Two finishes!

I don't have hardly any finishes for the year, and now I have two in one night!!! Please excuse my poor excuse for photography.

Let me present....

Molly by Carriage House Samplings

Recommended fabric and threads

October Word Play by With Thy Needle and Thread

Recommended threads/fabric unknown

What to stitch next?? Inspired by Margaret's A&E wall, I am thinking I might focus on finishing my Paradise Lost By Plum Street Samplers. Here is where I have last left off with this particular project...

I have quite a few A&E designs in my stash. Maybe it is time I concentrate on creating an A&E wall of my own. :)

A little sneaky peek of a blanket that I am knitting.

Petey says "Happy Stitching!"

Headless Molly....

Is headless no more! :) And a little birdy has landed on the cat's head.

My snow/all-day-stitch-athons have come to an end. It is back to work tomorrow. I am glad and sad. I will miss the time at home, but I do not want to go all summer. These snow days are edging the end of school a little too close to our already scheduled vacation to Disney. So far, so good, and maybe this will be the end of it, I hope.

I am off to stitch while watching American Idol and Lost. I will do more watching than stitching with Lost, I am sure (or I will be lost! LOL!). Any Lost fans out there?

Happy Dance!

She's finished!! Actually I finished her last weekend, but I have been such a slug about blogging that I am just now posting a picture.

Carriage House Samplings

Mary Margaret

32 ct. Lakeside Linen Vintage Autumn Gold

Needlepoint Silk

Began 4/11/09

Finished 5/16/09

I really enjoyed stitching this one. Unlike me, I actually stitched this start to finish without stopping to work on something else. I promptly started Molly the same day that I finished Mary Margaret. I have a little progress to show. I also started Primitive Needle's Earth Sampler last night.

We just returned from an overnight. DH is taking a weekend class at WKU. Jake and I went along to hang out at the hotel and swim in the pool. I also made a quick trip to Hobby Lobby. I bought some 32ct. cream Zwiegart to stitch LK's ABC Lessons. They had several packages of MCG Textiles 32 ct. Natural linen marked down from $16.99 to $6.11. I thought that was a pretty good deal. I have never used this type of linen before but it seems to be soft and has a good feel. It's also huge--30"x36". I also grabbed several colorful aida bookmarks that had been clearanced. Love a bargain! :)

I have 3 school days left (with kids) and 4 work days total. Summer break is almost here. To say that I am excited is a bit of an understatement. :)

Looking forward to a long Memorial Day weekend. I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for those who serve and have served our country and those that have given their lives in order that we might have freedom. Several of my own family members are included in that sentiment. 

Have a safe, happy weekend. I plan to stitch...how about you?
