An Update Finally

Here it is over a month since my last update, I was hoping to have more done on my current stitching project but just seem to be having a go slow:0) For one I have been reading a lot, I am reading the Cape Light series by Thomas Kinkade.  Back to my stitching.   I'm working on a Victoria Sampler chart and really enjoying it.  It is a design by Cathy Jean called "Sunflower House".  It has some specialty stitches but nothing too hard, except for I'm not sure about the center of the Sunflowers around the house, they are blanket stitch done in a sort of circle and I have never tired that before.  The floss used is a combination of Gentle Art Sampler Threads, Weeks Dye Works, Dinky Dyes Silks, And Vikki Clayton Silks.  The silks are a lot of fun but you most certainly have to make sure your hands are smooth because the silk will catch on the lest little thing.  Good reason not to wash dishes by hand! LOL 

Finally An Update

I can't believe that it has been so long since I have done an update.  Here it is the last week in February, I wonder where this month has gone??  I finally finished my sampler but it took me awhile and why I don't know, just not in the mood to stitch I guess??  I pressed it this morning but I know it doesn't look like it, but I don't know what to do about it because it is hand dyed floss so I am afraid to use steam on it.  My luck it would bleed.

Hello Everyone,  Well I am having camera problems so today I took a picture with my cell phone, it really came out better than I thought it would.  The thing is typing in an email address is not an easy task with those little letters! LOL  Took me a little while.

This is a Waxing Moon chart called "Live Simply Simply Live"  It is going pretty fast really I have not worked on it very much about a week all together, just can't seem to get myself going on this one for some reason..They have some nice freebie charts so if you're interested here is the addyWaxing Moon Designs

Now it is my turn.

To join in, all you have to do is leave a comment on my blog entry saying you wish to participate. If there are lots of candidates, I will draw three names from a hat to pick the winners. They will then post a PIF entry on their blog and post this logo as well, to continue the PIF.

The three people will then get a small, hand-made gift from me within one year. In return, they too will have to gift the winners they have chosen. And so on, and so on. This is how we stitching bloggers spread the love we put into our projects.

So, if you want to participate, please leave a comment on this Blog, or add yourself as a follower, I will choose the winners on Jan 31
