Shepherds Bush - Love Is

Love is where you plant it!  I have stitches a green stem/grass line from side to side.  So I have touched two walls in the same day.  This should be a rather quick stitch.  The challenge here will be that the white fabric is rather thin in my opinion.  So there can be no carrying of floss on the back of the piece or it will show through when I do the finishing.  This is all stitched with overdyed flosses.  Hopefully it will come along quickly.

Birds n Bugs Complete

 Here is the front cover.  I finished it today while in yet another waiting room.  Then I put it to use so I could start another project. 

Here is the inside.  Very cute.  It goes well with the Lizzie Kate Strawberry scissors case that I also like to take along. 

Lizzie Kate Birds n Bugs Part 2

Well, I  am making some progress.  I have been working on this at appointments.  I have all the parts in this Vera Bradley box.  It makes it easy to quickly dump it all in and take off for whatever activity is next.  I still have the bird to do and then beads and back stitching. 

It is amazing how people smile when they see stitching.  I get smiles and kind remarks. I often get the comment "My mother used to do some of that,"  It makes me laugh.

Lizzie Kate - Birds n Bugs Part I

This is the inside of the stitching roll.  It still needs beads and I am currently working on the outside of this project.  I will admit that it is difficult to keep all your stitches going the same way when you work on a band already attached. 

On the medical front, we met with one of the doctors today.  I like him.  A treatment plan is being put together and there is plenty of reason for hope.  Thank you everyone for your prayers and concerns. 

Done - ready for finishing

My Victoria Sampler Friendship Sampler Needle roll is stitched!  I finished it today.  I need to do some measuring and then the finishing.  This picture makes it look huge.  It will be a good sized needle roll. 

Progress: VS Friendship Needle Roll

I have been working on it.  Yesterday I had to rip out all the rhodes hearts and then put them back in today.  (Centering problem).  The stitching is done down to the bottom.  I have one more band on the top to get through.  It is more frilly flowers.  I also need to do the beads.  Then this one is done. 

Everything and the kitchen sink -

Today a new kitchen sink was installed.  Thank you to my sister and her husband, Mike and also to my son and his significant other Linda.  My new sink is so shiny and the faucet is just too cool.  I am very happy with it.  I am supposed to leave it alone for 24 hours while the stuff sets and dries.  I am slowly putting the kitchen back in order.  I did do a little stitching this morning and then I ripped it out this afternoon.  Perhaps there was just too much going on today?
