Another Finish Mill Hill Lazy Daisy Days

Hi,

I finished up Mill Hill Lazy Daisy Days by Mill Hill today and finished it into a frame I had in my stash. I restarted this kit Feb 2020 because I made a counting mistake that I could not fix and finished it today 4 Sept 2020. I hope you are all doing well and getting some stitching in. Until next time, Sue in DE

Finished September Handy Towel

 Hi,

I stitched the September Handy Towel Leisure Arts by Kathie Rueger. I stitched this towel from 12 Aug -3 Sep 2020. I was hoping to finish before the end of August but it was Sept. I have had these towels in my stash for a long time and decided this and next year I will get them all stitched. I still like all the designs. Things are well with us. Still social distancing unless we need to go out for supplies. I hope you all are doing well. 

Until next time, hope you can stitch. Sue in DE

FFO

Hi

Finished Thirst Aid Kit by Sam Sarah. Was a kit I bought at the Stitching Post here in Maryland. It was stitched on 30 count washed linen and WDW. It is a bag for gifting a bottle of wine. I thought it was cute and I will use to bring bottles when I go visit. Started it on Feb 5 and Finished Feb 11. Finished Stitching it today and put it together. I had to go get more of the WDW since it did not come with enough for the stitching. I picked them up last weekend. Along with two more sets of 5 inch and 7 inch stretcher bars. Not much else new today. Been knitting with the yarn Flick Flack that I ordered from Salty Yarns. Enjoy knitting those scarfs I get compliments from coworkers. Since I saw that it was discontinued I ordered two of each color Salty Yarns had left. Thanks Sara. Hope everyone can stitch. Here is a pic of the FFO. Until next time,

Going's on

Hi,
Last weekend I spent the weekend at Salty Yarns Beach Retreat. Great fun. We took most of Friday driving down to OC, Maryland. Breakfast, Queenstown Outlets, Easton, OC Walmart on the way. Friday we checked in, enjoyed the dinner and then appetizers and desserts. Saturday, stitching on the front porch til lunch then went to lunch with some friends at Shenanigan's. Really good lunch. Becky who was with us pointed out an error in the menu...we had a great time talking about that. The restaurant we heard fixed the error.  In the afternoon walked down to Spring fest and walked around. We are glad we saw Spring fest, neither of us have been before. We both bought mini flags.  Back to Salty Yarns to stitch and chat until we walked back down to Shenanigans for Crab Soup and Crab Dip. Up to our room for stitching for the rest of the night. Sunday, up for breakfast, stitching until 11 in our room, checked out and drove home. Lunch was at Chipotle in Easton.
This weekend we spent Friday with some friends, eating and play board games. Saturday and Sunday doing things around the house and some local errands. Finished reading Betrayal and now reading Threadbare. Enjoying our weekend. Some stitching, I will show the progess of last weekend and this weekend soon.

Finished,finally finished

Hi,
Put the last back stitching and the beads on the Bicycle Delivery. My DH stapled the backing fabric to the frame as recommended. So here it complete. We went out to the viewing of my best friends MIL. Then we stopped for some grocery's.  Now watching the NASCAR race. I have a new start, it is a present but it one of the White Willow Tribal stitching on 28 count Flax Cashel using Sampler Thread Dark Chocolate. Here is what I have completed so far. Bad picture from my tablet.... I made the q snap cover today using the tutorial from here.    I needed it due to the extra fabric. I am getting used to it, it is different to stitch with it. Glad I was able to start it l was not going to start it until Bicycle Delivery was completed. Hope everyone is enjoying your day. Til next time, Sue n MD

This weekend stitching update

Hi,
This weekend we have been working on maintenance on the camper,doing things around the house and keeping track on the flooding at Splash Magic campground. Te flooding is horrible at the campground we were just up there over the Labor day weekend and had a great time. It is hard to imagine the devastation of the campground amenities
Today we walked around the Catonsville Arts and Crafts fair. I really enjoy walking around this fair.
On to stitching, I spent my time that I have stitching in Bicycle delivery. It is coming along. Til next time. Sue n MD

Two finishes

Hi,
Been trying to stitch every night, so here we have two finishes. JBW French Country Dog and a Kreinik Happy Jack Freebie. I started the French Country Dog - earlier this year. The Kreinik Happy Jack was a UFO for many, many years. I finished it up this weekend while we were camping. The French Country Dog  was finished before we left but I did not post about it.
Camping was great this weekend up in Central PA with my sister and a bunch of friends they know up there. Good time had by all.  I have been working on the Dimensions Stone Path Bicycle Delivery and Nuts Stitch Here by Trail Creek Farm.
Today at work, I made working copies of the two next projects. I have decided only to have two going at a time, one on aida and one on linen. It has been working out great. I have decided to work on one of them each night....at least put a few stitches in them and it has been great to be stitching again, consistently.

A bit of Stitching

Hi,

Really bad week....wont go into details....but our dog went over the Rainbow Bridge.


I did some stitching here is the latest look at what I have completed on Road Trip....wanted to finish this week....but that did not happen...Hopefully a finish this week.

Went to the LNS Stitching Post and picked up the Winter Woodlands Mill Hill and I went to Joann's and bought the Margaret Sherry Book-magazine.

Sunday uP Date

Hi,
A little bit of stitching.....but have not been able to concentrate onit.  This weekend has has lots of ups and downs. Our dog has been sick we took her to the specialist last Thursday who did an xray and endospy. She ended up having surgery. On Saturday she had complications, so she was not doing well. Today was a bit better still not out of the woods yet....day by day. We are not in the mood to visit or talk to anyone....trying to have our hopes up for our dog.

On the stitchy note: started Road Trip last weekend and did about a 1/2 hour today....here is where it is. It is on 32 count so I need some maginification so I keep the stitches correct. Hope to work on it some tomorrow if I feel like it.
