Update & My Stitchy Ramblings 100-Follower Giveaway

It seems like ages since I've posted.  My stitch progress has truly been awful lately.  Just so many things going on.  My daughter skated in her first competition last weekend and came in 1st! YAY!  I just love watching her have fun with the sport.  And my dear sons have been busy as well - St. Patrick's Day parade marching, chorus concerts, camping trips.  It's never dull in our house.

So, all this is to say, I do have an excuse (albeit not a great one) for my lack of progress.  I did manage to get started on a couple of projects this month at least.

LHN Fresh Watermelon.

I love the colors on this and can't wait to get it up in the kitchen for summer.  Hopefully I'll be finished by the end of the month and I can take some time to frame it appropriately.

This one is so quick I know this can get done.  And, I have a couple of charts kitted up and ready to go in honor of St. Patrick's Day this weekend.  Whether they are finished this month...well, let's just hope.

Also, if you haven't already, check out the 100-Follower Giveaway over at My Stitchy Ramblings.  There are some great prizes as well as an awesome TUSAL update picture.

Speaking of which, a bit late, but here's my March ort report.


I'm not convinced there's much beyond what was in there last month given how little stitching occurred between the end of February and the start of this month.  But, it's on record for April.  I'm 100% certain there will be more to show next month.

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...
