A Cross Stitched Cake!

My wonderful children had a surprise party for my birthday, and my talented youngest daughter Kristin made the cake! 

...and then there were four.....

I just couldn't help myself.....I had to fill up the piece of fabric....that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!

Another Round Robin Piece Finished

This is Nancy's piece for our 5 person Round Robin.  She chose Shades of Brown by ????? 

Nancy Stitched the border and the rest of us each stitched two leaves and whatever when along with the leaves.










Since I was the last person to stitch on it, the piece is now complete and has been send home to
Nancy where it will be make into a pillow.

Woodland Snowfall times 2

The first one stitched up so quickly, and I had room on the piece of fabric, so I stitched a second one.

Another Piece of Birthday Stitching

Marguerite stitched this lovely piece for my birthday!  Since we will both be 60 this year, she was kind enough not to put our age on it!

Thank you Marguerite!

A Special Birthday Envelope!

I received a birthday mail art from Antje in Fort Hood, Texas a few days ago! 















The back of the envelope has a QR code, and when I scanned it with my phone, I got the message "Happy Birthday"!  How creative!

Inside the envelope was a birthday card, a bookmark to stitch, some floss and some DMC charts!

Thank you Antje!

It's Good to be Green

 I stitched this cute little guy over the weekend.  It's a free chart by Just Another Button Company or Sam Sarah Design, can't remember which.  It will be an ornament someday.

Woodland Snowfall

 Here is an ornament from a past issue of Just Cross Stitch's Ornament Issue.  It is Woodland Snowfall by Little House Needleworks.  Ornamentification will be at a later date.

Chicken Scratch

This past EGA guild meeting gave us a project for Valentine's Day.  It was originally scheduled for the end of February, but that meeting was cancelled due to weather, so now we are ahead of the game for next Valentine's Day.  These little hearts will be made into cards once I get the card stock.

TUSAL Report

Here is the ort jar as of March 1st.  lots of stitching this past month, not as much as I would have liked but by looking at the orts, not too shabby!

February Progress and March Goals

February wasn't a bad month stitching wise, but I have had better.  Life continues to be busy and gets in the way of my stitching. Hopefully March will be better....
