More to accomplish but it is getting better. Found another Pine Mountain Pillow today Halloween Themed EEK will work on it tomorrow while watching Monday Prime time TV. No picture yet.

Stitchers Jubillee and Stitchers Jamboree

Hi,

On Oct 3rd my best friend and I went up to the Stitchers Jubilee for the day to the market place. It was great fun, I bought a needlepoint pillow of a Siberian husky from BritStitch and a chart Kitchen Combos with geckos from Stoney Creek. We stopped for lunch at McDonalds then went to the Strawberry Sampler. No stash from there.

On Oct 10 we were off to Ocean City MD for the Stitchers Jamboree. We took our time driving there, Hollys for Breakfast, Queenstown Prime Outlets, Ben Franklin in Easton, Walmart just outside OC and then the OC Outlets. Arrived to the Stitchers Jamboree around 2:30 pm. Checked in, took a walk up the boardwalk. Dinner was at 5pm and hor'dourves at 7pm. Hung around and talked with all the participants. On Saturday up and down to breakfast at 7am. Muffin, Banana and Tea. Our first class was with Jane Timmers, off to lunch, second class was with Lauren Sauer. Dinner was on our own went down to Fastos Bistro. Walked down to the inlet. Went back and met up with some stitchers and stitched until 11:30 pm. Sunday up for breakfast. Our last class was with Eileen Bennett. The weekend was fantastic. Teachers were superb, accommodations outstanding, just an overall great weekend. Bought some stash, Gathering Place Halloween and Pine Mountain Stitching is my Cup of Tea. We wait all year to go and now is over again, until next time.

Beading, Crafting and Reading

Hi,
Hope you had a good weekend, mine is winding down. New episode of Cold Case tonight.
I was able to do some finishing this weekend. First off is the foam skeleton, I completed him last weekend but able to take a picture of him today.


Also, I made two iron on T-shirts for Halloween, but going to wear them at the Stitchers Jamboree in two weeks. Most of the attendees dress in Halloween/Fall attire.



Then for the big finish, I finally...yes finally got out and finished a scissor case and fob, which I initially put together over two years ago. I thought about it today, got it out and finished it. It is by Needle and Frame, the Beaded Ribbon Scissor Case and Fob, here. It came out better than I expected! Happy Dance!




Thank you to all the stitch blogs, who help me get motivated to stitch and complete my STASH. Til next time.

Not Stitching but Organizing and Reading

Hi,
This weekend, was able to organize some of my stash, mostly putting my charts in a file folder by category. Also finished Stephanie Meyer's The Ecilipse and started reading Breaking Dawn. Also attended the Catonsville Arts and Crafts Festival today. Walked the whole festival and had a crab cake sandwich for lunch. Was a good weekend. Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Back from FL

Hi,
Back from FL, visiting my Mom, stayed longer than expected due to Tropical Storm
Fay. My sisters were not able to fly in so I stayed until they could.
I started and finished the Pine Mountain Pillow on last Wednesday Just Add Snow. It was nice to stitch while down there.

This weekend

Hi,
Mostly worked around the house. Went to Joann's and picked out a new sewing basket, it is turquoise blue with vibrant flowers on top. It is shaped like a picnic basket. I had hoped to use my 40% coupon but they were on sale again, so I splurged. We did chores around the house, laundry, vacumming (our dog is really shedding). I stitched some more on the Bittersweet Bouquet. I am focusing on all the cross stitching then back to the beading. Last Thursday, I went to the LNS to pick up the latest JABC Teapot (September) and picked up some Weeks Dye Works thread. I was also able to do some reading of Jennifer Chaverini, The Winding Ways Quilt. I have read the entire series and this one is the latest.
Til next time,
