Old UFOs, New Happy Dances

Hello friends, it is I, the (unapologetic) lazy blogger... I have rediscovered my stitching mojo and made the most of it this summer/fall.  Having grown disgusted with the number of pieces I have "half-finished", I made a concerted effort to polish a few of them off before the ball drops on 2016.  And, I'm happy to report that it has been a productive season.

Primarily though, we are enjoying the newest edition to our family (granddaughter Kamrynn).  She is almost 19 weeks old and changing so much.  We are excited to visit her again in December for her first Christmas.



And, here are the stitching finishes I'm pleased as punch to share with you:

Kelly Clark Needlepoint
Irish mini stocking
too many threads and beads to list
(began in 2013)


"Turning Leaves" by Laura J. Perin
threads:  Watercolours, #5 perle cotton, metallics and beads
(began November 2013)


"Gathering Pinecones" by Hillside Samplings

In addition to these, I also finished Kamrynn's birth sampler, as well as two small huck weaving pieces taught during EGA monthly meetings.  I'll show you those three next time.  Until then,

Stitch Happy!
