More of what I've been up to

Hello again!  I couldn't find where I shared this, so forgive me if you've already seen it.  I ordered the DMC box and it was filled with DMC floss.

 

October House - The Itch to Stitch and Pumpkin Row, above.   Also, Happy B Day and Bee Your Best Self

A few quick finishes.  top is Love by Lizzie Kate.  Second is Love - 2014 Valentine freebie from The StitcherHood.  The Lizzie Kate piece is stitched on an unknown taupe colored evenweave with DMC floss.  The Love freebie is stitched on an unknown pink evenweave with DMC floss #99.  

Valentine Mini Bouquet by Jeannette Douglas Designs.  Stitched on 40 ct Pearled Barley New Castle linen with DMC floss.

Stargazer earrings, a freebie by Deb Roberti.  Top is turquoise picasso superduos and gold seedbeads and earring findings.  The bottom left is red wine superduos, gold and redwood seed beads, and gold findings.  The bottom right are violet rainbow superduos with gold seedbeads and findings.  Very fun design to stitch!

Another from Needlework Galleria.  Jingle all the Way by Praiseworthy Stitches

Silent Night by Mill Hill.  These look like so much fun to stitch!

I thought I took a picture of the messy table in my craft room before I cleaned it up, but I didn't.  That table gets messy so quickly when I just want to put stuff in there instead of putting it up,

See you soon!~~

Beading and baking

 That's what I did on Christmas day.  My oldest son and his family were mostly sick and it was too cold for me to get out, so we just all stayed in our homes.

I made these beaded stars for co-workers at my second job.  They are so fun to do !

Pattern by Deb Roberti.   Made with diamond duos, gem duos, 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads, fireline, and a jump ring.

These are all the cookies I made.  Sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, and funfetti chip.  They are all so good!

Haven't stitched in a while, but looking forward to doing it this upcoming long weekend.

Happy New Year!~

Posting from my phone. 

Hello!

Wow, I haven't posted since September!  It has been crazy busy around here, but starting to calm down some.  My oldest grandson is in a marching band and most Saturdays were spent watching them.  They got first in the state in their class!  Woo hoo!

I've been doing stitching, crocheting, and beading.  Making some items for Christmas  presents.  I got a new laptop, so should be able to post more often as it's easier again.

Here is some beading I've done recently.  Two pairs of earrings finished, a bracelet (no picture), and started a necklace.   The necklace pattern is from Potomac Beads and it is SO sparkly!

The earrings on the left are diamond duos and seeds.  The ones on the right are superduos and seeds.  Both fun and easy to make!  The right side pair are a free pattern from Deb Roberti at Around the Beading Table.

Mom is doing as well as can be expected.  She's happy and in no pain and I'm glad she is still with us!  Luckily, I was able to get her in a facility that is less than 2 miles from home.  They are taking very good care of her.

My granddaughters are doing very well also.  Cat finished her treatment in May and her hair is growing back.  Emmy had surgery in May and it was found to be non cancerous!  She has healed very well and both girls are keeping their big brother and parents busy!

I will try to get back soon with some stitching updates.   If I don't, I hope you all have a great Christmas and a very safe and happy New Year!
