Time to Get Back to Henry!

Hi there Friends! 

Yes, believe it or not, this is my third post TODAY! I am so happy to report that my stitching bug is BACK and in full force!!! So now that my bug has come out of hiding and back with a vengeance, I have a plan to get some things done that should have been done long ago. 

First and foremost, ya'll remember Henry, right? If you don't remember Henry the Snowman, well here is a picture of what he will look like all finished ... 

Poor Henry has been in the works for way too long (about a year and a half) and it's way past time to get him finished. So I am taking full advantage of how strong my stitching bug is right now to get this piece finally finished and back to it's owner. I know she will be so happy to finally get it back and see it. :~) She is an amazing person and friend and has been so patient during everything that has kept me from finishing Henry up until now. I just hope she loves it. 

So the last updated picture that I posted of Henry was this one ... 

There is a bit more that has been done since this photo. But I want to get a lil bit more done before I post a new update photo. 


So this will be the last post for today and I'll post again really soon with a new and updated photo of Henry the Snowman!!! :~) 


Until Next Time,

First Non-ATC Finish of 2011

Hi there Friends!!! 

Well, as you can see, stitching beat out sleeping lol!!! I just couldn't resist finishing this cute lil frog piece when I was so close to getting it all done. :~) So now all I have left is washing & ironing the piece, then put it back inside the hoop and trim off the excess aida and he's COMPLETELY FINISHED! :~) 

I can't wait to get this sent off to my niece and hear if she likes it. So here he is ... 

 

It was kind of weird stitching the 2011. I have been trying to come up with some cute way to do my signature on my finished pieces, but so far haven't found the right way to do it that I really like. 


Well, that's all for now bcuz now I really am off to get some sleep lol! Thank you so much for following! 


Until Next Time,

Update on First One to Smile

Hi Stitching Friends! 

How are you all doing? I am doing pretty well! :~) I got a little bit of stitching in on Thursday and Friday nights after running around getting everything together for my son's birthday party. I stitched the rest of the X's on the frog. Then Saturday was the party and by the time we got home, I was WIPED OUT! So Sunday and Monday I didn't get any stitching done, but tonight I sat down and did all the backstitching on the frog. Now all I have left is the lettering and he'll be all done! :~) I think he's turning out really cute and I just hope my niece likes it and it makes her smile every time she looks at it. :~) 

So here is what he looked like before I did any backstitching ... 

And here is what he looks like right now, with all the backstitching done on the frog. 




When I look at this frog, he looks to me like he's being mischievous or up to something and it makes me laugh. :~) 


So what do you think so far? It's nearly 3am and even though I really think I should be heading off to bed, I also want so much to get this lil guy finished. So I'm torn between my comfy bed and catching some good Zzzzz's and getting some good stitching and quiet time in. Do any of you ever have that problem? 


Well, I'm off to decide ... stitching or sleep ... 


Until Next Time,
