Raindrops-finished!

Well, here she is, all finished! (I assume it's a girl-she's wearing a pink bow!) Although I fear this photo doesn't look a whole lot different from the last one I posted of it. But now it is all filled in!

Sorry for the creases! oops. now I only have three more pieces to do in this series, and I can start making it into a quilt....for who? I have no idea! But oh well, it's been in my "WIP's" pile forever! And I just want to finish it, to say that I finished it!

Raindrops....the pile of cotton has a face!

So, all I need to do is fill in all the white, and do the rest of the back stitch and this one is done! I think he is so cute!!! I can't wait to start on the next one in the series!

Progress on "Raindrops"

I haven't been posting much here....oops, i have been somewhat enthralled with my reading and books, I tend to go in shifts when it comes to my hobbies, sometimes I'm really into stitching, other times reading at other times scrapbooking, etc, etc. Since I made my goal to read 75 books last year, I decided to do the same this year, and wanted to start the year off strong with reading.



However, I have still been stitching. So, here is a photo of Raindrops, as it looks now. I am pretty much finished with everything but filling in the white, and backstitching.


I have been working on this one while I watch ER season 10 (bought with Christmas gift money) and Private Practice season 1, which was on sale at the BX here for 16.47$- What a deal!

I have also been putting in time on Howling at the Moon and The Abby, but they are both in the room where hubby is sleeping right now, and I don't want to disturb him, so will post photos of those later.

I hope everyone had a lovely New Years holiday and that you aren't freezing too badly!!! Be safe out there in all that snow, and I will think of you as I bask in the warm tropical sun...60 degrees and sunny here! =) Now, now, stop throwing those snowballs at me!!!! LOL

Raindrops

sorry for the crappy photo, we just got a new printer and so my picture program has totally changed and i don't know how to fix it, I am soooooo pissed!!! I hate computers sometimes!! Well, this is the progress i have on Raindrops, seems to be the only piece I have wanted to work on lately.

Wow! Time is a-flyin'!!!

This month has seemed to go by in a swift blink of an eye!!! I remember my brithday (The 10th) and now here it is the end of the month already...and sadley this is only the second time I've posted all month!!! SAD!


I have been stitching however, the piece i seem to be stuck on now is "Raindrops" which is The second piece in the 5 piece lamb series I am doing. So, here are photos, to show some progress.

This is how it looked on Monday morning when I picked it up, and THIS is how it looks now:
Hubby and I have been renting lots of movies to pass the time this long holiday weekend, and you can see that I have been making good use of that time! I am almost entirely finished with the top left hand quarter of this piece! I'd say I'm a quarter the way done, more actually...I am really enjoying this one! I love the pastel colors in this one...but then of course there is all that dreaded white!!! Blech!!

Well, Thanksgiving this year was small, but nice!! Then after we ate, we packed up some food and took it down to the gateguards here at our military base and fed them all. So we made a few young military guys who live in dorms and would not get a warm homecooked meal pretty happy. And that is what the holidays are all about! Giving and sharing!
