Owl finished

All done! :) I love quick finishes...

I'm back! Some updates

So it's been a while since I posted here, and I am sorry. I haven't done much stitching since Christmas, but I started a new project this week which is almost finished. It's small but uber cute :)

First, I finished Santa. I didn't change the text like I wanted to but oh well. I haven't heard anything from my uncle so I am not sure if he liked it or not, or was so overly offended that he disowned me haha!

I started Wendy's Owl by Ships Manor. Fun little pattern...lots of colours :)

And one more thing, I finally tried some embroidery on the weekend! 

Nothing special...just trying out some different stitches. 

That's all folks! Till next time...

NYANYANYANYAN

Another small victory! Started this last night because I was alone and bored, finished it tonight! It's a lot smaller than I was expecting, but with the star thingies around it, it fits in a 5x7 frame nicely. Amazing, a finish that will fit in a standard size frame! ;) pattern was found on Sprite Stitch.

 Update: Framed and a better picture :)

Another Finish

Yay so I finally found some time to work on my little piece I started a few weeks ago. Been so busy with work and summer that I hadn't even had time to look at it. I even bought a frame for it a while back when they were on sale.

The lovely blackwork border is from Hardcore StitchCorps found here. 

Can you decode the message? ;)

FINISHED DOG LESSONS ROUND 2!

Finally! I managed to find some time the last few days to finally put dog lessons to an end LOL my goal was to finish it by end of June....I'm only...like...a month and a half behind schedule....that's not that bad...right?? Yes Mel it is. but work kept me so busy and my boyfriend bought a motorcycle, so those both ate all my spare time. Speaking of which...I am taking the motorcycle safety course in 2 weeks to get my license....then if all goes well get my own bike next spring :) super excited! Fingers crossed for me!


Now I will head out tomorrow to find a frame for this albatross and hang it on my wall. Then on to the next one...haven't decided what I will do next yet...many small projects on my list. 


Until next time :)

New small stitch

So I took a break from my second "dog lessons" to do something a little different. I made up the pattern last night and started stitching....I got most of it finished last night but had to go to bed...but I finished it this afternoon. I'm going to get a small frame for it this weekend and hand it somewhere in the house...

I think it's neat...subliminal message :P

2 more projects finished!

So I finally finished Dog Lessons, like 6 weeks ago LOL (April 15), framed it, and it is ready for the greyhound auction!

I love it. I need to do ay least 1 more (for myself of course :) ) I have all the stuff to do it but I find it hard to start all over again...someday....

After I finished that I started on another smaller project. "Bitter Luigi" found on the Sprite Stitch blog. I finished that last week :)

I bought some black evenweave on ebay a few weeks ago, with intentions to do a couple small projects on it but haven't got around to starting anything new yet. Maybe today...

Adventure Island 2 stitch...5400 stitched later...finished!

Yay I finally finished it last night! 

I love it...Just need to mount it somehow. Adventure Island is one of my favorite NES games...I used to play it all the time as a kid. There aren't many (or any) patterns out there for AI so I put this one together myself. Turned out pretty good for my first pattern :)

First "actual" post...

So I started the blog but haven't posted anything legitimate yet haha. So I will post a few pics of the couple projects I have done since Christmas...

Mario Across the Ages...

pattern found on Sprite Stitch

Betty Boop

Pattern found here

I still need to mount them somehow...either frame them or figure something else out. The odd sizes make it a challenge.

I'm working on a new project right now, almost finished, but I won't post pics until it's all done :)
