Finished up July with a bang!<br />
I came out of my comfort zone in finishing this one. Used chevron patterned fabric with checks. I covered a backing board with the chevron fabric. Then mounted my stitched piece on foam board with low loft quilt batting. Glued my stitched piece to the chevron board. Had some glitter stars, suspended on wire. Cut those loose and glued them in the corners.<br />
The inspiration for this finish came from this wonderful blog https://priscillas2000.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2018-04-18T06:38:00-07:00&max-results=7&start=28&by-date=false<br />

Texas heat is in full swing with the weatherman saying it's 94 degrees and everyone elses thermometers saying its 99 to 101 degrees. I mostly hibernate in the air conditioning. Although, I did get the front garden raked down, weedex cloth put down and many bags of mulch to keep the garden looking spiffy. Very satisfied with the result.<br />
<br />
Still working on patriotic pieces. I have finished stitching Grand Old Flag. Still working on a finishing idea. Have some stars buttons to sew on before the final finishing. Designer Rosewood Manor, 36 count flax linen, 2 strands DMC variations and 5200 white. The red is a Hobby Lobby brand Artiste thread.<br />

Of course there has to be some patriotic Hooties in the works! These are so quick to stitch. Stitching up multiples as usual. 14 count plastic canvas. 3 strands DMC threads. And let me tell you that trying to stitch in a smyrna specialty stitch on 14 count plastic canvas is a real trick. <br />

It's a grand old flag, it's a high flying flag. Do I have you singing yet?<br />
Started this one in june. Had planned on having the sampler done by the 4th of July. Then Peppers Pillow called to me. And when that beast called I answered long enough to finish it. Also my OTT light had needed repair for so long that I had just been working on smalls. Hubby made the necessary repairs and I am on to big projects once more.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have made quite a bit of progress since Peppers has been finished.<br />

I have been occupied with all my groups on facebook. Two of which I help moderate. Then i help moderate our Brooke's Books Stitchers groups.io<br />
All of which I enjoy. Especially our groups.io.<br />
<br />
I, of course, haven't been keeping my blog up. (is there a house elf for that?) But that doesn't mean I haven't been stitching. Quite furiously in fact! Various fb challenges keep me motivated along with just being obsessed with needle and threads.<br />
Will try to give you a run down on my projects for 2018. And a little catch up on some of what was completed in 2017. Yes, gads, its been november 2016 since my blog has had any attention at all. Shame on me for sure. My ipad still will not support blogger so it is easier to post in my facebook page when I take a picture with it. You see, I really don't know how I get any stitching done as my ipad seems to be permanently attached to my hands.<br />
<br />
Last project finished is a old UFO from the December 2004 JCS magazine issue called peppers pillow. Designer Donna Vermillion Giampa. It was a UFO I kept picking at all these years and finally finished it a few days ago. The reason is that the black cashel linen was tightly woven. Didn't start out that way. It was my presioussshhhuss for the whole month of june. I had to guess at where the stitches were to be placed and it was a little dicey at times. Fought me to the bitter end. Even when I was sewing the pillow together. But, it turned out okay and I am happy it's out of the UFO bin.<br />

This is a Mill Hill Autumn pin that I made into an ornament. While I was clipping a stray thread I accidently clipped the ornament ribbon and had to add a button to keep the ribbon together. Already glued together, there was no taking it apart.<br />

I had plotted, and planned, this finish for weeks. Gather supplies. Then found out I could be very dangerous with a hot glue gun! The board is 16x20 inches, comes painted this greenish driftwood color and bought at Walmart. The mermaid is a Hobby Lobby sale find. The "sand" is crushed marble. I smeared the bottom of the board with hot glue. Patted in my sand. The wooded fish were stuffed in a jar full of shells. I used crayons to color the fish. Added some flashy glittered buttons, shells and pearls.<br />

This is my rose kiss. The rose is from an old leisure arts book. The vine is just my meandering around trying to fill fabric space. Was looking for different finishing techniques. Found that needlepoint sites are wonderful inspirations for them. This is one of those inspirations. The pucker, in the front, did not show up until after I had stuffed it with fiber fill. Too late to do anything about it and I was not going to tear it apart to try to fix it.<br />

This one took awhile to stitch. I changed to 1/4 stitches to get a more refined finish with out the backstitching running through stitches. Then leaving a blank spot next to them. The design is so beautiful that I thought it deserved to have the extra effort put in to that. Peony Biscornu, designer Faby Reilly.<br />

