Sunflower Inn Progress

I have been focusing lately on trying to clear some WIPs out of my stitching basket. It is actually rather embarassing how many unfinished projects I have accumulated .

So I worked on Sunflower Inn by Little House Needleworks, which was started last summer. Here is a photo showing my recent progress. I am going to have to order some more Crescent Color threads in two different colors before I can finish. I enjoy the colors on this one, and it is my "on the run" project because it not that large and has only about six colors of thread.

And I also stitched on a small sampler called Faith, Friends and Family from Cross Country Stitching magazine which I began in January of 2011. This one is going to be a wall hanging in my kitchen, which we are remodeling in a rustic country style. I love the little Scotties. It is almost done, with just one small bit at the bottom left with another basket and some more candles.

I have also been stitching on the Elizabeth McGuire portion of my Dear Diary sampler, but I think I will wait until I have her whole section stitched before I post a picture of it.

That is all for now. Happy stitching...

Old Finishes

Looking through my blog I see that I never posted a picture of the finished Prairie Schooler design, November. Well, here it is, and I finished it well over a year ago....

And here is another small finish from a design by Barbara Ana that I did last year for my daughter, who graduated from high school.

I hope to take some more pictures of cross stitch finishes and WIPs that I have around here. I am enjoying getting back to my blog and it is motivating me to stitch more to see everyone's beautiful work. Now, back to stitching...

New Starts, sort of...

I started both of these last year, but got so little done that they both seem like new starts now.

The first is Sunflower Inn by Little House Needleworks.

Here is a picture of the full design.


And next is Beacon House by Praiseworthy Stitches. This one has been so much fun to stitch so far. I love lighthouses. And I think I'll stitch one of the deer next.


Here's the whole design of this one.

Until next time, enjoy your stitching!
