Worked On KK's Max in the Zinnias this Week!

I put in 294 stitches so far!  Had a hectic week of moving my daughter to CT.  Hopefully I will have more time to stitch this week.  Here is a photo of the piece and what I have done so far.

Happy Stitching Everyone!

G for Goose

G for goose is done, this took me a week and a 1/2, getting them done pretty quickly.


DMC : White, 742, 3781, 3740 & 4090

Next up is H for House and then I for Ice Cream.

Worked On Cocker Spanials Watching Birds This Week!

I managed to put in quite a few stitches in this pattern.  I started this one Jan. 2006!  Here is two photos, 1 when I stopped and one as of now.


Happy Stitching Everyone : )

My progess for the last 2 weeks

I have put in 2 weeks on The Astronomer & I think I have made some good progress. I did 926 stitches. It doesn't sound like alot but it was all confetti stitching. I confess I had one day out of the 2 weeks that I did not get 1 stitch in. Just too tired.


Now I have a confession to make. Chocolate, Chocolate & More Chocolate was supposed to have a turn next but I could not resist starting another one. I have now added Afternoon Tea to my rotation.


What can I say. I'm addicted to these little dragons.
On a non stitching note the weather here has been better. No snow & not much rain for the last 2 weeks.Maybe spring has finally come to New England.
Okay now time to go stitch somemore.
Have a great day

Here a stitch, there a stitch...


Due to having company lately, my stitching time has been really limited, but I have been trying to put in a stitch "here and there".  This is my start on Battle Hymn of the Republic by Little House Needleworks.  Our guest bath has a red, white and blue theme, so I look forward to (eventually) hanging this piece in there.

This may not be a "fast" finish but I'm having fun with the process and that's what counts - right?

Hugs,
Sharon

On a roll


Got the F done in a little over a week. Really good for me, but once I get started I don't want to stop.

F is for Flower

Carrie's Creations: Fairy Dust
Threadworx: 11611
DMC : 435, 437, 712, 720, 721 & 739


Changed the flower a little, it was charted in peachy colors, didn't have the floss called for and didn't want to go buy any so changed it to more rusty colors that I had. Like the darker flower to offset the pretty purple in the F itself.
Very pleased with this.
