Prairie Schooler May is framed

Went to Just Cross Stitch for the monthly stitching group and Carolyn had PS May framed and ready to be picked up.  Love it.  While I was there I left PS Autumn and Thanksgiving Sampler to be framed.  Now I can have Bob hang January and May as soon as we get some picture hangers.  Love it.

Stitching finish

I finished the stitching on this last night.  My 1st Blackbird Design.  I seemed to frog every night on this darn project.  But I do love how it turned out.  Lots of floss substitution because I didn't have the called for but I think it looks just fine.

More FFOs

I finished 3 more Prairie Schooler A Prairie Year (Book #13) into ornaments over the past week.  This is the end of A Prairie Year.  I also took a stitched piece off of a Christmas card I received and added a hanger to make it into an ornament for next year's Christmas card.  This was all stitched backings attached, we just gently removed it from the card and I attached a hanger.  I think it will go on my little ornament tree next Christmas.

So cute

I am currently stitching on Blackbird Designs Easter Parade and another of Crazy Annie's 2019 Ornament Club ornaments.

Haven't been feeling good the last couple of days.  Saturday I told Bob that I had a really bad headache.  Within an hour I started with a sore throat and stuffy nose.  Yesterday I sat on the sofa under and afghan and read for most of the day.  I did watch the Super Bowl and was so glad The Kansas City Chiefs won.  I am so glad Andy Reed finally won a Super Bowl.  By the way, they are from Kansas City, Missouri not Kansas City, Kansas as our not so smart president said.

Congratulations Big Red and the entire Chiefs football team.
