Cherry finish and 3 more tools!

Yippee!  I finished Cherry for the Fruits & Berries quilt for World of Charity Stitching.  It is about 6" square.  This is a free design from Ann Logan in the Czech Republic.  Click HERE and scroll down to Existing Albums for lots of great free charts!

This week I stitched a mallet, vice grip pliers, and the little keychain thing (what's it called?).  There are 14 tools left and 5 weeks until Christmas!

So Many Tools update #9

WIPocalypse update #11

I've had four more finishes since the last WIPocalypse update!  I hope the world is not ending soon, because I still have a lot of cross stitching to do!  Check in on Measi's blog with your update, too!

Jolly Jack was a traveling pattern that I received from Denise and passed on to Nancy.

Jolly Jack - FINISHED!

Now I have 4 of the 12 months finished of these Prairie Schooler designs in the Spring & Fall and Summer & Winter booklets.

Summer & Winter (June) FINISHED!

Now I have 3 of the 12 days of Christmas finished of these Prairie Schooler designs.

Santa's 12 Days of Christmas (Days 1-3) FINISHED!

I finished this freebie design that I found on an Italian blog, http://www.il-mondo-di-ezechiele.com/

Christmas Cactus - FINISHED!

Here is my progress on BBQ Queen, a SAL with Linda, who is stitching Lady Liberty, another design by Diane Arthurs.  After the flag is done, there is still a lot of backstitching to do on the flag, sun, and dress.

I also started a new square for a Fruits & Berries quilt for World of Charity Stitching.

Cherry update #3

Starting on November 1, I'm going to click on the Random Number Generator to choose something different to stitch every day from my WIPocalypse page.  It will be a good warm-up for the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge 2013, when Linda and I will start something new every day in January (15 just isn't enough)!  Who is going to join us?

Cactus, Cherry, and BBQ Queen progress!

These three projects are coming right along!  The Christmas Cactus is waiting for the Christmas lights.

Christmas Cactus update #3

One of the cherries is coming to life.  Does it look real from a distance?

WOCS - Cherry update #2

I have started stitching the flag that says "Summer" on BBQ Queen.  There is still a lot of backstitching to do.

BBQ Queen update #20

Here is a peek into my everyday work situation!  I work at home on the company computer on the right, and my personal computer is on the left.  There is always a furbaby within arm's reach!

Billy, Blueberrie, and Bubbles

Bubbles, Billy, and Teddy

Billy on my lap when I'm typing!

The brown tabby cat is Billy, 5 years old, the black and white tuxedo cat is Blueberrie, 9 years old, and the calico cat is Bubbles, 10 years old.  Teddy the Labrador Retriever/Mastiff mix is 2 years old.  Sophie the German Shepherd/Shetland Sheepdog is 10 years old and very camera shy.  She is best buddies with Billy the cat.  I wish I could get a picture of them playing together, but she always takes off when she sees the camera!

Who is peeking through the windows?

Halloween House update #22

It looks like more ghosts and an escaped convict! After the backstitching, you'll be able to see their faces even better.  I still have a lot of green roof to stitch!

Christmas Cactus update #2

I stitched the medium green around the cactus.  There will be more dark green on the edges, and then the Christmas lights and a star on top!

WOCS - Cherry update #1

Would you believe this Cherry has 14 different shades of pinks, reds, and oranges?  I hope this one really stands out on the Fruits & Berries quilt for World of Charity Stitching!

Nothing but green stitching last night!

I used the Random Number Generator to choose one of my 55 WIPs, which are all shown on my WIPocalypse page, and it came up with #24, Christmas Cactus.  I started this in January for the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge, when we started a new project every day in January.  You can see all the projects I chose to start in January on my UCJC page.

Christmas Cactus update #1

Don't you love the Bright Chartreuse on red Aida?  I'm going to use DMC Satin floss for the lights.  I found this free Christmas Cactus chart on an Italian website, http://www.il-mondo-di-ezechiele.com/

I also started a new square for World of Charity Stitching.  They are making a fruits and berries quilt.

I found this free chart on Ann's Cross Stitch Patterns in the Fruits category.
