A Fun Furry Friday!

Hey, Sandy has finished her Lamb Wall hanging…well almost finished!  She still needs to stitch the red binding on but in my books that’s as close to being finished as you can get!  Besides I NEED some blog fodder…

This sweet wall hanging is a gift to her newest grand-daughter, wee Cameron, born at the end of February.   Sandy thought she could use a woolie to hang in her room to reminder her of her dear sweet ol’grandma…and you have to admit that this is PERFECT!!

I love the way Sandy used the white piece of fur (usually used to make stuffed animals)…she tea dyed a small piece brown and another piece black and away she went!

Yup…they turned out dang cute!

Ahhhhdorable!

Right down to the hearts on their rumps!

I think Sandy is going to be Cameron’s FAVOURITE Grandma!!  I just know it… and that ain’t SEW baaa-aaad!!

Thanks for checking up on me…good thing my friends are finishing off projects and are able to provide me with some great blog fodder…!!  :0)

Have a FUN FURRY Friday and happy stitching!

Thrifting Thursday…

“SCORE!!”

Bet you could hear my “SCORE” clear down to the Mexican border!!  I  couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted these three wall plaques sitting in a Thrift shop WAITING for me to rescue them!  And rescue them I did!!  I know…they’re sitting on my floor right now but that won’t last forever.

They are EXACTLY what I was looking for to go in my newly painted bathroom…OK…I’m still painting the cabinets but they will soon be finished!  And then these three babies are going up!

Don’t you just love that old, distressed look? 

Yup…they are perfect!!  They were meant to be…

So come on, get out of that computer chair and head on down to your local Thrift Shop…you just never know what you are going to find!  And if you don’t find it today then maybe you’ll find it tomorrow…Thrift Shops are like that! 

Happy stitching!~P

Work In Progress Wednesday…

Oh yes, I have been in the sewing room and it feels mighty good!!   I listened to a great audio book, ‘First Love’  by James Patterson…sniff, sniff…(very sad in that ‘Love Story’ kind of way…)

So here is my progress report…

All blocks cut out, sewn together and the rows are made!  The quilt is going to be big…stay tuned!!

In the evening, I have been working on my ‘Midnight Harvest’ by Primitive Gatherings…

Everything is now stitched down either with blanket stitch or tack stitch using Valdani threads.  (I use whatever size that is in my tote as long as it’s the right colour!)  Now I have to add the special effects…ie…line bumps on pumpkins, vines and veins on the leaves…stay tuned!

Both projects are WIP…and show that Rome clearly wasn’t built in a day! 

Today I need to get back to my painting…ugh!  (Have I told you how much I HATE painting?) The bathroom is finished except for the cabinets…which I am hoping, by the end of today, will be a whole different colour.  WHAT COLOUR is the question…I have been wavering on this since I started this project!!  Geeze it’s like deciding on those borders and binding fabrics!  Decisions…decisions…

I am off to the paint shop…wish me luck!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday and happy stitching!~P
