BIRDHOUSE WELCOME PROGRESS

Here's my progress on Birdhouse Welcome.

I'm going to put this one down for now and work on something else for the next few days.

Well the rice didn't work to dry out my phone; It will turn on now but the screen is frozen.  It will ring and receive text messages but I can't answer it or read the messages because it's frozen.  I'm so mad at myself for not getting the insurance on the phone because now it's going to cost me over $300.00 to replace it.  That could seriously cut into my stash buying!

Off to read some blogs.

Happy Stitching!

BLAH!

What a crappy day.  I dropped my cell phone in my cup of coffee and now it's dead.  I have it in a bag of rice hoping to revive it but I'm not sure if that really works or not. 

Chelle, I have tried to post a comment to your blog but for some reason I can't.  I can type in the comment box but when I hit "publish" it disappears.  Am I doing something wrong?  Help!

No pics today as I'm at work right now but I will try to post my progress on Birdhouse Welcome tomorrow.

Happy Stitching!

DREAMING OF SPRING

Woke up this morning to about an inch of snow. Blah.  I really hate snow but I guess I shouldn't complain since we've had a pretty mild winter here in Ohio.
Still, I'm dreaming of spring and wish it would hurry up already. 

Since I'm in a spring mood, I pulled this out of my WIP pile to work on for the next few days.

It's called "Birdhouse Welcome" by Joan Elliott.  I'm stitching this one on white Aida with DMC floss.  Hopefully I can make some progress on it in the next few days.

Happy Stitching!

A LAZY SUNDY

It's gonna be  lazy Sunday around here today. My house is clean and the laundry is done, nothing left to do but stitch!

Here is March.........

I'm still working on April and I hope to have it done by the 1st but I still have quite of bit of work to do on it so it might not be ready until next April.

Enjoy your Sunday and Happy Stitching!

NEW STARTS

I had a wonderful "Carrie Day" yesterday. I spent it stitching and catching up on my DVR and then my hubby took me out to dinner.  Perfect day.

I wanted to start something new yesterday and I have had these four beautiful fairy's in my stash but I couldn't decide which one to start, so I made a small start on all four! I'm crazy that way.

Aren't they just beautiful?  I only made a small start on them so there are no real progress pics to share just yet.

Well it's back to reality today, must clean up the house and start the laundry. Blah. 

I have to plan another "Carrie Day" very soon!!

Happy Stitching!

IT'S A "CARRIE DAY"


I took the day off work today to have what I like to call "A Carrie Day".  It's a day for me.  A day of doing whatever I want, which for me means a day of stitching.  No house cleaning, no cooking, no laundry, just stitching! 

Here is "February" by Waxing Moon.  Again, I stitched it on 14 count oatmeal Aida using DMC floss.



And here is the back.

Now off to get another cup of coffee and start my "Carrie Day". 

Happy Stitching!



LET THE BLOGGING BEGIN!

Happy March Everyone!  It's day one of my goal to blog everyday this month.  Today I want to share my January Sampler by Waxing Moon Designs.  It's stitched on 14 count oatmeal Aida using DMC floss.  As I share my stitching, you'll notice that I only stitch on Aida.  I have never stitched on linen because I'm really intimidated by it.  I just can't seem to get over my fear but I'm happy stitching on Aida so I guess that's all that matters!

Here is the front of "JANUARY"

And here is the backing fabric that I used.  There is a dowel rod with a ribbon tied to it so I can hang it from a hook I have on a shelf in my living room.  My pictures are not the greatest, but you get the idea.

I have purchased all 12 of these designs by Waxing Moon and I have finished January, February and March so far.  Tomorrow I'll share February with you.

Happy Stitching!
