HAPPY DANCE!!!!!

I Did It ..I Did It.

Here is my first little over one stitch and I framed it too!

This is done on 25ct evenweave and I used 'pewter' Weeks hand dyed thread.

I put it with the teacup so you can compare the size.

Last Friday I went to a lily farm and purchased a new lily for my garden.. this is what it looks like ...I love the colour! This lily is called 'Hope and Glory'
The weather has been a bit better today and I haven't had to water it since I put it in the ground after all the rain we had!




Have a good day and stitch with happy fingers!

Detail .....

I spent all of my stitching time yesterday doing Backstitching. I try to do some as I go because I love the detail.

I had already done the face and the reindeer, so... I added the wing and the cape. Lots left to do but it is looking like I have accomplished something.




The Celtic Knot by M designs is coming along. I'm practicing for my HAED. [see previous post]
1/1 on 25ct. I absolutely adore it!



I have posted a photo of the Paradigm Lost on the SAL blog have a look here.


I'm off to stitch with the Thursday Stitchers Group this afternoon.

Have a great day and Stitch with happy fingers

I Couldn't Help it!

As you know I have Startitis and once again it flared up and I had no control......
Here is the result of that. One Celtic knot by M designs. this is my second attempt at over one. The first one was the M design Christmas tree. I now have a new addiction. I love over one and am looking at doing a HAED [heaven and earth design] Yup I'm hooked.

The other piece is a Prairie Schooler Harvest Time. As you can see the witch on a broom. This will be my flat fold for the Halloween season.

I also thought I would show you my towering herb garden. Isn't it cute??
I hope to bring it in for the winter. If it survives! So far so good.
Melanie [no blog as far as I can see] had asked about the Scenic Farm. The designer is Dimensions. It is a kit. [1997]It is a pretty piece and I'm enjoying it too.

Thanks for all the great comments on my blog.

Take care and stitch with happy fingers.

Time on the Tower

I had hoped to post this yesterday but I had a busy day and by the time I got home it was time to rest and watch the end of the Ball Game. We are winding down and my favorite team is out of the running....Aw....
Monday I put some time into the Tour des Marques of Silverlining design. It is slow progress but progress none the less.
I've put a few stitches in The CHRISTMAS Tree of M designs. Its coming, then so is Christmas!!!I have a few other projects on the go...One is a Biscornu for the Biscornu Exchange. I won't show that until my Partner has received it in the mail. It will be a surprise for her as she does read my blog. Sorry Becky you will have to wait.

I will be home today, and will try to update myself on the blogs and do lots of stitching to catch up on time lost yesterday!!!
Hope you all had a great day and thank you for your lovely comments on my Mom's stitching.
I love her dearly and I will share them with her when she is here on Sunday.
