And Framed

Another Ornament

I finished up the mouse yesterday.  Here's what it looks like:

Weekend adventures

This weekend we had a few adventures out and about.  We got a new Jo-Anns.  The old one was very old and small so they built a new building by our new Kohl's.  I picked up a few things to make organizing my sewing thread better.

Then I put my sewing machine to use and made my husband a case to hold his plastic ties for work in.

It has two interior pockets for the two different kinds of ties

We are also enjoying some nice rice tonight courtesy of our new rice cooker. 

In stitching news, I've started on another ornament for Emily. 

It's going to be a mouse sleeping in a bed

Most Likely My Last Finish for Awhile

I finished my Quaker Sampler today.  Most likely it will be my last finish for the time being.  Next week is my last "free week" before school starts and I don't forsee a lot of time for stitching things.

I have a frame that should fit it.  I just need to acquire a piece of board to mount it on.  I am still hoping to enter it in the local state fair.

More Progress

I took a small break from the Quaker Sampler to work on the Sunflowers.  Here is what both look like.  A few days work and I think I can have the Quaker completed totally.

Another Ornament and Quaker update

This weekend, I finished up the ornament I was working on.  It's looking rather well.

I finished that Sunday night.  This morning, I decided to finish frogging the Quaker and start again.  I made some amazing progress.

I just have a little to do in the bottom right corner and then I can move up to the top.  I hope the uppercase letters go as quickly as the lowercase.

School starts in 2 weeks.  Getting a bit more apprehensive.

Instant Gratification

Well, somewhat instant gratification, maybe.

I had to frog a bit on my Quaker sampler and I'm finding that frogging one over one on 28 count is really tedious because it's so small.  So, I decided to stitch an ornament (which, ironically, I'm also going to have to frog and I just started it!)

Baby Jesus has got to go.  He's in the wrong spot.  Grrrr.

The finish should look like this.

This is Emily's Nativity ornament for her first Christmas.
