I THINK TODAYS NO. IS 24!!!

 Oh yes I do know today's date is--May 28th--but there is also a 'couple' 24's for today!!!

First up --is this week's heart block--

this weeks was just the saying with the ring of French knots all around it--like 5 rows of French knots, but you know me--gotta do something a bit different--so  first I appliqued a fabric heart on the piece and then embroidered the words on--a heart button will go in the point of the heart--and I got 2 rows of French knots done before my wrist gave out!!

And I decided to start a new mystery stitch along by thelittleredhenonline.com-

And it is called Jack-O-lantern lane and it is done in wool--and there is a story that goes with the mystery--so that is 'cute'--I even got brave (or lazy--cause I didn't want to take time to go though all my wool scraps and find colors that might be close to what she has done--plus I was pretty sure I did not have an orange piece large enough for the pumpkin--) and ordered the kit--which also means I get the buttons!! We will be getting 2 blocks a month--on the 6th and 20th of the month --believe there is 6 blocks total--so here is Mr. Jack-

Wonder if it was the silly pumpkin or that sexy black cat that forced me to do this mystery????

And I got another embroidery piece finished that I got for my birthday--the little flowers are French knots--so had a 'knotty' week!!!!!

And-- I know you have been waiting on pins and needles to see my next heart quilt that I have been working on--

And here are "24" blocks I have appliqued so far--not a real theme going here-- just fabrics that I really like--and I have seen at least 2 more fabrics I want to order a bit of, to add to these hearts!!

And I have spent  the last 2 days working on this mess--

Button--Button--who needs a button--rather which button do I want to sew onto this baby sweater???

And you guessed it--there is "24" sweaters in this batch--and 3 big packages of cute socks that I did mange to get it all into this box-

You can not even get another thing in the box now --that all the sweaters and socks are in it--may have to sit on it to close it and tape it??????

So you see-- I did have-- NO. 24 in my counts today--and it was not planned--it was just how it all worked out!!

Tuesday was a big shopping day out--went to Beall's, Walmart, and Dollar Tree and ate out at a Pizza-Pasta place in that plaza--!  Wednesday was a grocery shopping day--and I nearly had to go out on the street with a sign and ask for handouts to pay for it--best go back to adding it up as I put it in the cart again--like the 'olden' days!!!  and Thursday was laundry day--just so you know that I don't 'stitch' all the time!!!!!

Well--I chatted long enough for today--

BLESSINGS TO ALL WHO LOST ALOVED ONE IN BATTLE--

HUGS, DI
