Hello All this isn't the best picture, the fabric is actually white but this is my progress so far on Holiday Village by Dimensions.  Once I got a good start on it it's much easier now.  Thanks for looking and believe me I need encouragement! LOL

Latest Finish & Fall in Indiana

Hello Everyone,  I have a small finish, this is for my friend Carein that I am in a round robin with.  Really a fun stitch It's from A Prairie Schooler Year.  The Header Picture was taken at Cataract Falls, Indiana this is the upper falls  If you're interested I have added a link about the falls Cataract Falls  I also want to thank our veterans for their service to our country which includes my husband MSGT Robert L Turner Ret thanks to Everyone for their comments.

2 New finishes

Hello Everyone, It's taken me awhile on the Halloweenies, Frog was around and I ripped and ripped some more! LOL  One little dog was on the fabric and off the fabric about a million times.  Now I have to make up my mind if I am going to make a pillow out of it or get it framed??

Next I stitched a square on a round robin belonging to my friend Debi.  Something totally different from what I would stitch, it is really pretty and was fun to stitch to me it looks like stained glass.

Next is a Biscornu for an exchange, so more later:) and hopefully a picture soon of the finished biscornu.

Thanks for all of your nice comments.

A Small Update & A Great Giveaway

Hi Everyone well this is just a small update I have been working on Plumstreet Samplers Halloweenies really cute and I love the colors, Gentle Arts threads, the only problem is I needed 2 skeins of Raven I called the LNS that I buy from and they're out so will have to wait for a few days to get my skein of floss, so if anyone is planning on stitching this one be sure and buy 2 skeins of Raven. I will in the meantime go back to my Prairie Schooler Christmas Village.

Also Nancy of victorian motto sampler shoppe is having a great giveaway something and stitcher would love to have. So go check it out.

Lizze Kate Marriage Sampler

Hi All,

I know it's been like forever since I have posted anything to my blog.  Lazy I guess but not really too much to say other than Indiana is hot and dry and not much going on other than that.  I have started working on a round robin and it won't take me too long to get that one done so will post a picture of it soon I hope:)

It's Finished!

I just finished stitching This "Something In Common" called Cabin Fever. I really like the way it came out. Almost hate to give it up, but it has to go to it's new home:) Now I'm going to stitch a LK Flip-it it's an SAL with one of my groups. Decided I needed to do another small piece so I feel like I'm accomplishing something.

Also here is an update on Holly the kitty. She has had lots of health issues but is doing well now and she plays like crazy. The bad part is she likes to play at 2AM!! LOL She did have a surprise last night we had 3 raccoon's fighting on our front porch and one of them came to the window and was looking in at Holly. You could tell by the way she sat there she didn't know what to do. Wish I had a picture of it because it was cute. Anyway here is a picture of Holly from this afternoon.

Small Update

Hello Everyone, I know I have been away from my blog for awhile, both DH and I have had the flu....But finally getting over it. Anyway here is the Biscornu that I stitched for a friend, I found the buttons at Hobby Lobby, the chart was an online freebie,which can be found here. I did change it a little so my buttons would fit.

Thanks for looking, I always enjoy reading your comments.
