Whippy Wednesday

 

Hello friends!

Today I want to share my progress

with a few of my WIP's.

Starting with

Smell My Feet.

I went with a variegated orange and purple

floss for the witch socks.

I love how the variegation looks;

especially the purple where is goes 

from dark to light and medium.

Same with the orange.

I also used a variegated black and orange

for the lettering.

Now remember this is a free pattern from

La D Da,

so you can choose to use any colors you would like.

I have seen the socks in green, plain orange

and black and orange.

Next up is Catherine Dickenson.

This will be my first sampler 

with my relatives names on it.

Doing this one for my maternal grandparents

and great grandparents.

I finished the last motif and am working

on my great grandparents names.

This should be completed by month end.

Then off to the framer it goes.

Winter Saltbox is my stitch at work

piece while at lunch.

This one may get put aside now...

as I want to start one of the Spring Saltboxes. 

Finally Block four is complete

on Halloween at Hawk Run Hallow.

I finished this block the evening of February 23rd.

I call it the bats in the belfry block.

This one took me 10 evenings,

 and two Saturdays to complete.

Here were the first two in case you missed them.

Blocks three and four now.

Altogether.

I will iron once all completed.

Block five will go under block one,

and then across I go again.

As Spring and Summer approach,

am not sure if I will be able to keep

my goal of one block a month.

We will see.

Block five is also not one of my favorites,

so again I will have to push myself.

In other news,

Sunday night we went to dinner with

my daughter and Mikalya,

"the world traveler" as I call her now.

Gosh she had so many stories to tell us.

She will start sending me pics so I can 

try and do posts of each country.

We talked so much we hardly ate. LOL

We live in a fairly small city.

If you believe the border is closed

you are highly mistaken.

Last week our police pulled over a stolen car.

In it were 2 illegals.

One they were able to arrest, the other one

is still on the loose.

Makes me cringe that this administration

is letting in all of these folks.

Border Patrol here now are finding more

now than ever.

Our city paper reports all of the police stops.

Crime is on the rise here as well.

It is so sad.

Well looks like I will be driving 

in a thunderstorm this morning.

One already rolled in after 1:00 this morning.

Tundra barks constantly as he hates the thunder.

Hump Day Blessings To All!
