Recently I've joined a stitching group called Magical Stitches. I've already got myself on a fantastic rotation but man I will say when I am faced with a challenge or in the case "homework" I really work my tail off.
I ran Monday and cooked and cleaned and sat and let me tell you, I told my husband "I'm not stopping till I hit 500 stitches" well we watched The Voice and guess what I got 500 stitches on my Trick or Treat HAED and I did that three more times this week.. I am very pleased with what I got accomplished.. Before and After I might be able to make a page finish happen by the send of April.
This week a focus piece was Amid Amish Life from Cross Stitch & Country Crafts July/August 87 Issue. I've always loved this pattern but when It came out I was in no place to do it. I found these issues at a second hand store and quickly retrieved them and started them right away. I can see this being finished this year and is a focus for the year. I will continue to work on it this next week to see if I can get further along.. I am trying to work this into some Magical Stitches and did make 500 stitches in this piece this week. Very happy with my progress on this piece.
Last year when we moved from Alaska to Pennsylvania I was missing my flowers and my flower gardens and you name it. One thing you don't know about me is that I love gardening. I missed it and as soon as it started getting warmer I was in the store ready to start planting. Here is my porch and a photo of one of our flowers we planted. Oh one other thing is I absolutely love photography and enjoy seeing things through a different perspective.
Some of you have seen photos of my grandson but recently my daughter came to visit and my grandson is here visiting. How can a grandmother stitch when she is holding her grandbaby? I've been enjoying having them and watching him grow up is so amazing. He is talking up a storm and smiling all the time. This was the first time he fell asleep in my arms... I've loved having them around.. I will soak up as much as I can because I know they will leave soon.
I've enjoyed my stitchy week!! I hope your week was productive and full of stitchy goodness. I hope next week something inspires you and you are out of stitchy control..
HAPPY STITCHING
