horses 3 update

Here is an update on horses 3~

~Clicky pic~

I've not got as much done as I would like to,but with spring here I've been spending more time outside working in the yard/garden, and less time stitching. :0)

I still stitch!

lol, I certainly haven't been posting much lately. With spring here I've been working outside alot and not getting nearly as much stitching done as I would like to. But here are two of my current wip's that I'm working on.






The first one is a Precious Moment pattern called Uncle Sam, I'm stitching it on 18 count aida. The second one is an artecy.com pattern called Horses 3, I'm stitching this one 1x1 on 25 count lugana.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's day this weekend~ :0)

rose dream qs finished!

At long last she's finished! I put the last few stitches in her yesterday. Now she needs a bath in the worst way, but I couldn't resist taking a pic~so here is Rose Dream quick stitch by HAED

Rose Dream

I've finally gotten back to my stitching after a small break. This is what I've been working on, it's Rose Dream qs from HAED. I'm stitching it 1x1 on 25 count fabric. I don't know exactly when I started this one, it has 6 pages and on the third page it says that I started it(the page) in August of 2008.

started something new

Well, I couldn't settle down with the sunflowers, they are pretty but just didn't "feel it" lol. So I decided that since I've finished 2 projects this year so far, I could give myself permission to start a new project. I picked Artecy.com's Horses 3, another one for Jessie. Girl loves her horses and this one is only 8 pages. Pretty small for an artecy pattern. And I'm doing it 1x1 on 25 count lugana so it will be pretty small when finished. Easier to find frames for the smaller size patterns. I'm really liking it so far, using the smaller stitches makes the details pop more in these kinds of patterns. I'll post a pic soon. So that's what I've been doing stitchy-wise, thought I'd better post something stitching related since this is supposed to be my stitching blog, and not all nascar, all the time! lol, hugs~

mixed feelings about end of race

On one hand, Dale Jr did make a great comeback, on the other hand, Carl Edwards has proven to be such a jerk that it was sad. I really like Brad Keselowski, and what Carl did to him at the end was dangerous and so uncalled for. Makes me sad, because Carl was one of the guys that I would cheer for sometimes. Not anymore.
