Tomorrow is December 1?

How did this happen? I can't believe how fast time goes. Especially the last month is like a blur. It wasn't enough what I went through with my mom, I ended up with strep throat last week over Thanksgiving:( I am a little behind in my stitching but trying hard to catch up.

I have a few finishes that I can share. First, my November pink stitch. I made one of the Cats Whiskers cupcakes. I received a package of the cupcake bottoms for the beCAUSE it's Pink Exchange from Chris.



This was a very quick and easy stitch but it is very cute!


My November issue of the 2009 Christmas Challenge was a freebie I found here.



This was very fun to do. I love that it's not just another square ornament.

I actually did 2 ornaments this month. I also did this one.


This is a freebie from Aurelle. It is stitched on 28ct. white lugana with silver, with DMC Variations #4210 and #4045.


Over the years of my "stitching career", I had stitched several things for my mom. These are starting to come back to my house. I will start by sharing this one with you.



I must have stitched this about 20-25 years ago. Some of you might remember this doll. This was a pattern in a Cross Stitch and Country Crafts magazine. Just the face is cross stitched over 1 on 25ct. My mom kept her under a clear plastic protective cover so she is still beautiful!

That's all I have for today. Thanks for stopping and thanks again to all of you who have left the most comforting comments on my mom's passing. I really appreciate it.

Happy Stitching :)

A New Start and a Frog

With a couple of my friends that I stitch with on Friday nights, we started the Cat's Whiskers chairs. We are going to stitch the Peacock and Garden Chairs over the summer on Friday nights and finish them together some weekend in October.

We started with the Peacock chair. Here is my progress after 2 weeks.



If you read "Stitching Squad", my friend, Joan's blog, you probably saw all of the flower frogs she collected last weekend. On Friday, she let me buy one from her.


YAY! I was excited. I have wanted one of these for some time now. The scissor I have in it here, are mostly ones that I just acquired in the last couple of months. I'm sure some people wonder just how many scissors does one need, I know my son wonders this everytime I get a new one. Apparently, I just can't ever have enough!
