April Wrap Up/May Goals

Hi!  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  Ours was good.  Saturday our son had a soccer game, and of course, it was cold and windy.  My daughter and I had to go to the car before it was over as it is so cold and she was shivering up a storm.  We then spent the rest of Saturday getting our basement organized and put together.  It is great having a finished basement now and was a great time to purge all the junk we didn't need.


Yesterday, we had a quick trip down to DH's aunt and uncle's house for his cousin's 40th birthday.  All I can say, is we spent alot of time in the car yesterday (3 hours down there, 3 hours home) and I didn't get much done.  


This week brings daughter's birthday on Thursday, her birthday party on Saturday and family visiting on Sunday for her birthday.  I am excited to do this for our daughter, but I will be glad when the week is over with to.

 Here is my April WrapUp:
 1.  Stitch a Christmas Ornament--Stitched up Christmas Joy Free Chart from Pineberry Lane
  2.  Stitch a Halloween Ornament--Stitched Fancy Blackett & the Butter Churn from Pineberry Lane
  3.  Start and stitch 10 hours on Autumn on Marigold Lane from Pineberry Lane--Started, only got about 3.5 hours done on it.
  4.  Stitch Prim Sisters School of Needlework by Pineberry Lane-Started, but decided to start Autumn on Marigold Lane instead.
  5.  Stitch 5 hours on a WIP piece of my choice--None, NaDa


May Goals:
1.  Stitch a Christmas Ornament
2.  Stitch a Halloween Ornament
3.  Finish up Autumn on Marigold Lane
4.  Stitch and finish piece for an exchange
5.  Stitch Shepherd's Bush Sweet Stitches Fob
6.  Stitch Blackbird Designs Rose Sachet


Here is what I have stitched so far on Autumn on Marigold Lane.  I haven't had alot of time to stitch on it, but hopefully starting next Monday, that will change and it will get done.

Thank you for sticking with me for this long.

Welcome to my new followers, I am so happy to have you here.

Until Next Time

Happy Stitching

Happy Dance

Hi!  I hope everyone is having a wonderful Wednesday.  It is really good here.  Overcast and in the 60s and had a wonderful morning volunteering at school.  Wednesday is off to a great start.


I would like to welcome my new followers.  I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures and I do really love your comments.


I do have a Happy Dance to share.  Halloween Greetings from Plum Street Sampler is done.  I really did enough stitching it up.  It is stitched on 36ct. vintage sand dune edinburgh from Lakeside Linens and I used Crescent Colours and DMC floss.  This piece will be off to the finishers in a couple weeks, along with the next piece I am going to share.

Since Halloween Greeting was done, I decided to start another new piece.  This one has been calling to me and then I saw Faye's finish(Faye at Carolina Stitcher) finish.  Her finish is gorgeous and so it started calling my name and I put the first stitches in last night.  This is Autumn on Marigold Lane from Pineberry lane.  I am stitching one over 2 on 35ct. 18th Century Stone from R&R.  I am using the recommended GAST.  This one will also be off to the finisher when I am done stitching.  I am really enjoying every stitch.

I am off to have lunch and then hopefully get in an hour or two of stitching on Marigold Lane.  


Until Next Time
Happy Stitching
