One more WIP is finished!!!!

Good afternoon everyone! 

Oh this is perfect weather we are having! I wish it was like this year round.

This morning before I left for the dentist I finished Beneath The Sunlit Sky. This was purchased in 2007 from a small shop that closed up many moons ago. I remember she had one on display and that is what caught my eye.

Beneath the Sunlit Sky

by Blackbird Design

I am not sure what the fabric is but I am going to guess it the called for 28 ct Sea Fog by R&R Reproductions

and I used the called for GA floss

Started sometime in 2007

Finished 9/23/2013

Well there you go - 3 finishes in one months time and I still have a week to go.

Not sure what I will work on next. I am thinking about doing a fall freebie that I found on pinterest or I might work on We Three Kings. I will see what I feel like this evening.

The second weekend in October my oldest daughter, niece and I will be going to Lake Shetek for a stitching retreat with about 35 other ladies. It will be fun to spend time together with everyone.

Well that's about all for today

Happy Stitching

A small Christmas finish

Good Morning Everyone!

We just had a thunderstorm roll though, lasted about 10 minutes and we got an inch of rain and stuff blown all over the place. Some places got hail but we miss it! Thank goodness!!!!

Last week I was thinking about Christmas ornaments and realize I had not stitched any for a long time. So I grabbed my new Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament 2013 and found 8 ornaments that I would like to do. The first one I did was 2013 Santa.

I was going to show you my progress a couple of days ago but never got around to it.

Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments 2013

by Charlette's Collectibles - Charlette Dockens

14 ct  Preforated Plastic

Called for DMC Floss

Started - 9/13/13

Finished - 9/18/13

Has anyone else done any ornaments out of this Christmas Issue yet?

Here is an updated picture of Beneath the Sunlit Sky that I have been working on.

I have removed the 2007  and will be replacing it with 2013.

On Friday my DH got a new toy to play with this fall.

If you didn't know - this is a Combine which he uses to take the corn and beans out of the fields. We have always had one but it was much smaller so he figured it was time to upgrade. He is one happy guy!

And on Saturday I went and watched my grandson play football. He is only in the fifth grade but it was fun watching him any way. He plays center.

Well that is about all for today!

Happy Stitching

My Work In Progress (WIP)

Good Evening Everyone!

I planned on doing this post Friday morning but my DD1 texted me that she and my granddaughter were coming over in the morning so I wouldn't be able to play on the computer like I do most mornings :(

After I finished Welcome October I dug around and found another WIP from my Crazy January Challenge 2012 that I need to work on. (actually there are 6 that are not completed) Well the one that caught my eye was .........
The Best Things by Waxing Moon Designs
I started it on Jan 4, 2012 and put 347 stitches in it. It has not seen the light of day since I took it out Sept. 3, 2013. I worked on it Tuesday and Wednesday and this is what it looks like now.

The border and half of the mauve heart was done on the 4th of January the rest I completed on Tue & Wed.  Then this morning I am up digging around my sewing room looking for my fall decorations that I completed last year. But alas I got distracted and started looking at patterns, kits and other stuff when I came across an old WIP.

The wording on this says
The Sea appears all golden

I put my DH and my initials in the upper corners and as you can see I stitched 2007 in the lower part. I have not decided if I am going the remove it and replace it with 2013 or not. What do you think? Should I or not? Please let me know what you think.
I work on it for a little while today and got about 300 stitches done so this is how it looks now

And I think this will be my next finish!
Well its almost 11:00 pm so I better get my butt to bed!
(no it is 11:00 pm now)

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
Happy Stitching