My SIL started this Whitsy quilt for a friend. Knew the minute I saw it that I would probably end up finishing it. And I was not disappointed, if you want to call it that. She got about 4 outer symbols done and asked me to finish it. Problem is that she smoked and the thing reeked of nicotine. And also discolored from it. Due to being a stamped item I could not wash it. So I sneezed for a month while stitching this to get it done. Thankfully, all the orange nicotine came out of it after I soaked it in oxyclean. That stuff is gold for sure.<br />

This was the saddest mystery SAL I have ever signed up for. This is my $36 ornament pattern and I learned my lesson, lol. Moral of the story, don't sign up for a mystery SAL with a designer you don't know. Hot Cocoa.<br />

2017 was the year of the Hooties, designer Pinoy Stitch! I must have stitched 30 of these little cuties. Made great gifts. And I still had some left over. More are slated for 2018. I found some Patriotic Hooties and two Honey Bee Hooties. <br />

This is a Lizzie Kate design. My first stand up finish. I learned to allow extra fabric so the front doesn't lean forward so much, lol.<br />

Currently, and I don't have a picture as I have been stitching on Rosewood Manor's Grand Old Flag. The Plan was to have the sampler finished in time for my July holiday wall centerpiece. However, Pepper pillows got in the way and it will be next year for the Flag.<br />
One thing I did start is another HAED SK Magical Arrival in january. Got 2 bottom pages done. Then my OTT light stand broke. The light still worked, but the stand needed some repair. I was without my light for about 4 months. Only things I could really work on were smalls. After hubby repaired mr OTT, I had set my sights on finishing Pepper pillow once and for all. Hopefully this one will get some attention once Flag is finished.<br />

Hi everyone! I was cruising one of my groups on fb. A stitcher posted her wonderful work on a hand dyed fabric. My friend Sandie asked if she used the shaving cream method. Well, that got my curiosity going full steam! I found several tutorials and decided to try it for myself. So here goes and I am not a professional. Just passing on what I have learned.<br />

I used glitter lavender tulip brand paint first. Decided to test in just one corner of the pan. This way i didn't waste a lot of shaving cream if things were not going well.<br />

I did find one thing. Scrape off the shaving cream, and paint, in the same direction of the paint flow. In this case the paint pattern is running from the bottom left/middle to the right/top. That is the way you want to scrape off the mixture. Be sure to rinse the cream mixture from your ruler, after each scraping, so it doesn't muddy up your fabric and affect the colors.<br />

Then i got brave! I used up the last of my glitter purple and added dark purple, and a little pink to the pan. I found out a drink straw works much better than a tooth pick and switched to that.<br />

I rinsed with warm water. If the fabric was going to run I wanted to know now. Rather than find out after stitching. I was pleased that no color ran from the fabric.<br />

Hi all<br />
Have some january challenge finishes. I started 60 smalls and medium pieces. Have finished 17 of those. Plus finished 3 HAED fb challenges. I thought I would have had more january challenge pieces done by now.ANd joined way too many challenges again. But, as it usually happens to me life, specifically kittens, gets in the way. The girls have grown quite a bit. Bridget is now almost three pounds and Maya is over 3 pounds. They are both 3 months old. Can't believe how fast they have grown. To remember Bridget only about 3 inches long in body(not including her tail), blind and not sure she would survive. Well. it doesn't seem like the same kitten! Maya, and Bridget are never far from one another.<br />

How is everyone? Have lots of new so get ready to read a book, lol!<br />
I did participate in the facebook January challenge. Have lots of WIP's in the works. However, I had some interruptions. Two to be exact!<br />
Was at the work yard on July 4th. Loading things in the portable garage for a move. Closed the door and left for the night. Next afternoon i was throwing pipe in the front of the garage. Heard a desperate cry. Went outside to see if a kitten was in distress. No kitten to be found. Went back into the garage, moved some plyboard and found a hungry, cold, dirty and desperate 6(or8) day old kitten under a work bench. Apparently she was put in the garage the day before and we didn't know it. This was the second time we rescued this kitten. Ferral mother(Fuzzy Butt) was no where to be found this time. Quick trip to the vet for kitten milk and a bottle. The Vet warned us she may not live. I didn't even name her for a few days. But, kitten fought to live so I named her Bridget. Celtic for feisty strong. <br />

These are lemon seeds from store bought lemons. Wanted to see if they would actually grow a tree. The empty looking cups are avocado seeds. Hubby hopes that there will be a tree sprouting as he loves avocados. I don't care for them myself. But, if they sprout it looks like I may need to learn to deal with them.<br />

