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...

Make it work....

OK. So, the fabric I got from the challenge isn't tooooo bad together :) I'm making it work. My problem is with the trims. What am I suppose to do with the ribbon and lace??? Maybe a lace rose? Ribbon straps?with suspender clips? AACCKKK!!!! I'd post a pic and get suggestions but my rules said I can't do that. Soooo, I guess I'm on my own. I'll keep you posted! In other designing news...I've got a Valentine set finished. It goes in the mail tomorrow to the model. I got more Valentine fabric to sew. Not sure what I'm doing with it yet though. And another Valentine set planned, but with not overly Valentine fabric so it could be worn later in the year. Pretty, isn't it? Andddd...be on the lookout for a new website. www.boutiquerascals.com I'll have my wonderful creations for sale there and there will be lots of great things from all my Rascal buddies. We'll have clothes, bows, purses, jewelry, tooth fairy pillows, lots of great things!...

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

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...

Until Next Time...
