We will discuss this issue in a minute--
but first--what got worked on this week--
on a blog site last Sunday--I believe someone showed this cross stitch that she was working on and said it was a free pattern--and as it's a word that is important to me--I found it--
And I just fell down that Rabbit hole and stitched this up--I added tiny red glass beads to the wreath instead of using embroidery knots--But then--I wanted one that I could leave out all year--so--
and did a second one in Blues and did the wreath to look more like a grapevine wreath--remember when they were sooo popular?????? Well--I still like some country stuff!!! Need to do a little bow on the wreath yet--these will probably be little pillows this week--
And here is where I left Mrs. Claus--before she popped back into 'time out'--
All the brown stuff is all stitched in, now--yea!!!!
And the next 'rabbit hole' I jumped into is--
Melisa's Summer sampler--we will have '9' blocks of summer squares when we are done--I am doing good in getting caught up--yea!!!
And yesterday--I happened to pick up my embroidered hexies I did in Feb and March and started to stitch them together--
Those little triangles, are paper pieced--and they are small---but love how this is coming out!!
And yesterday I went to put my Easter stuff in my storage unit and could only but the small tote and one other item in there--it is full--(remember these are very small units--like 2ft by 4ft--and half of it is my Christmas tree and Christmas stuff--) but I still have 2 tote bags of Easter and they will have to go up on the top shelf of my clothes closet--so to make room up there I had to bring done the box of my quilt patterns, with knitting books and cross stitching patterns in it--so I decided to go through them all--now that is where ---TOO MANY' WANT TO DO'S --happened--
I bought this pattern booklet back in 2011--and it cost me $50.00 just for this one pattern--I am shocked I paid that price--but take time and look at the patterns--aren't they so cute--and there is cats in it---all embroidery--so
this morning I traced off Pattern #1--need to see how many floss colors I have for this one--there will be alot of stitching in each one--wonder if I should do them all in 'one' color like--red or blue---but then I tell myself--what fun would that be?????????????
And here is some other projects I would love to do--many--I again have had for a long time--


And I found this series--
I did do a couple of these--back when I still lived in New York--so have had them at least 10-12 years or more--Would like to do them now--but stitch them all my hand and use brighter colors--
there is a set of 5 of these--or at least that is what I have here!!
At Walmart last week I found these--
Clue in a card game--hummmm??????? I remember when I was like 7-9 or so--we always went to my Aunt Judy's house for picnics and big dinners and the adults always played the game Clue--us 'young'ns ' weren't allowed to play!!!
I see next month's color is 'orange'--well--I need to change that for me--will tell you all about it in the next post--and anyone want to guess what color I will be doing???? remember we did my favorite color this month--pink--so it's not pink!!!!
KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN AND THOSE MACHINES AND NEEDLES BUSY--
THINKING OF EACH OF YOU--EVEN THOSE WHO READ MY POSTS AND NEVER LEAVE A COMMENT AND I PRAY FOR EACH OF YOU EVERYDAY--
HUGS, AND HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK--DI
