2015 Posting some Stitching.

First my Coffee Shop Finish

These are some of the projects I started back in 2013 or earlier.  I have done a bunch of stitching since my last post - which was a very long time ago -  This post contains pictures of my projects I had started the last time I blogged.

Christmas Is by Waxing Moon

This is my Santa's Village - and because I just can't imagine trying to do this as one piece anymore, I finished Santa's house without the bottom border.

Here is my finished Santa Stocking - hanging up on my kitchen cupboards in my house - yes my cupboards do have painted apples on them.

The Town of Halloween

Is FINISHED!!!! So I had to blog.    This is one of the my Crazy 2013 Challenge - a new start this year.  I loved Stitching this - it is in the 2012 JCS Halloween Issue.  I found it hard to keep count - so there is a bunch of Special Mindy Adjustments.  I wanted it finished before Halloween and I really want to do something with it so I can display.    Hope to get back into blog reading and posting soon. 

Hope you are all enjoying this Autumn Season and life brings you more laughter than tears.

Stitching Updates

Update on One of my January Challenge Projects - Town of Halloween.  this is about 60% completed now, and it won't be hard to have this finished in time for Halloween.  I visited Salem Mass while I was on Vacation last week  - thought it was a good week to stitch some witches..

Town of Halloween Just Cross Stitch Halloween 2012

I have finished the roof. This SAL group is Growing every week. Please check out two wonderful blogs, Debbie's and Linda's to find out all about this SAL and see all the updates.

Bothy Threads Cut Thru - Monday Sal. 

It just so happens, Debbie is having a give away - she is giving away a chart Let's Do Coffee.
I have this chart already, it is one of my WIPS from the Crazy January Challenge.  This is a wonderful chart and I have not finished it yet, but it does stitch up quick.  I did visit two Needlework Shops on my Vacation. 

Bush Mountain Stitchery 87 W. Brookfield Rd, North Brookfield, MA 01535 774-449-8090 or 877- 987-5464

And Battenkill Stitchery in Arlington Vermont.  Battenkill does not have a website.  They were very different, but both were wonderful.  The shop owners were there, and they are wonderful women.  I will compose a post soon with more details, and a couple of pictures. 

Snow People February Update

February Update

It is surprising to me that I have been able to stay on track with my Snow people SAL, but I am really having fun stitching these guys.  Fingers Crossed I will be able to keep up. 

This is the very tiny ornament I did for my 2013 Ornament SAL.  I did start this as one of my Crazy Cross Stitch 15.  I should have posted on 1/30, so hope it is not too late.  I have one goal for 2013, and that is to finish off all my ornaments and hang them on the tree..... Fingers Crossed.





Town of Halloween January Update

My job is easier, but still as crazy, I am figuring out the new boss, one day at a time - but I still have those ten hour days, so this has been a great stitch - as there are only two colors and it seems to go faster, and it just is more relaxing for me.

I have put her away for now, and I am  not sure what I will be stitching next, but hope to keep some extra time this weekend for stitching.  I have work tomorrow, and wedding stuff as my daughter is getting married in August, and there seems every weekend there is something to do.

Super Bowl Sunday - as I don't care who really wins, I hope it is a well played game and it stays exciting to the end. 

It was a crazy week here weather wise - for you guys too?  We had 62 on Wednesday and a blizzard with lots of snow today. 

Had a eye opening experience this week at the Car Dealer - took the trunk in for Oil change, and as I was sitting in the waiting area with others, I was shocked to overhear so many people's phone conversations.  My goodness, I know all about one persons Commission checks and sales reports, another persons kids, and another persons deadlines at work.  Made me think a little, I wonder just how many people I have shared my personal business with???

Stay warm and safe.
