Howdy...

Todays stitch is a little fun one.. 

It is also a repeat [redo] project I did years ago for exchanges and wanted to do for myself.
None of these redos will be done in the same way as the first time, I dont think, but I am still undecided as of now.

So here is the first one I did in 2012...

I just love this little stitch.. So much so this is the third one I have done.. 

The first 2 were back in  2012, made for a couple friends as christmas cards... 

I chose to do only the bottom half of the design with teh words to fit on the card blanks I had.

2 different colorways, but i dont remember which colors I used back then.

 Ok so today I am late with posting this one.... 
I finished him May 26th, 2023... 
excuse the hoop marks, I hadnt ironed him yet.
Not sure how I will finish him, but I was contemplating a flatfold with a tinsel trim.

I think he is just the cutest thing... 

Designer - Waxing Moon Designs

Fabric - 14 ct oatmeal fiddlers, not light version, so its more yellow

Fibers - 3 strands Called for DMC, except I changed the border from the grey to white.

Until next time... 

Happy Stitching!!!

Updated June 1....

SOooo.. how you alls morning going today??? this fine fine saturday... 

Mine you ask??.... welll.... heres how mine is going.. 

i throw my pillow into the dryer to fluff it as i do EVERY WEEKEND... but this time...

i come back to my EXPLODED memory foam PILLOW in my dryer, now my roomate has been cleaning it up for me.. 

THEN.... i go to the mailbox, and to get the garbage can, and there is a poor morning dove on my driveway dead.. 

so i go get gloves and when i picked it up to place it somewhere else, it was still warm, i felt so awful for it.. they mate for life and now another morning dove will be alone.. so yeah.. a shitty morning for me so far..

BUT... 

I vow to make the rest of the weekend better... my plans you ask?

~~freeze the cheeses, 1 done, 1 to go...

~~ 2 very large batches of french toast to freeze, 1 regular, 1 pumpkin...not yet

~~ A batch of freezer breakfast burritos...nope.. 

~~ making a new pillow case for my EXPLODED pillow...maybe i can salvage it...decided against it, the memory foam was wierd so i tossed it.. 

~~ mending clothes

~~ sorting out fabric scraps to start a Kawandi lap quilt for myself, task started... 

~~ finishing another cross stitch ornament or two, finished 2...

 So I finally did a couple St. Pattys day smalls...

Here is the first.. 

Design - catholicsprouts.com, but i am unable to find the link to it again.
Fabric - a pretty mint green, although the pic shows blue
Fibers - Rumple Beary Rumors -  #49, tide pool   and   DMC - 699

Today I have this lovely little stitch
I tried finding it to buy, because I was just curious, but never did.  Seems they only do needlepoint now.
I think it will look great with a red tinsel around when finished, and a beaded tassle at the bottom.

I have a second one to do in blues, also threads from RBR... 

Finished 05.09.2023
Design: Christmas Diamonds - Finger Step Designs
Fabric: 14 ct white opalescent
Fibers: Rumple beary Rumors - #49, Tide Pool and a non numbered Chinese Red

Until next time.. 

Happy Stitching!!!