I have more challenge pieces waiting for beads and finishing.<br />
I have also started designing my own patterns. Drawings and charting is the easy part. Stitching out, and editing my own designs are another thing! I do like seeing my ponies come to life and hope there will be many more. Here are some that I have finished and have PDF's for sale on ETSY.<br />

Some finishes and a bunch of new starts<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hi everyone!<br />
I decided to join in the Crazy January Challenge on FB. Dedicated to Debbie Faris Bryant who passed away, at a very young age, from a heart attack in 2014. It was Debbie who came up with the idea of a start a day for the months of January and February. Last year I had way too many UFO's to join in the 2015 group. This year I am able to join in the fun. Here is what I have so far this month. 12 starts, 2 finishes and 3 ready for beads and ornamentation.<br />
So here goes<br />
<br />
Day 1 start is Brooke's Books January Birthday Cake,<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since this pic was taken I have finished the cross stitch and it is waiting for beads. I forgot to take another picture.<br />
<br />
Day2 is HAED Boo, artist Randal Spangler, a RAK from Courtney Sands for my birthday last year.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Not too bad for a days work. Over 1000 stitches. Think this one is going to be a fast one once the challenge is over and I can concentrate on it.<br />

<br />
Day 3 is another HAED. Trim The Tree Stocking, artist Randal Spangler. This one did not go as fast as DH decided to bake a giant cake. Stitching was doomed that day!<br />

Oh, and I won a small pattern, of my choice, from HAED. I completed both my yearly, and half year goals, in the group bulletin board. The randomizer pulled my name out of its cyber hat. Had to go back 3 times to read the announcement to make sure I didn't make a mistake and read the wrong name. This is the pattern I chose.<br />

New start Trim The Tree Stocking. HAED Artist Randal Spangler.<br />
Many of the wonderful HAED designs have been converted to stockings. This solves my problem of wall space. I have an electric fireplace and the stockings, I plan to stitch, will look very nice hanging there.<br />

It has been a banner year for stitching. With nearly 80 finishes, including 3 HAED WIP's, it has been a fun productive year. Making up for a dismal 2014.<br />
<br />
On the machine embroidery side. I stitched a blanket throw for SIL, and made a Winter Cardinal pillow for her. The pillow is a recycled baby blanket ment for cross stitch. It was such bad quality for stitching and decided to use it for the pillow. Saved me from throwing it out.<br />

The one color designs were fun to do. I found some Variegated polyester maxilock thread for the red poinsettia. Gold metallic is always a pain to work with. But very pretty. I liked the red so much that we printed out coupons and went back to Handcock fabrics. After a hand full of coupons, multiple discounts. we eneded up getting 3000 yard cones of thread for $3.19. Regular $7.49. Finishing fabrics, regular $9.99, for $3.49. Happy Dance!!!<br />

The baine of my existance, for december and november, has been this memory quilt. SIL wanted my mom to make her one(she would pay for it). Knowing my mom would not like to make another, since she has already made 2 or 3 dozen, i "volunteered.... I am NOT a quilter. Claim to be at times. But it was nefarious claims... Here is the result, to be shipped out of the country, never to be seen again, But, SIL's inlaws loved it flaws and all. The printer did not like it. Was flipping over the fabric sheets and printing on the wrong side. My sewing machine, didn't like it either, it broke two needles. First time ever for breaking needles. Please excuse the blurryness, as i have told others, I was giggling like a school girl because it was finally done.<br />

I was the winner of the Be Thankful Give away for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Unfortunately the first package Nancy sent to me was lost in the mail somewhere. Hopefully it will show up sometime and I can mail it back to Nancy. I received the second package Nancy mailed out to me. I was a bit overwhelmed at the beautiful items sent as a give away. Beautiful threads, a kitted pattern and two more patterns to boot.<br />

Head on over to The Victorian Sampler Motto Shoppe blog if you have never tried Nancy's hand dyed DMC threads. There are several color collections. Order by the single skein or collection. Threads are so soft and silky. A pleasure to work with.<br />
<br />

<br />
You can order direct from Nancy or from her ebay store. Link in her blog.<br />
<br />
Will have another posting before years end. Have 4 more ornaments that am trying to complete before years end. One is an ornament exchange that also was lost in the mail... That one is stitched and ready for ornamentizing. Is that a word? Ornamentizing???<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful christmas!<br />

Have you ever planned a project, get all the materials together AND then can't find the pattern??? Thats me! Was planning to start Brooke's Book Noelle, from the JCS Christmas cross stitch issue, and LOST the magazine... This was close at hand and decided to start a design , by Joan Elliott, from the Cross Stitch Gold magazine feb 2013.<br />
