The big project

Just to let everyone know that I am almost done with page 3 of my big project.  There are 9 pages so I think I'm making pretty good progress.   I will post some pictures out in the I love cross stitch album that will be created. 
I tried to stitch last night while dog-sitting my sister's 5 scotties, which excuse me sister but they DO all look alike  haha.... but I had forgotten the color code sheet, so I read my book instead and was in bed by 8:30pm.  Wild Friday night. 

I must be nuts

I must be nuts....haha.  First I'm doing a pattern which has 9 pages to it.  Then a special friend says he likes dragons and so I purchased this dragon pattern to stitch and it's 12 pages long!!!!  I'm going to become a permanent fixture in my chair.  I'm sure once I'm done with both patterns they will be worth it but I certainly have my work stitched out for me.

While in Jacksonville Florida this summer I found a wonderful stitching shop, A Stitch in Time, and found this rooster pattern.  I have roosters in my kitchen thought this guy was cute.  I picked him up tonight from Joann's after framing.  Now onto the chicken wall.

My big project

This doesn't look like much but finally I have finished page 1 of my 9 page project.  The bottom right 10x10 took 3 attempts, I'd pull it out start again and still be off pattern.  I'm just glad that little square is done.  As you can see I've started page 2. 

Christmas is finished

Mr. Snowman has returned from Joann Fabrics and has a new home on the wall.  This is my second finish for 2011 there's another at Joann's being framed. 

This is my Halloween project finished and framed. 

Christmas is done

I have finished my Christmas project and have it at Joann's for framing.  I'm now working on the biggest project I have ever undertaken.  The pattern is 9 pages and color changes like I have never worked with before.  It will be a challenge but then winter is coming so I might as well stitch.
Happy Stitching,
Mary, Ty, Grady & Lil

busy on Christmas

I'm trying my hardest to get my Christmas stitching project done.  Joann Fabrics has another 65% off coupon off on framing.  The problem??? I need fuzzy floss to finish it and don't know if I can find it locally. I'll keep looking.

First finished project 2011

I have taken a picture of my first project from 2011.  I've been rather lax because of all the books I have been reading but now I can start on that next project.  The right corner isn't stained it was wet when I took the picture.....now it's on to Joann Frabrics who has a coupon for 65% off framing this week.

Never did I think

I never thought I would have a blog, but here I am with a blog.  I've started this to keep me on track with my stitching.  I have a project waiting for just a few finishing stitches and another waiting in the wings to start.  I find that trying to stitch in the summer is rather difficult with all the yard work that needs to be done, but it's about time I did some stitching.  Will try and add pictures as I finish each project.  I've also decided that I need to starting needle punch I love the patterns.
