Back on track...

I worked on my Sunday project yesterday, which is Sunflower Bellpull...



I just got a couple rows of lettering done. I didn't stitch on it much because I was busy finishing my strawberry...



It was a pretty easy finish. I think I would definitely like to make another one, except this time on a smaller count linen.

I wanted a little basket to hold some of my needlework accessories and remembered I had one in the closet. I asked my mom if she could make me a liner for it and she got right to work. I think it turned out so cute!

Tonight I plan on working on my Pomegranate Sampler again. I'm hoping to get another row above the numbers finished. Write more later! :)

P.S. My baby is seven months today! Where does the time go?? :)

A Couple Other Things...

I also got an order from Handcrafts Online the other day. I got the new LHN Blueberries chart with Crescent Colour threads along with the finishing kit that Mary Kathryn puts together...



I also got Geranium House by CCN and February Flip-It Bits Chart and a CC thread I was missing for Spring Violets...

While I was browsing her blog I noticed she had an Etsy shop and saw the cutest pin cushion that she had made, so I got that too! :) Here's a pic...



I also wanted to share a pretty patchwork pillow my mom made...



She got the idea from the book Vintage Fabric Style, which I got at Jo-ann's using my 40% off coupon (I love those things!).

And last I'm almost finished with the stitching part of my strawberry. It's on 20 ct. linen over two, so it's going pretty fast.



I'm going to try to get it finished up today and then see if my mom can help me put it together (she's a much better sewer/finisher than me). Well, my 6yo is wanting to use the computer, so I'll write more later!! :)

Oops!

Well, I kind of got off schedule. Instead of working on my rotation from Tuesday on I started Crocheting. I started an afghan kind of like this one made by Alicia from Posie Gets Cozy (except not as pretty). I actually started and restarted about three or four times. My ripples weren't lining up. It was pretty sad and that is why there was no stitching for a few days - I was just obsessed with getting ripples to line up. Well, I finally got it right, and I didn't take a picture because it's in my trunk and it's too cold to go out and get it (yes, I'm a big baby - cold here in FL is about 45 degrees - if that). I do have pictures of other things...

Friday I took a class with Susan Greening Davis at Golden Needle. It was a lot of fun - went way too fast, but was fun! Here's what I got done there...


Strawberry Social class

And it was Nashville Night, so of course I had to pick up a few new things that were out...



I love the new Blackbird Designs Book. It has so many pretty designs. Here are a few of my favorites...


Bluebird's Needles & Pins


Tulip & Star Pinkeep


My Quaker House


Friendship's Sheltering Vine

I got back on my rotation schedule today at JoAnne Nantz's with My Earth. I got a band and a sheepie stitched...


Shepherd's Bush - My Earth

Well, that's all for now! It's time for bed now! :) Write later!
