Pink Ribbon Pinup

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

I've been working on several things lately.



Unfortunately, that pic above has nothing to do with any of my current projects. I was supposed to make a new Halloween cross-stitchery for my walls, using those gorgeous Fall colors you see above, but I never got to it. It's a cute pattern; take a peek at it here. It will have to wait 'til next year, I suppose.

One thing I have made progress on is this pinup piece for a swap:



As you can see, this little lady is serious about Breast Cancer Awareness Month and hopes you are, too! Get the girls checked, ladies. :0)

I am also involved in another swap, and will have more on that for you soon. I expect to be finished with the piece in a few days, so stay tuned for pics. I am pretty excited about this project. :)

I also recently purchased a super-cute ornament kit from Wild Olive's Etsy shop. Oh my, I am in love! I can't wait to get started on these.



Well, that's all for now, my darlings! As you can see, I have TONS of work to do, which means I will have lots of stitchy goodness to share with you soon! Until then...

Happy Stitching!

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

Wow, I am such a slacker lately about blogging. Yikes, sorry. What can I say, I've been busy with non-stitchy things.

I did, however, do some stitching a couple weeks ago. The super talented Mollie of Wild Olive asked me if I could do her a little favor. She was busy preparing for her Etsy shop update, and asked if could help her out by stitching a new pattern for her. Well, when Mollie comes a-calling, I answer!



Eeeeeeh! The cuteness! Go to her shop & get these patterns! All twelve days of Christmas are represented, and the things you could do are endless. Ornaments, stockings, banners...hmmm...

Speaking of Mollie, she recently tagged me. She included pics with her answers when she did this, but I am feeling pretty darn lazy really super busy today so pics won't be included in mine.

1) What books are on your favorite shelf?

**My books are scattered throughout my house in different rooms, but my current favorite books are on my sewing desk. All my stitchy books are there, including three Japanese embroidery books (squeal!), Stitched in Time by Alicia Paulson and Embroidered Effects by Jenny Hart.

2)What DVDs are on your favorite shelf?

**The Office, Friends, and tons of stuff for my kids.

3)What are your two favorite cookbooks?

**I have a little notebook that has family favorites in it. I refer to it again and again. It's small, worn, and about 13 years old, but it's definitely my fave. :) My other favorite is...um...I dunno! I really like my Taste of Home magazines. Does that count?

4) Select 1-3 recipes that you will cook for your special guests.

**Well, special guests rarely include anyone outside of family members (Candi, you're considered family around here), so anything I prepare for them is gonna be pretty simple. Enchiladas! Yum.

5)What will we be drinking that's available?

**Tequila!! Just kidding. Milk & water, we've always got that. Soda if you're lucky. :)

And because I am feeling pretty darn lazy really super busy today, everyone who reads this is tagged! If you play along, let me know so I can take a peek at your answers.

Well, that's it for now, my beloved bloggy friends. I am currently working on a couple of swaps that I hope to be able to share with you soon. Until then...

Happy Stitching!
