Reading and Stitching: Stash Hoarding = Giveaway!

Reading and Stitching: Stash Hoarding = Giveaway!

Vickie is having a giveaway over on her blog! Check it out.

Hello everyone; November was a long month for me; and December is flying by so fast.  I have been busy with my groups and I also accepted a temporary job assignment at my former job; the one I retired from four years ago.  While the income is wonderful, I miss my time and home and my stitching and crafting.

Hopefully, later this weekend I will post a photo of the ornaments I made for one of my groups.  They are a bit different; some stitching involved, but not a lot.

I will also post some of the photos of many gifts I have received from lots of my stitching friends.  All of them are just gorgeous.  I am planning my stitching goals for the upcoming year and have lots on my plate once again.  I have a Lizzie Kate SAL I will be finishing (yes, Meari!!); I am going to do another SAL with Angie called Lavender Blue; it is just beautiful!  In between my SALs I will be doing my Prairie Schoolers, Lizzie Kates and many other charts which I have just fallen in love with over the last year.

I hope that all my stitching friends are staying well; there is a lot of illness going around her in VA; lots of pneumonia and different strains of flu.  I sure do hope I can avoid them; I did get the flu shot and the pneumonia shot, because of my history of asthma and bronchitis.

I do want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year!  If you do not celebrate Christmas, you enjoy whatever holiday it is that you observe!!!

BIG HUGS,

Another Small Finish

This is a small finish I did for Halloween; it is a Lizzie Kate Snippet.  Enjoy!

A Small Finish - September Owl for SAL

This is the September Owl I finished today for the SAL I am doing in the Oakhaven Designs Group.  I just love these little guys.

Mistake on Blogspot address

Good morning to all my stitching friends; in my previous post I put the wrong address to the blog where the Needle Painting design is located.  Also, check out Karen's other designs!

It is www.sunshine-stitches.blogspot.com  Sorry for the mistake!

Good afternoon to all my stitching and blogger friends!

I have been doing some stitching that I would love to share; first, I have a finish of a design that has the saying that I 'authored'.....I asked my dear friend Karen to please put this into a cross stitch design; she did this for me; I stitched the model, and here is the result!  It is for sale on Karen's blog for $5.50............please be sure to check out her blog!  www.sunshine-stitchesdesigns.blogspot.com

The piece that I have been working on and hoping to finish soon is my Lizzie Kate, ABC Lessons.  I have been 'egged on' by my friend Meari, after ruining the first one that I had started a while back; this is the second start for me!

I have just begun my final sampler of the Country Seasons by Prairie Schooler.  I am doing Autumn and will have an update later in the week.

The weather here is really beginning to feel like Fall, and I am happy to have cooler temps!  Won't be long and the holidays will be upon us!

Until next time,
Sue

Update by end of the Month

Since the hurricane, I am just getting back to normal and that means my stitching.  You would have thought that I would do tons! lol.....well, without the electric, the hot weather and no light at night, it was difficult to do much of anything.

I am finishing up two projects this week; then working on a special project created by me and a good friend, so stay tuned!

I really need to start my Prairie Schooler Autumn Sampler so that my four seasons will be complete by the end of the year.

I also have many, many more that I want to start; I think next year I will hold back on the SALs and concentrate on my projects.

I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend and is ready for some nice Fall weather!

Hugs,

Sue
