Lost My Stitching Mojo...

I lost my stitching mojo. I haven't picked up a needle since The Hersey Retreat 2015 in October. It hasn't stopped me from getting more stash. 

Suzy's Birth Sampler

I decided to stitch a Mermaid Birth Sampler for Suzana instead of the Name Sampler. Suzy's 1 yr birthday party theme was Mermaids. So I'm going to go with it. I ordered it from 123Stitch.com and I should get it tomorrow or Friday. 

Welcome to July 2015

I can't believe it's July already. I spend way to much time on the internet.  I have hardly touched the needle.  See below.

Two Peas in a Pod

I decided to switch over to "Two Peas in a Pod" from the Cross Stitch and Country Crafts, May/Jun 1991 issue.  This is for my two Chunky Monkeys Caleb and Cole.

Caleb is the one in the back and Cole is front and center.

This is what it will look like once it's complete. Sorry for the glare

Old Friend

I got this from eBay and it arrived today. This called "Old Friend" by Stoney Creek Collection 2003.
It reminded me of my son Jason's old teddy bear. I'm going to do this for my grandson Oliver, Jason's and Ashley's baby Oliver due in this July.

Old Friend

I'm still also doing Bucilla's The Little Explorer Birth Record for Oliver.

 

This is what I've stitched for far.

My Cross Stitch Corner

This is my cross stitch corner stitching buddies and all. The pole in the background is my full spectrum lamp.

I know it looks like a mess but other then the red planner everything is carefully organized. 

Happy June 2015!!!

I did get 1 finish in the month of May.  It was a 10 yr old UFO. I plan to make it into a pillow and give it to the intended recipient. I'm challenging myself to finish one project a month, lets see how that works for me.

I found a Noah's Ark Birth sampler for baby boy Cannon. I put Happy Nappers away for a while. I'll be stitching on 1 of 4 baby samplers.

Hello Sunshine!

This is the first Spring in our new house and I feel so blessed that we're here in this house. It still doesn't feel real.  

Since my last post I now have grandchild number 9 due in November! Jenn is expecting number 4!.  I'm so excited!!!  Three grandbabies due this year!

On the stitching front I'm back to stitching on the Kustom Krafts "Happy Nappers". I put it down for a few months but I picked it back up in March 2015.

I'm also stitching Birth Sampler number 4 for Suzy and Birth Sampler Number 5 for Caleb and Cole. I picked up a Sampler for Oliver. I still have to pick one out for Isabella and one for Baby Cannon.  

I'm going to attend a stitching retreat next weekend Apr 24th-26th. It's my first retreat I'm anxious and looking forward to it at the same time. I'll take pictures later of my other WIPs.

Happy New Year 2015

Well my grandbabies are getting big. Suzy is 6 months and Caleb and Cole are 2 months. All very precious. Michael and Lauren's baby is due in May and Jason's and Ashley 's baby is due in July.  I can't wait.

On the stitching front. I haven't changed from November.
