Coca Cola Santa

Hello Everyone, Decided it was time for another update,  Santa has been going quite well until a little frog came along.......Isn't amazing what can happen with just one little misplaced stitch, As you can see quite a bit, I replaced everything that I ripped out and now  I have laid Santa aside for a little while and I'm working on some Prairie Schooler ornaments from book #24 Prairie Birds.  For one the stitching is more portable and I plan on taking it with me as DH is finally going to a specialist tomorrow for his kidney stones.  I'm sure they'll be doing some tests so that means lots of sitting around..  The kidney stone thing is old hat with him as we have been doing this for years, I'm just hoping that this will be just ones of those where the stones just have to pass.

My Winning

Hello Everyone,
I won a giveaway from Cathi's Stitching blog http://cathisstitchingblog.blogspot.com/
and I had to figure out where to take the pictures of my winnings and finally put it on my desk.  I had thought I should have my little seasonal cat that she stitched for me hanging up but didn't have a place to do so.  I finally laid it on my desk and I think the picture came out pretty good.  Thanks so much Cathi!  I hope that you all will  visit her blog, lost of nice stitching to look at.

Finally Doing An Update

Hello Everyone,  Finally an update,  Things have been rather busy here my DH has passed 4 kidney stones within the past 2 weeks and just before that I had surgery.  So that is part of the reason I have been quiet. It has been really super hot here too  highs in the 90'sF and even one day 100.  The heat isn't so bad but the humility has been awful, like walking into a blast furnace even at night.    I have been busy stitching I've  stitched 4 small samplers by Homespun Elegance.  Really fast to stitch the all have charms on them but I still need one for the sampler with the flag. I have now gone back to my Coca Cola Santa at least until I decide that I am going onto something else.  The Santa is one stitch of this and 3 stitches of that!  Anyway here are pictures of the samplers and Santa.

Finally Finished...................

Well here it is Sunflower House is finally done!  I changed it,  I didn't like the way the blanket stitch looked around the edge and it was also supposed to have blanket stitch and lazy daisy stitch in the flowers above the house.  anyway here is the finished project.  Now I have to decide what's next on my stitching agenda.  It has been too hot and humid here to do much of anything else.  Today is cooler than it has been in days, only 86F or 30C  Over the weekend and the rest of next week it will be 92F or 30C  I hope you like Sunflower House I will look forward to your comments.

Back Into Stitching Again

Well it has been a long time since I have updated my blog.  For some reason I haven't been doing much stitching.  I seem to have been having a hard time getting myself to pick up my needle but once I do I seem to get a lot done.  I did most of the stitching on Sunflower House the past couple of weeks.  I would really like to get it done so I could move onto other things.

Hopefully my next update will be a finished Sunflower House

Update Sunflower House By Cathy Jean for Victoria Sampler

Hello Everyone,
Here it is finally an update on Sunflower House.  It is going slow but sure. I haven't been feeling my best and neither has DH.  Seems like this Spring has not been kind to us.  But things have to improve don't they? LOL  I had to go for a doctors appointment in Indianapolis last week and to make the day better my friend and I went to LNS and I purchased all the supplies to do "Singing Free"  By Cathy Jean here is a picture of it http://www.victoriasampler.com/Catalogue/Cathy_Jean_Designs/cjvs13.aspx I have seen others at the site that I really would like to stitch, so I might be spending more money:0)  I am doing "Singing Free" for my cousin as she has donkeys.  I also got "A Patriot's Sampler"  By Midsummer Night Designs.  This one is for me for a change!!  the Lady that does these designs has a really nice blog with some free charts too.  So if you get a chance check it out.  http://stitchingandscribbling.blogspot.com

Armed Forces Day

Hello Everyone no stitching update right now maybe later today.  Who knows??  I have not been feeling my best but I am going to try and do some stitching this afternoon.  I have to have surgery this coming Friday it is out patient so no big deal really.

Anyway today us Armed Forces Day and my DH is retired Air Force so decided it would be a good time to try and honor our troops even if only in a small way.  Hope you enjoy my background and the music.

Hugs
