Enough With the Background Already

Hi there,

I find it very hard to stay on task especially when I have something that looks like lots of fun right in front of me.  That would be the 4th Apple!

So I spent 2 days working on the background stripes and THANKING HEAVEN that I have finished the border.  TWICE!!  FYI, those little red beads in the red stripes are a pill to put in.

I did work one leaf just so I would know how..  Still have the backstitch to do.

And here is J - I am also thankful that July only has 4 letters!  Meaning, I may finish this in 2017!  Yes, I still have the pumpkin parade to finish 👻

So the new plan is to work the next apple and return to the background.  It's nice having 2 months to do your homework.

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Derby Day

Happy Saturday,

Apple No. 3 is done except for the letter - that's next week along with the background up to 

apple No. 4!  So far so good!  Enjoy the Kentucky Derby!

Doing the Amy Two Step

No it's not a dance!  It's apple number 3


Step one was the starbursts and to make sure they line up correctly.

Step two was the red background.  This was broken down into 2 steps too.  I used all different methods of laying my thread.  My finger, a needle, my trolley needle, and my BLT.   I love using the trolley needle but the BLT REALLY separates the threads giving better coverage.  I'm just not that comfortable holding it.  I guess I need some more practice.

Tonight I will tackle the white diamonds - just finished ironing my neon rays!

Yay! I'm Finished!

Happy Sunday,

Don't you think that's what she's shouting?

Here's no. 9 of the 12 days of Christmas...meaning...only 3 more to go in this set!  She looks a little crooked but that's because I probably should have taken the photo while the canvas was still on stretcher bars.

Miss Mouse

Hi all,

I just finished my Autumn Mouse, known as Miss Mouse around here.  It's amazing how these little WIPs can get done in a few days.

She will be paired up with Mr. Squirrel which was finished last year - he's been waiting a while for this date!  I've already got the next WIP lined up :-)

Have a great week

Linda

Watermelon Love

Just finished my beaded watermelon and dropped off for finishing!  Yay!!

I've been using my extra time after finishing my 4th of July homework to get some WIP out of the way.  Two fruits to go..

Happy Friday,

Linda
