Halloween Stitching


someone got carried away with those pumpkins!
I combined 2 Pineberry Lane patterns

Winter Sampler 

by Birds of a Feather

this will be tea dyed

there are cream snowflakes

I chose to use one color instead of the two called for

the bottom area is very personalized




 more Pineberry Lane stitching
I absolutely love her

*****

time to clean up my stitching mess
so I can do some hooking and finishing

Happy Gorgeous Weather !

Fall and Halloween Stitching

design by SubRosa on etsy



 Boo
by Hello From Liz Mathews
in the latest edition 
Punch Needle and Primitive Stitching

*****

a couple of things...

great lighting and cheaters make all the difference
when cross stitching

I'm actually hooking again
and working on fully finishing some of my stitches

Can't Stop Stitching

stitching finished on Walk the Old Paths

by The Pinkeep

a few changes to the name row

I added my Grandmother's first name

year of birth and an extra bird




 CROW
by Folk Art Sampler
from 2006
I stitched many of these for sale and gifts in the long ago

came across the chart going through the last
container from the wool room
there were also half a dozen Stacy Nash booklets and charts



another from the 
Old Cats and Friends
by Pineberry Lane
just fun!!!

*****
I have two recommendations for flosstube
after watching many videos from different stitchers
they aren't going to make you crazy to go buy things
I have learned much from both and enjoy their personalities

far and above is Kitten Stitcher
Theresa is a designer and has an online shop
start with her first flosstube and keep on going
her love of cats certainly helps too

Mountain Crafts Studio is presented
by Christine, she is a master of many things
her collection of antiques is a joy to see

A nice break from murder mysteries and CSI

Hope you're having a good week.
I got my car back from the shop today
so very glad I have a 0% credit card

Wool Work


 Stella
this wonderful doll was purchased for me by Mom
in the mid 90's
on loan to my sister for years
she needs some TLC
she's been overseeing my work in the sewing room
 

this is another cupboard
I'd like to see a different color
 yesterday it was just a drop off point


today wool waiting to be dyed
resides on the bottom shelves
on top...


this is my fall decorating
everything else is stored away


sad but true
