Starting Kit 2

 

Kit Number 1 Complete

 This is SO ADDICTIVE!

Totally Off Track

 I am now totally off track but hey!  enjoying what I'm working on.

This is Amy's Home Study "Pain in the Tudors".  I just felt like I needed a geometric piece in my life so I picked this up.  I'm on the first kit and hope to finish Kit 1 (just have the flower band to do) before I take it to North Carolina.  The Row of Ladies is calling me !!!

I have been reading so many great books lately - sometimes it goes like that.  

Happy Monday

WIP Update

Ever wonder where all your pillow cases are??  And your magnets???

I know where my long ones are...right here.  We are having houseguests this weekend and I needed to clean up my closet so everything had to come to my office.

  THIS IS SO SAD.   AND THIS IS ONLY PART OF IT.

 Almost all of these are from classes that I never finished when I got home.

Here's the wall across from my desk.  Yes,  I still have my Valentine tree up. 

The Nutcracker is from a Susan Portra class (there are many- I could do a whole post just of my Susan Portra projects ).   Then, the first canvas from Zero Degrees North.  THEN my husbands alligator that he's always asking if I'm going to finish (Susan stitch guide)

 

Going around the room....

Here are two more classes one from last year - the pumpkin topiary(that was a Pat Sone class)...and the horse from this February(Tony Mineri class)

Here's Alli

Nutcracker close-up - it's going to have a very pretty background

And the Row of Ladies is so so pretty and I now have the last lesson.  This is Ruth Schmuff.

I'm not quite sure yet which one I'm going to work on next or which ones get shipped to North Carolina for the summer.

Right now I'm finishing up Christmas ornaments for 2021.

One thing for sure there's a lot of wood in here!

Happy Monday   xoxo

Easter Eggs and Polar Bears

Hi there

I brought this canvas back to Florida to finish for Easter and discovered that I had left the purple ribbon for the last flower in North Carolina!  Oh well, it wasn't going to be completely finished in time for this Easter anyway.

I felt good enough to go back to the polar bears so here is Mama.  Her ears were supposed to be twisted lazy daisy but I went with bullions.  It's actually whiter than in the picture.

Stay safe!

Avoidance Stitching

 Hi there,

Well there certainly is no end to the excitement on tv so I should be able to stitch non stop.  I've completed my 2021 ornament for Lisa although I won't be actually finishing it until all 12 are done.  She has already seen it - actually I gave it back to her so she can do #9 -so I can post it here.  It's a 12 Days of Christmas series from Pocket Full of Stitches...they are all pears and super cute.  Number 8...that maid's a milking!

That was avoidance canvas #1.  I'm almost finished with the first of the Kelly Clark Zero Degrees North and WHAT is left??? Bullion ears.  I am not great with bullions so have already pulled out an Easter egg to finish.

Here are the photos of Zero #1- there are the ears!  The bullions are supposed to outline the ears (4 of them...2 bears).  The sign wasn't bad once I got started.

And this cutie was FUN and he is happy NOT to have bullions!

Will finish the Easter egg and then post.  I'm sure there's another avoidance canvas in my stash!
