May SAL

Friday, May 15, 2009

I hope every one had a great Mother's Day. I had the best one I have ever had. Thank you Chris & Nicky. My baby took me out to eat breakfast with the money he saved from moving lawns. Chris bought me some cute little birthstone eerings and they both gave me carnations. They really put some thought into this Mother's Day..That's what I liked the best.

I had a small finish last week I think it was. I saw this little doodle online the other day and just fell in love with it so I stitched it up.

This is my Starting point as of 5-15-09 for the May Facebook SAL. Lets see how much I can get done this weekend on this project.

Mis. Stuff and a finish

Thursday, April 16, 2009

This was given to me by CindyMae’s stitching corner
She has a very nice blog and always has nice comments for me. Thanks for the award.

I'm gonna take a page from her and pass this on to all whom I visit and all whom visit my blog.Thanks for all the great comments.

OK ladies I just got word that my latest MA has been received. The theme was Coffee/Tea and was given to Michelle in GREECE. My first one to go there so you can click on her name and you can see the MA I sent. I'm still waiting on mine from her and will show as soon as it comes in.

On the stitching front:
I finished this about a week ago. Not to happy with the trim job but Dennis likes it and that's what matters.

This is my current WIP and I'm doing this with a FaceBook group. Wanna try and finish it up this weekend so we will see. Right now I can't tell who it's for or what it will be. I found the Satin floss pack at Hobby Lobby last week and thought the colors would be great for flowers then when I got the pack home and opened it up I saw these cute Butterfly's on a leflet inside. Now I have two uses for the floss. Wahooo !!!!!

This is my arm after one week. Looks good if you ask me. Been putting the vitamin E oil on it several times a day and it's just about all pealed off and just a tiny pink color. For those who don't know what happened. I had a fight with the bacon at work and the bacon won...LOL I was pulling a pan of cooked bacon out the oven and there was a great amount of grease on the pan. When I turned to set the pan on the table the grease drizzled down my arm. Thus resulting in this. I ran my arm under cold water to get the grease off and then put on Lavender oil. It never boiled up just got really brown.

God Bless you all !!! Till next Time

Good Weekend & BF stitching

Tuesday, December 02, 2008

Yes !!!!!! you read that right...I finally after a year convinced Dennis to give Crosstitching a try. The first photo is the Itty Bitty Christmas tree he made into a Christmas card. He is now working on a snow flake in red. He is working with 11 count Aida because though you can teach on old dog new crafts you can't make the eye sight better....LOL
He did a really good job on this I think.

Next up we have a project that my oldest and I worked on together. I made the Santa out of clay and put the snow on the pine cones then I helped with the snowmen. Chris made the pound and then glued all the stuff to the board and helped with the snowmen.
He even took the photo.

I did my first Helga Mandl design and turned it into an ornament. This was no easy task for me yesterday. I had an upset tummy and nothing was going right with putting this together. I started out doing the beaded edge but finally ripped that out and went with the frayed edge. Helga Mandl has some freebies here if you wanna check then out. The design I did was from her SAL book that she sells on the group wXswThis was also my first stitch ever on 18 count Aida. I was always so intimidated by the smaller counts but seance Sue was so kind to send me some I had to give it a try. I must say thanks to Sue for that..as I like it very much.

Now I leave you with my ATC's. This will put an end to this project till I can get some more stitched up and Dennis has a chance to catch up...LOL
Thanks for visiting me and I hope you enjoy.

This is the start of my Angel Doll. Was watching Martha Stewart the other day and she was making Glove dolls then got an email for the craft of the day and this was the craft of the day.I still need to get the wings done and the dress needs some improving but it's not to bad for a first go.

Look look I hit the Fabric Lottery...Wazoo. Thank you Sue V. so much for it all. There was so much in the envelope that I thought it was gonna bust before I could get it open...LOL I will have plenty of fabric for a very long time now.

Yes !!! Wazoo a new finish... Snow Ho Ho is now done and made into a box. Thanks Barb K for doing this as a SAL with me. If it wasn't for the SAL I think he would have sat in the box much longer then he did. Dennis was gonna take this to his shop and put peppermints in it for the holiday's but last night he asked if he could give it to one of his good customers. Of course I said yes but sure hate to see this one go. I'll have to do another next year I guess and let this good customer have a little pleasure this year.

