IHSW Weekend

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We did, even though it was pretty cold.

Since it was so cold, I got lots of stitching done. I started and finished a small piece from The Sampler Girl. Below you will see Winter Wind. I used a piece of scrap 40ct fabric and CC and GAST. It was a fun piece to stitch.

The kids don't have school today because if Martin Luther King Dat so we are off to clean the playroom. I hope everyone gets lots of stitching in this week.

Until Next Time

ISHW Progress

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  We had a great one.  Saturday afternoon we had a birthday party to go to.  They had a bouncer, small pool and slip n slide for the kids and lots of beverages for the adults.  It was a great time to hang with friends we don't get to see often and catch up.

This pass weekend was ISHW and though we had a party, I was able to get a lot of stitching done.   It was a weekend where I just couldn't settle on one piece to stitch on, I had to stitch on multiply pieces. The top left corner is the start of the Halloween Stocking from La D Da.  It can be found in the new JCS Halloween Issue.  It is such a fun piece to stitch and I love the fabric from Needleworker's Delight that I am using.

The top right is the start of Plum Street Samplers Yuletide.  The beautiful ornament can be found in the JCS 2011 Christmas Ornament Magazine.

The Bottom piece is the finished piece of A Pumpkin of my Own by The Sampler Girl.  It can also be found in the 2012 JCS Halloween Issue.  I think this one is going to go to Faye for her to work her finishing magic on.  

What did you stitch on this pass weekend?  Did you got a lot done?  I have a busy week ahead.  Lots to do around the house, plus I am chairperson of one of the school's committee, and I have to get ready for our Preview Night and in between there also get ready for Liam's Birthday Party and also for vacation.  So much to do and so little time to do it!

Until Next Time

Mr. Blue Monster & a New Start

Hey All!  I hope everyone is doing well.  We are doing great here.  Been a very busy summer and the time has been flying by.

I received the JCS Halloween Issue last week and there are a bunch I want to stitch. (If you love Halloween, I would definately recommend this magazine for you)  My daughter was looking at it with me and fell in love with the piece from Mosey N Me, so I decided to stitch it up for her.  I love the colors.  Mosey n Me always has great monster pieces and their choice of colors is wonderful.  Now I am going to have to find the perfect fabric for finishing it into a hanging pillow.

Designer: Mosey N Me

Design:  Mr. Blue Monster from JCS 2012 Halloween Issue

Fabric:  32ct. Chime from Picture this Plus

Fibers:  DMC  Stitched with 1 strand of floss over 2

Started:  July 12, 2012

Finished:  July 15, 2012

Since I finished stitching up Mr. Blue Monster, I started another piece from the same magazine.   The piece is stitching up rather fast.  The colors look so primitive and so Halloween.   You can never go wrong with a pattern from The Sampler Girl.

That's about all in my neck of the woods for now.  Just trying to keep cool and enjoy the summer.

I hope everyone is keeping cool and getting lots of stitching done

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.

Until Next Time

Quick Update/Picture Heavy

Hey,

Just a quick upate!  Haven't been able to blog much.  My 5 year old has started reading so we have been doing alot of that.  My 3 year old loves preschool and she now wants to play school at home, so I have been doing that with her.  It is just amazing how much they are learning and how fast they are learning it.

Here is what I have managed to stitch up since my last post.
