I think you might find it irresistible too

lots of stitching today

but no break to press the blocks

I promise to share tomorrow

then I'll start putting them together

in to little quilts

A Few Stitches...

cross stitch pieces

walnut stained and dried

ready to be finished...

designs by

Betty Dekat

Stacy Nash

Lori Brechlin

another stitchery

from an old pattern

Melrose

wondering why

my stuff is in his way...

that's the

bunny watching bench

next to the clover patch outside

~~~

Olivia?

she's hiding under the bench

afraid I'll snag her up

and

take her to the vet again

To Hook or Stitch?

I've been hooking this week

working on a log cabin rug...

the little quilt

is one made a few years ago

now being passed on to a friend

Another OOP chart

going up on eBay tonight

a very cozy girl

Cross Stitch Stash

Over the years I have

pared down my chart stash considerably

there are a few

I've kept knowing

they won't be stitched

These two are going

up on eBay tonight

just in case they are worth

a few bucks...

What do you have

sitting around

that someone else

might be looking for?

Under the Weather

Starting with a cold
ending with

conjunctivitis

plus all points in between

the past 2 weeks have been misery

Besides all the coughing

up a lung or two

I haven't been up to

stitching or hooking the whole time

I know...

sick is one thing

idle hands

takes it to a whole

different level

Finally today I'll be

picking up my hook or needle

still can't decide...

Here are a few

book and pattern purchases

made this year

that kept me planning

the next project

Can you guess which one

is going to be used first?

from
PrimitiveBettys

we have a new baby in the family

and there is a

Monkey Business quilt

in here that has

his name all over it!

Another great Cheri pattern

from

Stacy Nash

her latest booklet

Love Letters

Stitching Stacy Nash

I so love this Stacy Nash

design~ had to stitch it twice

once on cream

once on mushroom linen

finally finished them in to

needlecases

for prizes long overdue...

another Stacy Nash design

finished as a pinkeep

stuffed with wool batting

given as RAK treat

there are plenty more

stitched pieces

waiting to be finished...

good thing for my

3x cheater glasses

or I'd only be able to hook

My Lack of Attention ...

From Stacy Nash's latest booklet

using floss on hand

Another Stacy design

with some variation of the

colors and elements

crow instead of owl

and there will be

a cat

instead of peacock

Yet another Stacy design

changing this one too...

you'll just have to wait and see

This is a design from:

http://www.pineberrylane.com/catalog.php?item=148

Off to a slow start
because

there are regular and petite stitches...
regular is over 2 threads
petite is over 1 thread

I will be changing that
~my eyes and fingers
can't handle those tiny stitches~

Seems I have

Adult onset

Attention Deficit Disorder

keep starting new projects

and finishing none

There are 4-5 more

x stitch pieces

for gifts

I'm not showing...
