Mr. Mittens has a scarf!

Mr. Mittens update #11

Mr. Mittens has a scarf and more backstitching done, but where is his other arm?  Linda and I are both close to finishing our Monday snowman SAL, and then we will choose one of our other starts from the UCJC or SDUCFC to stitch on Mondays.

Quoth the Raven update #1

The Random Number Generator came up with #45, so I stitched more black on Quoth the Raven.  It will say Never More and have a black raven and lacy border all around.  This is a free chart designed by Lady Kell of Kincavel.

Halloween House update and Random Number Generator

Halloween House update #14

I only did some backstitching last Friday on Halloween House.  I want to stitch the rest of the jack o'lanterns next time.  Everyone is making great progress and someone is getting close to a finish!  See them all on the Halloween House SAL page.

Spring & Fall - April update #3

The brown bunny is a little bigger.  I didn't finish this April picture in April, so I think I'll start on the May piece next Saturday.

Harley-Davidson logo update #10

All the black is done on the bottom of the Harley-Davidson logo.  Now I need to finish the orange X's on top and stitch the rest of the black background.

I copied Otter's Ocean and got a Random Number Generator widget to choose which of my WIPs to give some attention to (in addition to my weekly SALs).  They are all listed on my WIPocalypse page, but the numbers will change each time I have a finish and move it from that page to the Finishes 2012 page instead.  My number range is from 1-62, since I'm planning to have another new start for World of Charity Stitching any day now.

Red Cat update #1

The first random number for yesterday was #53, Red Cat, stitched with Vikki Clayton hand-dyed silk in Aquamarine on 28 ct antique white Jobelan, 2 over 2.  This was one of my starts for the Super-Duper Ultimate Crazy February Challenge, since Linda convinced me to start a new project every day in January AND February!  I remember how fun it was to start something new every day.  I think I'll click on the Random Number Generator whenever I get the urge, so look out for different pieces being updated all the time now!

Happy Stitching, everyone!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - finished!

I finished Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in time for my son's 28th birthday!

Mr. Mittens update #10

Mr. Mittens has the beginning of a blue striped scarf, and I added a little more backstitching.  He still needs another sleeve and glove.  This is my X-Stitching Xmas update for May.

Spring & Fall - April update #2

I stitched a little more of the brown bunny for my Prairie Schooler monthly designs SAL with Linda and Rosemary.  Rosemary has already finished the April design!
