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!

Thanks for stopping by!

Weekend Update

With the kids not feeling good this week, I didn't get much stitching time in.

Today (Saturday) I got another finish (number 10).  

This House Believes in Santa, the Annual Christmas Sampler 

by Homespun Elegance,

stitched on 26 count linen, using DMC floss.  I added

the star button on the top right since I ran out of green.

UFO Tuesday, I made progress on Thanks Be To God.  I finished the alphabet and the pumpkin leaves on the top.  This one is pretty close to being done.

A new start, one of my 2010 goals, Families by LizzieKate.  This is stitched on a pretty purple splotched fabric.  

I have started a new blog called Zippity Stitch.  I am posting free patterns that I have designed.  I have hidden aspirations of becoming a designer some day.  I hope you will stop by and check it out.

Here is my TUSAL update for March.

Weekend Update

This week I did not get very much stitching done.  For UFO Tuesday, I didn't even get to stitch!  Oh well, hopefully next week, I will get some stitching time in.  I might get to do some tomorrow at our friend's super bowl party too...

Here is my progress on Starry Night.  I need to finish the frame and the tree, and add a charm, and then it will be done.

My TUSAL update for this week.  

I finally started one of my Nativity goals for 2010.  This is the start of the sitting camel from the Leisure Arts Nativity Set.

Third Finish for 2010

Another goal for the year done.  I finished up America: Home of the Brave last night.

Home of the Brave, by R & R Reproductions

(Memorial piece for 9-11)

sewn on 28 Ct Sea Fog Linen,

using WDW whitewash, twilight, ST Buckey Scarlet, and DMC 336.

The Week in Review

For UFO Tuesday, I worked on Thanks Be To God.  Here is almost what it looked like when I started.  I added the top letters before I thought to take a starting picture.

Here is what it looked like Tuesday evening.

Here is a picture of my TUSAL, all of my thread snippets from 2010.

Over the weekend, I plan to stitch some of Cat-o-lantern.  This is a pattern I absconded from my Mom's stitching stash.

I figure I will work on something small and quick for a little bit, then hit the nativity patterns. Thanks for checking out my blog!  Hope you get some good stitching time this weekend.
