A May Update

I didn't have a stitching update to post last week.  It was Hubby's birthday, plus we tried twice (and didn't succeed) to buy a house in Virginia that week.  But I did get a little bit of stitching done this week. 

Here is my American Soldier Memorial piece.  It is coming along slowly.

Then I got this far on Spring House.  

I ran out of my grass color, so I ordered some more this weekend.  While I was getting something I really needed (ha, ha!) I decided to pick up some fabric for a couple of the Cup O' Tea patterns by Just Another Button Co. 

I started this piece on Saturday after I ran out of my other floss.  It is the January Flip-It by Lizzie Kate.  

I have come to the realization that I don't have any interest in stitching big complicated patterns this year.  I want to do things that are quick and easy!  Maybe it has to do with being distracted with planning a move, but I really don't have the patience to work on something complex.  So maybe this is  a year of  quick stitches for me.

Also, I posted another Christmas pattern at my design blog, Zippity Stitch.  I hope you stop by to check it out!

April 18 Update

My stitching has been very scattered this month.   This week was standardized testing for my oldest DD, and I was  busy proctoring testing for 7th and 8th graders.  Plus I haven't been feeling very focused on stitching- I guess it is anticipation for getting ready to move this summer.  

So this week, I worked on Spring House on Monday and Friday.  Here is my progress so far.

Then I worked on my Nativity Camel on Tuesday and Wednesday, although I did not get a lot of stitching time those days.  I think I am going to have to just focus on the camel so I can keep moving on the Nativity set!

Here is my TUSAL update as well.  Getting pretty full!

Stitchin' Update

Oops!  I forgot to do a weekly update last week.  With Easter, things were pretty busy.  My DDs were both in the Easter skit at church, so we had a lot of rehersals. 

For Easter, my mom got me this cool zipper bag set. 
Purple and butterflies- too cool!

This is what I have been stitching on this week.

Faith Hope and Love (stitched over 1)

Snippet: Spring Sampler by LizzieKate (a pattern I stole from my Mom.)

Here is what Spring looked like on Friday.

I was doing a good job of being a stash-only stitcher this year, but I just had to buy some floss.  So of course, I could get a couple of patterns too.  I picked up three of the Just Another Button Company Cup O' Tea patterns, as well as Little House Needleworks RoseHill Plantation.

Thanks for stopping by!
