Pre-Birthday Celebration



Blue Jean Teddy Quilt



Superbowl Tree

My first-grade team is taking me out for our birthday/Christmas celebration tomorrow so I'm not going to my stitching night.  So I decided to treat myself to some pre-birthday stitching tonight.  I was able to finish the rotation on my blue jean teddy baby quilt and get myself halfway finished with Roger's superbowl tree.  Woo-hoo.  I also posted a picture of my Christmas lights.  I'm really proud of myself!

Sampler Club

A few years ago, the Tuesday night stitching club began our sampler club.  Half of us are working on a Christmas sampler by Victoria Sampler; the other half is working on an alphabet sampler by Drawn Threads.  We haven't been getting together lately, so I'm not getting anything done on my sampler (I don't know how to do hardanger).  I talked to Diane and she agreed to let me start the sampler club back up and running in January.  So I'll be busy again the 3rd Thursday of each month.

Needlepoint

Nutcracker Needlepoint

Mom and I worked LPB's pledge drive tonight.  After running errands and answering phones all day, I decided to snuggle up with the kitty and get some stitching done.  I finished my nutcracker needlepoint rotation!  I finished his hat and the top part of his face (up to his eyes).  This needlepoint piece is the whole reason I do rotation stitching in the first place.  If it wasn't for forcing myself to add it to the rotation, it would never get stitched on because I am not a needlepoint fan.  It's such a cute piece though so I need to stitch on it.

Stitching Night

Well, I finally went back to stitching night at Cross Stitch Corner.  I got a lot done on my final Superbowl Tree.  Bought some stuff, too, but I couldn't resist.  It was designs by my favorite designer, Nora Corbett (aka Miribilia).  I bought thread and necessities, too.  My Weeks Quilting Threads came in, too.  Speaking of which, I need to see if any of them are Mom's.  Well, here's the tree...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Went to Mom's for Thanksgiving and got some serious stitching done.  Mom finished a project at my house last weekend and couldn't let her top me so I finished my Halloween Fairy.  I also did some stitching on my Thanksgiving Fairy in honor of the season.

Superbowl Tree #8

I was curled up on the couch with the kitty feeling sorry for myself cuz I don't feel good.  Figured I'd use my pitty pot time to finish the rotation on my Christmas stocking.  Got a lot done this rotation.  I'm actually working on the little boy's head now.  I've also added a picture of the progress on my last Superbowl tree.  This one's for Roger.

Daddy's Superbowl Tree

I finished another Superbowl Tree!  This one is Daddy's.  Now I only have Roger's left to finish.  Daddy, if you're reading this, Merry Christmas!  Get over it not being a surprise.  Woo hoo!
