I have created this blog because I want to keep track of my projects. Mostly it will be about stitching but sometimes it may be about something else. I have been stitching for many years and have accumulated quite a stash. I hope to find ways to organize and reduce my stash. Hopefully this log will keep me on track and show myself and others what I have accomplished.
Today we leave for Monterey to have an early Thanksgiving with my dad's family. It is a four hour drive each way so I will have time to stitch or read. I look forward to that.
Yesterday I received Catherine's Arm Chair Pin Keep by Indigo Rose in the mail from Elegant Stitch. This is the second wonderful treat received from them in a week. Last Friday it was Ghosties and Ghoulies by Brightneedle. Both are very charming designs and I cannot wait to get started on them. As a matter of fact, I took the Pin Keep out of the bag and basted it last night. I tried my hand at the bullion stitches in the middle of the pin cushion but I am not happy with my results. I have never done these before so I think I need to practice on a piece of practice linen until I get the hang of them.
I am also working on Random Thoughts by Drawn Thread. I am halfway down on it. I am currently stitching the verse which is over one. Once I get that done, the rest of it should go rather quickly.
I also have Prairie Schooler's 2005 Limited Edition Santa in my workbasket. It is over halfway also. This is the first time I have worked with Crescent Threads. They are very nice to work with. I hope more designers start designing with them. I really like using the overdyed threads.
It is time to leave the computer and get ready to leave. I can hear the bear moving around in the other room. I think he is getting ready to come out of his cave so it is time to get going.
