Tour update.

Very Little

I have very little to show today because I'm working on a couple of ornaments...1 is the exchange and 1 is a gift.. I will post them when they are delivered.
The Castle has a lot of Backstitching done this weekend. So again very little to show unless you look real close.
I love this piece it is a lot of fun. Probably one of the easier TW's. But still a challenge. Lots of blends and quarter stitches.
Take care all have a good day!!!

She's tucked away.

Today my WITCH has been put away with all the other Ghostly paraphernalia. I will miss them all.

This photo is of a piece that I started about 20 years ago. I thought I was ready. Needless to say My mom finished it for me. I actually hung the witch in it's place for a month.

The black work was done by me and she did the rest.
I had it framed and it has hung in my kitchen [where ever] ever since. It is one of my favorites. I searched for the chart but it seems it was passed on a long time ago.
So I know nothing about it ...but I love it.

I hope you all had a lovely Halloween and stayed safe.
We do not get any kids at all. As a matter of fact we have had 4 kids [ all at once... whew] in 10 years. I always keep chocolate bars for them in case they come...If only they knew!!!

Today was our 10th anniversary of the day we moved into this house. Last week we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary as well.
It was a busy week. Then and now.
Well I'm off to Choir practice.
Have a nice night all and thank you for the wonderful comments!!

It's a Start

Yesterday was the day Kathy went across the border..BOO HOO... so she made the Decision that is when she was starting the Paradigm Lost. So needless to say I did too.
I know I'm not alone. I will post a photo on the Snowbird SAL as well, have a look at how many folks are doing the SAL. Most are starting today and tomorrow which is great, so there will be post for a day or 2.

In the mean time I started my Ornament exchange. I had to work but it wasn't busy so I managed a small bit.
I won't post that until my partner has received it in Nov. I love the exchanges.

Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone.
Stay safe.

Worked on Lucky

Hi All. Thank you for all of your lovely comments.
We had a wonderful weekend even though I did work on Friday and Saturday. I enjoyed my evening.....Watched the world series ball game and STITCHED. Lucky got a lot of attention and he is coming along.
Sunday the weather was gorgeous and was a none stitching day but spent all day with my family and had a wonderful dinner at my DB and DSL with my DH and Mom.

Today will be Tour des Marques after I do all those awful houseworky things..LOL.

Just a quick note I want to thank Kim ..The real life adventures...for the comment about finding a lost post. She emailed me with the info...Google reader and I will be studying that! apparently we CAN find it there. [I need to do some homework]
So I ask you readers to have a look at her blog she is a lovely stitcher and I'm sure would like to hear from my stitching friends as well.

Have a great day and stitch with happy fingers.

Happy Dance for the tree

I'm off to Chior practice so just a quick note to tell you that I finished the tree, See the word CHRISTMAS. I love the green on red..It looks gold with the Krenik.015 and 907 DMC .

Today was teapot day for me at the Thursday stitching group.
We had a good day except we had to say farewell to our Snowbirds Kathy and Angie.
We will miss them both. Take care of yourselves ladies see you in the spring.

Kathy and I will see each other in January.They come home for a break with the grandchildren.
Otherwise we will be in touch on the SAL blog..


Got to go. I'll be working the next 2 days but I will look in when I can.
Thank you for all your comments and stitch with happy fingers.

Itty bitty fob

Last week I bought a bit of Navy Blue even weave from Knowledge and Needles. So I decided to make this little fob.
It is 2" square. I used a DMC verigated thread.
The pattern is from Paradigm lost. Both sides.
The motif and the B.
It turned out pretty nice I think.
It was just for fun.

Today I was talking to Kathy and realized I hadn't posted my Witch finished ...so...Here she is.

Now I have to apologize, it seems I deleted my last post.
When I was doing this one I had put the wrong photo up so I deleted it and started over. when I looked at it I realized that I had clicked the wrong one .We tried everything to recover it but no luck. I guess when it's gone it's gone.
I feel bad because it was Becky's biscornu one and I do still have the photo. Thank goodness for that.
Thank you for the comments. I do get them on Email so I have those!!
