Great Saturday & stitching to share....

Nicole came over today we had a great day catching up, it's been too long since she's been here. There was lots of chatting & laughing, a nice lunch out & then we got down to business & STITCHED! ;-) We both love the new Little House Needleworks "Simple Joys" so we decided to have our own SAL. ;-) I had some 32 ct Lakeside Buttercream that I've been drooling over for awhile (don't worry, it was in a bag & protected) & decided it needed to be used for this. So we cut the fabric, pulled threads & got to it. We both finished the border this afternoon - yeah for us! This is going to be a fun stitch, and I can't wait to get back to it this evening. :-)

Below are pics of some of the things I've stitched over the past month or so & not finished (or posted!). There are a couple more, but I don't know where they are right this second. Some are ornaments for myself or for the Pals Fall Fling coming up in October. Some are pieces I stitched "just because".

Sue Hillis ornament from 2008 JCS Mag - model has buttons, but my "finishing" isn't done yet, so we'll see what I decide to do....

Erica Michaels - have had this one kitted for years! Took it to the beach & started it there.....

An ornament from an older Leisure Arts magazine. It's so simple but I love embroidery and I think it's adorable!!

A pattern that I found online - love this one! I decided to make the birds blue & add a few blue buttons....

Heartstring Samplery - I Will Stitch You In My Heart - with colors changes, of course! I stitched this one at the beach a couple of weeks ago.

Heart In Hands - Monthly Markings May - just love this little birdie!

That's all for now! :-)

Thanks for stopping by & happy stitching!!
