Two more finishes...

I'm so happy to say I sqeeked out two more finishes last night!  I've stitched my first Christmas ornament of the year.  It turned out a little bigger than I'd intended, so I'll probably use it as a door knob decoration once it's Completed.  It was also a milestone for me--my first experience with Beading.  Only 6 total and I managed just fine. I don't think I'm quite ready to tackle that Mirabella in my stash just yet though!


Lizzie * Kate Quick-it


My second finish you'll just have to be in suspense over :D.  It's for an exchange and will be mailing out this week.  Once she received it, i'll add a pic.  

I will however share a pic of a former UFO & current WIP.  It's a tea towel for my best friends birthday.  I changed the colors to match her kitchen; however I'm having a bit a trouble.  The Cup is DMC 920 with 632 outer ring & 3863 inner ring.  I need one more even lighter color for the center circle and can't quite come up with the right combo.  Anybody care to offer a  "best color"?



I look forward to hearing from you and your color ideas!  Happy Sunday and Happy Stitching!  =)

Marching right along...

Hello there followers.  I have a lot to post today so I'll get right to it...
I have two finishes to share:
Remember my House SAL from 2012--DONE!! 

December House


Entire SAL



And I've completed another Love Quilt Square: 
The best part about this particular square is that my 12 year old SON stitched some of it.  He asked to help.  My heart just beamed =)


On a decoration note I decided it was time to decorate for Easter.  I didn't have a lot to work with so I stopped into my local thrift store and lookey what I found:





Aren't they great?  I spent a whole $3 on them.

Here's how I used them along with another bunny and grass rug I picked up @ Hobby Lobby:





That's all I have for now.  Thanks for stopping by.  Leave a comment or two if you'd like.  I'm working on a couple more finishes.  Who know's I'm might shock you & post again VERY SOON! Until then Happy Stitching!!!! =)

Long Time No Blog

Wow, I knew it had been a while, but 5 months!  O my goodness.  Bad blogger, bad blogger :(.  For my followers, I hope you have not given up completely.

Life has been busy and stitching has been S-L-O-W.  I have almost managed to keep up with my House SAL.  I'm on the November house and its the end of Dec--YIKES!

One of my goals in the new year is to blog once a month.  So I'm counting on you to comment and keep me accountable.  Check back soon, I'm planning a give away!  Happy New Year!   =)Pam

Happy July!

Welcome to July!  Can you believe the year is half over?  It sure has flown for me.  I really should blog more often, but life just keeps getting in the way.  I recently attended the Boy's of the Sun Tour (Kenny Chesney & Tim McGraw) with two cousins and a friend.  That was fun. They really put on a good show. 

I've managed to complete my By The Bay SAL.  Donna has some other great designs.  Check them out here.

Even managed to stick it in a frame I already had.  Though I plan to find a better one center it also.  Just wanted to enjoy it ASAP!  :D


I've started a new SAL  "25 days of Christmas" designed by my friend Sunshine.  The month is still early check out her blog here and give it a whirl.  She also has some just released designs so look for those as well!  Here's a look at my first 3 days....



Shelley is having a Brittercup Design giveaway on her blog.  I've entered to win. Check it out here.  Give away is July 6th so hurry!


I've got more stitching to do and I've started reading a new novel so off I go again.  Will be celebrating the 4th with family on the 7th at the Lake.  Hope you all have a safe and Happy 4th of July--when ever you Celebrate!  =)
