Trip to stitchville for some inspiration

Hello! Long time, no bloggy
With the warm weather, we have been doing yard work and riding the Harley, no time to stitch.
I'm very inspired now with a trip to Minnetonka, Minnesota, last weekend
with my Wisconsin friend Anna, http://wis-northwoods-stitching.blogspot.com/




Tons of models, and as you can see many colorful fibers




And so it happens...there was a stitch in and we had a nice visit with Cathy, http://needleandthread.blogspot.com/ and Judy




Left to right, Cathy, me, Anna and Judy, it was great to see you gals
Next up is the stash enhancement...




Honeybee Hill by BBD w/ 30ct sheep's straw linen




Flatheads Embrace by The Primitive Needle w/ 40ct tin roof linen
I love the saying...
We are each
Of us angels
With one wing
And we can
Only fly
Embracing each other




Spooky Spirits of Tombstone Hill by Just Nan w/28ct thunderstorm linen




Live Laugh Love by Primitive Betty's, Besty's House by Plum Street Samplers,
36ct autumn gold linen for Buttons Black by Plum Street Samplers, 36ct vintage lentil linen for Thomas by Notforgotten Farms and some Kreinik for the Just Nan design
And lastly...




Spring Flowers Pinkeep by Stacy Nash kitted in the box
I've started stitching it to justify the price of it.
I didn't like the barn grey, it was too silverish, I wanted more blue so I traded it out with old blue paint thread




I haven't got any goodies in the mail lately, so I purchased these...

Happy Stitching!!!!

Happy Friday!!!

I had all good intentions of stitching Anne Pierce Drown sampler from Sampler & Antique Needlework Magazine, really I did
But... I didn't like the colors called for or my own, so I quite stitching on it and decided not to trash it but rather make Brianna a little pillow from the top and added I Love You


She picked out the fabric and away I sewed. She always loves to stuff my smalls.

I started Thine is the Trick and the Treat by Prairie Moon


Eek linen with Belle Soie, Old Crow, this is what I'm going to stitch on all weekend, no exceptions

I made this yummy overnight blueberry French toast. It was a hit with everyone for breakfast. You can find the recipe at allrecipes.com




Here's an update on Old Glory by Rosewood Designs



I'm thinking right now I need a new camera, everything looks so washed out and dull

Have a super duper weekend all

Happy dance!!!

Good evening!
I finally finished a very, very old UFO
A weight off my shoulders, lol




Judith Kirby Halloween houses #9 (1989) and #15 (1994)
Stitched on 14ct or 18ct pewter gray aida
With DMC threads
I'm not sure how to go about doing this, but they are up for sale or trade
I will take a gift card credit to like 123 stitch, trade for other patterns, linen
or such. I would even consider a finished awesome stitchy piece

These are hard to find charts, especially finding them together
I would even consider breaking them up
I know lots of stitchers would love to stitch this design, and you may have one or the other.
Email me (found in my profile) and let me know what ya got.
I will take first come first serve to what I want for these charts
Does that seen fair?
#9 has a little wear, otherwise they are in good condition
We are under a winter storm watch, lots of heavy snowfall tomorrow,
I see it as lots of stitchy time.
I think I deserve to start something new, don't you!!??
