Dragonfly Update

Don't you just love a long weekend?  I was able to stitch some and look at the progress.

It looks like a dragonfly now.  I still love the colors in the wings.

I had already chosen my next project; however, I was recently inspired by a fellow stitcher and I have moved my selection down on the list of to-dos.  I'm already pulling everything together to start the project inspired by one of you!  More about that later.

Not Much Progress

I'm sorry to report that there really hasn't been much progress on my dragonfly.  This week at work has been crazy busy.  I'm hoping that with the upcoming holiday weekend, I'll have some extra time to cross stitch.  Fingers crossed! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Dragonfly Update 2

Still loving the colors in this one.  Very springy and cheerful.  Here's an updated photo.  Sorry it's not the best, I'll try to get a better shot next time.

I'm still missing a couple of colors.  I went to Walmart last weekend, but they did not have the colors I needed.  I'm hoping I'll get to Hobby Lobby this weekend.  I know most of you would already be finished with this one, but it's not bad just for lunch break stitching.

This weekend is Mother's Day, so I want to wish all of the Moms a Happy Mother's Day!   Hope you have a great weekend.

Dragonfly start

This week found me starting a new project.  I decided to do this cute dragonfly freebie for a co-worker.  She loves dragonflies and her favorite color is purple.  I think this is perfect for her and I can't wait to give it to her.  I'll probably just frame it for her.

Here's a picture of my beginning.  I'm sorry that it's not a very good picture. 

You can click on the link above to see a picture of the finished project and grab the pattern.  It really is beautiful on-line and I hope mine turns out as good as the one shown!  At first I was a little worried about the colors, but they are looking great together.  I still have a couple of colors to purchase.  Hopefully this weekend I'll have a chance to get them.

Have a great stitchy weekend and I'll see you next week!

Quaker Hedgehog

This is a quick little cutie!  It's a freebie from The Workbasket.  It's a great pattern if you are like me without a lot of stitching time.  And he really is cute.

As you can see, I just stitched it up on a scrap piece of fabric.  I'll probably just pop this in a frame for a friend.  Sorry the picture isn't the best. 

Jolly Ornament

I don't have a lot of time to stitch.  Mostly during my lunch break and if I happen to be waiting somewhere.  Always a plus to have something to do!  I usually just keep a small project in my bag.

Here is the latest ornament that I finished.  This is from the Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments magazine.  I'm not certain which year, but I believe it was from last year.  I don't have it with me at the moment.

I need to schedule a day to actually finish some projects into ornaments.  Maybe one day this summer.

Have a great weekend!

Hi! I'm Max

Hi I'm Max.  My Mom cross stitches.  Due to some life circumstances, my Mom could use some friends.  I've finally convinced her to start a blog and share her cross-stitching.  She already lurks on your blogs, so she should just jump in, right?  I hope you will all welcome her and cheer her on.
