have not had time to post an update. I dropped this one off at the framer last week, and I can't wait to see what it looks like framed.

Two weeks ago, I visited family in Wisconsin. I stopped by The Stitching Bee in Green Bay, WI and picked up two new patterns and some floss. The ladies there were quite nice, and I recommend stopping by if you are ever in Wisconsin.

I have been slowly stitching the peacock in Lady Hera. The peacock is huge! I will try to get an update of her sooner rather than later.

Thanks for stopping by!

A finish

I finished Fresh Watermelon by Little House Needleworks. It took me a bit to even get a picture of it, and it has taken me even longer to actually write a blog post. Between work, my dogs, and gardening, I do not have much free time. On the plus side, I have lots of little cucumbers that will be ready to pick :)

This one was a cute, summery, finish. I like the beads that were used to make the ants :)

Last night I finished When Witches Go Riding by Prairie Schooler. Hopefully I will get my blog updated sometime next week with pictures of that one. I also picked Lady Hera back up! I am working on the peacock. She will be my next finish. Well, that is my goal anyway :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Moyland Castle Update

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I finally worked on Moyland Castle. Yay! And I made some decent progress. I put off filling in some of the border on the top left corner. It has a lot of 3/4 stitches, and they are such a pain. So, I am saving that part for later.

Right now I am working on Fresh Watermelon, and I hope to have it finished off this week. After that, my plan is to finish When Witches Go Riding. I am trying to clear out some of my works in progress. Hopefully they will go quickly, so I can start Gigi by Nora Corbett. I love Halloween, and I was quite excited when I found out that she is releasing six witches :)

Thanks for stopping by!

A finish!

I finished Take me out to the Ballgame by Little House Needleworks this weekend. Yay! I started it two years ago, so I am glad it is done. It will be a birthday present for hubby who loves baseball :)

I started Fresh Watermelon also by Little House Needleworks because I wanted a small pattern to take with me when we go up to Boston to visit our friends later this month. In the meantime, I am going to continue working on Moyland Castle and Lady Hera, both of which I have not touched in ages! Below, you can see where I left off on each of them.

Thanks for stopping by!
