A Day late Post

 Hello Everyone: I hope this post finds you stitching away, it is February, that is amazing to me, this winter is flying by for us.

Yesterday I was going to post what i have been up to, weel i almost forgot about Mikes hernia surgery, it went well he is now at Bible study every Saturday he meets with a men's  group at ten a.m. this is something he has done for years, he also reads the Bible daily, he is on his eight reading of the Bible, amazing.

Well I am stitching a design from The Cricket Collection, it is from the year 2004, I did all the carrots and hang them on a metal tree for Easter, I did the carrots many years ago, I found this pattern in the stash reallocation at retreat a couple years ago.

In this photo you can see a couple of the carrots, it is a fun design to stitch, I will be              putting out my Easter things soon and will show a full photo of the tree

This is a two sided bunny that goes on top of the tree, I just need to stitch the back        side of the bunny, he is so cute, he is stitched 2 over 2 on 32 count unknown                                             fabric which is a light color purple fabric 

I also stitched a trio of Christmas ornaments from Blue Ribbon Designs, Belinda has some adorable designs and had a group of Valentine designs I will be stitching                                            for next year (no time this year)

I used a 32 count unknown fabric, the color of fabric is a bit liter then what Belinda used (so sorry about the wrinkles) I will be constructing them this weekend maybe                                               Sunday afternoon after Mass

I watch a few YouTube videos, a couple videos ago I won fibric from Cobweb Corner https://cobwebcorner.com down at the bottom of Carlas page is the                                                    YouTube  link, please check her out

The pink fabric will be used for Easter designs this year, I also won the Superior Bees design from Summer House Stitch Works from another video, I will be doing this one on a different color fabric, all winners are chosen by random pick number chooser or however you say the term, I am not the                                             brightest bulb in the pack, giggles

We met my favorite male cousin from my Mom's side of the family for lunch, Tim is a single dad that raised three amazing children by himself, he is a wonderful man

 after lunch I went to Sweetwater Quilt shop in Paynesville, Mn. they carry a small          section of threads and patterns and fabric for stitching, I bought myself three                                                       patterns I hope to start soon

I love all three, I am going to stitch the last two into ornaments for my tree at                                                                      Christmas

I also started the Stitching Fairy designs it is Santas Workshop, I have a good start                                               on it will post a photo                                       soon https://happinessiscrossstitching.blogspot.com, she has many adorable                                                    designs, she also sells on Etsy

It is Saturday gloomy and a day for reading and stitching God Bless You All for                               your lovely comments on my last stitching post
