First stitches of 2011

I think that I will be putting my first stitches of 2011 into Twilight. I figure there are about 400-500 stitches left to finish out page 2 and that's what I will be doing. I really can't wait to see this one finished. I really like how the finished piece looks , but darn there is so much dark blue in it. My baby girl "Baby Red" has already claimed it as her's and has a spot all ready for it above the head of her bed LOL ! She ask's me all the time why I'm not working on it :) So to appease the 7 year old I will attempt to get page 2 finished then only 7 more to go ! I will be back by the end of the week with photo's, if I am lucky maybe sooner !

Crazy Quilt RR - My Block

This little pretty is the block that I made for the CQ RR that I am in. Well it's really 4 wee little blocks that measure 4x5 each sewn into a kind of mini CQ . This little one hold lots of memories for me already. I started this 2 days before Nana went into the Hospital and did the work that you see on it while sitting with her. I still need to stitch her name and some dates on it. I want this to have a garden theme to it as Nana loved gardens! When it comes back home I will finish it with a black satin backing and binding then it will hang on my wall next to some photo's of Nana. Below you can see some detail photo's of my stitching.

Another cute Ornament Freebie

So while hunting for ornaments to stitch for the 2011 challenge of an ornament a month I stumbled across this little cutie. I really have been wanting to practice my bullion knots and this would be perfect for that ! Anyways if you want a copy of this chart click ------> Here.

Merry Christmas Everyone !!

Just a quick post to say Merry Christmas Everyone !!

I really need to stay off of Facebook. I have done barely no stitching this week because I have been so engrossed with Farmville and Frontierville LOL !! Next week no Facebook for me !

Terra Fairy !!!

I am so excited I opened up my e-mail this morning to find an e-mail that contained the floss list for Terra Fairy. She is from the SAL that I am taking part in over at the HEAD BB on Yuka. On the 1st of January I will receive the first part of the pattern. I can't wait to put the first few stitches into her :) To boot if I post 6 WIP pic in 6 month out of the 12 that the SAL runs I will receive the other charts from the SAL. One of them is an Amy Brown Fairy so you know darn well I will be posting those WIP pic's . It was a hard choice between the Amy Brown Fairy or this one the deciding vote which came from DH who just loves green! Anyways I guess I have rambled enough for now. I will be back soon with pics of what I am working on.

Cute Freebie

So this was just to cute and I think that it may be my first stitch for the 2011 ornament challenge which I am a part of. You can find the link here : Quaker stocking

An ornament and some progress

I sat down and stitched this little cutie up last night. It is a freebie from HERE. It was a first for me on a couple of levels, first time using over-dyed threads and first time for using even-weave. I think the count is 28 but I'm not sure.




I also made a bit of progress on my SK. Only 2 more blocks before row 3 is finished . However it is going off the hoop today for a much needed bath. Larry touched it with grubby hands and now it has a black smudge on the back so i will be trying to get that out today.
