Stitch Sania Has Begun Part 2

HI! I'm back as promised with my focus pieces for #stitchsania this month.

Up first is Calvin and Trixie by Stitching with the Housewives. I don't know when I started this. Last September, maybe. I dyed the fabric grey and then coffee/tea dyed it. I liked the fabric then, but when I picked this up to work on it this week. I don't know. The fabric just looks dirty to me. And that makes me sad. But, I have so many stitches in it already that I will just keep on with it.

Next week will be an easy peasy finish. This is the third ornament in the Secret Santa series by Hands on Design. It's called Silent Night. I love the fabric and they way the colors pop on these. I'm going to have to make these a priority this year so I can finish them and put them on my Santa tree.

Third focus piece is the squirrel from Waxing Moon Designs Bittersweet Trio. I have lots to go on this LOL I have a couple other squirrel patterns that I want to do. We call our youngest two girls "the squirrels". Hubs was trying to say something one day about "the girls" and it came out "the squirrels". The name stuck. So I am doing at least two squirrel pieces so they can each have one.

Lastly is Alice In Wonderland by Soda Stitches. Daughter 4 is an Alice fan so this one is for her. I started waaaay back when she was still in high school. She graduated in 2018. I think I need to finish this LOL I'm thinking maybe a pillow or a tote bag for a FFO on it. I'll have to think about it.

Share your focus pieces with me and we can encourage one another to get them finished!

Until next time...

Naked in Death by JD Robb

"I don't think I'm in love with you anymore, I know I am." Oh. my. gah. I am sooo in love with Roarke! Holy balls! Why did I wait so long to read this? (actually I listened) It's like an amazing episode of CSI or Law & Order or some show like that....not that I watch tv all that often, but yeah, Lt Eve Dallas would put those shows to shame! The crime solving portion of the book, which honestly was the majority of the book, was great. There was enough creep factor to the crime and the reasoning when you found out who it was that did it and why, but it wasn't so bad that you wanted to put it down. It just made me mad that I couldn't have killed the pervy old man myself. This is definitely a series I will continue. It may also just convert me to an audio book listener....as you may or may not know, my previous attempts at listening have not gone so well. But this kept my attention pretty well and I loved the voice characterization of Roa...

August of Accomplishments

The Oxford definition for ACCOMPLISHMENT is "something that has been achieved successfully". I am claiming August as the Month of Accomplishments for my massive cross stitch WIP collection. My plan is to finish some of the WIPs that are close to being finished or that I have had in the WIP pile for a long time. Here's a look at my stitching spot...Notice the basket on the floor, it is full of WIPs. Notice the pile on the sofa, it's all WIPs. I have got to get some of these gone, especially since I LOVE starting new projects. So, am thinking I will work on Calvin and Trixie. I am sooooo close on this one. I even bought finishing fabric for it. I think I will try to complete the January SAL from Little House and Country Cottage Stitching Group on Facebook. The theme was winter. I bought finishing fabric for this too. I also want to finish up Seasons in Chalk: Stars and S...

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
