May's SFS

Hello all!  I can't believe summer is almost here.  Our homeschool is winding down for a little while and my stitching mojo has returned, as you will see in this post.  It feels good to be stitching a bunch again.  It is such a great way to relieve the stress and frustration from the day.  Without further ramblings, here we go.

Month reporting:  May

Start:  $28.84

Earned:  $12.00

Spent:  $11.36 on fabric and threads

Carryover: $29.48

The above piece is from The Prairie Schooler.  I used a piece of fabric from my stash and GAST Black Crow.

Another little piece above from The Prairie Schooler.  I love her Halloween designs and couldn't pass it up.

This little sideway pumpkin tree is a free chart from Primitive Betty's.  It is so prim and Halloween, I just couldn't pass it up. I used the DMC she suggested.

This is one on 36ct, black fabric is a free chart from The Prairie Schooler.  It screamed Summer, which is just the mood I am in.

This last sideways piece is a start of s free chart from Lori of Notforgotten Farms.  If you are a member of the Facebook group Prim Stitcher Society, you will find this one.

That's all for now. Have to finish up supper.

Happy Stitching

January 2015 Stitch from Stash

Nothing like getting down to the wire for my Janaury report, but at least I am on time.

  Month:  January

  Spent:  15.26 for floss and a Blackbird Designs Chart

  Earned:  $6.00

  Carry Over:  15.74

Above is the stitching I have done.  The upper left Pumpkin Guy is by Notforgitten Farms, to the right of him is he start of a free snowman chart from Erynne Chard. I have had him in my pile for awhile and decided it was time to start him.  The witch in the lower left is by The Prarie Schooler and from her leaflet A Prairie Year II.  Last but not least, a little valentine stitch from Sub Rosa's blog.

That is it for now.  I look forward to checking out the other's blog.

Until next time,

Happy Stitching

Happy Summer!  I hope everyone is having a great summer and getting lots of stitching in.

I am happy to say, I have been stitching. My stitching mojo finally returned, so I put it to good use as you can see below.

Notforgotten Farms free chart from her blog.  I used a combination of DMC and GAST threads.

School for Little Witches by the Little Stitcher.  35ct fabric and a combo of DMC and GAST threads.

The piece on the left is by Shelly Austen, called Jack in the Boot.  I love the play on words on this piece.  The one on the left is Sew Paris from IStitch.  I  couldn't pass finally stitching one up as I love all things to do with Paris.

My purchases for the month are as follows.  The Primitive Hare Early Witches Mystery Halloween SAL for $15.90.  You can see my small start of it on the right.  The other purchase was Notforgotten Farms Hallowe'en Queen with fabric and DMC for $27.81.

All in all it was a great month. I am just hoping I can keep up the mojo and do the same for July.

Until Next Time

She is finished!  I finished her up last weekend, but didn't have time to post, as I have been doing the finishing touches on getting ready for the start of our homeschool year.

Here she is.  I converted the floss to GAST, WDW and CC.  The fabric is a scrap from my stash.  She was so much fun to stitch, that I was actually kind of sad when I put in the final stitch.  

The designer is Notforgotten Farms and can be found in the 2013 special Halloween issue.

I am stitching a little piece now from Plum Street Samplers Stranded Jacks chart.

I will be back in a couple of days with an update and some wonderful pictures of finishes that Faye has done for me.

Until Next Time

Happy Stitching
