My new finishes!

I actually finished 2 small pieces on my vacation! I wanted to get more done, but some of the roads were in such horrible condition that it made it impossible! I was generally so tired at night that I couldn't even think about it at all. So, I have about 6 projects packed and ready in my stitching bag, but who knows when I will get around to them! (I put the beads and buttons on once I got home.)

Anyhow...here are my latest finishes:

Happy Easter!

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Easter!

Unfortunately no stitching updates. We have all been sick. I just came back from the walk-in clinic with prescriptions for a sinus infection. Needless to say I am not feeling the best.

Since I don't have any updates I will post a picture of my foyer all set up for Easter.

First Finish of 2007!!

I have my first finish of 2007! Yeah!!! I was able to finish it quicker than I thought. That is always a nice thing to have happen. Wish it would happen with my Holiday Express piece. Oh, well. I HOPE to have that one finished this year. It may be December before it gets done, but I am trying. :-)

Anyhow...here is:

Peter's Cotton Knits
by: Raise the Roof

Fabric: 28 ct. Summer Sky Jobelyn

Threads used: the suggested DMC & Crescent Colours

Changes made:

- changed color of one egg in the basket
- did not use birdhouse button in tree
- made some changes on mailbox so I could put date
- didn't use backstitch thread on clothesline, didn't like the way it looked


It's been a long week! I still have my Christmas decorations up. Can you believe it? I generally wait until after Three Kings Day (Jan. 6th), but then we went out of town last weekend, so it didn't get done then. I hope to get some done this weekend, but 2 things have popped up this weekend. UGH!!! I hope to get most of it done this weekend anyway.

Besides my train...I started stitching on a freebie heart design I got from the internet. Hope to have it finished in the next week or so. Will post picture of it soon.
