Lizzie Kate update

Happy New Year to all. After being sick two weeks before Christmas, finishing my shopping and enjoying Christmas with family, now back to stitching. I stitched a little more on my ABCs Aging Artfully. Here is my progress:

My camera died, so I scanned two parts and made one.

Happy Holiday

Finished!

Hello there!

I have finished the two latest Lizzie Kate projects I have been working on. All Things Bright has finally got the seed beads attached so can now be made into a long pillow . . .

And I've finished Merry Friends too! I'm so glad that I'll be able to turn this into a pillow in time for Christmas this year.

I hope you're all having a wonderful week,

Bekca

Joyce's Monday LK stitching

I only stitched a little on Monday evening, but got the letter L stitched.

A couple of finishes!

A couple of recent finishes I had forgotten to share. First up is Halloween flip it stitched using DMC threads.



Secondly is a baby sampler I stitched for my cousin who had a baby girl on Friday stitched on 14ct Aida using DMC threads. I backed it using the fabric in the background.



I enjoyed stitching both of these and have another couple in the pipeline which I hope to show in a couple of weeks when they have been received.

Until next time, happy stitching

Started and Finished this week

This was a nice quick stitch to get me going again.  I used my own choice of colours.

A little more stitching on The ABCs of Aging Artfully. I am spending more time stitching on the Old West LHN as my goal is Thanksgiving to finish it for a gift.



It's been awhile

Sorry that I have not posted here for a while. No excuses for me but I do have some thing to show!

On Friday I finished the Jolly Man finally!

I know I use a 32 ct fabric but don't

recall what it was called.

And I used the floss that it called for.

Now I need to get busy and finish

up my 12 Christmas Blessings.

Happy Stitching

Monday Lizzie Kate stitching

I did get a little stitching done on ABCs of Aging Artfully on Monday. I have been stitching on several ornament exchanges. I am on the last of them. The Lizzie Kate exchange. Should have finished this coming week.
Here is a picture of what I stitched on Monday.

Lots of LK Stitching

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I last posted, I blame Uni work :)
Here's where I'm up to on All Things Bright, on the home stretch now with only the final motif and the lettering to go . . .

I can't wait to have this finished so I can fully concentrate on my Christmas stitching!
Like this piece, my first ornament for BeckySC's Challenge. I've chosen Lizzie Kate's Merry Friends, on mushroom Lugana with DMC colours. I've made a fairly ok start, more to come soon!

I think it might be time soon to invest in more LK charts, I just love them!

Best wishes,

Bekca

Three Small pieces......

I am not a big Halloween fan, but I had to stitch some of the Halloween rules pieces...
I was blessed that a friend gave me her used patterns.
I am hoping my husband has time to make frames this weekend!!!
These were all stitched on the same fabric....PTP 32 ct. Doubloon lugana

ABC Halloween!

I have been stitching on ABC Halloween during the last week and this is my progress so far. I am sorry to have to put it away now for gift stitching a few of which will be Lizzie Kate so I will be back to show what I can.

Until next time, happy stitching

Joyce's Monday Stitching

I stitched while I watched the World Series. Of course I am for the Texas Rangers since I am a Texan.

I am a big baseball fan and have not missed a world series game this year. I made progress on my ABCs of aging artfully.
Happy Halloween and happy stitching in the week to come.

Joyce's Lizzie Kate stitching on Monday

Again, a little stitching was done on Monday. Had a real busy day at work, so was almost to tired to even stitch.

Last Year's Fat Man

 Since I don't have this year's Fat Men, I decided to pull out the 2010 Snowman (that I had all kitted up) to work on this week.  This was such a fun stitch!!

Does anyone want to host for awhile?

Hi Everyone

I've been dealing with a lot of personal stress in my life and I just don't have the time or energy to devote to running this blog right now :(  Is there any member willing to take over from me for awhile?  The only thing you have to do is send invites to new members.

Please let me know at apxstitch@gmail.com.

Many thanks,
Angela

**Please note** I will no longer be hosting any exchanges so instead of only one person being the host I have given every member the capability of looking after the group.   I want to thank everyone for making this group a great place to be and I hope you will all continue to have fun posting your LK finishes!  I will no longer be a member of this group :)  Many thanks, Angela

Here is my progress on The ABCs of Aging Artfully. As you can see I made it to the third row, letter i.

Carve a Pumpkin

A friend gifted me with her used charts & oh my!!! I won't stitch all of the set, but some really are me...this was one I really really loved....
I was doing a SAL with 3 friends...we could only work on the SAL for 2 days per week. I wanted something quick & easy for the weekend, so I could pick the SAL back up on Monday!
This was what I chose.....it is stitched on PTP 32 ct. Doubloon lugana....

