A Week of Finishes!!!!!!!!

I had a another productive week of stitching and managed several finishes.

First off I have finished off both the items for an exchange I am participating in this month (sorry no pics yet). Since the mailing date is set for the end of the month, I am really pleased to have them done already.

Next, I finished 2  more ornaments - one for Christmas and one for Halloween.

and finally the  pièce de résistance - I finished the L*K Holly & Hearts Mystery Sampler Club.

 

I have now pulled out another WIP from last year - Forget-me-not Sampler © 2013 With thy Needle and Thread - to work on.  I will also be starting another LHN ornament - Saltbox Village.  I am still working on the Dimension kit - Beary Merry Christmas!  I have the 2nd bear almost finished.

Well, I am off to get some more stitching in and to re-watch the miniseries - Brideshead Revisited (1981).

Take care and happy stitching!!!!

Making progress!!!!

Since my last post, I have been very productive stitchwise! (We won't get into the lack of productivity in the rest of my life! ;) )

I finished another Christmas ornament - LHN's Pine Tree Inn.  This one is #8, which makes me feel pretty good since it is not even the end of January yet.   As I mentioned earlier, my goal is have at least 15 done by Christmas.

and I am almost finished stitching the L*K Holly & Hearts Mystery Sampler.  If all goes well, I should have it  done by the end of the week.  I really love the colours in this sampler.

I  also started another LHN ornament - Six Little Cardinals.  This one is almost finished so that will be #9. (Jumping up and down with joy right now!!!)

My final current stitching project (outside of one that I am doing for a exchange) is the Beary Merry Christmas! ornaments.  I am still working on the 2nd bear.

That is it for now.  I will be back on Thursday (barring any unforseen circumstances) with my TUSAL update.

Happy Stitching!!!!!!!

All in all a very productive IHSW

The only plans I had this weekend besides stitching and reading is to pack away my Christmas decorations, so it was the perfect weekend for IHSW.

I managed to get a lot of stitching done and all my Christmas decorations are packed away for another year. First off, I finished the LHN complimentary pattern - Seven Pines and even finished it into an ornament.

While I had the sewing machine out, I finished the last  Becky Boo's Let it Snow snowman and L*K's Scary (from the 2012 Very Scary Mystery Sampler) into ornaments.

I also finished the 2nd Part of the L*K Holly & Hearts Mystery Sampler and made a start on Part 3.

 

I then pulled out another WIP from a few years back.  It is a Dimensions kit call Beary Merry Christmas!   It consists of 6 bear ornaments on plastic canvas.  I had 1 ornament finished already and now have started on the 2nd one.

 

Lastly, I started another LHN ornament - Pine Tree Inn.

 I hope you all had a great weekend.  Take care and happy stitching!!!!!!!!!

iStitch 2013 Sew Advent completed

I finished the iStitch Designs 2013 Sew Advent on Sunday.

Since I finished it this year I changed the year at the bottom from 2013 to 2014.

In keeping with my resolve to finish up more of my WIPs/UFOs I pulled out the Lizzie*Kate Holly & Hearts Mystery Sampler Club that I was working on before Christmas. I have made a page listing my WIPs/UFOs. Although I am  up to 16 already, I still have a lot more to add. (Yes, I do have a serious case of startitis.)

 

This is where I am as of today.   I am almost finished Part Two.

I also finished the 4th Snowman from Becky Boo's "Let It Snow" today.  I will post a pic when I make it into an ornament.   My next ornament will be LHN's 2013 complimentary chart - Seven Pines.

Well that's my update for today.  Take care and happy stitching!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for visiting!!!!!!!

The momentum is still going!!!

I had a very productive week stitch wise.

First off, I managed to finish Part I of the L*K Holly & Hearts Mystery Sampler and made a good start on Part II.  Which is a good thing since Part III is currently on its way to me.

I also finished stitching the LHN Tree Farm ornament and L*K Scary bonus design from last year's Very Scary Mystery Sampler.   I will post a picture of the Tree Farm once I have made it into an ornament.   I am currently working on LHN's Gingerbread Cookie.

This weekend I pulled out the wall hanging projects I  have been meaning to work on for ages. The sewers and quilters from last weekend's retreat inspired me.   One is for a Christmas Exchange I am participating in so I can't post a pic yet but the other one is the L*K Very Scary Mystery Sampler.  I just need to top stitch around the cross stitched piece and add a hanger.

The following are 3 other wall hangings I want to make.   I going try to make the Twas the Night Before Christmas by Christmas (a novel idea, right) and the other 2 before the end of the year.   The one with VS Hearts of Canada series will include all the provinces, territories, and the International Hearts - Canada & Germany.  I have them all stitched except for Ontario (which I am currently working on) and Germany.   I am so glad I got these kits before they were discontinued.

It is getting late and I should be getting some shut.   Take care and happy stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!!
