I do have a lot more Progress on The Witching Hour!

I am enjoying the pattern but the black does get to me!  I think I have used at least 5 skeins so far on this one.  Here is where I stopped this week. That corner there will complete page 3.

Lots Of Updates!

Good Evening from here in Smithfield Rhode Island!  I will be having lots of updates here since I have not been showing my stitching for so long.  This update is of my Frisky Friends Tree Skirt.  My last update was March 8 2018.  I had 2122 stitches in this skirt.  Since then I have added another 737 stitches.  So here is the pics of the last and the new photo.

I am enjoying this one since it is stitched on 11 count so it is giving my eyes a break.

The Unwanted Visitor Is Here!!!

I was trying so hard to get my 1st page done on my Black Wolf but the fro came for a visit and it is so persistent not wanting to leave! เซฌ๐Ÿ˜ฃ After I stitched in 275 stitches I find that I was off by one stitch.  The error is in the bottom left on the green and blue section.  So I am now ripping it out.  I wanted so bad to just put it away and go on to another WIP but if I did that I would probably never pick it up again.  Hopefully get back to my Sals this weekend. Here is my last update and my new update.

So I need to take out 115 stitches tonight.  While I do that I am going to treat myself with a new cup of mocha coffee with this new creamer.  Yummy!!!!!

Happy Stitching everyone!

I stitched with Friday Off the Grid for 6 hours last night.  I do have some progress but it doesn't look like a lot.  I stitched 489 stitches.  Here is my update along with the last one so you can see the difference.


Lots of grays and blues.  Next color is 939 Very Dark Navy Blue.
Happy Stitching!
As for my day today, I had my sister here for coffee this morning, chatted with my daughter Kristina from Florida and then had a meeting with my lawyer.  Very busy day today.  Now I will sit and stitch ๐Ÿ˜

My Try at Cross Country and I Like It!!!

So I am a little late showing my progress for Fridays stitch in.  Here is a pic of my last stitch and what I did on Friday.  I finished 413 Dk Pewter gray on this page and now stitching 160 Medium Gray Blue and stitching all that color on this page.  I believe its called cross-country.  I managed to stitch 666 stitches on Friday

I am liking this cross-country!  Little more complicating but when the page starts coming to life it is exciting!

I have included a pic of my Ninja playing in the leaves.

Started Over On Black Wolf This Past Weekend

Over this weekend I stitched on Kustom Krafts Black Wolf.  Was stitching it on a gray linen but decided to start again on an off white fabric since it is total coverage and you will not see the fabric anyway.  Plus the linen was pretty expensive.  So the first update is what I stitched on the linen and the other is the off white fabric.  Before I started over I had put in 314 stitches in the linen.  The second o
update is where I started over and put in 692 stitches.


Happy Stitching!!

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year!  For this New Year of 2018 I decided to join a few Sals to help me get some of my WIPs and UFOs done.  At the moment I am stitching on Amongst the Tulips by Haed.  I have put in quite a few stitches.  Will insert pics here.

I have put in 1706 stitches in as of August 30, 2015 here is the update from then.  This is the upper left hand corner of the top of the page.
I will do an update later of my stitching on this one.  It is a Haed, Amongst the Tulips by Garmashova.

Been Away But I have Been Stitching!

I have started a new one!  It is called Wise Owl from Dimensions.  I am stitching it for my daughter Ashli. Here is a photo of the pattern and how much I have done.
Here is what I have done.  125 stitches so far.  At the moment I am blending a grey and a blue which is the trees.  It is the right top page in the middle.  It is worked on 14 ct white aida.



The way I am stitching is with the cross country stitching where you stitch 1 color at a time until you finish your first page.  I love this style of stitching.

Witching Hour

Progress as of August 27th 2013


I have been stitching a lot the past few days.  

I do have some other non-stitchy things going on also.  My daughter Ashli is back at Bryant University Sept 2nd for her second year of  her four years to get her Bachelors Degree and then on to Med School and then 2 yrs for her Masters then 5 yrs for her  Psychology PHD Degree.  Hmmm, lets see thats 10 more years, Oh My Gosh!!!

My husband went to his Mom's to check on here pool and found a tiny snapper turtle in it.  He brought it to our house and my daughter and her boyfriend decided to adopt it until it was old enough to be released.  This snapper is so tiny!  My daughter knows alot about turtles since she owns two.  So they have a new addition for the time being and his name is Koopa.  Here is a pic of Koopa.
Well, I do need to show you a pic of a new visitor to my bird feeder!  Really do not want to see this visitor again.
Pedigree Falcon

Swooped right in to my birdfeeder to take a bird!  Luckily, all my birds had another day to eat at my feeders :)

Of course, I need to show a pic of my sweeties!!!



My Boots 
Happy Stitching!

Happy Easter!!!

I want to wish all of you a very Happy Easter!  We will be having dinner here and I am serving Lasagna.  I know I am breaking the tradition, lol but we do not like ham and will not eat lamb.  We love Lasagna and I do not get time to make it that often.











As far as stitching I have stitched on Gardens Like Quilts and have finished page one and half done with page two.












I am enjoying this pattern and will continue with it and throw in Frederick this month.
Have a great Easter and Stitchy Hugs to all!
