My Sunday Stitchy Update 10/07/18

This week I have a FFO to show! 

I finished the stitching on the second square for a biscornu! YAY

then came the time for the assembly... eek...

First I had to sew up the sides and let me tell ya that was a frustrating experience in itself! 

Then I had to stuff it! 

It always amazes me how much stuffing it takes to fill something but it all got it in there! Another tricky part was the button! LOL I used the longest needle I had that fit thru the button hole and finally got the buttons attached! 

And here is the FINISHED piece! 

 I love it and I may make another one or two someday in the future! 

Now on to the next WIP!!

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another faithful update!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 09/30/18

Hi Everyone!


Today was Jacob's birthday and he is officially a teenager!

It is hard to believe he is 13 already. I remember when he was born and he was just a little bit of a thing and weighed only 4 lbs and 15 oz! Now he is about 5 ft 6 which is a whole foot taller than his favorite Gramm, me! I am super proud of this young man and can't wait to see what the future holds for him. 

This week I worked on a secret project that I can not share because the recipient would see it and it is a Christmas present.

First Stitch 09/25/18

Finished 09/28/18

It was a real quick one to stitch up and hopefully I will remember to show it after Christmas!

Then I moved on to another simple design that I also designed. I plan on this being one side of a biscornu once I finish it up. I keep changing the pattern around and I think I finally have it just how I want it!

My Sunday Stitchy Update 04/22/18

Hello Friends!

I hope you had a great week this week and were able to get in some time for yourself and maybe some stitching for Hermitting Weekend!

This weekend was Hermitting Weekend for stitchers. It is like a big stitch in but you stitch from the comfort of your favorite spot. You can click on the IHSW icon above to learn more about hermitting!

I was able to get in some stitchy time and worked on my first ever biscornu!

Progress as of 04/22/18

I received the chart, fabric (which was already cut into two small squares) and floss from a good friend who didn't want to stitch it way back in 2010 or 2011. I started it then but soon got bored with it and into the pile it went. Now as I am TRYING to empty the WIP Box of projects this one came up in rotation. Looking at the chart I realized there was NO possible way it was going to fit on that small piece of aida. Why didn't I realize that way back then? Who knows; maybe I had plans to change it then but since it was at the bottom of the box for so long I can't remember! 

Ok... back on track! I changed the things I wanted to change on the chart I had and finished one of  the squares. I was just going to stitch it twice, once for the top and then again for the bottom but once I finished the first square I changed my mind. So I opened up PC Stitch and designed a simple square that could be the other side! It will look just like what you see on the right side, just flipped around to form the square. Then will be the tricky assembly but that will be for another week as it is time to put this back in the box and move on to the next thing.

So that brings me to the WIP Box. I think I have made an executive decision (since it is only me, I wasn't overruled!) about the four UFOs still left untouched in the box! Since I still have some new starts (and who doesn't prefer a NEW start to a UFO) I will work in the remaining UFOs when something is finished and moved out. I started feeling that I might NEVER get anything finished since it is hard to work on 18 different pieces and it seems as though it takes to long to get back to each project!

Next weekend will be WIPocalypse weekend!!

I hope you'll join in!

Well that was a long post, so I will go for now!
