Another Stitching Night

Guess who I saw at the stitch shop tonight--Nikki and Makayla.  Yeah.  I miss them both.  Things have been so crazy we haven't been able to meet up.  But we spent some quality time tonight.  And guess what--Nikki even stitched!  I was so proud of her.  Ha ha. Here's what I got done tonight.



Sweet Moon-before



Sweet Moon-after

On a Finishing Roll...

I finished another piece.  Since I found the wonderful memorial pattern that I stitched for Nikki and Joey, I decided to do one for Ms. Connie.  She lost her kitty, Emily, who was a dear companion to her.  Since she's elderly and lives alone, this loss hit her hard.  So I stitched her the kitty memorial. 

Back to my Routine (I hope)

First of all--Happy Birthday Mary and Cathy!

Now on to cross stitch stuff.  Mom and I are trying to get back into our Tuesday night stitching routine.  So much has gotten in the way.  We were really late tonight, but we made it.  Mom had a quilting class and I had a faculty meeting.  Didn't get home for dinner until 5:30.  We didn't leave for the shop until 6.  But we went anyway and stitched our hearts out.  I worked some more on Sweet Moon for Bethie's angels.

I'm finishing the bottom of the moon's crescent, then I'm done (until it's time to add the date and the name) and on to Sweet Moon's twin.

Another Finish!

Most of you know that Nikki and Joey had to put Saphire to sleep about a month ago.  She was a wonderful dog and I felt she needed to be remembered.  I found a sweet pattern on Hoffman and stitched it for her.  Now I just need to take it to get framed. 

Sweet Moon Success

Since someone who will remain nameless (Bethie) decided to get knocked up with twins, I was trying to come up with a cute baby sampler that would be fun to do twice.  That's where Sweet Moon came in the picture.  But I always had my heart set on mirror imaging the moons so that the baby samplers could "talk" to each other like the babies will.  Kinko's made it happen!  They mirror imaged my pattern so I can stitch the 2nd moon facing the 1st moon.  I'm so excited!  I'm almost finished sampler 1 (without baby info of course) and will be ready to mirror image soon!

Here's my progress on Sweet Moon so far...

Finished Stitching

I finished stitching on Bethie's surprise.  Now I just need to "finish" the pieces.  Robin taught me how to finish them the way I want them done.  Now I just need to do it.  One step closer, though.  Yeah me!

Another Project Finished

Tina's Mardi Gras Tree

Wasn't feeling well tonight so Mom and I skipped stitching.  I took a shower early and stitched with Bobtail in bed.  Guess it was worth it cuz I finished another project!  Tina's Mardi Gras tree is done.  Now I just need to get her and Roger's trees framed then they're ready for delivery.  Go me!