I was on the SMO board the other day and saw some ATC's there so decided to give it a go. This is the two I did Sunday and Monday. Guess what ??? I wasn't to thrilled with them but when Dennis come home from work he feel in love with them. They to have been taken by him for customers and he wants me to make more.

Hope you all have a great ThanksGiving and don't eat to much

4th of July finish

Friday, July 04, 2008

Oh and it's Friday too, so that's a two pointer. Hadn't even thought of that till just now. Hope you all had an enjoyable 4th of July. I sat around the house with oldest son and DBF. Seeing as I have to work tomorrow we are not doing anything tonight. Anyways I finished another Britty Kitty from my RAK gift. You can't see it in the photo but I used some of that Kreinik Blending Filament #092 in with the pink to give it some sparkle.

Next up will be Lizzie Kate- Hooray for the USA as I have decided to make me a 4th of July tree for next year. So far I have found about 4 designs to do up for this. Keep checking and see what I do.

Thanks for stopping by.

Ready Santa Done

Monday, February 04, 2008

SanMan Originals ( Ready Santa )
Completed on 2-04-08
Done on 14 count Aida
I did change the nose just a tinny bit. Just thought the heart would put a little Dawn spin on the project. This was a fast and fun stitch as I think it only took me about a week to finish. Next project will be an ornament for the ILCS contest.

Good Bye 2007

Monday, December 31, 2007

I have just counted the number of projects that I stitched in 2007 and I think my final count was 32 and then I did maybe 5 MA's on top of that. I don't know how you all fell about that but I'm excited about it. I kept a few good Friends and made some new ones towards the end of the year. Well I wanna say good bye to another good year of stitching & Thank you to all my stitching and non stitching friends.
Here is my last finish of 2007. He was a freebie found HERE. I'm happy with the way he turned out and I hope the recipient likes him as well. I pasted him onto a wooden box and will line it with felt.
Eliot the Snowman

I'm looking forward to

and continuing friendships from 2007.
And for my first start of 2008 we have a SanMan Originals group Freebie called Magic Hat. I love snowmen and Ginger bread men and this one puts both together. Right now it's just a blob of White but when I get done it will be just to cute.. That's the hope any way's.

I have once again made a stitching list that can be found on the sidebar of my blog. I'm gonna do my very best to stick to it this year.

The tree is up !!!!!!

Sunday, December 16, 2007

This was a Christmas gift from a dear friend in Malaysia.

Thank you so much To Lillie L. Do you all see my little Eeyore ? He has a little magnet on the bottom of him and thought that would sure come in handy when picking them needles up off the floor. The pattern of the ornament Lillie tells me is called Santa Paws. he is just the cutest little thing I've seen in a while. The little Kitty cat is now on my cell phone. I had one on there but this one had to take it's place.

Thank you to Lisa S. whom was kind enough to send me this pattern as part of an exchange we did with CSF group. I'm in love with the design the colors and the way it turned out. Somebody asked me what color I used so here is the answer to that.
This is a MDesighns pattern
I used a anchor floss #121
Thank you all for the great Comments. They mean so much to me.

First up is the blanket I'm working on. It's being done in the Treble Crochet Stitch. This is partly cuase I like it and partly cause I have yet to learn to read a pattern all the way through to finsih something. I have my mom helping me with the pattern reading so soon I'l at least be able to do a granny Suqare.

Next we have the first finished Square I did for my dear BF. This was done in the Afagan Stitch.
.

Next up are the Ornaments I made out of Polymer Clay. Think these were done last week but I forgot to show them.

Next up is the Snowflakes that I just finished stitching and will turn into ornaments in the next week or two

Clown Teddy

Monday, August 13, 2007

This is what I had been working on for the past two weeks. Now complete Whahoo. I'm now doing a happy dance.The pattern I ordered from Patternsonline.
I was looking for cute and cuddly and this is what I found. I have two coasters due at the beginning of September so this one along with the popcorn bear I did awhile back will now be turned into coasters. I'm gonna attempt to make coasters as I don't want to buy them premade ones unless my idea don't work out. My Idea is to take precut cork broad, plastic, polymer clay and turn it into a coaster.

