Still Stitching Along

I am still stitching along on the deer project. The second deer made quit an apparence this week:


The rest of this section is quite alot of solid color blocks so hoping it goes quickly. Not so many color changes :)! Oh I am sure itching to stitch something new! I have so many things in my to do pile but I keep at this. I am hoping that next year it can be about me for stitching next year. No big gift projects but we will see. I am still thinking I will get this done by Christmas.
Until next time
May you be blessed with stitches,

Just stitching Along

Despite having a busy week(ladies guild at church, EGA , and a wonderful evening with friends) I think I was able to get a lot accomplished this past week:

What do you think? It always amazes me what it looks like when I step back from the piece. When I am working on it just seems like x's of colors but when you step away the picture is there. This week I will be at home after work each evening so hoping even more gets accomplished. Yesterday I was able to run to House of Stitches with my friend Beth and then out to lunch. We had a blast!! In addition to picking up a couple of things to make ornaments I also picked up to the first part of Bent Creeks' new series Christmas mantel. It is so cute sorry forgot to get a picture. I am looking forward to stitching it. Of course nothing is getting started till this piece is finished!

Until next time

It is Official!!

Yes it is official I am half way done!! Who hoo!!!!!

Ya have to celebrate the small victiories with pieces like this. I was able to do some stitching this weekend at our EGA guild show. We had a show of many of our members works. It was a lovely show and so inspiring it just made me want to stitch more. GREAT JOB NANI!!

I have a busy week ahead so not sure how much I will get done but watch for an update. I also will be heading to House of Stitches this Saturday sure hope they still have some market items available.

Until next time

More Stitching Going On

Well I am still going strong on the deer picture:

Yes a deer is finally making his way into the picture. I am also fast approching the half way point. Maybe it will be done for Christmas. Yesterday was the meeting for ANG lots of fun and more projects added to my to do pile.
I hope you all are having a good weekend and that your needles are flying.
Until next time

Stitching Along

Welll, I had to do some rolling on the scroll rods yesterday evening:


As you can see both of the deer have made their appearance.
This is what I was able to get done today:


I still am hopeful that I can get this done by Christmas. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Today I also got prepared for my ANG meeting next week. Two great classes I know that I won't want to put either away but I will so that I continue with the deer piece.
We have had such lovely weather even the rain yesterday. At least I had my errands done before it started and it was nice to just sit and stitch. Hope you are having great weather also.
Until next time

Stitchy Weekend

This weekend I was able to take a class by Tony Minieri Safari Teapot. Here are some pictures of what I got done:

I would say this is my most advanced project to date and I look forward to working on in the future. Tony is a wonderful teacher! I don't think that it will be my last class with him!

Not any update on the deer picture this week. The DS was in an out for the week so kept it put away. Today he ventured back to WV with the grand puppy. But we got the other two grand puppies and the DD back with us so we still have some 4 legged lovebugs running around.
I hope you all have a wonderful week.

Until next time

Just Stitching Away

I continue to work on my deer project. Here is my progress as of Friday evening:

My DS is in town this weekend and next so not sure how much progress I will be making. I am still trying to keep it a secret. I have finished 1/3 of the picture! A tiny victory!

Yesterday since I need something else to do I worked on my first Locker Hooking Project and finished it up:

The gold crochet hook actually has an eye on the other end and that is what you use. I was pleased with the outcome for my first try. I still need to work on joining the fabrics (a little lumpy yet) but I think I will make some more projects in this manner.

I don't know about you but there is a hint of a cooling trend oh that makes me happy! I have a full week ahead EGA meeting and then a needlework class next weekend. Of course I have to go to work in between oh well!

Until next time

May you be blessed with stitches,
