More Finishes

Like I said, I have been busy on my stitching stuff the past few weeks.:) Here is Pumpkin Pete finished into a flatfold.

And I finally did something with Spring Kitty Paw! I used a wooden box and painted it purple for a little gift type box. I ended up having to put an extra coat of paint on the box so I wasn't exactly happy with how the color turned out but it's not really that bad.

Lastly, here is my progress on my SAL with Renee.

Gifts For Chiloe and Me

Remember how I have said I don't like spring because of the weather? About 4:00 AM a bad storm reared its ugly head and caused part of a tree to fall on the roof over our bedroom. Thankfully, no damage to the house!

However, my day was brightened by Dee. She made me this gorgeous dishcloth! I am totally fascinated with knitting. I can crochet but I have never learned how to knit. Thank you so much Dee!


The last of my blogoversary gifts found it's home. I made this little fob for Chiloe. The design is a freebie from Pam Kellogg called Harvest Pumpkin. I really like how the pumpkin turned out. I have plans to make one for me eventually. :)

Here is the back of the fob.

As for my pregnancy, everything is going great so far. I had a nutrition appointment this week and I was happy with my weight gain but they weren't. I have gained 4 ounces! With the other 3 kids by this time I had lost about 8 pounds because of morning sickness. I got the lecture that I need to gain more weight. Ideally they would like to see a pound a week from now on. Yeah right! For me gaining weight is not an easy thing to do. It's not because I don't eat...I LOVE to eat!

As of today I am 12 weeks along....believe me reaching this point has eased a LOT of my fears about something going wrong.

Have a great weekend!

Here's Paddy

I finished the 3rd kitty in the Pam Kellogg series last night called Paddy. I really like the colors in this pattern. Three down and nine more designs to finish:)



This week's SBQ is:

Did you receive any stitching-related gifts for the holidays?

The gift I received this year was Renee coming for a visit and us being able to stitch together in person. I am hoping tomorrow to be able to make one last stash run to the LNS before the end of the year and that will be Mike's present to me. He picks such great gifts. LOL!!

Have a great night!

Midnight and Precious

I have been working on the Millennium Cats by Pam Kellogg this week and I finally took some pictures of the 2 kitties I have done.

January-Midnight

February-Precious

With today being the first day of winter break for the kids I am not sure how much stitching I will get done today. Then tonight is Mike's Christmas party for his work. Last year's party wasn't exactly a hit. Main thing was the food SUCKED!! Oh and not too mention they ran out of the fixings for a strawberry daiquiri at 7 pm didn't impress me. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be different this year!

Before I go here is a picture of my mischievous kitties. Oh they look sweet here but don't let that fool you. They can unornamentify(is that even a word?) a tree in less than 10 minutes!!

Have a great day!
