IHSW update (shamed facedly)

Around the World in 80 Days
Little House Needleworks (c) 2012
18 ct Mocha
Crescent Colors, WDW & DMC threads

Well, here is my update from a not-so-hermit-ting weekend (last weekend or the one before that btw).  Sigh... it would appear hermit-ting is not going to work for me.  Despite best laid plans, I did not get to stitch the way I had planned.

Even since that weekend, my darling grandson made a request that I make him a WARM afghan.  I cannot refuse him when he asks, so I pulled this out and am working on it every other day.  My hands hurt to do it so I give myself a day of stitching to rest.

Bernat free chart on yarn label.  (Which by the way I have misplaced) - batting a thousand aren't I!  I can however, keep going because this is a simple pattern and doesn't take much to figure it out if I forget.  :)

Sigh, so my "rotation" is now on the back burner as I go back and forth between these two.

Thanks for any sympathy ;) you can pass my way and...

USA Celebrate the 4th

This is a much better picture of my piece.  I wanted to stitch something for USA's Fourth of July celebration.  I found in my freebie collection this chart by La-D-Da. No date was on it.  As in the previous post the information is the same.  Tan 14 ct fabric and GAST threads.  I revised the chart for my use.  I changed:  The date, 'Flag City' to 'God Bless' and 'USA' to 'the USA.  I also added my initials to the bottom border.  I loved doing this.  I particularly enjoy stitching pieces that fit with the current season and/or holiday.

I hope you all are staying safe and cool.

Blueladie Designs Newsletter & an Apology & a stitchy Pic

Hi all.  The Blueladie Designs Newsletter just went out.  Unfortunately, there was some sort of a glitch.  I am told that you either received it twice or not at all.  I am so sorry for this and hope you will forgive.  Of course please notify me if you didn't receive it and I will send one out to you as soon as I can.  :)

On the stitching front, I wanted to stitch something patriotic for July and I found this freebie by La-D-Da entitled "Flag City".  I adjusted the wording and the threads (I used GAST that I had on hand).  It turned out nicer than the picture.

Flag City USA by La-D-Da (freebie adjusted by me)

14 ct tan fabric (although it doesn't look like it in this picture)

GAST threads (oatmeal, gold leaf, midnight, mulberry & onyx)

Father's Day Finish

This is the card that I stitched for my dad.  Mailed it out this morning.  He's a sweet bear that matches the one I did for my step-mom.  Thanks for looking.  :)  (Sorry it's from a UK mag PIF so I have no info on chart, fabby or threads.)
