Happy Easter and update

I have been very busy at work with tax season, so I am a little behind, but still managed to stitch a little. I wanted to finish the Witches Stitch Too as my niece's birthday is the 7th.

Here is what I have stitched on the past two weeks.

  “Yellow Rose with Bud” The Eloquent Count Rose by Dale Burdett

This will be framed and given as a gift.

 

    “Witches Stitch Too!!” Homespun elegance – Birthday Gift for Niece who loves Halloween.

I used the stand up finish from Vonna of the Twisted Stitcher. She has wonderful tutorials.

This was my first try and I am proud of how it turned out.

Weekly Update

Good morning all from rainy and cold SE Texas. I work for a CPA doing tax preparing and accounting, so of course this is my busy time of the year. I come home in the evenings and unwind by stitching. I now have 17 items in my rotations, the newest,"Witches Stitch Too!!!"-Homespun Elegance  will be a birthday gift for my niece in April. She loves Halloween, so I thought this would be neat for her to add to her Halloween collection. I won the chart "Witches Stitch Too!!!"-Homespun Elegance and also, Pumpkin Gingham-Twisted Threads from Riona at Oubliette (her blog).

This has been a good week of receiving great items in the mail. Next, I won a give a way from Toni at Easy Street Ramblings. She was part of the 2015 Grow Your Blog Party.

I am also in the Christmas Crafter's Ornament Exchange. This week I received my ornament from Mary G for the Feb-April 2015 exchange. (I am still stitching hers)
