Turtle Trot monthly update and weekly update

Hi Blogger Friends.  It's time for my turtle trot update.  This is a SAL being hosted by Claudette of BAP Attack.  We pick 10 projects to work on throughout the year and see how many we can finish.  We post pictures on our progress each 10th of the month.
I also stitched on a few other WIPS as I have 15 in my rotation which includes an ornament for a quarterly exchange. I am a big sports fan, so I have been watching the Houston Astros and the Houston Rockets, so a lot of stitching goes on. The Houston Astros are playing great baseball this year and the Houston Rockets are having a hard time, but I am still a big fan.
First are my pictures of the 10 turtle trot projects.

Updated blog

The WIPs are Sweet Song of Christmas-one of The 12 days of a Texas Christmas-Redbird Designs, Snowman and Friends Christmas Stocking, Yellow Rose- Dale Burdett, March Calendar Girl-Littlehouse Needleworks, and Seasons Greeting ornament-Little House Needleworks.


April 15th has come and gone for another year. As you know I work for a CPA doing taxes here in the USA. Therefore, my stitching has been very little the last couple of weeks. I did put a few stitches in a few WIPs. Also, working a little everyday on the Yellow Rose. It will be a gift this next Saturday. I am a member of Beta Sigma Phi, an international Friendship sorority and I was chosen Sister With Something Extra in 2014. This year I get to honor the new Sister With Something Extra for 2015. Our flower is The Yellow Rose, so I thought I would stitch her a pretty Yellow Rose. Next week I will show you the completed Rose. I have enjoyed stitching it.
My lovely daughter has a birthday on April 16. She has become a great lady and has made me a wonderful Mother and Grandmother.
It is a beautiful Sunday morning with the Sun shining. We had severe thunder storms Friday night with lighting and lots of rain, but it is now passed.
Have a great week with lots of stitching and whatever life throws your way.

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.
