Another one bites the dust (WIP that is)

Well, i finished up one of my WIP's last week. It is Fond Hearts by Blackbird Designs. I used the called for WDW and 30ct irish linen. I really like how this one turned out and will be stitching more BBD in the future.

I also received my spring exchange from Shelleen but forgot to take a pic of it, so here it is. cute cute bunny she stitched for me. Thanks sooo much Shelleen.

I also just received my floss tag from Mary in Portugal from the Tiny Treasures exchange blog. It is gorgeous and i just love it! Thanks Mary!

Here is the piece i stitched for good friends of ours for their cabin. She bought a couple hand painted leather frames at an antique shop and asked me to stitch something for them. The first one that is done i stitched Cheerful Company by The Sampler Girl. I used the called for DMC and stitched it on coffee dyed/baked evenweave by me.

Here are a couple recent pics of the puppies. They are now 5 weeks old and running all over the place and playing hard. OUCH! they hurt. LOL
Bailey and her only boy Reggie (that's what we call him), they look like Forest Gump with his son in the movie. LOL

All 4 playing last night and sleeping

This is Bella, the girl we are keeping. she kept coming closer to me, hard to get a good pic that way. LOL




I am working on a couple exchanges i need to finish up for Fair & Square and then more me stitching time.

Is it May already?

The time is sure flying by. HS graduation is coming up on May 22 for Caitie (she graduated in Dec but walking with her class). Then on to ASU in August for her. It's hot out here been in the 103's and just getting hotter. yuck

Well, i have a couple tiny finishes to share, not much really. I have been digging in my WIP basket and just pulling things out to finish. Well, i pulled out Salem Witch by Primitive Needle, stitched on silkweaver's solo using DMC. I think she turned out pretty cute, for a witch. I also finished up a small reindeer ornament from HIH (the pic isn't really good but you at least get the idea).


When the girls were here in April for our GCGC get together we had a little Floss Tag class. A couple of us finished ours up at the cabin and i took Michele's and Sharon's home to finish up for them. Well, i finally got Michele's done (Sharon's is next). Michele stitched "Easter" by LK a limited edition kit this year, over 1. It turned out really cute.

It is my turn to be receiving ornaments for our HO HO HO Ornament Exchange group. I rec'd Nicole's last week or so, just hadn't gotten around to taking pics. So here is the ornament Nicole stitched for me, Pear Tree by LHN on 40ct. It is gorgeous, i love it. Here is also a pic of the goodies she included (note, i already started Free BIrd by Plum Street Samplers on the 40ct fabric she included).


Well, we are waiting for our dog Bailey to have her puppies here anyday now. She was due yesterday the 7th. So we are just sitting back waiting for the little pups to come. Here is a pic of Bailey the other day. She is so miserable and uncomfortable and has been nesting quite a bit so hopefully this weekend. They are kicking like crazy in there, too cool.
