Another IHSW and Travelling chart

So where to begin?  I haven't posted in a month??  Really?  Wow it doesn't seem that long. Time is flying by fast..it's almost the end of March!  But let me assure you, it still feels like November with this winter that is never going to end!  Geesh!  We had some nice Spring-ish weather last week enough to fool the tulips into peeking out of the ground, and then boom back came winter with cold temperatures and snow.  Oh well, spring will come.  It always does.

So I start first with my Sunday SAL that I am doing with Kati.  Silver Linings Humboldt Coast.  It's coming along.  I am starting to see the light at the end of the more than 1 year tunnel on this one.  I love stitching on it though, and it's so satisfying to see it emerge into what it's turning into.  My mom has already laid claim on it.  So I'll be happy to frame this and give it to her.

Not much progress happening on Elizabeth.  I haven't found a lot of time to stitch this last week, or even month for that matter.  Everytime I sit to do some stitching, something always comes up that I have to pack it all away.  Or I manage a few stitches and then that's as far as I get.   This week doesn't look too promising either, but I'm going to try.

I am excited about this little project.  I won a chance to stitch this little piece as a travelling chart..Bent Creek - Glad Tidings. So again ladies, I will be gathering names to pick from to send it on it's next leg of it's journey.  Thank you Andrea for all the wonderful treasures that you sent along with the chart!  I spring colours of the floss are perfect....I am going to stitch this year's "bunny bums" with one of these colours for sure!!  Just which one.  None of this will go to waste, that's for sure...and are much appreciated.  

So Ladies....leave a comment on this post and in the next couple of weeks I'll be drawing a name for the next destination.

And it travels to..........

RHONA!!!!

Live Laugh Love is on the next leg of it's journey.  Congratulations Rhona!  I will be sending you an email shortly so that you can send me your mail address and I can pop it in the mail for you! 

I hope you'll love stitching this as much as I did....and can't wait to follow it's travels around the world  :)



Live, Love, Laugh

It's done...and I love it!  I am so glad that I won the opportunity to stitch this pattern as it made it's way around the world.  You still have until the end of the week to sign up to be a part of it...just go down to this post and leave your name in the comment section and on the 31st I'll pick the next leg of it's journey.

In the mean time let me show it off.  I tried the best that I could to show the sparkle in it, but as usual, nothing ever shows up on a picture as it does in real life.  It's stitched on Peppermint Twist Opalescence by Silkweaver...I think it was from their holiday collection fabrics.  I think it went perfectly with this piece.

That being done I have put in a few of the first stitches to Mirabilia's - Elizabeth.  I don't think that I am going to be getting very much done on it though tonight because hubby and I are having a date night tonight :)  and tomorrow is Humboldt day...so we'll see how far I can get.

Hello Monday!

Monday's are normally not my favorite day of the week, but for some reason I woke up in an incredible mood today!  So it was a good day.

Didn't get much stitching time over the weekend, but I did manage to do a little.  I started the traveling chart on Friday and did quite a bit.  I am in love with this fabric.  It's Peppermint twist, it's got sparkles in it...and it's sooooo glittery...I wish the picture would reflect that.  I'll play around with the camera settings when it's finished so that you can see it more clearly.  Last year I bought the Lizzie Kate Christmas charts that she did as a set, and I think that I'm going to stitch them on this fabric.  They'll be so pretty on the tree with the light catching all the sparkle.  So that decision is made :)

We went to a bridal shower yesterday, so I really didn't get to stitch very much, a little over an hour, so my progress on Humboldt Coast isn't even worth showing but I will anyway.  :)

Just a reminder if you want a chance to stitch this Lizzie Kate traveling chart, you can sign up in my last post to add your name.

Travelling Pattern has arrived!

Back before Christmas I had won the chance to stitch a travelling pattern by Lizzie Kate from Sharon (blogger Shebafudge) that was started my Mii Stitch.  It came all the way to Canada from the UK, and we were starting to stress that it would never get here, but alas...yesterday if finally arrived!  YEAH!!!!!  So I am going to work on it this weekend, and hopefully send it on it's way again soon.  Also though in this package Sharon was kind enough to send me some LOVELY fabric that will be put to great use!  And two floss by Kates Kloths that I have never seen before but they are gorgeous variegated colours.  I can hardly wait to use them!  Thank you Sharon!!!

So what I will do then is start the process.  If you are interested in receiving and participating in this travelling pattern's journey.  Leave me a message on this post and in two weeks time (January 31st)  I will pick the next leg of it's travels! Be sure you leave me your email address as well, if I can't email you from your blog link. Now before you join keep in mind that you must be able to fit it into your rotation (if you have one) and that you will be able to stitch it and send it on it's way in two weeks time.

I'm off to pull floss and fabbie!  WOO HOO!  Arrived just in time for Hermit Weekend!
