Mystery SAL

Mystery SAL

Marianne is hosting this mystery SAL & here's the first part of it. It's a Christmas design in which we will all get 1 part per month until it's finished. Already anxious to get the next part. Also been stitching on Sunny a little this week but was too lazy to take a pic. Maybe next post.

I did manage to get the family together last night for a movie. We all have been wanting to see Toy Story 3. It was soooo good & we related to it so much. Such a tear jerker. Tyler was 3 when the first one came out. I can remember him running around the house with his Buzz & Woody & yelling "to infinity & beyond." Just this last year he moved onto a college campus. How fitting for Toy Story 3 to come out when Tyler went to college. It's almost as if Andy is Tyler. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. Until next time, keep on stitching :)

IHSW - February

QS Sunny

Here's my Monday update after International Hermit & Stitch Weekend (IHSW). As you can see, I didn't accomplish a lot but I guess a little is better than none. I've started another HAED design - QS Sunny. Thought I'd alternate between QS Sunny & QS Grumpy Red Fairy. Purchased her on Valentine's weekend then had hubby take me out to dinner & to purchase cross stitch stash. This is 1601 stitches. Hope you all had a great stitchy weekend. Until next time, keep on stitching :)

Sledding Penguin

Sledding Penguin

Designed by Marie Cole

Sewn on 14ct. Plastic

I finished this little guy up a few days ago but have just now gotten around to posting a pic. I've been frozen with all the snow that's been falling. He reminds me so much of Chilly Willy from the cartoon I watched as a kid. Anyone remember Chilly Willy the Penguin? I changed the design a little, used metallic gold thread on the sled, didn't sew the bird that was suppose to go above his head & used silver wire instead of the black. Will now go back to stitching on Grumpy. Hope you're all staying warm. Until next time, keep on stitching :)
