I have been working on this during the Olympics. I have worked only on the large house (building?). The first picture above is where I was when I picked it up again. The 2nd picture is where I am currently at. I love this piece.


I am really enjoying working on ornaments on Sunday.  I think I see a finishing day in my near future. I have a 4 day weekend ahead so maybe I will do some. I'm just not sure I have all the materials I need.


I think that is all I have for now. I will be back on Sunday!

Happy Stitching!

A Good Stitchy Week

Hello Stitching Friends!

I have had a good stitching week. Here is what I have been up to.

I have only been working on my Plum Pudding, except for yesterday. Here's my progress as of today:

I think I am about halfway done with the cross stitching and then the beads. Maybe another 2 weeks?

On Sundays, I am going to participate in the Instagram "SantaSundayxs". I want to get alot of things stitched for next Christmas. Yesterday I stitched Plum Street Samplers "Kringles Coal", from the JCS 2014 Ornament Issue. I love how it turned out.

I think I want to somehow make this into a small sack ornament. We'll see.

I had today off as it is Martin Luther King Day. I decided to finally try my hand at dyeing some linen using the tea/coffee recipe. I dyed some 40, 36 and 32 count. I love how it all turned out.

 I am going to continue on with Plum Pudding. I am really enjoying it.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stitching!

It's 2018!

I have been a very bad blogger.

New year, new start, right?

I contemplated whether or not to start a new project on New Year's Day as I have for many years. I do have quite a few WIPs and have so much Christmas/Winter things I want to do. But, I did go ahead and starting a new one.

Last Christmas, my son gave me a gift certificate for an online store and I got all the things for Glendon Place "Plum Pudding". Since this came from him, I decided I really should get er done!

Here is my progress as of this writing.

I do like it so far, however, the pattern picture is much more vibrant than the stitched piece. When does that ever happen??? The above picture isn't really great also, but it is much more muted than the pattern shows. I am using all of the called for things.

This is my second try at this post. I haven't used blogger for so long, I'm not sure I am going to be able to.

Happy Stitching!
