Periwinkle - Cross Stitch

One week completed with page 1.  Finished the 6th row (4800+ stitches) this afternoon & I have started the 7th row of 10.  I honestly just can't say how much I love doing this one and am already thinking with dread of going back to the Dragon Rip.  Oh well.  Work, work, work.

Pineapple Plant

I had originally potted this plant 3/11/14.  In 1 1/2 months it has grown so much that it needs a new pot.  Hubby on his way to the store to get me one.  Growing fast :0)

Periwinkle - Cross Stitch

WOW...just started her 4 days ago.  Have completed over 3000 stitches but to be honest with you, who's counting.  Top 3 rows of page 1 completed.  There are 10 rows per page.  I can't say enough how much I also love this one.  The pattern, the fabric.  There just are the right words to describe this one :0).  1st picture is my completed work so far, 2nd picture is what the finished project will look like/

Dragon Rip - cross stitch

Love the pattern, can't stand the fabric.  Please remind me to never purchase dublin fabric ever again.  Even though I have a rotation he is my every other one.  My goal was to do 3 pages each turn, but the fabric just drives me crazy.  So now just working 1 page at a time.  The 1st shot is 9 pages completed.  The 2nd shot is a close up of page 7 which was just recently completed.

Elf In Wood

I can't say enough how much I love this one.  I have completed 2 pages of 36.  Love the colors & the fabric.

Mish Mosh of Finished Cross Stitches

This is "Beauty is in the eye of the beeholder".  Received back from the framer 1/5/14

"Hog Mud", framed this one myself

"Hog Wash", framed myself & believe it or not hangs in my laundry room

I don't remember what this one is called.  I had stitched this many years ago & had given it to my mom for Christmas.  She actually cried when she received.  After she passed away another family member gave it back to me.  I have then given it to my daughter and she will be passing it down to her daughter later in life.

"Santa & Cat".  I had framed this one myself & did a terrible job.  So took it to the framers.  Received it back 1/15/14.  Just a plain black frame :0)

"Scarecrow & Witch".  Wow this one gave me a HARD time.  I had to start over with it 3 times.  That moon was the culprit.  I guess I can't count past 3.

"Underwater Lottery".  I had originally purchased this project for my mother.  We don't know what happened but somehow she started collected little stuffed animals reindeers for Christmas.  She wasn't but other people kept giving them to her.  One day we were standing there looking at this pile of mess and we just couldn't stop ourselves from laughing.  Then it dawned on one of us, most of them were moose.  So when I saw this I had to stitch.  Sadly before I could get to it she had passed.  I didn't have the heart to stitch it until just recently.  So here it is.  It is one of my faves.

Well that is it for these.  I have others completed just not framed.  My goal is to get one framed every month.  I am currently working on 3 large projects so will be busy for quite sometime.

Started this lovely little guy 12/25/12 and finished him 3/5/14.  Glad I got him finished & he has been framed.  My goal on completing him was set for 12/25/14, so I rocked.  Here he is completed

Hello Again to my Blog :0)

It's been a long time since I have been here.  Back in November & December we had 2 litter of puppies.  The 2nd litter had to be bottled fed and I barely had time to breathe.  After awhile I just really didn't give this blog much thought.  Today I thought, you know why not.  It's a place where I can talk to myself.
