Creepy!!

Hey All!  I hope everyone is having a great week and getting lots of stitching done.  It has been a good week for me, but I really miss the kiddos.  Though they are having a great time with their grandma, grandpa, aunts and uncles. 

I did want to share my latest finish. I was so excited to finish it that I didn't even bother to iron it, so I am sorry in advance for the wrinkles.  Below is Creepy Pincushion from Shepherd's Bush. It comes as a complete kit, but since I have only been stitching on 40ct. linen lately, I stitched it on 40ct. Morning Dew from Silkweavers and used the floss that was included.  It was a very pleasurable stitch, but took a little longer than I thought to stitch up.  I am going to be sending it off to finisher tomorrow and let her work her wonderul magic on it.

Before I go stitch more, I want to remind you of my giveaway on the post below.  It is for the pattern Glory House from Cheesie & Me.  The giveaway is open until Monday, June 18th.

Until Next Time 

Happy Stitching

Glory & A Giveaway

Hello All!  I hope everyone is having a great summer so far.  It has been great here.  The kiddos and I have been busy playing, swimming, and reading.  Though the next 11 days are going to be quiet and dull.  The kiddos left this morning to spend the next 11 days with grandma and grandpa.  It is so weird having a quiet house.  I keep looking around for the kids and wondering what they are up to since it is so quiet.  


Since the kiddos are off having fun with the grandparents, I am going to try and gets lots of stitching done and also get a couple of projects done around the house.  The first house project is going to be thinning out the kiddos toys.  They have way to many and they only play with the same couple of toys all the time.


I just put the last stitches into this piece.  This is a kit from Cheesie & Me called Glory House.  It was such a pleasure to stitch. I love the couple of speciality stitches it included.  It is stitched on 36ct. Vintage Pearl Barley linen and used Belle Soie Silk Floss.  The floss was a dream to stitch with.

I loved stitching this piece so much, that I want to share it with someone else.  I will send the pattern and the leftover floss to the winner. (There is not enough floss to stitch it again, but you can at least see what the colors are so you can choose your own)


If you would like a chance, please leave a comment on this post only and let me know what is or was your favorite piece you stitched and why it was your favorite.


I will choose a winner on Monday, June 18th, 2012.  Good Luck to all
