Freak Out!

This suits me to a T.


The Sweetheart Tree
Keep Calm and Freak Out Fob


I'll be getting it to the finisher eventually.

I have not touched any other stitching this week.  I have been kitting up several pieces, though.  Now I just have to put together my 15 sided Christmas ornament and work on VS Autumn Romance this upcoming week.  Then, I think I will do the new Just Nan Witchy Mouse.  After that, will be VS Winter Garden Sampler and Trick or Treat Sampler.  All plans are subject to change without notice.

I found a few videos on YouTube this week that I think are worth sharing.  Here is the first, Bach Trio Sonata for Oboe and Harpsichord.




Happy Stitching,

Curl Up Progress Report

The curtain is pretty much done!  I would have a page 2 fnish, but the black on the bottom corner bleeds over from pages 3 and 4, so it will be awhile before I have an official page 2 finish.  I'm going to do that black here and there while I work on the page under page 1.




It's too bad all my HAED's don't stitch up this fast!  I did pick up both Sanctuary and Dress Of Daydreams and do a (very) few stitches on both.  Not enough progress to take a picture of, though.

Happy Stitching!

Curl Up and Framed Finishes

Over halfway through page 2 now.  I love, love, love stitching this one!




And I keep forgetting to show my framed pieces I got back in June.

Dressed To Kill


I'm starting to get a little case of finishitis, I think.  I have a couple of small projects in progress that I want to finally get finished up.  I feel like I've made more progress this year than I have in a long time.  Of course, I just ordered fabric for 6 charts, so there will be no catching up any time soon!

Happy Stitching,

New Beginnings

Curl Up With A Good Book has begun.  Page 1/48 complete.




I'm having such fun stitching this one, I can't put it down!  Can we say obsession?  :D  (clicking on the picture makes it look sooooo much better!)

Off to work on page 2. 

Happy Stitching!

Another Page Finish and Socks

And I'm down to 26/28 pages now.  Unfortunately, I haven't felt much like stitching this week, so not much progress this past week.



Still aiming for an end of July finish.

But, I did finally manage to finish a pair of socks that have been on the needles since the end of December.





These are Stroll Heather Grey and Midnight Heather.  So glad to finally have them done! 

Happy Stitching!

A Holiday, A Hurricane, and 2 Page Finishes

Happy 4th of July!  The weather at the moment is gorgeous, but it certainly didn't start out that way this morning.  We got a little brush with Hurricane Arthur.  Minimal damage here, just an ugly windy, rainy wake up.  With any luck, that's the only storm we will have to deal with this year.  *fingers crossed* 

Now, on to the important stuff!

25/28 pages done on Nature's Little Helper:





And 17/77 pages complete on Sanctuary of Knowledge:






Now, this afternoon, I'm going to put a few stitches in Curl Up With A Good Book.

Happy Stitching!
