Teresa Wentzler, the castle


Here is my latest new start, Teresa Wentzler's the Castle. I'm stitching this one on 28 count white monaco. So far I'm really enjoying it even though almost all of the colors are blended. I'm wondering how long it would take to stitch all of her dragon designs?! I do love a challenge, lol!

Happy Thanksgiving


I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving! We had a good time, drove to my mother's on Thanksgiving day and had another dinner with the inlaws on Friday. Everyone behaved themselves, which is surprising at the inlaws lol!

Say hello to Puppy and her babies! She had 6 puppies on the morning of the 29th, she's tucked inside a sleeping bag at the moment, nice and toasty warm~


It's turned cold, only going to be about 40 degrees today. At least it isn't snowing or sleeting. I haven't forgotten last years icestorm. Since the leaves have all fallen off the trees you can see all the damage still left from last year, I guess it will take a few years for the trees to come back from all that. I'm ready for spring again.


I've started my first large Teresa Wentzler pattern, the castle is the name of it. It's a really cool dragon wrapped around a castle. Most every symbol is a blended color so it's slow going but I'm really enjoying it. Haven't stitched enough for a picture yet but soon~

burden update

Here is Burden with another page finished! It's the short page on the right side at the bottom. I'm going to follow down to the end of the pattern on that side, then go sideways to finish it up. There are only 1 & 1/2 pages left to go until the bottom-whoohoo! lol

My Big Toe/Quaker Seasons wip

This is my newest start, Quaker Seasons by My Big Toe. I'm stitching this one 1x1 on 22 count hardanger with Vikki Clayton silks. I'm using the premiums from d-bags that I've gotten with several orders over the summer so the colors aren't going to match exactly with what the pattern calls for. I'm still working on Burden as well, I've gotten 8 of 25 pages complete on him.

Completely unrelated to stitching-today is November 4th! I voted, did you?! hugs Christine
