Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you have a wonderful day with family and friends!

It's a Chicken!

I actually got this stitched up last week.  All the littles were fun to do.  Now to find the proper scissors for it.

The Stitching is Done

 

Happy 4th of July!

First, Happy 4th of July everyone!  It is a beautiful day where I live and I just got back from a 10K Firecracker Run!  Can you tell I am hyper?  Anyway, it was great fun and I recommend doing a race, even if you are slow like me.  It is good to get out and move! 

Here is the scissor's case that goes with the chicken.  Do you see my mistake?  I need to do a little reverse stitching before this is done.  Then it is on to the scissor's fob! When I get all the stitching done, I will put everything together.  Here is my question: does it count as one finish for my Crazy January Challenge or do I count each piece?  I am so behind, I think I will count each one.  What do you think?

The Stitching is Done

This is the chicken for the Coq Au Pins by Twisted Oak Design.  Doesn't look like a chicken, does it?  I have enjoyed stitching it so much that I decided to do the rest of the pattern which includes a scissor's case, scissor's fob and a pin keep.  I am using threads that I dyed.  Hopefully I won't run out.

Coq Au Pins- a Few Stitches

I should be working on Spring Splendor, but I needed a cross-stitch piece.  This piece was calling to me!

Day 14

Coq Au Pins by Twisted Oak.  There are two starts here: one is mine-very little stitched and the other is my ds's.  He thinks he made a mistake and it went to the basement to live.  I may see if I can fix his error and try to finish his.  Hey!  If it moves out of the basement, it is a good thing!

January 3-Coq au Pins

This is a design that I have had in my stash for years.  It is by Twisted Oaks Designs.  My ds started it and ran into a problem counting it which is my other reason for working on it.  I am using some of my own hand dyed threads-Painted Desert-to stitch this piece.  Got to use that stash!
