busy yesterday

First off want to tell you all out there that the 18th is this months FNS. If you want more information click HERE.

So yesterday I decided I needed to pull out my sewing machine and get some things done. So here is what I finished.

My two ornaments for my vday giveaway...

Parsley's hidden giveaway vday ornament...

Grandma's needlebook...

And my favorite of yesterday....

Oh wait I can't share that one with you. It's a RAK. You'll have to wait to see this one.

On another note i'm still waiting to hear from Peggy H. from Never Enough Stash. I need her snail mail so I can send her the vday package. She has two more days to send me her info or i'll have to pick a new winner.

Well i'm off to work on the biscornu for my 100 follower giveaway. Happy stitching!

what a weekend

All week I haven't been feeling too good. I've had horrible headaches every day! I have just tried taking it easy and not doing too much.

So Friday was FNS (Friday Night Sew in) I picked up my quilt and managed to get a row done. But with my headache the sewing machine wasn't a good mix. So now I have 7 rows completed. (there are 20 all together)





Then Saturday was International Hermit and Stitch Day (an idea spun from the minds of demeter83 and Joysze). So I sat and tried to get some stitching done. But again with the horrible headache it was hard to concentrate so first I worked on mermaids for a bit...



then I picked up wise old owl... which i'm going to frog and pick some new colors I don't like what was recommended.



and I also got a few stitches in Grumpy Bear...



It's hard for me to concentrate with my head pounding so I jumped around a lot yesterday on what to work on. But I did manage to get a lot done. I'm hoping that maybe today it won't be so bad and I can relax and stitch something. I hope your all doing good. Happy stitching!

Progress & Happy Dances

First off I decided to join in on FNS.



I need an excuse to put down the cross stitching and pick up my quilt that I started forever ago. Also Eleni's purse that was suppose to be a Christmas/Birthday gift and still isn't complete. Click on the picture if you want to join.

Next I managed to get two Happy Dances yesterday! Yay!!!! One is 'Snoopy I Love You'. He just needed his head filled in. So it didn't take me too long.



And the second one is called 'Hearts A Plenty'. I've decided to share it. I haven't decided if this will go to my swap partner or my giveaway or me! Will have to see once I get some other vday ornaments done.



I had so much fun doing this one I am tempted to make another one. It has over two, over one, beads, rhodes hearts, and a little straight stitching. I still have to add the button. I'm just waiting for it in the mail.

Also I had some more time for stitching last night so I picked up Mermaids. I'm just loving this piece, getting to use hand dyed threads is fun. I just love the crescent colors ones. But I started using the weeks dyed last night and I don't like the feel of it as much as the crescent ones.



On my last post a couple of ppl asked about the styrofoam circles that I got. Here is a pic of them. I was wrong I picked up the bigger circle one and it has 2 instead of the 6 package one I thought I got.



I put the stitched design on one side and fabric or another stitched design on the other side. Put ribbon between the two for a hanger then glue them together and put a thicker ribbon around the outside to hide the seam.

Alright well thats enough babble for today. Off to do a bit of stitching before I need to get ready for work. Happy Stitching!
