A Stitchy Weekend

I was able to take another workshop from the designer Sue Reed this weekend. It was Graphic Expression:


As you can probably tell I am enjoying stitching on it very much. This evening I stitched till I could hardle see anymore my eyes felt so heavy. But what fun!! Sue is a wonderful teacher and I learned so much.
Thursday after I finished Official Crazy Cat Lady I started this little piece:



I believe it is called Seasonal Sampler by Bent Creek. It was in one of the little zippie bags. It is fun and going quickly over two on 18 count with pearl cotton.
I hope you were able to put your needle in some fabric this weekend.
Until next time
May you be blessed with stitches,

Doing the Happy Dance!!!

Sorry for the no post yesterday. I was having trouble getting my pics to load. But got it today.

As my DH made dinner on Saturday I put the finishing touches on my Holiday patches:



I have to say I enjoyed the piece and look forward to getting it framed and enjoying at Christmas time. So what is a girl to do after a Happy Dance? Start a new or finish a WIP???

Well I decided to be good and work on a WIP:

Official Crazy Cat Lady!! I think another Happy Dance is in the near future......

And a new pic of the reason I am an Official Crazy Cat Lady:

Ms. Kandi Rose she is sure growing.. After all those weeks of her not wanting to be picked up she now wants to be carried around and boy is she a lover. I am so happy that I rescued her.

Until next time

May you be blessed with stitches,
