Finally Finished

Hello Everyone, I have finally finished my Prairie Schooler Garden Gate Sampler from Book Number 45.  It was fun to stitch and went fast. I did this for a friend that has cancer now all I have to do is get it framed.  Now I have moved onto a Brenda Scott Keyes House On The Hill Sampler.  This one is really going to take some time because it is quiet large, here is a picture of it from her site Brenda Keys I love all of her charts and can't decide which one I like the best??;) For my next sampler.

Hope you all are having a good Memorial Day and please thank a veteran today.  I thank my DH he is retired Air Force.

Long Long Winter.............

Hello Everyone, Well for me it has been a long long winter and finally it seems as if we're finally having some spring weather, which is good because it has been really getting me down.  Very windy the last 2 days here but at least warm:)  I have been doing some stitching, first I stitched a sampler, it was a free chart that can be found here The Way To Happiness I did make some changes, at the top there is supposed to be back stitching between the butterflies, but I just didn't like the way it was coming out.  I also changed some of the colors of the floss in the lettering, the floss called for wasn't working on the lambswool fabric. Then I stitched a LHN Sheep Virtue I know I have been slow in my stitching but it has picked up now, I'm working on another sampler from Prairie Schooler Garden Samplers book number 45 it's an OOP chart that I have had for quite sometime.  At the moment not much to see but will post a picture of it soon, I will not let as much time go by as I have since my last post.

Woodland Whimsey

Hi Everyone Robert has been busy taking pictures with all things his cell phone and for just a flip phone not bad really.  This first picture is our driveway and the second one is on our porch.  He has had the wood gnome for awhile and decided to add the wood pecker to it.  Really worked out just right.

I have been stitching and knitting bot the last couple of days and hope to post an update of crafts soon.
