I'm Still Here!

My poor neglected stitching blog! Of course, really it has been my stitching that has been neglected. Nothing new going on so no reason to post!

Well that has finally changed!

Last month, Mom took me to the Silver Needle retreat in Tulsa OK. A very nice retreat it was, and a fun time to get together with other stitchers.

My first finish at the retreat: I Love My Cat

Pillow kit by Pine Mountain Designs,

using Aida 14 ct fabric, with DMC 310,

318, 738, 801, 814, 597, 977, and 988

Second finish at the retreat: I love My Dog

Pillow kit by Pine Mountain Designs,

using 14 count Aida, with DMC 815, 420, 890

Mom got this one for me and I finished it on the plane ride home!

My Mother, My Friend

Pillow kit by Pine Mountain Designs,

January 21 2013 Update

This was a long week. Oldest DD got sick (yucky kind of sick!) in the middle of the night on Wednesday, after Hubby and I had been sick most of the day. Hubby and I had a fever, aches and pains, all the good news of the flu. Youngest DD got sick- just a fever- on Friday night, she actually fell asleep on the floor, something that hasn't happened in a long time!

I didn't even feel up to stitching on Thursday or Friday, instead, spent most of the time just watching movies.

But before everyone got sick, I did get some stitching done.

Finished 1-14-2013

Stitched on 32-count linen, using
