Weekly Stitching and Haul

I was able to stitch more than usual this past week and I got quite a few stitches in on several projects.

I am getting closer to a page finish on Henry but confetti is starting so it is a little slower now.

Henry VIII-Heaven and Earth Designs

Needles and Pins-Theron Traditions

I started this one a good while ago and haven't worked on it in quite some time. I have to rip out the blue line, as it is supposed to be red and will do that this week. I finished Mississipi and Illinois and the portion of the red line above those.

One Nation-Bygone Stitches

I started a couple of new things.

I love the Wizard of Oz and this pattern was in a magazine, the Cross Stitcher issue 281.

I also started Fire and Ice. I have had this pattern for several years and it will be a gift for my husband. I have the companion piece called Golden Ice but haven't started it yet.

I am trying hard not to purchase anything right now. I will be having a total knee replacement on October 31 and will be off work for about 12 weeks so I need to not make any purchases.

However, I have wanted one of these lap/table stands since I saw it and since my birthday is coming up, I got one. They are made by Michael Hope and his wife Bonnie is on several facebook groups that I am a member of and that is where I saw it. I can't sing its praises enough as it is fantastic and the best gadget I have purchased in quite some time.

I hope you all have a great stitch week!

Happy Fall Y'all!!! Our weather is supposed to have fall temps this week and I can't wait. I am so looking forward to that cool, crispness in the air and going to the Pumpkin Farm. I will finally be able to sit on my front porch and stitch and enjoy the weather and colors of fall.

Kings and Queens of England-Bothy Threads
I need to do the backstitching on three of them but will go back and get that soon. Saturday night, my husband spilled his drink on this project. I just have to say, he is a very lucky man that it did not stain my project.

Old World Santa Book 2-Prairie Schooler
I am stitching this as a gift. There is a group that was set up to stitch as many of these as possible for a fellow blogger/flosstuber and they are to be mailed out the first of October. I don't want to give her name out as she may possibly read this, I will post that once it has been mailed and received.

Dog Rules for People-Lizzie Kate
I have been participating in a Lizzie Kate Round Robin for the past few months and this week I received my project back. I still have to stitch the top and bottom line for it to be finished but I am thrilled with it. This week will be busy and not sure I will get it finished as I need to get out the Prairie Schooler Santa and a Band Sampler I am working on for another round robin but I hope to be able to get this done by the end of October.

I only bought thread this week for a few projects as far as haul goes. However, I did get a fabulous basket to keep my wips in. I purchased it at the At Home store in the laundry storage area. I saw it a few weeks ago and kept thinking about it so I went back for it. It has wheels on it and is deep so it will hold quite a few wips. I filled it with 10 of those slim plastic cases and about 10 of the mesh project bags and they all fit. I failed to take a picture of it filled, but will do that for the next update. Here is a pic of what it looks like.

I hope you all have a great week filled with stitching!

It is Monday and I am not moving very fast yet. I have my coffee and hoping it will perk me up soon.

I love this project. The colors are beautiful on this fabric and just so much fun to stitch.

Kings and Queens of England-Bothy Threads
This is such a quick and easy stitch and they are so cute!!!

I hope you all have had a great week with lots of stitchy goodness. What have you been working on?

Good Morning! I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.

I haven't stitched as much as I would have liked over the past two weeks but I do have some progress.

Let Freedom Ring-Lila's Studio

I had a new start on September 1. I joined a group on facebook for a SAL and it started on that day. I am loving this so far.

Needles and Pins-Theron Traditions

It will look like this when finished.

The next three items are the haul that I received this week.

I love houses and couldn't pass this one up.
