Stitch Goals

My cousin got married about two weeks ago. I knew he was getting married beforehand. I got a pretty invitation and am friends with him and his now wife on Facebook. I got to see all their plans and loved her hashtag #becomingborel That's how I know they have a pet pig. Knowing all this, I decided I wanted to make them something as a wedding gift. And besides, Nikki said they didn't really need anything since it's a second wedding for both of them. So, I found this adorable cross stitch pattern by Plum Street Samplers called Snort Stack and I knew it would be perfect for them. 


Which leads me to this post and the sentence I started it with - my cousin got married a couple weeks ago. I am not finished with the cross stitching to give them their gift.  So, my weekend stitch goal is to at least finish the bottom pug and the flowers on the side. 


I may not make those goals though since I am going to Tuscaloosa to see Harley and Mallory today.  I'm making them gumbo. But I have my cross stitch with me so while it's cooking I'll try to get some stitches in. 

Speaking of stitching,  let me give you a quick update on my other projects.  

Pumpkin Cottage by Country Cottage Needleworks is coming along nicely. That was my Sunday stitch last week. I have the most adorable wooden pumpkin to finish it on. 


I worked some more on Kringles and the September Trucking Along,  but don't have pictures. I'll take some tomorrow and share. Now I need to run!

Until next time!

Hello October!

Hello friends! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've read a bunch of books, eaten some yummy foods, sewn a lot of quilt blocks and stitched a lot of stitches. I've also had a wonderful vacation to Disney with the WHOLE family! Let me just tell you, it was HOT there. Yes, I know it's Florida and it's supposed to be hot.  But ya'll.  I'm originally from south Louisiana,  I get heat and humidity, but this was overwhelming lol the heat indexes were upper 90s and hit 101. In mid-September. But we still had a marvelous time. We rode all the rides we were aiming for and ate most of the snacks we planned for. And we got in two of our traditions-Boston Lobster Fest and mini-golf!  I totally went off any eating plan while there.  Mind you, I am not really on an eating plan right now, but I didn't overthink food.  If I wanted the fish and chips from the England pub at EPCOT, I ate...

Crafty Round Up for mid-October

 Hi friends!!  I figured I needed to come share my sewing/stitching/quilting updates with you because it's been a while.  So, let's get started... First up is quilty goodness.  And it comes with a story.  Christmas 2021 I bought myself a block of the month subscription from Fig Tree Fabrics for her Manchester by the Sea Mystery BOM program.  If you are not familiar with Joanna and Fig Tree Fabrics, go check her out.  Her stuff is GORGEOUS!!!  I've bought her fabric forever for clothes for the girls.  Joanna does the block of the month programs and sends out fabric and patterns each month and you end up with a beautiful sampler quilt.  Manchester by the Sea was scheduled for April 2022 thru March 2023.  I got a beautiful envelope of fabric and instructions to make blocks each of those months and did not touch a one of them until we came back from Disney last month.  I'm a member of her BOM group on Facebook and have seen the fin...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
