Humbug Owl

My first finish of a humbug, it turned out ok

I'm using this as my march ornament challenge with Anna

Good day!!

Ding! Dong! The witch is dead

Happy Spring to everyone,

I finished Wicked Witch by La~D~Da



I then attempted to make it old and dingy looking, going for a very primitive look


I am going to add some old buttons versus the little motifs in the bare spots
I pretty sure the linen was Havanna, I stitched the black with silk and the orange and purple in DMC. It sure looks different then the chart model

I use the Instant Antique, I have lots of stitchers tell me when you use it, it leaves little dots, they didn't like it. Here's a HINT..... Wet the linen with water, then spray on the desired amount, I then ironed it, till I get the effect I want, ta~da!!!!!!


Me thinks... this will be made into a bell pull

Happy Stitching!!!!

Cool WhIP'S

Hello fellow stitchers,

I thought I would take some time today to snap, crackle and pop some current WIP'S
This is no where near half of them, just current, as within the last month



Red Deer Sampler by Gigi




Summer Quakers by Rosewood Manor, it's coming along better then I thought it would




Hare by La D Da




Quaker Gone Spooky by Michelle Ink




Book of Spells by Goode Huswife, a new start




Humbug Owl by Keslyn's, this ones taking longer then expected




Last Stitch Cemetery by Hinzeit, this is the next start, I need to get stitching it so I can make use of the frame

And here is a small pile, I picked off my work table, just to show what I want to start


I'm very proud of myself, to this day, I haven't bought any market pieces, but I can feel me cracking so next post might be a snap of new stash. I don't know if that's anything to be proud of??!! Lol

Happy Stitching!!!

Quaker Pin Round

Happy Friday Finish!!

My first ever finished mini drum


This is a kit I received from Dames of the Needle at the 2013 Celebrations @ St Charles, round robin

I finally built up the courage to stitch and finish a drum, now to tackle one of Stacy Nash drums

Have a super duper weekend!!
