Stitchy Stuff

Well here it is the end of November and I FINALLY have some stitchy pictures to show. This first one is The Prairie Schooler "Must Be Santa" Limited Edition piece. This is about 1 and 1/2 months of work on it. I'm a really slow stitcher. And I don't work on this piece everyday otherwise the colors would drive me batty.




The above picture is BBD Pinkeep and Keepsake box. I'm doing the Keepsake Box portion of the leaflet. This will be framed and put in our bedroom as it's in desperate need of decorating. This is about 2 months worth of stitching. Again, I'm a slow stitcher and I don't stitch everyday or on this project everyday for that matter.

This is a piece I stitched a couple of years ago and FINALLY got it put together into an ornament. Now, if you're asking if I put it together this ornament, sadly the answer is NO. I had someone finish this for me. I totally suck at the sewing maching and couldn't do this if my life depended on it.

Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving, we did. Low key and just the 5 of us, which is fine by me. Now on to Christmas but not before St. Nick in our house. The kids cannot wait until St. Nick's night when I fill the stockings with a little something and some candy. The candy is usually breakfast for them, but, hopefully it will not be breakfast this year (yeah right.LOL) Hopefully I'll have a finish soon for me to share but I'm not holding my breath.

Happy Holidays

FINALLY A PICTURE!!

This is my progress picture of LHN's Peach Tree Cottage. It's about 2 months worth of stitching, I know, not much but it's something if you ask me. I have so many WIP"S to finish, I should really take a break from this and try to finish one of many WIP's. Nah, I wanna start something new, SOOOOOO I decided to start this:

It's Blackbird Designs Keepsake Box and Pinkeep, Loose Feathers pattern #33. I'm doing the Keepsake box and will frame the stitching instead of making into a box. This is for our bedroom walls. Still not much on the walls even though we've been in the house 6 years. Geeze, I better get going on that. And I got the Just Cross Stitch Ornament Issue to page through, so I'M SURE there will be something in it for me to work on.

Anything else going on here?? Well, the kids finished 8 days of school (2 4-day weeks) and they are tired in the morning and when they get home. My little one, Sam, is mad that people aren't always available to play after-school. Chris is still working and working 5 days a week instead of the 4 that was in place at the beginning of the summer before he went on furlough. Quiet days for me to catch up on stitching, blogs, emails and of course, the never ending battle with laundry and housework.

I hope you enjoy the pictures of my stitching and I apologize for the one picture that is sideways, I couldn't figure out how to fix that. Something my daughter will have to teach me. Love her. :)

Gotta run and get after school snacks ready for always hungry 12 year old. Have a good weekend and thanks for coming to my blog!!
