Hope all is well with you my friends.
Am glad March is here.
However it came in like a lion here.
Very windy and cold.
Am hoping it goes out like a lamb now.
Today I have two new starts to share.
The first is this St Patty's Day theme.
Speaking of lambs,
this pattern is called Lucky Ewe
by the Proper Stitcher.
Stitching this on 30ct Aspen.
Decided to use floss on hand
instead of purchasing more...
but not happy with the color I chose
for the shamrock in the vase.
Cannot see it. UGH
I have to re-think this one out.
I did purchase this project bag.
Perfect for St. Patty's Day.
Next is the 12 Days of Christmas Stockings.
This patten is by Annie Beez.
The called for linen is a black 14 ct aida.
No way was I going to stitch on black linen.
Am doing this on 28 ct Earth.
It will be the same size,
just a smaller count linen.
Well I thought this was finished,
but I realize I did not finish
the lower right branch.
Will need to do this.
It also calls for beads.
I am only going to add the beads
in the numbers which I have not done yet.
Hopefully I can get these done for Christmas.
In other news,
Yesterday I made wet beef burritos for dinner.
Bob made us some strawberry margaritas.
Both were good.
Tonight will make a roast chicken
with mashed potatoes and cream style corn.
Finish up my laundry and clean today.
Hopefully have time to stitch.
The wind moved the ice a bit.
It was nice to see blue water again,
and the ducks came back.
Just love watching the little diving ones.
Well off to make some chocolate chip pancakes
with some bacon for breakfast.
Let me know how March came in for you.
Sunday Blessings To All!

March did come in like a lion. That wind was something! Glad your ice has moved a bit.
ReplyDeleteI love the title of that piece - Lucky Ewe. It's perfect for a St Patrick's Day piece.
What time do you want us there for supper? It sounds good! :)
Yesterday was a very mild day and was brought in with March winds so definitely need to pull out that hooked piece called Windy. Those winds also brought in temps below freezing. So it's back to winter. Yup, just as I said in my previous blog ~ Spring Deception.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly did come in like a lion. I am so very eager for spring -- real spring, where it stays like spring for more than a day or two!
ReplyDeleteHi, March came in with COLD WINDS and bit of snow and sleet. Our silly weatherman thought that was coming in like a lamb. He must figure we will have something worse at the end of the month.
ReplyDeleteCute project bag.
xx oo

Chocolate chip pancakes sounds great.
ReplyDeleteWe had beef burritos for supper tonight.
March came in like a lion here too!
March came in less than pleasant. Cold and windy. Hopefully it will go out like a lamb.
ReplyDeleteSo how many cross stitch projects are you juggling? It seems like you have one or two new starts every week. All of them sweet.
Fun new projects. I haven't done any stitching or hooking...or anything of late. All I've accomplished is a small start on binding a rug that I finished hooking a long time ago. Hoping my strength, energy, and motivation returns soon. I think March came in "in between" here?? It was colder than it has been for a while but, thankfully, we didn't have the wind the other commenters mentioned and no precipitation. Your meals sound delicious. I need to get back to cooking again. Happy Sunday - hope you got some stitches in. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteMarch came in like a lamb to us. I love St. Partrick's Day. Kind of fun to celebrate. Love chocolate chip pancakes!!!!!!!!!
