Happy Heart Heart Day!

Here is my latest finish...Happy Heart Heart Day by the Trilogy. Fast quick stitch that I did on my lunch break at work. Would like to finish it into a small pillow or wall hanging. Stitched on 14 count Aida using DMC thread and adding some miscellaneous buttons I had laying around.



Chart is SOLD!

Doggie, Dogs and More Dogs!

We are pleased to announce that we adopted ELLIE from our local Humane Society and we are loving every minute of having her....here is her picture:



She is 5 months old...her breed is a Pointer. She is very energetic and requires at least 2 long walks a day and lots of playtime. We are so LUCKY to have her!

On the same 'dog' note...I finished all of those previously posted dog pieces....


Finished as a stand up easel with handmade twisted cording on the edges.


Finished as a no-sew cube.

Monthly Finish ~ Drawn Thread ~ JUNE

Hi All ~
Just a little behind in this Drawn Thread series I am doing. Finally finished JUNE and currently working on September. I'll have to 'catch up' with July and August. I started September because I liked the school house and since school just started here in Florida it just seemed appropriate!





Drawn Thread ~ Pocket Calendar Series ~ Aida ~ DMC supplemented with threads from kit.
(Please note these kits are being PIF'd within a group of stitchers from the 123Stitch MB.)

Here is what I had done so far in the series...I'm stitching them all on one large piece of fabric to be framed when finished!




Have a GREAT weekend!

Got Luck ?

Here's another finish for the week ~





This was a 'freebie' off the internet for St. Patrick's Day called Got Luck by Plum Street Samplers. (web addy is: http://plumstreetsamplers.typepad.com/)...the freebie is still there.

I used 14 count Aida and DMC colors 163, 164 and ercu. Fun and easy stitch!

Dog Days

Good Friday Morning ~

It seems that lately all I've been stitching is doggie things ~ maybe because we are in the process of looking to add to our family by the way of a dog. We have been visiting the Humane Society but haven't found anything yet...but we are still looking!

Here is this weeks finish:




Lizzie*Kate's ~ Dog's Leave Paw Prints on your Heart ~ #Q-003 ~ Aida ~ DMC
(Chart and extra charms are available for sale at the bottom of my blog page)

Button, Button....

Who's Got The Button! This was a fun and quick one to stitch. Found this 'older' chart in a markdown bin at The Cross Stitch Cupboard in Ft. Lauderdale, FL while I was on vacation. I had never seen this style of presentation before so I bought it! What will I do with the stitched piece...I'm unsure at this point. But I do love the way it turned out.








Jean Farish ~ Button, Button... Aida, DMC
Chart is SOLD!

Would love to hear some ideas of how to finish this...leave a comment!

Scrapbooking ~

Here is my latest finish for an on-going WIP. This is a scrapbook cover that fits over a 12"X12" album. Available from 123Stitch.com. I used the Cherrywood Designs chart NEEDLES for this, using DMC white.



I scrapbook my smaller pieces of cross stitch that are too small to frame or finish into something worthwhile that I could use around the house.



The charts I used for these pieces were: Prairie Schooler ~ 'S is for Spring', I got this chart using the wayback machine, The Drawn Thread ~ Spring Keeper, this was also found using the wayback machine,(http://web.archive.org/web/20030508011225/http://www.thedrawnthread.com/) and then finally Lizzie*Kate's ~ Hello Spring, found on her website (http://www.lizziekate.com/free.html). All stitched on Aida using DMC thread.

Thanks for letting me share these with you. May all your stitches be happy ones!

Strawberries ~YUM!

Good Afternoon ~

Here is my finish from the weekend ~ I think I found the PERFECT fabric for making a tuck pillow. What do you think? It couldn't get any better.





This was a 'freebie' chart from LHN, found on her website:http://www.littlehouseneedleworks.com/images/June_2011_Newsletter.pdf

I used Aida fabric and converted the Crescent Colours to DMC. Black Coffee 310, Bamboo ecru, Sassy Brass 780, Clay Pot 3722, Manor Red 816, Poblano Pepper 3347, Spinach 500 and La Tierra 840.

Needles ~ What's That?

Good Morning ~

Here's is yesterday's finish




CherryWood Designs ~ CW40 ~ Needle ~ 2nd in the Dictionary Series ~ Aida ~ DMC

Hope your stitches are happy today!

The First of Many to Come....

Here is my latest finish ~



Little House Needleworks ~ Summer Season of Growth ~ Aida ~ DMC

I would like to make this into a tuck pillow. As you can see I've already chosen a fabric.
Chart is already sold.

Here We Go!

I have contemplated having a blog for some time and have decided to take the plunge! I plan on using this blog to post my completed cross stitching pieces, whether just off the needle and or the completely finished piece. I will post pictures, list the chart used, fabric and thread as well. Hopefully all of this will 'push' me to finish my pieces a little faster and actually see them to completion. Wish me luck....! Here we go!