LK ABC Lessons finished......

hi all,
I had forgotten that I was a member of this blog...oh my!! I could have been showing my progress all along, but instead, you can see the finished piece...I am hoping my husband can get a frame made for me this weekend......key word....hoping!!!!
I borrowed the chart from a friend, so I didn't have the flosses it called for. I have LOTS of Victorian Motto Sampler floss, so I subbed them. I LOVE Nancy's colors......
I also changed one word to better suit me....a few people who read my blog spotted it right away....I will leave you guessing.....
I have many more LK's in my very near future......One being the 6 fat men!!! Too cute...

have a great weekend!!!!

12 Blessings Update

I'm going to be sad when I'm finished this piece. I'm loving it!

Weekly update

Even working at our Fort Bend County Fair, I did manage to stitch a few minutes. I did get the border for the letter h stitched.

Long over due update

It's been a while I know but I was in hospital for a short spell, you can see why on my blog but thankfully my mojo is well and truly back and I have some progress to show as you can see.  These really do stitch up nicely and they are such fun.

The end is in sight!

Quick progress shot. I took this piccie this afternoon and since then, I have finished the title along the bottom! Only four squares and the charms to go!

Shelley :)

ABC Lessons

You all have inspired me, so I purchased the kit for ABC Lessons and I'm working on it just a little bit each week. : )  I also have a couple LK charts for sale and trade on my blog just now.  I'd love for you to stop by!

Blessings!

Joyce's Weekly Update

Happy stitching

FUN IN THE SUN . . .

I recently took part in a stitching exchange which had a Summer holiday theme and this is what I chose for my stitching partner . . .

'Fun in the Sun' stitched on 28~count white evenweave

with my choice of Gentle Art Sampler threads

I added small pink heart buttons on the flip-flops

and backed the pillow with a seaside sand ripple fabric

I wish the warmer weather was still with us in the UK, the leaves are turning colour now and the nights closing in very quickly!

Don't forget the Lizzie*Kate Travelling Pattern ~ Life's A Stitch is now looking for a new home and someone to join The Stitcherhood ~ details are over on my blog and the next person will be chosen on Thursday ~ Good Luck!

Thanks for stopping by

HAPPY STITCHING

12 Blessings SAL update

I haven't stitched as much over the past week. But have still managed another square - yay! Not sure what the white mark is on the green line - must have been a bit of fluff. Its definately not there (after a mild panic attack I had to check :p)

Hope you all had a great weekend :)

Shelley

Next!!

I finished up number four of my 12 Blessings…

Stitched with the recommended colours…jiggled around a little!

Friday's SAL

THE TRAVELLING PATTERN . . . .

Hi Everyone!

A small finish to share with you all ~ 'Life's A Stitch' . . .

stitched on coffee stained 28~count Lugana evenweave with my choice of threads to match the finishing stripey fabric and a wooden 'stitched heart' button to complete

The chart for this fun design is a Travelling Pattern and is now looking for its next home!

Its journey was started by your host of this blog ~ Angela and each chosen blogger gets to be part of the Stitcherhood so if you're interested in joining the 'hood' then pop over to my blog http://buttonsstitches.blogspot.com/ and leave a comment on the current post and the next stitcher will be drawn next week!

Just wanted to add that although I'm not taking part in the current SAL, I'm really enjoying watching everyone's WIPS and know there are going to be some lovely finishes at the end of it!

'Till next time

HAPPY STITCHING

Finished :)

Finally completed the Merry Christmas By The Letter. Really love it & it'll be finished as a wall hanging :)



Now I'm going to be concentrating on Boo! Club which is what I'm working on as the SAL.

Happy Stitching :)

update time

On Friday I finished another Christmas Blessing, this makes 5 done

Then on Monday I did not cross stitch at all, I had to have

a procedure done called a Colonoscopy.

Not very fun but necessary in our family. It took a lot out of me

so I slept most of the day after I got home.

I decided that I would make Tuesday my LK day,

but I had my little grand daughter all day so while

watching CSI last night I started a new LK that I have

been wanting to do.

Some done is better than none. I love cross stitching

Santa Clauses!

Happy Stitching everyone!

Monday stitching

Joyce's Update.
I stitched another word on my ABCs of Aging Artfully. slow but sure, will get there.

Onto No.4 - Mon 12th

Hello there! I hope you've all had a great start to the week.
Here's my weekly progress on my LK, All Things Bright. I finished the flag and have moved onto the sunflower. I've changed around a few of the DMCs for the sunflower already, using threads I had in my stash. I think it will still look good when it's all finished.



Just got to finish the sunflower, then the watermelon and the rest of the writing and I'm done! I'm hoping to get this finished before I head off to Uni, but I'm not sure I will.
Can't wait to see what's been stitching up this week, all the best.
