A Productive Day!

For some reason I got up quite early today, like about 4 a.m. But when you get up by 2:30 a.m. for work 5 days a week, you get kind of use to it.

Anyway, I started out working on my Ackworth Friendship Book. I was able to start square 5 and finish it this morning.


One more square and I will be half way done with this project! YAY!!!

I then moved on to "The Branch Snapper". I added Pattern #3 (of 5) and some more border.


I don't have #4 and I don't think #5 is out yet. I will just continue the border until #5 is out and get them both at the same time. My LNS is not so local. It is about a 45 minute drive.

I was looking for a floss tag to use on by Snapper project and couldn't find one. I decided to finish my Halloween fair squares (that I received yesterday in the mail) into one.



I absolutely love how it turned out! Thanks to Karen D. for stitching these for me.

I also assigned partners for 2 exchanges today, too. I don't have to work tomorrow so I feel like I still have time left! LOL!

Have a great start to a new week!

Halloween Fair Squares

Well, this is my 2nd post today, however, I received my Fair Squares for the Halloween Round from Karen. This must be right off the needle as it is from the 2009 Just Cross Stitch Halloween Ornament issue.


It is called "Happy Jack", by Knotted Tree. Aren't they cute? I love the colors in this design. Thank you Karen!

And here are the squares that I sent Karen.


This design is "Snap Happy Halloween" from Bent Creek. It sounds like Karen liked them.

I've stitched a bit more on "The Branch" Snapper. It is coming along quite nicely.


I decided to do the border along with the center design, to keep things aligned correctly. And after having to do a bit of the frog stitch this afternoon, I am glad I decided to do this.

If you look close, there is a little message in the bees nest? Do you see it?

Well tomorrow is Sunday and I am trying to stitch on my Ackworth Friendship Book on Sundays. I'm going to try to get a whole square done and still have time to work on The Branch. I really want to keep going.

Thanks for visiting my blog and thanks to those who leave the great comments. I appreciate it.

Have a great rest of the weekend!
