Page one done

Wednesday, April 25, 2007

I’m now done with page one of A Bouquet for Cheryl. Have put it aside to do a project for my mom as mother’s day is not that far away & since I have no money for a gift I figured I would stitch her something. I will post photos of that soon.

Just something funI posed this question to my Stitchingbloggers yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stitchingbloggers/

& Now I would like to post it here as well.

What made you name your blog what you named it?
For mine it was a love of stitching Teddy Bears and collecting
them so that made me think of Tea parties that little girls have with
their Teddy bears. Sound kind of silly I know.

So far I have gotten responses from

I really have enjoyed reading their answers to my question & now I'm sure I will enjoy your's as well. Thanks to all of you!!!

Soooo Sorry ...

First off I have to say that if this campus shooting in Virginia effects you in any way you have my deepest-heart-felt symphothy. I would hate to have to be dealing with such a loss as they are dealing with right now.

I ordered some hand dyed variegated floss from last week and it only took three days to get it in the mail so while I was waiting I did two small projects. The one on top was a card I did for a friend & the bottom was a coaster I now have on my computer desk. The card was from a little book I got that was attached to a magazine I bought awhile back. Then I just added the rest of her name from an alphabet pattern. The round stuff under the design is (believe it or not) old dryer sheets that I dyed and let dry. The coffee pattern was a freebie that I stumbled across while blog surfing and I’m sorry but I don’t remember what blog it was. I thought I had taken better notes but I didn’t. I had to make up my own color code for this and so I used
Med Blue- 799
Light Brown- 437
Med Brown- 435
Border was dark Blue- 803

The variegated floss was a recommendation from Hazel
who is doing (as I just noticed doing the same design) a design and I emailed her and asked what floss she was using. Floss found here http://www.carriesthreads.com/
Thanks to Hazel.I have chosen the Jelly Fish floss for this pattern. Though I do not know if I’m going to do the boarder or the center. I was thinking I might just put some flowers or maybe butterflies in the center or maybe a name. That will have to wait and see on. I’m sorry Hazel for steeling your pattern but it was purely coincidental that I found this online. I had to choose between this and another and I went with this one.
The pattern I chose was form www.needlemania-by-marc.com

Amen and Thank you Jesus it has arrived. Just got the email from Lillie confirming that the MA
# 2 has arrived. Whahoo !!! She said she is doing a happy dance but I’m doing a bigger one.

Here is my progress on the book cover. Hope my little munchkin likes it. I still have to put his
Initials on it and sew it together but the biggest part is done.

This was found Here and done on 14 count Adia off-white witch I will dye a navy blue.
I have added to my stash. Patterns I ordered as a birthday gift to myself sense none in my family thought of getting me any thing stitch related. If you look at the monkey photo you will see that I have a cat needle minder as well to add to my stash. Though I don’t know if I would consider that stash per say but rather a stitching necessity. Look Here

And last but not least on the day I received my stash I also received this wonderful gift from Heidi for a belated birthday gift. She did a wonderful job on the little needle book.

Now let me leave you with one last thought

Hello world !!!

Tuesday, April 03, 2007

The first photo is a belated birthday card from Cherly in Scotland. We both belong to the Yahoo group Stitching bloggers and we discovered awhile back that we share the same birthday. This come in the mail a week ago and I forgot to get a photo of it till today. Is the age kicking in you say NO I don't think it is the age thing I've just had allot to deal with in my work life right now and it just slipped my mind. Sorry Cherly... I really do love the card you stitched for me and I'm sorry I didn't think of doing something.

Here is where I stand on Nicky's book cover.
I have been preoccupied for the last two days so the only stitching I did this weekend was on Sunday.Tomorrow I start my long week so it will be about 4 days till I can stitch again.

THANK YOU ALL WHO LEAVE ME COMMENTS..I'm very grateful for all of them and to have as many friends as I do in the blogging world.
