Pomegranate Sampler as 2/19/07


Pomegranate Sampler as 2/19/07

I met my goal and got a row of letters stitched! Next week I'll hopefully finish up the letters and then get back to the pomegranate border.

I'm going to work on Winter Wind tonight. I searched and searched everywhere for this project. I thought for sure it was lost and then I just found it. I was a little worried there for a minute.

While waiting for ds at school today I worked on his ripple afghan some. I think it's turning out very cute in a kitschy sort of way.

Well, Matthew is sleeping, so I'm going to try to stitch for a little bit! Thank you all for your kind comments! Write later! :)

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...

Finished 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!! :)
