From A UFO To A F...

as in FINISHED!! Puppy Love, the Disney kit that sat for so long that Mickey and Minnie thought I had forgotten about them, is done! I put the last of the backstitching in last night and I am very happy to be able to say that I finished it!

Now I just can't wait to get them framed and hung on the wall.

It must be the week for finishes becuase I finished the French Country Heart as well:



I'm still not quite sure what I am going to do with it. My stitching friend said that she would help me frame it, but I can't find a square frame at the craft stores. Heck, I can't find any frame that I think would be a good color for it! I may have to order one from the my LNS, even though I was hoping not to have to go that route.


So, now I guess it's back to the table runner, which is a little more than half finished, and then I think that the HAED will have to make an re-appearance in my life. Sigh. I know I am almost finished with the page that I had been working on, but the part that I am up to is all confetti stitches. I'm not really looking forward to it. But, as one of my friends wrote on Facebook this morning, the word of the day is "persevere." If I'm going to get this done in my lifetime, I have to persevere.


Anyone out there ever finish a HEAD? How long did it take you?

wow you have been a busy stitching girl. Love the Disney one and can't wait to see it framed. The FCH is a beauty also. Have fun with a frame for it. I am looking for a square frame too and am going to hit the thrift stores today in hopes of a good find or three...

A Book, Some Ornaments, and a Giveaway!

Image
This is my 100th post! To celebrate, I have decided to have a giveaway, but there will be more on that later. I just finished a GREAT book. I have a neighbor who loves to read like I do, and we have very similar tastes in books. She lent me "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. It takes place in 12th century England. In the beginning introduces several groups of characters and as the book goes on, you see how all of these characters and their lives intertwine with each other. It was slow in the beginning, but as I got more into it, it was one of those books that I had a really hard time putting down. The neighbor who lent it to me told me that there is a sequel to it! She is reading that right now, and promised that I could borrow it when she is done with it. Hurray! A new book to read! I have not gotten a great deal of stitching done this week. A few stitches here, a few stitches there, but not much more than that. The reason? I had four ornaments that I needed

A Quiet Sunday

Image
Yesterday we had the joy of going to watch our niece swim in a meet at a local university.  We were up and out early, and with a quick stop at Starbucks to fuel our morning, we were off!  It was great to watch her compete and spend the day with her family.  I worked last night, which is a rare thing for me on a Saturday night, so it was a long day.  Today we're keeping it quiet.  Z has homework to finish, MJ is streaming something on Netflix, and after baking, doing laundry, and vacuuming the house, I am stitching.  My usual stitching spot gets cold and drafty in the winter at times, so I bought myself a birthday present: a new Ott Light, and I created a second stitching space for myself. If you've read my blog before you know we're big Disney fans in this house.  I came across a chart recently that I told myself I could not do without!  It was a quick start and finish, and I'm glad I was able to get it done before Valentine's Day I will probably le

And The Cake Was...

Image
I guess I'm really predictable because someone guessed that my birthday cake was a panda. Hmmm! How did you ever figure that out?? This must be a guy thing because my husband, my oldest son, and my friend's husband all asked me the same thing: are you going to cut the head off first? That poor bear. But he was really tasty! Me, next to the cake: This is my uncle (my later dad's brother) and I was really happy that he, his wife, Debbie, and my Aunt Rosalie (who I did not get a picture of!) were there for the party. They live about 4 hours away, so it was a hike for them to get here, but they came to see me and I was thrilled! This weekend Lazy Daisy is having a Superbowl Sale on Saturday and I was supposed to get together with three of my friends and go shopping there. I have a gift certificate and some birthday money that are just dying to be used. Guess what? We're supposed to get MORE SNOW!!!!! Because we haven't had almost three feet of snow already thi
