Loving You For A Friend

I stitched LHN Always and Forever for my friend and co-worker Rhonda.
Her wedding was Saturday. I chose a 32 count linen and Soie Cristale silk floss by Caron. I framed it in a white frame. It stitched up so fast and esay with the silk floss although I had to do a little frogging. For some reason my concentration was off. lol.

This is my 4th finish for the year. I am diligently stitching some every day but don't have any real progress to share. I stitched the most on Ira Ray Crow. I think he will be my next finish.

TUSAL and A John Deere

First off I want to say that for the time being I am moderating comments on my blog. Someone from China posted about 8 porn comments a couple days ago. They were scattered all the way back to the first of the year. I had to go in and delete them.

Wow! I truly don't know where the time is going. It is zipping by so fast. I am always on the count down on my work schedule. Work three days, off two, work two days, off two and than back to work three days. Does it seem like I am living for my days off? lol.

I just finished my two day weekend and now I have three days to work and am off Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. So that means that the rest of my shopping and stitching is going to have to be done in the mornings before 11 o'clock.

It looks like it is going to be a pretty day today. Temperature is 31 degrees and supposed to get up to 55 degrees. I think I can handle that. lol

I have had fun this year with the Totally Useless SAL that Yoyo has done a fantastic job in starting and organizing. She is continuing the SAL for 2010 and is taking signups now. If you didn't participate this year please stop by and join in the fun. If you did join us this year you need to stop by and sign up for 2010.


It seems like I am always late in posting when the New Moon comes around and Yoyo has to give me a little nudge. So anyhow here is the last Picture of my Kitty Bowl. I wanted to put a red bow around here neck and dress her up for the holidays but, didn't have time to search for ribbon. I collect tins so the poinsettia is the lid to a tin that I am keeping my latest ornament projects in.

BTW, that is a pretty big bowl so give me a break OKAY? I am searching for the perfect container for next year. Maybe a wee tiny one hehe, so it looks like I am making a lot of progress.

One of my coworkers, Rhonda likes John Deere stuff so I went on a mission to find some John Deere fabric. I had in mind to sew up some ornaments but when I got one put together, it didn't show the design at all so I am going what to do? So I just finished it this way. I put dark green fabric on the back and made some twisted braid using green and yellow.

I hope to finish up Cat In Snowman's Clothing and the first ornament in Little House Needleworks Sal by Christmas. I will show some Pictures.
