Hello!

 Hi!

Greetings from windy So. Florida, so lucky that those two (2) storms ~ Laura and Marco have decided to take another path other than to our state. Prayers to those in their paths.

I've been busy doing some finishing the last few days, so happy with how these turned out. Take a look!

This is Blessed by Priscilla & Chelsea of Stitching with the Housewives (a freebie) and I just LOVE it! Makes a great tier tray accent piece. So pretty with the sunflowers! Stitched on a scrap of 14ct black aida using DMC and GAST threads. Finished using sticky board, buffalo check fabric, and a little dainty piece of lace trim!

Next...

I believe this was a piece by Little House Needleworks (LHN) or maybe Prairie Schooler. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Stitched on a scrap piece of 14ct white aida using DMC threads. Finished on sticky board covered with burgandy fabric and a green ribbon. Cute again as a tier tray accent piece or even nice on a small easel in the living room.

Finally, 

For Keeps by The Trilogy! I LOVE this one! So cute! Stitching on 14ct fiddlers cloth using DMC threads. Finished on sticky board covered with a burgandy/green paisley fabric and accented with a piece of ercu lace. Once again, a nice tier tray accent piece or even a nice stand up piece on a small easel in the bedroom on the nightstand!

ALL three of these finished pieces are available in my ETSY shop:

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 have always wanted to stitch this chart. So much in fact, that I purchased the chart TWICE! Once I realized my over zealous-ness of this chart I knew I needed to get stitching this. Well here it is! I made a few changes...my name is rather long so I re-positioned the bird and only stitched the numeric year. I can't wait to get it framed now!

Tweet!

This one is hot off the needle last night! Disappointed that you can't see the snow on the ground by the bunnies or on the trees for that matter either. Changed the TWEET color from DMC712 to DMC3777.



Chart is SOLD!

Winter Sheep

Here's another quick stitch for the week ~
LHN ~ Winter Sheep. I stitched this on 14 count Fiddler's with DMC thread. Changed the red border to DMC #930. Changed the cardinal button to a stitched blue bird, added pearl metallic to the snow and snowflakes, changed the words to DMC #680, changed the star from gold to red. I'm happy with the changes!



Chart is SOLD!
