FRAMED

Gratuitous granddot shot

Seriously...... thee cutest thing ev er!

Another Finish

Part two of my cross-eyed stitch adventure....

Next Gen....

It's a finish

Well, my first, and possibly my last, cross-eyed stitch project is done.
I'm glad I did it, but I prefer surface embroidery and lines I can follow....counting, not so much. 

I can't wait to frame it and get a cross stitching champion to finish the 6 other uniforms that I want.....are you reading this Karen????? 

The stitching sure needs some work, but it looks better in person and not in macro camera mode. LOL

That is two finishes for me..... this month....I rarely seem to sew for me and it felt good...real good.

Now, onto Christmas sewing with my eyes on sewing more than a couple of things for me in 2016.  

Enjoy the last 'Ber of the year......December!

Happy almost Christmas!!

It's a start

Started the cross stitch. Hated the first 30 minutes and 5 rows.
The next 30 minutes and next 5 rows......not so bad.

Progress......

The first few rows......hooped and hated it.

Tonight...not hooped and not hating it.

Yep, I got this.

Quick-ish Table Runner

Was at Joanns for one thing, left with something entirely different. LOL 
Happens a lot...this time it was for me and I actually finished it!! 
wooo and hooooo

108" inches long, hemmed on both sides. Pressing took for-ev-er

Did a row of machine stitching to anchor everything, then started pulling.

It really is a more natural color with gray stripes....looks brown/burlapy in this pic...  It's rustic cotton toweling. If there was one with red stripes and a natural background, I would've got that too!!

Granddot shot...legos fun time

Someday I will start that cross stitch project. LOL
