Needle Roll Finish

It was a pretty quiet day around here today so I managed to finish Pine Needle Roll into an actual needle roll. This one turned out a little skinny for my liking but that is what happens when I use the fabric that came with the kit. Oh well, it still looks good to me. :)

I hope everyone is having a good stitching evening!

Little Stitching, Lots of Games

I didn't get a lot of stitching done this past week because it was a blur of softball games, concessions stand food, and lots of shivering! Thursday and Friday's games were miserable for everyone. It was terribly chilly, windy, and rainy. Normally, I love that kind of weather but not when my butt is on a frozen, wet bleacher. Thankfully the end of the season is basically next week. There last home game is Tuesday and then it is off to Lincoln for districts at the end of the week. State games are the week after that but it all depends on how well the girls do at District games.

My HAED wasn't calling to me this week so I started and finished a small design from Sheperd's Bush. It is called Pine Needle Roll. I have started finishing it into a needle roll. All was going fine until it came to doing the hem stitching. This is one stitch I can't seem to do automatically which means I really have to pay attention to what I am doing or I end up messing up. Which I did no less than 4 times tonight! So, I have put it away, and hopefully tomorrow things will go a little smoother for me. :)

Have a great night!

Heart Roll

I decided since it was raining off and on today that I would go ahead and finish the needle roll. That wasn't exactly the smartest thing to do with 3 kids couped up in the house. Needless to say it ended up taking a little bit longer to finish that if I had waited till they were at school!

Kit

As a general rule, I don't stitch kits because I usually run out of floss or something like that. I was reminded with this kit as to my rule. I didn't run out of floss but I came real close with the light pink. Also, I like a little more extra fabric on my sides but this particular fabric was the exact size needed....no room for any kind of mistake! Oh well, I am not complaining as I bought this particular kit at a thrift store for $1.50. :)

It has been a pretty quiet weekend around here. Which is always nice for me!:) Friday I finished the back stitching on my snowman RR. He looks so much better with details.


After that I started a needle roll from Shepherd's Bush called Antique Heart Roll. All I have left to do is attach the beads and charm. Then I can finish it into a needle roll.:)

I was really looking forward to curling up with Harvest Witch and stitching the day away but that didn't happen. :(

I'm not sure if or what I will work on today. I had a pretty rough day yesterday with morning sickness and I am still feeling a little yucky today.

I hope everyone has a great day!
