DUCJFC2016 - DAY SIXTEEN

Yesterday's start is another Christmas ornament from LHN's The Sampler Tree Ornament Series - Oh Christmas Tree.

I love LHN's ornament designs and can't resist buying each series she releases.

It is another cold day here so it will probably be another day of stitching, reading and watching TV.

Rake care and happy stitching.

Thank you for visiting!!!!!

 

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccck!

As least I hope this won't be a false start and that I will continue to post on a more regular basis. I don't really know why I stopped, probably just a combination of "life" and laziness.

I wish you all the best of the season and I hope you are all doing well and that it continues to be so in the New Year.

I going to start with some of my finishes since my last post, way back when. Most of these have been completed within the last month. I didn't stitch much over the summer (another reason for not posting - nothing to show.)

 I started the following back in January as part of the DUCJC 2015 (Debbie's Ultimate Crazy January Challenge 2015). I kind of stop working on it as the summer approached but at the beginning of November I took it with me to a craft camp which inspired me to finish which I did November 29, 2015. It is "99" by Ink Circles. I stitched it on the suggested fabric 32ct Ale from Picture This Plus. with DMC cotton.

One finish I did manage back in June is Tribal Maple Leaf © White Willow Stitching.

I stitched it with CC Fallen Leaves.


Some more recent finishes are 3 Christmas ornaments -  Snow Love & Christmas Cheer © Country Cottage Needleworks and Hallelujah © Little House Needleworks.

My final finish is one of the 2 charts in Harvest Hunt "Britty Kitties" © Brittercup Designs - Kitty on Pumpkin.  (I hoping to have the other one - Kitty with Ghosts - finished before hitting the sack tonight.)

Well, that is it for now.  I will be back soon with some WIP pics, some challenges for next year and hopefully some more finishes.

Take care and happy stitching!!!!

Thank you for visting!!!!

Weekly Update - Another WIP/UFO is finished

Well another WIP/UFO bites the dust. This one is from Blackbird Designs - Loose Feathers Club called Garland Fair. I started it in 2011 and put the last stitch in this weekend.

My Just Nan/Charland Designs piece Side by Side is progressing along quite nicely.  I finished Part I last night and now I am ready to start on Part II.

I really love working on this piece and can't wait to see it finished.

My goal for next weekend is to have the following 2 pieces finished.

After finishing Garland Fair  I pulled  out 2 LHN Sheep Virtues - Peace & Simplicity  from the WIP/UFO basket and started working on them.

My weekly stitching progress but as often happens - LIFE!!!!!!!!!!

So here I am a couple of days later.

I finished the last in the Hearts of Canada series - Ontario.

Now that this WIP/UFO is finished I pulled another one out of my pile - Garland Fair by Blackbird Designs (Loose Feathers #16).  This one I started a few years back.

My other WIPs are also coming along nicely.

Long weekend - more stitching time.

Had an extra long weekend so there was lots of time to get some stitching in.

First on the plate was a new start.  An internet stitching friend, Shelley, announced on FB Friday that after a long stitching drought she finally picked up her needle again and was stitching a collaboration chart called Side by Side © 2003 Just Nan/Charland Designs.  I have had this kitted up for some time now to do as a SAL with someone so after spending quite a bit of the weekend looking all over the house for the chart (only to finally find it in the basket of WIPs I had sitting beside my stitching area)I started to stitch on it Sunday evening.   This is my progress so as of yesterday.  It is the first of 24 bands.

The chart has various hues of purple which is Shelley's favourite colour as well as mine

In homage to all the snow we have received this winter I also pulled out an WIP from 2012 - LHN's Snowflake. Instead of bitching about the snow, I am going to stitch it.

I also made a little more progress on Beary Merry Christmas! and Peace.

 All in all it was a very good weekend.

Take care and happy stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
