Where did I go?

Hello out there!  Anyone still around?  Sorry I have been gone for so long.  The end of summer got crazy with a birthday and vacation. Then the new school year started and things became even more hectic.  I am now a Daisy leader for my daughter's daisy troop and also chairperson for our school's largest committee, so both of these things have been taking up alot of my time, along with the fact that I lost my stitching mojo for a little while.

I am very happy to say though that my stitching mojo is back and stronger than ever it seems.  So much to stitch and so little time.  Below I am sharing what I have stitched up in the pass 1 week.

Designer:  Bent Creek

Pattern:  Pumpkin + White

Fabric:  32ct French Lilac from Picture this Plus

Threads:  GAST Burnt Orange and Oatmeal

Started:  September 30th, 2012

Designer:  Blackbird Designs

Booklet:  Tis Halloween

Fabric:  Scraps from my stash

Threads:  recommended threads

Started:  September 23rd, 2012

Finished:  September 30rd, 2012

I also received a wonderful exchange, but will save that for the next post.  I am off to paint clothespins for a Halloween party for my son's room.  I want to get everything ready early so I am not scrambling at the last minute.

Until Next Time

Happy Stitching

I'm Back

Hello out there!  I am so happy to be back to blogging.  The past month has been extremely busy.  We had a birthday, soccer practice and games, dance classes, end of school and many other activities.  I am happy to say, school is finally out, soccer is done for now, dance recital is on Sunday and then we are done with that and we are now getting ready for the kiddos to go and spend some time with their grandma and grandpa and I am busily planning what I hope to accomplish while they are gone and one of the things on the list is lots of stitching.

I have been stitching, but just not as much as I would like.  I do have a couple of finishes to share though.

 This is Wave from Bent Creek.  I stitched it on some 40ct fabric in my stash and used the recommened GAST and WDW thread.  It was a fun little stitch and put me in a Patriotic mood, so I had to stitch up the piece below next.

Here is Patriotic Bouquet from Blackbird Designs.  It can be found in their Souvenirs of Summer Book.  Again I used a 40ct. piece of linen I had in my stash and the recommended GAST and WDW threads.  It was such a pleasure to stitch.

I have decided my next start, (which will be this afternoon) is Glory House from Cheesie & Me.  It is a limited edition kit that came out at market.  I have seen it stitched up many times on other blogs and now I really want to stitch it up for myself.

What is everyone else stitching on at the moment?  I love to see what everyone else is stitching on to.  Please share with me what you are doing.

Have to run!  Going outside for a little while with the kiddos.  They are going to play and I am going to weed my 2 small garden boxes.

Until Next Time

Happy Stitching
