I Have Another Post

 Greetings My Dear Followers: Thank-you for your comments on my last blog post a few days ago,

            I hope you were all able to get thank-you from me, if not I will check back to make sure.

I did do a lot of stitching sewing and mending when I was not able to post on Blogger, so I am doing a                                                 little at a time to keep from having such a long post.

This design was sent to me from Marilyn in Wisconsin (no Blog) she is so kind to send this to me as a                      kit, I am a nut for needle rolls, this is one I had not seen before, Thank-you Marilyn

                                                This is a Shepherds Bush Folk Heart from 1999

                   stitched on 28 count Lavander Mist Cashel Linen two strands DMC over two threads, 

                                          For some reason the kit photo will not upload so sorry

 I stitched this for Christmas, my sister-in-law loves a pink Christmas

Please forgive me I do not remember the designer

These two designs I stitched earlier this summer, they are both from Marly's site, she has an amazing page of freebies, please visit her site https://samplersandsantas.blogspot.com

She has some amazing pear designs for free

stitched on 32 count unknown fabric, most of the fabric I have does not have a name or count I need to count the threads, most of the fabric I have, have come from stash reallocation tables at retreats

I did buy another item from Blue Ribbon Designs, I am a nut for Pin Pillows, this one caught my eye for                                                     the yellow red and the tiny, adorable Owl

Belinda has so many lovely finished items to choose from, she also has cross stitch, quilting and other items you may enjoy buying https://blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com please visit her site she has links to                                                                               her Etsy Shop

This was a design I won from a Youtuber, Heartstring Samplery My Wish For You

Stitched on 32 Count Kunzite Linen

Just for giggles

I will post again soon, I have so much top show but do not want to make it a very long post for fear of losing followers

Have an amazing Blessed week

Catherine💙

I am so happy to be able to do a post after all the problems I have been having with Google, hopefully                                                                          that is in the past

Below is a design I stitched a couple months ago, I took it to Michaels to have framed, I really like the way it turned out, it is a design from A New Creation a site on Etsy, I have bought another design from                                            this designer, I plan on starting the stitching in October
 

I love this design, I stitched it on an unknown linen count is 32, I will frame this one myself as soon as I find the right frame so sorry about the wrinkles, I just wanted to get it posted

This design is from Pamela Kellogg Kitty and Me designs, it is from the Colorful Cats series, this is my second design of hers I have stitched, the fabric is again another I cannot remember the name of however it is stitched on 32 count a very open weave linen which I do not like but I wanted to stitch it on a blue fabric

I have bought a couple of things from Blue Ribbon Designs, Belinda has some amazing items for sale

The front and back of this adorable bag, it is perfect for my cheater glasses, pencil, scissors and other itemshttps://blueribbondesigns.com

Please check her site out she has quilting and cross stitching on her site

I stitched this a very long time ago, it is a design from the Stitching Fairy, I love this to bits, again it is stitched on an unknown fabric, I have a load of fabric from stash reallocation at Minnesota Needlework Guild retreats, https://happinessiscrossstitching.blogspot.com

Please check her out

I do have a load to show you but do not want to over bear this post in case something goes wrong while posting, it has been cool in the evenings here which is unusual for August in Minnesota, tomorrow it will be in the upper 80s on monday in the 90s, this is okay with me I will still be outdoors, we have been working in the yard a load this year, we have had a load of rain which Mike has had to mow twice a week two weeks this summer he mowed three times in 8 days, I have been deadheading flowers to keep them fresh looking.

We did have to buy a new PC and the same week our iPhone pooped out, it was a very expensive week, I told Mike this covers my birthday, Christmas and our anniversary for gifts for me

Mike is still have problems but seems to be able to handle the pain from neuropathy, he is an amazing man, he says that he is where God wants him to be

I will try and post again this coming week, i want to tell you about two retreats that I was at

Have an amazing week.

What A Month It Has Been

 First of all thank-you to my faithful followers for staying the course with me in my absence, we have had a spendy month of July, first the computer started acting like an arse, then both our cell phones decided to make us angry, Mikes battery was about to blow up, my phone stopped some features like browsing the net, at AT&T the young man helping us took the battery out of Mikes phone and ran it outdoors saying it was ready to burst that is why Mikes phone died.

I tried posting on my IPAD but the photos kept coming up wonky, so I gave that up, then we had to get a new tower for the PC, well Best Buy was not a good experience, they talked us into a package of protection and also saying that it would get our stuff transferred over faster and instead of waiting a couple of days it was almost two weeks without a PC, now I am not an angry person ever but this really got to me, now as to the photo of the cat eating Mickey, well I had to put a photo on my blog so the woman could understand what I was talking about when I could not load photos, she asked what Best Buy could do for us, I told her that there were several issues with the PC, so that is the dilemma we had for over a two week period.

I am leaving for a stitch retreat in a few hours, I will be posting about that trip[ on Monday.

Thank-you all for hanging in there with me, I love all your comments and really appreciate them.
