Stitch - Stitch - Stitch

Good Morning Everyone!

 

I have a small problem, well not a real problem ,but I commented on a post and I don't remember if it was on Bloglovin, Instagram, or Facebook. The problem is I commented on this persons new start and I told her I had done it already and she wanted me to show her a picture of the finished piece.

Here it is! It hangs in my living room.

Decided to take a short break from it and do this one. It has been kitted up for some time!

I chose July word play because it is both my husbands and my Birthday Month!

Good morning everyone! 

I have a finish to show you

Home of a Needleworker
Little House Needleworks
Started 5/17/13
finished 6/22/13
28 ct cream Jubilee
called for CC

I will be getting this one framed and find a place to hang it in my living room. 

I actually finished this on Saturday morning. And I have a new start, this one won't take very long to finish up.

I will have this one done in the next couple of days - hopefully!

My weekend was crazy busy with truck pulls and spending time with family and friends.

Here are a few pictures from our weekend.

Mug Rugs

Good Morning Everyone! 

Can you believe it I don't post for almost 3 weeks and now 3 posts in the last week.

I don't have a lot to report this morning, but I wanted to show you what I made last night.

No I didn't make donuts - they are store bought.

It's a Mug Rug, for my coffee cup and snack

This is my first try  at making a Mug Rug and I intend to make more of these cute little mug rugs for myself and gifts for my favorite people. They stitch up quick. What do you think of them? Have you seen them before? I found them on pinterest.

Here is a update on Home of a Needleworker.

It is kinda quite around the farm this morning. We sold 21 head of fat steers yesterday so we only have 6 steers left in the fat lot. And then we hauled the last of the cow-calf pairs out to the pasture. No more sitting here playing on my computer and watching the baby calves running around.

Well I need to finish my dishes up and then get ready to run my errands this morning.

Happy Stitching

Way over due post!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

Oh my goodness where did the last couple of weeks go? 

Nothing exciting has been going on here. Just the same as always - cleaning, laundry, mowing & dieting. Then get up the next day and do it all over again. I have worked on my family history several days, found some interesting stuff and hit some road blocks, but love looking and putting pieces of the past together.

Last weekend my future daughter in law had a bridal shower and she got a lot of nice gifts. This week end is her bachelorette party. I plan to go for the beginning of the evening (supper and drinks) and when the girls take off in the party bus I will be going home and let them party the night away. ( This 50 some year old can not keep up with a bunch of 25 year old's any more).

I have only been working on one project since my last post and that is: 

Home of a Needleworker

In my last post I only had the blue in the house done. I am still counting my stitches as I go, so here is the stats so far.

Just the blue in the house had 882 stitches in it.

And as of last night I had completed 3758 stitches on this piece so far.

I don't know how much stitching I will get done today because I have been wanting to do some quilting.So after I get off this computer I will be heading to my craft room and working on some quilt blocks. I have not worked on quilt blocks for quite some time.

Well that is about it for now.

Happy Stitching

Lots of things to share

Good Morning Everyone!
Lets see where do I start?
I have been stitching, not as much as I would like too but some. I have been working mostly on We Three Kings since my last posting. Here is my progress.

I have not worked on this piece since last Dec. so it felt good to get it out and work on it. There are a lot of color changes on the this one so I needed a little change of pace and started on Home of a Needleworker by Little House Needleworks. And here is my progress of this piece as of last night.

I started this piece on the 17th and have 882 stitches in the blue house so far. This one will be an easy stitch as there are not very many color changes.

In my last post I told you about my new book shelves in my craft room. Well right next to the book shelves is a closet that I have not used forever, because it stored all of my son's stuff that he did not take with him when he moved out.

So every thing was taken out, sorted, trashed,& given away. I was left with this.

Nothing in the closet, I wash the walls and the floor. Then I decided to take the door off so that it would not become the catch all place and be hidden away forever.

And here I can neatly store my totes.

I was a winner of a giveaway, Cathy over at I Love to Stitch sent these wonderful things to me.
Thank you so much!
