A finish!

I had needed something simple and easy to stitch the last month or so and I finished it this past weekend. Dog Rules for People by Lizzie Kate. It is stitched on 32 ct. lambswool linen with the WDW and CC threads that came with it.


I'm not sure how I'm going to finish it. A pillow or totebag? I may frame it and give it to my youngest son and his family - they now have 7 dogs and 2 of them are pregnant!

My oldest grandson, Jack, turned 7 in March and his mom had a surprise birthday party for him this past Sunday. This is Jack hanging from his Uncle Sean's arm. So funny!

I tried to get a picture of all 4 of my grandsons at once, but they were not cooperative.

I started a new project a couple days ago and will have some progress pictures soon. The Hoosier Stitchers are having their spring retreat starting today and I'm going down for the day on Saturday. Can't wait! It's supposed to be warm that day and I'm riding with a couple others that are going down just for the day. I'm ready for a day of stitching and fun!!

Progress and I caved!

I've been working on Angel of Dreams by Hanky Panky Designs and here is my progress. This is her skirt

I got the first 2 rows of filling stitches done and I don't have much of the last row of filling stitches to do. The last row is wrapped bars with doves eyes and I'm having a heck of a time with the wrapped bars! If anyone has any tips on making them easier, I'd sure appreciate it! When I'm done with her skirt, I just have to do the sleeves and wings and I think maybe a hair decoration.

When I got too frustrated with the hardanger piece, I caved and started another project, Dog Lessons for People by Lizzie Kate. Here is where I was yesterday on it. I am much farther on it now, down to the 3rd row. This is an easy stitch! I wanted something that didn't require a lot of attention and this is fun and a nice break.

While I was stitching yesterday, it was snowing outside. We got about 3 or 4 inches. Not too bad, but I didn't venture out all day and got a lot done around the house!

We're supposed to get more this coming week, with one storm a "major" storm. I hope it's not ice! We still have 2 inches of ice under this snow and it's still very treacherous out there!

I hope you are all safe and warm and have plenty of stitching to do!
