January 3

Ok, trying something different tonight.  Pictures from my phone and composing the post online on my tablet.  So far, so good.

A little progress on Sampler House V last night,  I plan to get back to that tonight.

At lunchtime yesterday I put a few stitches in Animal Cracker Series - Clementine.  She reminds me of my Tilly.

And I finished the 1994 Santa by The Prairie Schooler last night.

And now there are two Santas in the windows.

I think I have one more stitched and will try to finish that one after I have some dinner.

Thanks for stopping by.

I put away the Christmas decorations yesterday and cleaned.

As a reward I started Sampler House V by Plum Street Samplers.

I also did a little finishing last night.  Here is my 1992 Santa by The Prairie Schooler.  I found the window at Hobby Lobby.

This finish was inspired by Priscilla #priscillafy.  I will put one Santa in each of the other windows panes.  I still have two others that are UFO's, one WIP, and a couple that could be started in short order.

And a picture of my amaryllis this year before it fades any more.

I'm off to exercise, do a little home tending, and finish a little bit before I sit down to stitch.

So to do this post I have  used my tablet, phone, and laptop.  I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be this hard.  Here's to learning new skills.

Thanks for stopping by.

Road Trip for One

Weekend before last I headed out for Just Cross Stitch in Lederach, PA.  I had emailed Carolyn and asked her to hold one of these for me.  I've been wanting one of these since I first saw them online. I can see that I need to do some serious trimming on that fern.  It looks good from the top.  I rarely see it from that angle.

Before I left I made a list of floss I needed to kit up a few projects.  This is how much floss I wound up with:

And I picked up these charts:

And this kit:

Pretty good haul for a trip to pick up a mug and a little bit of floss.

I really don't want to think about what this did to my Stitch from Stash budget.

Keep on Stitchin!

A Finish and A Start

Last night I was able to assemble Beggar's Night.  I am pleased with the way this turned out. I chose to use green chenille trim instead of the orangey color that I had.  I liked the green better.

I also started His and Hers Thanksgiving Stockings by Plum Street Samplers.  I am using 36 count Lambswool since I had some of that in my stash.

I tried to upload my photos earlier today but had some trouble.  Seems to be working ok now.

Have a great evening.   I'm off to the happy chair.
