The Final Finishes from the Weekend

Here are the rest of my finishes from last weekend:

Little Sheep Virtue #7 Patience by Little House Needleworks.  I stitched this over one.  This is my interpretation of their finish.

Love Is by Summer House Stitchworkes using the finishing fabric and key provided in the kit.

And finally Bountiful Blessings by Threadwork Primitives.  The finishing fabric, wool, jute, and acorn were provided in the kit I purchased.  I love the detail of the wool leaf on the back of the pillow.  

Keep on Stitching!

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!

Bountiful Blessings

I started stitching this guy, Bountiful Blessings by Threadwork Primitives over the weekend.  I've made some progress and hope to have him finished and on display for Thanksgiving.

This came as a kit that I ordered from Dyeing to Stitch.  The finishing fabrics were included.  I just have to add stuffing when I put it together. 

Have a great day!

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.

Beggar's Night and Do Nothing Day

So, how was your weekend?  Mine was good.

Saturday I spent a fair amount of time getting my living room and hall floors cleaned.  It took way longer than I had estimated.  But, I am happy with the result and that makes it worth all the time it took.  I'm not so happy with the wax that I used and will have to look for something else. 

I don't know about you, but I am feeling like it is time to get the house all cozied up for the months ahead.  The long time of being in at night.  I think that explains my recent bout of nesting or maybe more appropriately nestling.

Yesterday, Sunday, was what I designated as Do Nothing Day.  I had intended not to do any housework or necessary tasks.  Of course, due to my contrary nature, I couldn't help but put away several loads of laundry.  And do two more loads of laundry so that the baskets would be empty at the beginning of the week.

I did however, find some time to work on Beggar's Night.  I am pleased with the progress I made yesterday.  I hope to finish stitching this guy in the next couple of evenings.

Have a magnificent Monday!

Beggar's Night - Monday Update

I made more progress on Beggar's Night yesterday.  I've moved beyond the Pumpkin Pie and am adding some other colors.

Maybe I can start on the pumpkin tonight.

Have a wonderful Monday!

Beggar's Night - Progress

I was able to spend some time last evening stitching.  And, I made some progress on Beggar's Night by Threadwork Primitives.  And, not too much frogging this time, and I have the border done.

 

Have a wonderful Sunday.  It looks like a beautiful, sunny, autumn day here today.

Beggar's Night Progress

I've spent a couple of evenings working on Beggar's Night by Threadwork Primitives.  I had made more progress.  Wednesday night just when I thought I had the border done, it was off by . one . stitch.  A mistake I had made in the top it turns out.  So the result you see here is what I had left after some major frogging.  But I am ready to start in fresh again tonight.

Please excuse the wrinkles. 

Thanks for stopping by.