Thanks for stopping by & if you leave me a comment Thanks so much!!!

Some finishes

Monday, July 16, 2007

First off I wanna say Thank you all for the outpour of prayers and concerns about our tenant. I have not heard anything other then the kids are with family and they have sense berried their mom. I don't know the outcome of how he is gonna deal with everything else but guess this is a step by step process that may take a year to work out. Just know that the prayers have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. I normally do not let my personal life interact with my blog but well once in a while it just has to. Thank you all.

The firts one is the set as I have gotten them done. The next one is the May Retro cat witch is the one I have just completed. This was started back in October when I went to Indiana to see my hometown. Then it was set aside to do other stuff. It feels pretty good to have a finish from my WIP pile.

Did the Snowman's Holiday in just 2 days time. This was a really easy and fast stitch. This was a Lizzie Kate freebie that has been on my To-Do list for a while now. Thank goodness it's done as that shortens my To-Do list a bit. Not to worry though I have a ton of projects to take it's place.

Next up is my very first Popcorn bear. This was an easy stitch and I loved doing it. The pattern was very simple to follow. The fuzzy stuff was even easy to follow unlike the Taddy Ted's.

This week I started a SAL with my CSF group but not much progress to show right now.

June Finish

Tuesday, June 12, 2007

There you have it my version of this Christmas tree.
Done on Green fabric I bought because I wasn't happy with the dyed fabric I had.
Freebie I found on-line but don't think the link works any more so I'm not gonna even try to put it on here. Lilly has done the same design so if you wanna see another version of it you can go Here. Colors I used come from my Blue color exchange partner and they are Blue Moon & Blueberry Tart Those are from

This was a three day project for me and think I might do it again soon..

I have also picked up my Cheryl's Bouquet for a few hours Yesterday too so here is the progress on that. I have now completed page one and moved on to page two.

I've also decided to go ahead and join in the next monthly stitching color exchange so more on that later. If you haven't done so already would you please sign my Guest book Located at the very bottom of my blog. That's to the ladies that have signed it already...Comments are very much welcomed and appreciated. Thanks for all of them.

Barybee

Tuesday, June 05, 2007

I had a really hard time getting a photo of him on here so sorry for the poor quality.You can see him on my webshots if you'd like a better look.

How cute is he ??? I finsihed him up last weekend but didn't have time to show him off.

I saw this on-line at http://www.graphicgarden.nu/
& thought he was just to cute. Last week I decided to stitch him up.
Stitched on 14 count Aida that I dyed myself a light pink, blue and yellow.
Though you can't really see the colors all that well.I had to improvise on the colors as the chart symbols did not match the key.

Now I've moved on to this.

I've also done a card & my Tea Time MA witch can both be shown at a different time as they are gifts and I know that one of the recipients may be reading this blog from time to time.Also I have added a map to my blog at the bottom so if you could take just a minute or to and add your location that would be great. Thanks in advance..

New finsih

Tuesday, May 15, 2007

My Garden MA exchange has arrived. Yippee I love the little pattern she put on the front and on the back was two little penguin buttons. Now I am the proud owner of 3 MA's. Incase I have never said this before I'm Addicted to the MA almost as much as Cross-Stitching itself.
On Sunday I gave mom her needle book and she liked it. There is nothing like getting to see someone’s face light up when they receive a piece you have work really hard on. I did however mess up and put the closure on the left side instead of the right but she was sweet enough to say it was just right for her as she was right handed. I love ya mom even if you are just saying that to make me fell better.
Now onto my new finish.. Yep I got it done finally. While doing the end of this one I was reading a blog and got a Q-snap tip that I tried and must say WOW!!! I put some felt on the Q-Snap from and then my fabric and then the clap thing. The felt kept the fabric stable It was cool.

Ok, I’ve been stitching but have not had anything to show till now as they have been for exchanges and I know that at least one of my partners read my blog so as not to give it away I will not post till it is received by her. Now this past weekend and today I was working on a cell phone holder for myself. Here it is…
