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!
