Bad Doggy!

I've read about this happening to a couple of other bloggers, but I didn't think it could ever happen to me. In a tired stupor last night, I just left my stitching on the couch and went to bed. When I woke this morning, I found my dog curled up on the couch sleeping, with a bit of linen sticking out from underneath her. Shooing her off the couch, I found Mary with a million tiny wrinkles, and some hair, UGH!! It just so happens that I took my iron over to my Mom's the other day to iron out some fabric for table cloths, so I don't have it, to try to fix this. I will pick it up at Mom's later and start ironing.

Here is a small update on my Needlemania 2, part 5. It's been a while since I worked on this one and I'm about half way through, so I can't give up now.

Lastly, is another small update on my Little House Needleworks Ornament of the Month 3, He's a Flake. I gave up on this one a week ago and need to pick it up and just finish it. It is so small, it shouldn't take long.

Moving Right Along

Here's another update on my Mary Wigham Sampler. I am so pleased to have so much time to devote to stitching. The weather has also required us to stay inside more, so I don't feel too guilty about stitching so much. I have put the LHN ornament on hold for a little while till I get tired of Mary. Hope to update again soon.

Happy Stitching,

Hillery

Mary Wigham Update

Haven't been stitching much of late, but what I have done is on my Mary Wigham Sampler. I was hoping to get this piece done fairly fast. We'll see what I can get done in the next 6 weeks. After that, with the new baby and the 20 month old running around, I don't see me stitching very much.

Happy Stitching,

2 Finishes and 2 New Starts

Cream 26 Count Linen

DMC Threads

Here is my fourth finish of the year. Noel ornament by Bent Creek for The Bride's Tree SAL.

28 Count Hand Dyed Linen, Terra Cotta

DMC Threads

Next up, a new start from Wiehenburg's Yahoo group, Patchwork Quaker. I have changed up the colors quite a bit. This is originally charted in blues and purples, but it wouldn't go with my Terra Cotta fabric. This was the only fabric I had that was big enough for the project.

Permin Lambswool 32 Count Linen

DMC Threads

Another new start is my Mary Wigham. From the Needleprint blog.I am using most of the charted fibers. I might change up a couple of the lighter threads so that they show up better. These two samplers are huge, it will be a wonder if I even finish on of these this year. Considering I keep starting other smaller projects. I will not be ironing these two samplers everytime I take pics because I don't want to ruin the threads, so pardon the messiness.

Permin Lambswool 32 Count Linen

DMC Thread 115

And lastly, my fifth finish of the year, a freebie from Plum Street Samplers. Lovely You. I did not add the words on the top and I'm also not quite sure what I'm going to do with this piece yet. Maybe a box?

Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Stitching,
