A Big 2012 Finish!!!

This was stitched for my mother.  Finally finished for Mother's Day!!!

Butternut Road "Catch the Wind".  I love it!  I hope she does also!

Kitties help to stitch....

I didn't know I needed help holding the chart for my current project!  But, as you can see from the upper left corner.... I have kitty chew marks!!! (they are not 'fessing up, but, I have a pretty good idea who's teeth marks those are!)  Now when I am not stitching, the chart gets hidden! 

This is a new type of project for me.  It is needlepoint and is 'Hearts and Flowers Quilt' from Nancy's Needle.  I am doing it in beige, pink, and sage colors.  It is the perfect project for stitching while watching the Masters on TV!

And, here is a picture of my adorable Ruthie!!!  She is such a little giggle bug!!!  Grandchildren are fun!  She has two little teeth hiding in there... but, doesn't show them.

Got the news yesterday at the doctors,  that I get to go back to work on the 17th, with restrictions.   Work is happy -- me?  not so much!!   Guess I'll be stitching my little heart out for the next ten days!!!  Wonder if I can get anything finished...

Happy Spring (it should show up eventually!) & Happy Stitching!!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment -- it is much appreciated!!!

Another update of stitching....

I've been stitching.... and have another finish!  This is LHN "Brave Hearts" finished on March 23, 2011.  Another UFO done!

  

And, because I finished a UFO, I stitched Just Nan "Bluebird Alphabet" that I had purchased at Camp!  Stitched with the suggested threads, and finished on March 27, 2011.

 

Then I was good, and stitched another square on the Seka's & Co. "Quilt Block Afghan".  I have been wondering how I want to do the edging on this afghan.... do I want to do the nun stitch all the way around, or do tassel fringe?  Any ideas?

 

My grand daughter, Ruthie, and my Mom came over to visit on the same day!  Here are my visitors!

I've been continuing to stitch... working on the DT Daffodil TT.  Physical Therapy is done!  (can we all yell Yahoo?!), and now just waiting on the okay to go back to work.  It will cut into my stitching time....

Until next time... Happy Stitching!

It's a new year...

I want to wish everyone that stops by a very Happy New Year! I know it's the 12th of January, but, boy... what a couple of weeks we have had here!

We have snow... lot's of snow!

DH Chuck got the lovely holiday gift of the flu on Christmas Eve. That meant canceling all plans for Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day! By the day after Christmas, he wasn't getting any better. Ran him into emergency, they put him in the hospital!! He was very dehydrated. Anyway... got him home two days later. They had pumped him so full of fluids his hands and feet had swelled. They didn't notice that his toes had split. (he is diabetic). Needless to say... he got an infection, didn't even know it, because he has minimal feeling in his feet. Let's just say... it is bad. They have taken x-rays to see how far the infection spread, and he is on heavy antibiotics, creams for the infection, and he is home with me. I have no idea when he will be able to go back to work. We go back to the doctor on Thursday.

I have been stitching some, and cleaned up the craft room a little. I got a beautiful, wonderful package from Sharon, and have taken pictures, and will share soon.

I hope to be better about posting this year....

Thank you all for stopping by!

Always & Forever

A few pictures today!

Here is a picture of what I stitched up for my nephew and his bride for their wedding:

LHN Always & Forever
Fabric: Silkweaver 32 ct. Little Lavender
Fiber: CC Aunt Marie's Violet
Did the frame puple, and then a whitewash.

And, here are pictures of my handsome nephew, Doug -- his beautiful bride, Deja, and their daughter, Charlie Ann:


This one is my sister, Reee, Deja, Doug, my BIL Tim, and my Mom.

*******************************************

This is another one I finished up... It was a kit, done on aida. I had stitched it in 2005. but just got around to putting it in the frame. I *think* it was a Linda Myers design.

Yea Detroit Red Wings!!! Winners of the 2008 Stanley Cup!!!

Thanks for stopping by! I really do appreciate it....

It was a nice summer....

Yesterday was beautiful! It got up to 80*, and was perfect for a holiday, and cookout... This morning is another story. It is 45* and windy!!! Gotta love our Michigan weather!

I was able to get out this morning and snap a picture of my beautiful yellow iris. These were a gift from my Grandmother when we moved here 20 some years ago!


And, here is a picture of my new fur-grandbaby. Rick and Kristen got a Husky puppy. His name is Diesel, but, I think he should be named Alice Cooper! Yeah... that is me holding him. :-)


Everyone have a great day! Thanks so much for stopping by...

Belated Mother's Day Gift!

I have to share this with you all. I received a belated Mother's Day gift from my son and DIL. The reason was 'the paint had to dry'. What? Lookee here!!! My DIL Kristen is quite the artist!!! (And they gave me a gift certificate to a new restaurant.)

I am now the proud owner of an original oil by Kristen Hallman. :-) Don't you love the colors?



Thanks for looking!!

Kids....

As I don't have any stitching updates... you all get pictures of my kids!!! (And not the fur-kids!)

This is my son, Rick, and his fiance, Kristen. We are very lucky she is joining our family. She is a sweetie!!



And, here is my baby, Becca. She will be a Senior in High School this year. :::Sigh::: They grow up soooo fast!!!
