Hot Chocolate anyone?

I have a stitching finish to show

This was a freebie and I don't remember how I 

found it but you can get the pattern (here) 

 I stitched it on 18 count aida cloth

and used DMC colors

938 for the dark brown

434 for the light brown

712 for the mild cream

I think I will be hanging it in my kitchen

on the wall with these two pictures

that I stitched up a while ago.

Sorry about the glare, they are hanging in my

kitchen and the sun was shining this morning.

Well not much is going on around here lately.

I have weaned all my baby bottle calves,

so no chores for me until we start buying more.

Trying to get some of my family history done,

but that is slow going right now.

I think it time to start a new

project.

I am going to make a biscornu

this will be my first,

WISH ME LUCK!

We are having beautiful weather here today

I think that I will be sitting on my deck

with my new project in hand.

Have a great week everyone.

and

Happy Stitching

Catch up

I have been lazy again about posting on my blog

sorry! And I am behind on reading the blogs

that I follow also.

Last week I worked on Wanted - Santa by LK

I don't have a lot left on this one just the words

And then of course I had to start a new one

It is a Freebie that I saw on another blog

sorry I don't remember who's blog it was, 

should have written it down

when I printed it off.

Its called

Hot Chocolate - Liquid Heaven

I am using DMC floss and 18 count aida

It stitches up pretty quick.

I have not stitched since Friday. We had the

grandsons most of the week end. They were

helping there grandpa finish up the

combineing in the last field.

Saturday night I got a phone call from a

distance relative (never met her before) and that she and another

cousin were working on our  family history.

( another one of my passions)

I Have been doing my family history for quite a few years,

so they were wondering if I could help them with some info,

she emailed me the info that she had!

So this got the juices flowing again in search of the

past

It would be so neat to meet these women

but they live on the east side of Iowa and I'm on

the east side of SD. May be some day!

So Sunday and most of Monday I sat on the

computer looking up information that I had and

checking my sources before I send her my info.

Today is a catch up day!

First I am going to do a little shopping

then I have to get some laundry caught up

and my floors are in need of some attention

and some other general cleaning.

And then some stitching time!

I want to work on Hot Chocolate for a while.

Well it time for me to hit the road

Happy Stitching
