My Latest Updates

Last week was pretty hectic and crazy so I was lucky to get anything stitched at all! In between laundry and other chores, I managed to do a little.

Here's my latest update of BoInk. Next weekend I'll probably do the outline for the knot on the other side and hopefully fill both sides in with the green. Wow, that sounds like a lofty goal! Well, I'm going to try.


This is Croakworth. I really love this piece. I never realized that quaker type design were so much fun.

June Progress


I LOVE this project!! It's going to have all the things that I love on it. Frogs, turtles, waterlilies, and dragonflies!


Here is latest progress on BoInk. After I finish the right corner block, I need to work some more of the border. I work on this every Sunday and I seem to be getting a lot accomplished that way. I think I need to assign a project to each day of the week and actually get a lot done on them as well.

My Open Theme Round Robin Has Come Home



Here it is!! Of course, the theme I chose was frogs. ;) I'm planning to fill in any empty blocks and I have a cute little froggy border to add as well. I have to say that it turned out alot better than I could have imagined. I am so happy with it!! Believe me, it looks so much better in real life. The fabric is Ocean Dreams Mystique on 28 ct. Jobelan from Enchanted Fabrics. You can't really see the true fabric color from this photo but it is really pretty.

May's Progress


Yes, I have started a new project! This is Dragonfly Sampler designed by Wendy Mosbacher. It came from the August 2005 issue of Just Cross Stitch magazine. I am stitching it on Glass Blue Monaco. This is the reason I don't have any progress pics of BoInk to share. I just couldn't put this down!


This is my latest progress on "Life Is Good." I love how much it looks like some of my dogs that I have owned over the years.

Last Round of the Open Theme Round Robin


I have waiting for the chance to stitch this one! This is Ground Hog Day by Bent Creek that I stitched for Debbi's Holiday Themed RR. Those of you familiar with the design will notice that the green swirls and confetti are supposed to be red and the red ones are supposed to be green. That's what happens when you stitch past midnight! Both symbols were circles, one hollow and the other colored in. It was an honest mistake. It still looks cute so I left it the way it was. :-)

My RR piece should be coming soon. I can't wait to see it!

My progress



Here is my latest progress on BoInk. Last week, I did quite a bit of stitching and then pretty much had to rip it all out due to a slight miscount. So I had to fix everything and I now have block #3 done. Saturday I woke up with a migraine that lasted half the day so I was lucky to be feeling well enough to stitch Sunday evening.

I've been working on a RR piece so until I get my square finished, there won't be many update photos.

Progress and a Finish!


This is what I got done on Book of Ink Circles. I finished the second block which was my goal. It's not much but it's still progress.

I finished How Does Your Garden Grow! This is the main reason I didn't get much done on BoInk. I'm glad to have this completed. I will work on that stain Monday.
