Some progress, no pictures.

I’ve finished all the stitching for my Santa exchange piece.  Now as soon as I decide on a backing fabric I can sew it up and send it on its way.

Then it’s back to my ongoing pieces by way of whatever else comes along to distract me. J

Happy Thanksgiving and have a great week.

Happy stitching World.

Wait, what holiday is it?

In this week’s holiday competition between Halloween and Christmas, Santa is coming out on top.  I can’t show you that one yet but I can show you that the Haunted house has a resident.  He’s peeking out of the round window on top.  This week I’ll start filling in the smaller sections.  Right now I’m off to add more backstitch to Santa.

This and that

Three words that could explain why I haven’t finished anything lately.  I work on a little of this, then a little of that.  Still it does keep it interesting.

I did a little of this on the Haunted House.

And a little of that on my Santa exchange.

(Watch this blog for future picturesJ)

In the meantime I’m off to work on something completely different!

Happy stitching World.

So close...

And yet so far.  In the perfect parallel universe this haunted house is done and hanging on the wall.  Since I’m stuck in this universe it’s just going to haunt me until I get it done.  Too bad I’ve been distracted by all my pretty Christmas patterns. J

Speaking of Christmas, I’m off to work on my Santa for my first exchange.

Answering the call

After making some progress on the Retro Cat and Haunted House last weekend I got back to the other member of the trio, Be Hippie.  While still plotting (or trying to decide?) on various color changes I did more stitching on the sun and put on one sleeve.  I would have put on the last word too, but its two different colors and I was too lazy to get up and hunt for the other one.  Maybe next time. J

Kate at Momuboocrea Island is hosting her first exchange and I’m excited to take part.  The theme is Santa Claus and if you’re interested in taking part check out Kate’s blog here

In the meantime, have a great week.

Happy stitching World.

IHSW wrap up

I worked on the Retro Cat and have some progress to show.  Ta Da!!  The wall is finished on the left side down to the chair at least.  Then I decided to start on the blue for the window and put off the chair for awhile longer.  Next time I pick it up it will be more blue or maybe the black line across the top.  We’ll see.

That’s all for now.  I look forward to checking everyone’s progress.  Hope you all had a good weekend as well as the week ahead.

Happy stitching World.

IHSW - time for some progess.

It’s off to a good start.  I finished the porch roof on the Haunted House, so now it’s on to the second floor.  Such excitement.

For the weekend though it’s back to the Retro Cat.  It seems to be easier to ignore – maybe I shouldn’t keep it in that box? J  This is the weekend for progress!!

I’ll be back Sunday night with an update.  Have a great weekend.

Happy stitching World.
