Hello my friends.
Today I have a few WIP's to share.
First up is Love Always.
This is my daily lunch project now.
I really would like to get this one finished,
even though it will be put away until next
Valentine's Day.
I sure do need to get some projects completed. LOL
As you know am not a fan of pink,
but the rosy pinks in this piece I am loving.
I hate putting it down every day.
I thought there would be lots of frogging
in this one with the right side of the house,
but surprisingly I had none.
Was debating on whether to keep the kitty
gray or change to brown.
Bob said keep it gray for our Shadow kitty.
Not finished though.
Here is pattern cover.
So glad the called for floss colors are more muted.
Next up is Spring Gathering.
I decided to stay with the called for floss
for the bunny.
Sometimes you just have to trust the designer.
I may do an outline around his tail though,
since it is hard to see with my linen choice.
Alas this one did not get done in time for
my Spring displays.
I worked on this one for a few hours last Saturday.
So many projects I want to do...
so little time to do them all.
Here is the Spring Gathering pattern.
Using all the called for floss,
even though my eggs are not pink.
Also the bunny's chest is white in the pic too,
whereas more of a cream in the called for floss
This is also fine by me.
Sometimes these patterns pics are not the colors at all.
Finally Block 5 of
Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow.
This baby was almost a full coverage block.
It took me 16 evenings and 2 Saturdays to complete.
Was not a fan of this one from the get go.
To me this did not SCREAM Halloween.
If not for the 2 bats and 2 skulls in the water,
to me this was just an under water scene.
Also the larger necklace above the skull was suppose
to be completed in all French knots.
I chose to do cross stitches....
did not want to do that many knots.
The next block will actually be 2 blocks in 1.
I will start on the left side first.
Do you want me to show you
my progress next month?
Or should I wait & show in 2 months?
Hopefully I will finish by then...
Let me know.
At least I will enjoy doing this next one.
Yaya will love it too!
Blocks 1, 2 and 5.
Blocks 3 and 4.
Smell my feet and little pear were kept
in the cabinet this month.
Too much time spent on this big project.
In other news,
The workers who took out my daughters dishwasher,
did something with the waterline.
Now she has a leak....
She is running on empty.
She works full time.
She has to take my granddaughter
to school and back since she cannot walk now.
She continues to go to the house for inspections.
She continues with her back therapy.
She still has her charity planning event weekly.
She was so tired the other day, she fell asleep
at her jobs parking lot when she arrived for work.
So glad she did not fall asleep at the wheel.
My mom will be coming on Thursday.
I will see if she can bring her roll recipe.
Will share for those who wanted it.
Also thank you to those who sent cards for Larry.
You know who you are.
I will give them to him on Saturday.
Whippy Wednesday Blessings To All!
