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

ISHW

Hi All!  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  It was very nice here, except for the cool weather.  Where is the warm weather?  I am ready for warmth.

This was ISHW, but I didn't get as much stitching done as I would of liked.  I was to busy organizing my craft area and cleaning out our storage are in our basement.  Hopefully next ISHW I will get more stitching time.

Here is where I was before the start of ISHW.  Plum Street Samplers Halloween Greetings from the JCS 2010 Annual Halloween Magazine.  I am stitching it on 36ct. vintage sand dune edinburgh linen from Lakeside Linens.  I am using Crescent Colours and DMC floss.

Here is where I am after ISHW.  As you can see I finished up the second sheep, added the wording, finished the fencing at the bottom and started on the third sheep.  It is hard to tell, but the third sheep is stitched with Crescent Colours Garden Trellis.  I am really loving this piece.  I had hoped to finish it up this weekend, but it was not to be, here is hoping I can finish it up tonight or tomorrow at the latest. 

Hope everyone got lots of stitching done this last weekend and will have a very productive week.  I have lots to do and not enough time to do it.  I need a fairy godmother to come and help me!  I better get off this computer and go get some stuff done.

Until Next Time

Happy Stitching

Another New Start

Hello all!  I hope everyone is doing well.  All of us are doing great.  Spring is in the air and the kids are counting down to the end of school.  It is hard to believe school will be out in just over 7 weeks.


We are busy getting ready for Talia's birthday.  She will be 6 two weeks from tomorrow.  Where has the time gone?  It seems just like yesterday I was coming home with a new baby.  She is excited as we are having a party with her school friends.  Everyday she asks if any of her friends parents have called to say they are coming.  It is so cute to watch her excitement when I tell her another friend is coming.  


Sorry about the rambling, but just wanted to share the excitement going on here.


As you can tell from the title, I am having a case of Startitis.  I am loving Prim Sisters School of Needlwork, but a Halloween piece was calling me, so I decided to start Halloween Greetings from Plum Street Samplers.  I am stitching it on 36ct. Vintage Sand Dune Edinburgh from Lakeside Linens and using the recommended Crescent Colours floss.  I started last night and made great progress.  It is stitching up faster than I thought, so I am hoping to have it stitched up by the weekend.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments.  I greatly appreciate them and it keeps me blogging.  


Until Next Time
