Finished

Knocked it out in about a month. Since Pam died I have been stitching like crazy. I think she is pushing me out of my slump!! LOL Here is my Desert Star too, I don't think I ever posted a good finished picture.

Ha! I bet you thought I had forgotten this

OK, Here is what I am working on. I am so hooked on this canvas work. This pictures is from a little over a week ago.

And this is from today.


This is Laura J Perin's Sunflower Star. I love it.

I also treated myself to 5 skeins of Carrie's Creations Threads. No I didn't need 5 but I was looking for 2 that went together to work on my Beehive Garden pieces from Wendy K.C. Designs and I couldn't tell from the online pictures which yellows were companionable! It ended up being Golden Glow and Fall Splendor. I got a couple more yellows for something else sometime. I also got one called raspberry Swirl that is not yellow as you might guess. I just thought it was pretty and I found a freebie of a Quaker style flamingo that it will be pretty in!

Finished!

Here it is!  The stocking is is finished.  I will go buy material in the next day or two and sew it up into the Christmas stocking for Zane.  Woohoo!  Now to finish Rocky Mountain Christmas (Pam, quit that snickering!)

Update on stocking

Is no one else stitching? I mean, I am bad but hey, come on you guys!!!

Here is the stocking again. And this picture is up to date. Just took it this morning. Have to do a bit of backstitching and half stitches for the floor then put the name on and sew it up! Yea!!!

The tree is DONE!

Do you know how many French knots were in that thing!!?? No, don't either but I can tell you there were a BUNCH! And I hate French knots. Well, maybe that is a bit harsh. I don't mind a few French knots but this many was tedious. Here it is. Now on to other things on this stocking. It is coming right along!!! Have to be done by Sept. Do you think I will make it or have to wait until next year to enter in the fair? Does not matter as long as it is done for Christmas!

Small update - no photo yet

The tree is finally going great. I have started on the dark green and since it does NOT fade into the other two I can zoom along. I will try to post a photo later. Also, I think I am going to pull Rocky Mountain Christmas out of my UFOs and get it finished. Pam sent me a link of one in the works and that inspired me. That will feel like an accomplishment. Urge me on, people!!! LOL

And BRRRRRRRRRRRRR I think we are back to winter this morning. Had to turn the heat back on. Oldest grandson has his last soccer game this morning. I may sit in the car.

Canvas work update

This is from last week, I think I took it on Wednesday

This is from this morning but I didn't touch it at all yesterday.


There Pam, are you happy now???
