Well, it has beena long time.

I decided to try the challenge of picking 15 WIP and finishing them sometime this year. I am not quite sure I will be able to post pics of them all tonight, if not I will add the remaining tomorrow evening.

Hi! It has been forever!!!

It has been forever since I updated my blog with any news or pics.
I have been busy. I went back to work full time, so that has interrupted my stitching time
:-(

My step son and his wife are expecting their second child in the beginning of September.
That exciting!!! Audrey is a doll and growing up so fast.

This is my beautiful daughter Nicole and adorable Audrey.

Another great giveaway

Check out this blog that I visited. She is having a great giveaway.

Long time since last post.

It seems like ages since I last posted comments or pictures. So here goes.

We just celebrated my granddaughters first birthday. How fast that year went. Here she is with cake.

Had a great time at her party.

This is a Lizzie Kate Yearly Santa, done as a SAL


I also attended a family reunion in August. Should have had one years ago. Had a great time reconnecting with cousins and their families.

I hope everyone had a festive fourth! We went to see our village's fireworks and they were great.

I am posting some pics of recent projects.


This is a Lizzie Kate named Forever Stitching


This is a painted canvas called Funky Flamingo.

Hot Stuff

This is a Debbie Rowley design from DebBee's Designs. It is called Hot Stuff and is done in reds and yellows. I wrote the designer to request color conversions that I had seen on her website. The colors that caught my eye were done by a fellow stitcher, so thanks to Shannon for the beautiful color choices and thanks to Debbie for sharing them to me.

Loved stitching this!

I stitched this up in the last day or two. It is a design by Miss Crescent's Crowne to bring breast cancer research and awareness to all.

It was a pleasure to stitch.

A quick finish for me.

I love rabbits, so I thought this was appropriate for me. I stitched it with mystery thread in purple, green and blue.

This was a freebie from La-D-Da.

Audrey

Had fun spending time with Audrey today!

I have some things to share!

The first being my granddaughter Audrey, I love to spend time with her. She is now 5 months old and such a happy baby.





On the stitching front, I finished a Trilogy design called Snowdrift. I am working on Blue Ribbon Designs' Peppermint Twist. I am almost done. I have also done a punchneedle design from Stone and Thread called Cottontail. If you havent't tried punchneedle give it a try. It is fun. I also did a flip flop magnet from Mill Hill for my daughter. I have also been working on a needlepoint ornament. I am going to try and finish an ornament each month.

Peppermint Twist

I am in a SAL for Blue Ribbons Peppermint Twist, here is how far along I have gotten.

My poor puppy!

The weather has been so frickin cold, my puppy didn't want to go outside. We put socks on her to help her. She walked so funny.

Hurry up spring!!

A finish, this is from Midnight Stitching, called Heartstruck Friends

I like this because it is winter, valentine and snowmen themed!

A couple of finishes

My daughter decided that she likes Heartful Harvey, so she took him home with her.

Audreys' first Christmas

She is out there, look for her eyes.

She is really just getting use to the snow, not quite sure she likes it yet.
