A little of both!



I did stitch on the MG but not too much to show.


I also pulled out the Angel if I put it away too long I seem to forget she exists. I did quiet a bit on her today at the Thursday stitching group.
The reindeer's head is finished. He has a lot of body. So more of the same colours. He does still need to be back stitched but you get the idea.

Paradigm Lost got some attention yesterday. So I also posted it on the SAL Blog.

Off to yet another Choir practice tonight. That is 4 this week. This keeps up I should apply for pay...LOL. Now that I'm nearly retired I spend more time singing then working.

Have a great day!

Lots to show!!

First of all I had a great time at Ann's open house. I bought lots of stash and I thought I'd show you some of it. Some people were talking about doing a Miriabilia for a SAL in 2009...I know that's along way away. But I found the one I would do.
She is -White Christmas- I bought the fabric as well. Jazlyn even weave-Amaretto-. The colour is perfect.
Next I have a Châtelaine...The Alpine seasons garden. The fabric will be Lugana even weave -Mushroom- I don't know when that will get started but I love it!!!


Here are the rest of the charts I picked up.

Last but not least Dani brought me the fabric to re- start the Moonlight Guardian. So I did. I'm 8 weeks behind so guess what I will be working on a bit more for a few weeks.

I hope you all have a good week and stitch with happy fingers.

Framed


As you know yesterday I posted about the little piece I was doing for a gift for a Red Hat Lunch.
Well here it is. I finished it in the afternoon and Today I put it in the frame.
I'm happy with the way it turned out! The name of our Group is the "Decadent Dames" so I added the name and year. I hope it will make someone happy.
The lunch isn't until April the 20th. But I don't like pressure so decided to get 'r done!!!

Today I'll be working on a Wip..not sure which one will jump out at me. Probably the ornament that I would like to finish before the end of the month. Then I would be 2 for 2.

Have a great day all and stitch with happy fingers!

Boy I need to catch up !


I finally have a day that I can catch up with my blogging. I have been stitching.

First of all : I did some on the PL...Back stitching so there is not a lot to show. I thought I would do it on the big motif so when I move on to the next page it will be done.

The star: is an ornament from the 2007 Just Cross stitch Christmas Ornament Mag. My Feb Ornament. It should be finished by the end of the month.



This little Red and Purple: is for a gift for a Red hat person in a group that I belong to. Yup.. Red Hats. It's sometimes the only way I get to eat out. And it is fun.
My name was drawn the last time so I need to do the gift. I thought a little cross stitch would work.
The chart is from 1999 Chartland Designs Inc. I have to modify it a bit to suit the theme of red hats but its close.



Next: I finally received the hair for the little sampler so I could frame it. He took over a year to grow enough to cut some off.






I'm going to spend some time today blogging.
Have a great day all and Stitch with Happy fingers.

The Dutch Map


I sat at this Map for a few hours and finished the little guy with the feather in his cap.
I feel like it was a little Happy Dance. I don't work on this often but it is fun. The finished piece will 34" by 34" it's about 10" by 10" now...so I have a Looooong way to go.

This week has been a poor week for stitching...Busy as usual. I hope to work on PL tonight after choir practice.

See you all soon in the blog world. I'm trying to get caught up today!

Stitch with happy fingers.
