Started - 3-27-14
Finished 4-8-14

I put American Flag Quilt Sampler await for a while and pulled We Three Kings out. Really need to get work done on this piece. 

The middle king is done except for backstitching and beads, the left side king is just about done with the cross stitching part, just have the head and crown  then it will be on to the third and final king. We will see how long I work on it. This material is very hard to work with, slow going!

Well I have some errands to run this morning, and hopefully this afternoon will be filled with stitching.

I will be back Monday with an update on We Three Kings. 

Happy Stitching

Good Morning Everyone!

I think spring has finally come to South Dakota! YA!

Yesterday was beautiful, we spent another day at the shop with some of the family. They were on a mission to find as much mud as they could with there 4 wheelers and they succeeded. Then of course we grilled out and filled everyone's belly.

 

Well here is my update for the past week. I have added a little over 1300 stitches to this piece. I wish I had more time,( dividing my time between all my other hobbies is the problem) I feel I should have had this piece done it is such a easy stitch. But any way here is where I am as of this morning.

 

Hope to have this one completed in the next couple of days

 

Well I am off to start my spring cleaning. The entryway (aka mudroom, Laundry room and dogs bedroom) is on the agenda today. Then I give myself permission to sit and stitch this afternoon!

 

Hope everyone has a great week

Happy Stitching

New Start and a Beautiful Weekend

Good Morning Everyone!

What a Beautiful weekend we had! We grilled some meat and potatoes and sat out side and enjoyed the sunshine. Today is going to be another story. It is suppose to be around 60 degrees by noon but go down hill from there and by 7-8 this evening it should be around in the 30's and a blizzard warning is in the forecast. In our area they say we could get 1-4 inches of snow.

Ok back to our beautiful weekend. Here are a few pictures that I took, as you can see my focus is my granddaughter,( imagine that).

 

She loves her bunny ears!

Taking a walk down to the shop to see grandpa.

Aunt Heidi and Sharlee had just gotten back from a ride on the 4wheeler

 

These next pictures are of Sharlee helping grandpa sweep the shop.

notice her outfit - she dressed herself and we didn't argue.

 

Now for my stitching, I decided to start something new.

I thought if I stitched something spring it would help with the weather outside, but not so much.

I am using the called for fabric of 28 ct Lambswool Linen and the called for threads. I have had this project kitted up for some time. It is an easy stitch, so I should have it done this week. Here is what the finish will look like.

 

 

Well that is about it for this morning. I have a few things to get done then off to town to drop my income taxes of at the accountants - nothing like waiting to the last minute to get them in. I am hoping to get back home before the snow hit.

 

Enjoy your week!

Happy Stitching!
