January Finishes!!!

Welcome February 1st!  It's official.  I finished my first month of 2013 with a successful round of finishes.  Everything that was targeted ended up in the completed pile.  So, without further ado, happy dances for....


                                         Field of Sunflowers (Permin)



                                            Through the Woods  (Mill Hill)



                                         Trio of Penguins (Lanarte)



                                                   Cherries (Eva Rosenstand)



                                                   Herr Drosselmayer (Mill Hill)



                                                    Ballet Silhouette #2 (Vervaco)


And, now it's on to the next month of projects.  It's so exciting to have some new starts looming.  Let's see, what's on tap for this month?   Well, I'll be starting Mirabilia's Easter Fairy.   I'm hoping to do all the holiday fairies this year in time to have them on the wall for the holiday season.  I'm also hoping to make some progress on the Three Shops from Permin.  The Tea Shop is well under way and I'd love to have that finished this month.  And at least get the Baby Shop started.

Some of the other starts that are planned include Mill Hill's Mouse King ornament, Mill Hill Ice Skates, Mill Hill Opera House, Eva Rosenstand's Peach and Thea Gouverneur's Jam Pots.   Definitely an aggressive plan, but I think I can make some good progress on these.

Till next time...

Some Summer Finishes

Hello Everyone! Ahhh summer.  So many distractions, so little time.  I am still stitching away here in toasty warm Massachusetts, but I've sadly been neglecting all my followers and not updating you on the progress.  What can I say?  Is a picture worth 1000 words? Sorry to say the computer just doesn't make it down to the beach or the pool - sand, water, electronics - bad combination.  But, now that I'm back at my desk I can diligently share with you all the wonderful progress I'm making on my never-ending list of projects. Mill Hill Dragonfly Such a summery little guy.  Although a close up would be better you can kind of get an idea of the excellent teal and lime green colors on this one. Lizzie Kate Green Flip-It Save Water The third one I've finished in the series - I should have bought all 6 patterns!  I think this one goes in the kids bathroom.  Every little reminder I can get in before they jump in the shower for 30 minute...

June at the 1/3rd Mark

So, June 10th has arrived.  I'm officially 1/3 of the way through the month and I think I've got a whopping one post so far. Not really living up to my plans to keep regular updates coming...hmmm.  Seems like a good goal to keep working on.  In that spirit, here's the progress for the month so far.  There are quite a few pictures here so be warned. A few new finishes. Honey Pot (Mill Hill) What can I say?  It just feels like summer to me when I look at this design.  Love the little bee charm as well.  The only challenge was the crazy small gold beads with full cross stitches through them.  I had my doubts as to whether I would finish them - so frustrating sometimes when I can't get that second half of the stitch through the bead. Flip-It June (Lizzie Kate) Yep, another one.  So far that's February, March, April, May and June completed (I missed January so that's a 2014 project). Laundry Wahine Style (Silver Needle) This is...

Wrapping Up May and Kicking Off June

Hello fellow stitchers! I hope you all had a great weekend.  It was toasty warm here in MA this past weekend.  Since I refuse to turn the A/C on in the house before July (it is New England after all), it was a whopping 90 degrees in our house on Saturday.  Quite warm. But, we are back to 70 degrees, overcast skies and some rain today.  In all seriousness, it was a great weekend to be outside sitting at the pool and the kids had a blast swimming this early in the season.  We were also busy with some other activities including my daughter's bridging ceremony for Girl Scouts up to Juniors.  I can't believe she'll be in 4th grade next year! Yikes!  All this is by way of explanation for the lateness of my May wrap-up post.  So I'm combining the wrap-up with a kick-off for June. In stitching news, May was in fact the biggest month for finishes this year for me.  Eleven in total!  Yay!!!  So, for the year the record looks like: January...
