My Frog RR

I stitched another froggie on my Frog RR. One more block and a border between the two sections to go! This little cutie came from the August 2004 issue of Crafts 'N Things magazine.


Here is the whole thing so far. It's getting close.

For the rest of the weekend and all of next week, I will be dividing my project time between a quilt and BoInk.

Dogs and Pin Cushions

I decided to buy a pre-made doggie hat for Pete to see if he would wear it or not. I would love to make him some doggie costumes but I don't want to go to all that trouble just to find out that he won't wear it. He looks so cute in it but he really doesn't like it at all. He will wear a bandana around his neck if the weather is cool enough so I guess that will have to do.


I am done with all of the pin cushion ladies! Yay! I am relieved. Now on to the next obligation project which is a RR piece.

Pin Cushion Ladies

This is what I've been working on. I have to make 80 ladies. Yikes! I'm hoping to finish them all in a week.

Busy, Busy!

As you can see, I have no crafty updates. Spring is always a busy time for me. We seem to expand our garden a little more each year so I have been out there planting, watering, composting, and weeding. If all goes well, I will be harvesting tomatoes, squash, zucchini, green beans, purple hull peas, Lima beans, corn, cucumbers, potatoes, swiss chard, and various peppers. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

I am hoping to get a few crafty things done this month though. I have a RR piece that I need to work on and I promised my Mom to help her make 60+ pin cushion ladies (It's a pot with a painted face and a pin cushion hat) that she is making for a Mother's Day banquet. When we get some of those done, I will post a photo. They really do turn out cute.

I also need to work on my cousin's quilt but I doubt I could finish it by the end of this month.

BoInk Update

It's getting close! Just two more blocks and the rest of the borders to go!

A Quilt Finish!!

I have finally finished Emily's quilt! It's only a few months late. *sheepish grin* Now I need to work on Nathan's quilt. I have to rip out some mistakes and then re-quilt it. Hopefully that won't be as hard as I'm thinking it will be.

Happy Dance!

I have another finish! Yay! This is Dragonfly Sampler designed by Wendy Mosbacher from the the Just Cross Stitch magazine August 2005 issue. I stitched it on Glass Blue Monaco. I truly love this design! It has everything that I love, frogs, dragonflies, turtles, and waterlillies. I didn't enjoy all of the lazy daisy stitches but it was worth it.
