Three Out of Four Ain't Bad

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

So yeah....I was a bad little stitcher and only got three of the four onesies done in time for the shower.



By the time I put the last stitch in the third onesie at 10:30 pm Friday night, I knew I wouldn't be able to stitch the fourth one. I couldn't keep my eyes open! I miss the days when I could stay up half the night, stitching my heart out....

Oh well. ;)





I suppose I could still stitch up the the fourth one and give it to the baby after she's born, right? You know, when I visit her for the first time. Yeah. I think I'll do that. :)



(Pattern by Sublime Stitching.)

Well, you know how it goes, my darlings...I will be back soon with more stitchy goodness! Until then...

Happy Stitching!

Me+Onesies=Procrastination

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

I don't what it is about onesies that makes me wait until the very last minute to stitch them.



See these? Notice how not one single stitch has been made? I ironed on the transfers a few hours ago...but I still haven't started stitching. Which wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to have these done by this Saturday.

Yup, that's right. The shower is this Saturday and I've barely started the onesies.

I'm not too worried, though. I've done this before, and the results were fabulous, if I do say so myself. ;)

So stay tuned, darlings, for I shall return within the next couple days with pictures of completed onesies. Until then...

Happy Stitching!

Paste Pillow

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

I haven't done much stitching lately. Ugh, I know. It's either been uncomfortably hot or I've been too darn tired. However, I did manage to get a wee little bit of sewing done.





I love this pillow. As you may recall, the fabric came from my grandma's house. So did the buttons! Yay!! I love me some vintage buttons. Yes indeed! :)

Well, that's it for now, darlings. No stitching=nothing to blog about, boo. But I do have a lot on my to-do list, so I plan to be back soon with info on that. So stay tuned! Until then...

Happy Stitching!

Please Don't Eat the Paste

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

I finished what I started last night:



Well, mostly finished what I started. I still have to sew this into a pillow. Hopefully I won't get lazy sidetracked and put it off too long.

This was a quick, fun stitch. Very fun. The only problem I encountered was with my stupid needle. Oh, how I hate stitching with new needles. The one I used last night was slippery and didn't want to cooperate. It made my thumb hurt! Stupid needle. I finally wised up when I was 99.9% done with the stitching and ditched my stupid embroidery needle for a well-worn cross stitch needle.

Anywho...

Here are some more pics!









I've never used such a bold color for embroidery before! I think it works. I find myself looking at new colors, patterns, and types of material lately and wondering how embroidery will adapt to them. I am, for the most part, a gal who uses plain muslin for everything. It's fun to break outta that mold every once in a while. ;)

(Don't forget, if you want this pattern, go here and follow the instructions for how to obtain it.)

Well, that's it for now, my lovelies! I have some cool stuff that I will be working on soon, so stayed tuned for more stitchy goodness. I will have some cool pics to share with you. Until then...

Happy Stitching!

Sunday Night Start

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

The last thing I need to do is start something new...I have plenty of wips right now, not to mention a few gifts & swap items that I need to be working on.

But when I saw this cute freebie from Wild Olive, I knew I needed to get started on it right away!





What's especially neat about this project is the fabric I'm using, both the solid and the print, came from my grandma's house.

I can't wait to sit down this evening and put some stitches in this! I foresee great cuteness in my future... :)

That's all for now. I'll be back soon! Until then...

Happy Stitching!

Finally, Four Onesies

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

I finished the other three onesies Monday night.



They're all ready to be gift wrapped. I think they look so cute in their little box.



I love each little doggie. Look at how cute they are, all lined up!



They stitched up in a snap. I don't know why I kept putting them off.

Just look at that face!



I used Gerber Organic Onesies. I love these 'cause stabilizer is unnecessary, in my opinion.

I am relieved to be done with these onesies, 'cause the shower is this weekend! Talk about waiting 'til the last minute. In all honesty, though, I probably could whip out ten more of these onesies by Saturday if I had to. That's how much I enjoyed stitching them.

That's it for now, my darlings! I have a mile-long list of stitchy items I need to do, so I will be back soon with more goodness to share. Until then...

Happy Stitching!

One Onesie

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

One down...



...three to go!

I will be back soon to show you the other three onesies...until then...

Happy Stitching!
