April's Small SAL

I found a little bit of stitching mojo to at least stitch my April Small SAL piece. 

This is a free chart from the Prairie Schooler.  I stitched it on 40ct black linen and used WDW floss.  It was a very fun, quick stitch.

Until Next Time

March Stitch from Stash

Hard to believe another month has gone by.  The good thing about this month though, it is finally SPRING!  Yea!

Here are this months figures:

  Month:  March

  Start:  $51.74

  Spent:  $27.73

  Earned:  $6.00

  Carryover:  $30.01

I was able to get a little stitching done this month.  These were all free charts that I had in my stash.  I was organizing my free charts and came across these three little beauties, so had to stitch them up for Spring.  I do know the little chick that says Peep is a free chart from The Prairie Schooler, but the other two I am not sure about.  Sorry.

I did purchase a chart from Stacy Nash that I had been eyeing.  I got Thistle & Spells Pinkeep with fabric and threads. Someday I will get it stitched.

Time to get some homeschooling done.

Until Next Time

Winner & A Finsh from ISHW Weekend

Good Evening all!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  Ours was really good.  Got alot of things done and also got in alot of stitching.

First the winner from my giveaway in a previous post.  It is for the chart Glory House and leftover threads from Cheesie & Me.  Drumroll please................................................the winner is Patty C.  I put the numbers into the random generator and it picked #1.  Congratulations Patty!  I just sent you an email.

This past weekend was ISHW and instead of stitching on something already started, I just had to stitch up the new free chart from Prairie Schooler.  I love Halloween and this was just to cool not to stitch up.  I stitched it on a piece of 40ct. linen from my stash and used the recommended floss.  I love stitching Prairie Schooler Designs.  I did start her new one, Knock, Knock and I will share progress of it on my next post.

Bunnies

Hello all!  Are you having a beautiful day where you are?  It is beautiful here.  The sun is shine, it is 58 degrees and of course, we have the wind.  I just wish the wind would go away for awhile.

What have I been doing on this beautiful day?  I should be in my craft room , trying to organize it, but I decided instead I wanted to stitch.  Since it feels like Spring, I stitched up a Spring piece.

This design is by Prairie Schooler and from her new Bunnies leaflet.  It is such a fun, fast stitch.  I used 35ct. Onyx from WDW and the recommended DMC threads, stitching 1 over 2.  My next start is going to be another of the little bunnies from the same leaflet.  They are so much fun to stitch.

What is everyone else up to this weekend?  I hope you are getting lots of stitching in.  Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead 1 hour tonight if you need to.  My DH hates this time of year.  He hates to lose the hour of sleep.

Until Next Time

Praire Schooler & Shepherds Bush Private Exchanges

Hi,

I was organizing my stash and finally got my Praire Schooler and Shepherds Bush charts.  These are my 2 favorite designers and I would love to do a private exchange with my blogger friends. 

What do you think?  Would you like to do a private exchange with me?  You can choose either Prairie Schooler or Shepherds Bush.  It can be finished any way that you would like.  I am thinking the mailing date would be June 30th, to give us time to pick out the chart, stitch it and finish it off.

If you are interested, please leave me a commen by April 16th.  if there is more than one person, I will put the names in a bowl and choose one.  I would love to pick someone to do the Prairie Schooler and one person to do the Shepherd's Bush one with. 

Until Next Time

Finishes, an Exchange and my daughter/PICTURE HEAVY

Hi,

It's been awhile since I have shared any stitching finishes, so I decided I need to get my butt in gear and do that.  These pieces were so much fun to stitch.  I am hoping to get back into stitching more now that I am finally getting over my sinus infection that I had.  The mediciation the Dr. gave me really is doing its job.  Take a look at my stitches and let me know what you think.

F&S Round 17 from Jennifer.  She did a beautiful job and she picked a chart that I had in my freebie pile to stitch, but did it for me.  I am going to use her suggestion and finish it into a biscornu.  Thank you so much Jennifer.  You did an awesome job!

Last, but definatly not least, here is a picture of my daughter Talia.  She will be 4 in less than 2 months.  It is so hard to believe that she will be 4.  Where has the time gone.  I took this of her this morning before we left for preschool.  She love going to school and is sad she only goes 3 days a week.  Thankfully she will be going 4 days a week next year as she loves it so much.  I would love to share a picture of my son, but he is being camera shy.  Don't know why.  I guess that's what a 5 year old does.  I will get one of him soon and post it for all to see.

That is all for now.

Praire Schooler Finshes

Hi again.  I am in huge Prairie Schooler kick right now.  I have finished stitching tow more of her little free charts and here they are.  They are both stitched on 28ct Lambswool using DMC threads.  I have started another one of her free chart. They are so much fun to stitch.  I have also been stitching on something else, but I can't show any pictures yet as they are models for CindyMae's Stitching. When the chart has been released I will post the models then.

Until Next Time

More Halloween Stitching

Hey,

Here are a couple of more Halloween finishes. I know the picture is not the best, but I really wanted to get this posted before I had to put the kiddos to bed.

These are both from The Prairie Schooler and from her new leaflet Boo to You. They are so much fun to stitch. I am stitching on my 5th right now and then only 3 more to go. When I am all done stitching them, I am going to make them into ornaments and attach them to a wreath. I can't wait to finish them up.

Until next time
Happy Stitching
