Summer of 2015

Wow! Half the year is over and I haven't blogged a bit!  I have been busy crocheting tine flowers for my daughters' wedding in Sept.  I am stressed out on trying to get these done in time! I also crotched an owl  for my DIL. I am at the moment in Tennessee watching the grandkid for the summer and today it is 95* degrees and it  feels like 105! I have so much to blog ....but need to get off the PC. I deactivated my face book so I could get some stuff done!  Laurel

My 2014 Christmas Ornaments

The top picture is my 2014 ornaments for the grandkids!

The bottom pictures are the ones I did for my kids. They pick out the ones they like! The reindeer were also picked out by the grandkids.  I was so relieved to get them done cause od the great slump I got into. These didn't get finished till November! I am doing owls this 2015 for the grandkids. Also the reindeer are a Sue Hillis kit. 

 

WELCOME 2015!

I am trying to get rid of some of my stash. I am 60 and I know I will not stitch all of it. If you are looking to make your stash larger check out my Facebook stash page.

Time flies!

Wow ...how time flies! I see its been some time since I blogged. I really need to stay on my toes!

Wee here is what I have cookin'.  I have now completed 3 reindeer ornaments, with 6 more to go!

Then I started and finished an afghan.

 

And I started a C2C  (corner to corner) afghan.  Its much larger than this...I ran out of yarn. I used a brand new 1# red and its all gone!

 

 

 

So that's about it. I am also watching 3 grandkids while there mom and dad work.

 

Have a great Day! I will be back when I have finished the C2C.

PS: I am right around the corner from 60!

My Christmas ornaments for this year!

Well the New Year is already 2 months old!  I have been busy stitching my Christmas ornaments and thought I should get them posted. I usually don't finish them till around October. Here's what I got! The first one I stitched after last Christmas but it is for Christmas 2014. I may change the date.

 

 This one is has not been claimed by a grandkid yet.

 I plan on making each one of my kids around 3 dozen snowflakes each and some hearts for their trees. I still have to starch them.

 This deer is for Braylon!

This year I have decided to make all my kids snowflakes for their trees. A little more something to go along with the ornaments I make for them. The reindeer ornaments are being stitched for my grandkids and I now have 8 more to go! 

As always when I close....I am asking you to pray our Military and their Families.  May they all  stay safe....  Laurel

This is a pillow I made for her with her stitched piece. She is going to love it!

 

This piece was stitched in 2009 and I finally made it into a wall

hanging for my youngest daughter. 3 of my kids have Christmas

pieces and I am working on a Santa for my oldest daughter

 

Well off to finish the final four grand kid ornaments! Laurel

 

 

God Bless our Military and their families and may they all stay safe

At the moment I have taken up my sewing and am

putting together a stitch pillow for a dear stitch

stitch friend ...when I am done I will post it.

I am also sewing a Christmas wall hanging for my

daughter in Tennessee. I finished the "ABC Christmas"

in 2009.  I guess it is time to get er up on the wall !

 

My stitchy project right now is a Santa for my oldest daughter.

 

I started this a year or so ago...and since I do ornaments

 for the grandkids it kind of got put on the back burner.It

is now time to get him done!

Update on my Christmas ornaments

I just finished Kaidyn's Christmas ornament! She wanted a pink background for her penguin...so she got pink! I am almost done with Addisyn's ornament...but ran out of the floss that was in the kit! I tried to match it to DMC floss but that didn't work either. The Lt purple was just a little off from the kit floss, so I ordered it from the company...they said it would be 3 weeks  before I would get the floss! Darn! I hate dye lots! So as to not waste stitching time I started with Kaidyn's ornament and now I am working on Lily's ornament. I have 2 more to go when I am done with Lily's! Yahoo...Christmas is right around the corner!

Well off for now...got to get stitchin'....Have a great day!  Laurel
