I was busy yesterday!!!

Beside making my long overdue blog post yesterday I also managed to clean and finish decorating a bathroom (please note that my Nutcrackers even invade my bathrooms), clean my refrigerator, do some laundry, sort out my plastic food containers (disposing of those without lids), and baked pretzels, dog biscuits, choux pastry and mini quiche lorraine tarts.  I also finished Harvest Hunt - Kitty with Ghosts (Brittercup Designs) and put a few stitches in the 2007 PS Santa (although I had to frog some of them out as I discovered an error I made back in February when I last worked on it.)

With all this I managed get in over 10,000 steps without leaving the house.  It helps that I live in a 3-level split with a basement.  The kitchen is on the top floor, the laundry room on the third and the freezer in the basement.  I was up and down the steps a lot yesterday.

I had three more finishes that I forgot to post yesterday.  (Gosh, I was a lot busier than I thought.) The first is a chart by Stitchers Anon.  It was part of her Holmsey Hare Hop she hosted on her Facebook group - Holmsey Hare Haven.  I finished it in October.  The next I stitched in November for an Christmas Exchange.  It is called  Peace by Lindsay Lane Designs (2015 JCS Special Christmas Issue). The last one I stitched and finished earlier this month.  It is Yellow Penquin by Casey Buonaugurio Designs that was published in the JCS 2013 Special Christmas Issue. I stitched it  for my niece (who loves penquins).   She recently moved with her partner to BC and won't be home for Christmas.

Wow!  I can't believe I managed to post 2 days in a row!!!!!!!  I will leave you now as I want to get back to my PS Santa and hopefully make up what I had to frog.

Take care and happy stitching!

Thank you for visiting!!!!!!

  

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
