20160119 Painting With A Twist and 1st Finish 2016

Kim and me - Wicked Willow

My Finished Painting

So this is a picture of my Painting with a Twist Event.  There was 16 of us in our group, celebrating my nieces birthday.  I have two pictures - my completed picture to the left and above a picture of my friend - who won 2nd prize for her painted on mustache - and myself (right).


Below you will see my Final Winterlogy - all done - My first finish of 2016 and yes it is sideways - this must be a camera setting and have something to do with the original picture - I will continue to try to figure out what's up with that. Below this picture is my update for Woodland Sampler - Started in 2013, and is my WIP for the month of January 2016.  I did a little knitting over the weekend, dealt with a broken furnace and a serious snow fall.  Monday we had a holiday Martin Luther King day - which was great, and I cleaned up my craft room, and I found 4 more unfinished projects.  Do I make every effort this year to finish these WIPs?  We will see what the days bring.

1st Final 2016   

This is sideways too.  I really am happy with my progress on this one.

I actually spent time working on my Small for the Small Sal 2016  But no pictures of it yet.

Stay true to you...

Winterlogy - Almost Done

January is fast flying by.  I really like the Winter months in Central New York - everything but sometimes the driving.

We have not had any snow yet - some predicted for tonight and tomorrow which means driving conditions are excellent and I had no trouble getting to my LNS, A Stitchers Garden

I am a lover of Cardinals.

 It's something I inherited from my mom.  So when I received my new copy of Cross Stitch and Needlework I knew I just had to do this project.  And It is Peace on Earth.  SERIOUSLY!! This really has my name all over it.  It is a Cottage Gardens Samplings  I really like Vinniey Tan's designs.

So this will be my one new start for 2016 and I purchased the fabric and threads (plus a few other things) this weekend.

Up top is a picture of Winterlogy which is almost done - have to fill in some of the ice block outlines and the snow on the last block on the right.  I was so planning on having this finished by now, but oh well.

Looks like this weekend will continue to be fun filled, I am attending a Painting with a Twist  Event on Saturday.  It is for my nieces birthday celebration.  We have a great time when we do this, I will share a picture of my creation along with one of what it is suppose to look like next post.

Stay safe
