Blessed

A 'blessed' Sunday it was! I finished this adorable FREE chart by Stitching With the Housewives (Pricilla & Chelsea)... the chart can be found on her blogspot. (priscillas. blogspot.com) I stitched this on denim blue 14ct aide using DMC threads. Finished as a stand up (with easel) for the credenza in the family room, so all can see and remember that everyday we are blessed!

Sunday FUNday!

Hi! Happy Sunday Everyone! I decided earlier this week that I would spend some quality time in my craft room finishing 'many' of my stitched pieces today. Here's a look at what I finished! This is August Flip It Bits by Lizzie*Kate. Stitched on 14ct fiddlers cloth using DMC threads I finished on sticky board with my stitching and then another material covered piece of sticky board and then put a felt backing on the back. This piece will go in my tiered tray for August. Next was: August ~ A Year of Celebrations by Hands On Design. Simply finished on a piece of sturdy cardstock and will be dislayed on a wooden box frame with a second covered black buffalo checked board behind it. Stitched on 14ct fiddlers using DMC threads. Then there was: August Truckin' Along by Stitching With the Housewives (Priscilla & Chelsea). This piece is displayed on a metal, rectangular bucket from Michaels. Simply finish. Stitched on 14ct chalkboard Aida using DMC threads. And then: August Word Play by With thy Needle and Thread, stitched on creme 14ct aida using DMC threads. This piece is displayed on a white-washed board the just props up againt a basket on the credenza. A second fabric covered board is behind the stitching with a gray buffalo checked fabric.

I'm Back!

Hello! Wow! I can't believe it's been 4 years since I last posted! Many things have changed within the last 4 years...not looking back, only forward! I've decided to rejuevenate my blog, showcasing my stitching and finishing, now that I have a new craft room for finishing that I just LOVE! I still stitch everyday, whenever I can find a few minutes here and there. Sometimes I stitch for the whole day if my chores for the day are done. Love these days! Here is one of my latest stitching and finishing. I just LOVE this one! Hello Summer
