A Little Bit of Everything.
I want to thank everyone for the wonderful comments on my last post. I just love them. I have started to put together a giveaway for having 600 followers, which just amazes me. I do know that the giveaway will include a flower frog , scissors and a little something made by me. There will be more, just don't know what yet. On to the stitching...
Finished up this little gem and am having it framed in a pink frame. Something different and very Spring like.
Had this piece stretched and I put it in my in and out frame.Below is a close up of the frame.
Stella is going to daycare 2 days a week for puppy socialization. They say she gets along wonderfully with people but is very shy around the other dogs so I decided to send her another day. She did much better on the second day. She will go 2 days a week for awhile. While she was gone I managed to get in alot of stitching time and some yard work. I finished the Prim Sisters piece. Cheryl will finish it when she comes home from Canada.
I also did this little piece that I can't wait to have finished. I really love this scissor pillow. I got the finishing lit so that the pillow will look just like the picture. So cute. >
Easter week end was quiet. I went out to brunch with friends and had some quality stitching time while watching last years Nurse Jackie series.
This is Blooms for Sarah from BBD. I love the design and it worked up quickly because you use just one floss. I did mine on 36 ct mystery LSL using the suggested SNC called Chocolate Caramel. So yummy. lol. You can click on any of the photos for a larger view. I did take a cooking class last Thursday night. They gave us a lovely dinner before class and then we made cupcakes! There were 10 women in the class and we worked in pairs. Joanne went with me.
We made chocolate cake filled with a peanut butter filling topped with chocolate gnache and crushed peanuts. They were awesome. The others made red velvet, carrot cake, lemonchello filled with homemade lemon curd and a chocolate vegan banana cake. We all took home everyone's cakes. It was a great time. I will end with a picture of my baby. Isn't she cute? The bone she has in her mouth is one she can eat but she needs to carry it around awhile first. Thanks for visiting. My next post will have the giveaway. Until then....Happy Stitching! Deborah

Sweet puppy! I've been thinking about getting another dog, it's been almost 2 years since Brutus went to Rainbow Bridge. I love your Prim Sisters! Have I stitched mine yet? Heck no! Just waiting to see the next project!
I love these Spring-y finishes. Is that first one a BBD - do you remember the title? Stella is so adorable - she has such a sparkle in her eyes - bet she gets into some interesting situations. Take care!
Stella is so darn cute! Lots of great finished stitching projects too!

You've been busy! Love the top picture in this post is the designer the same one that did the bunny in your header? They look like they go together and I love them both! So Springy. Hope you have a wonderful week with lots of stitching.

Beautiful stitchings, Baby is adorable, & what luscious looking cakes! I have heard the word "lemonchello" every now & again & have no idea what it is but I love lemon so I'll have to do a bit of research : )
I adore your Spring Fling purchase, Deborah--the colors are so soft and pretty! And your Prim Sisters and little Dutch pillow are so sweet.
I hope Stella "comes out of her shell" more with her two days in puppycare... And it will be a nice break for you, too, to have more time to stitch :)
Enjoy your week, Deborah!
What a wonderful set of finishes, Deborah! I really like the Spring Fling and L*K Alphabet. The alphabet looks like it would have been a fun stitch. Your blue pillow will be so pretty! Are you going to make the other pieces in the set??
Happy stitching!
Tricia

Such gorgeous stitching Deborah!! I love that first piece and I think it will be perfect in a pink frame! Sweet prim design too! I love the Dutch smalls! I think they will be perfect finished!! Those cupcakes look so scrumptious! MMM! Your picture of your puppy is so darling! I'm glad to hear she is getting along with the other doggies!!
OOOOOO - glad to see you are stitching that dutch sewing pillow - I loved it - it was one of the market things I really wanted - but it is currently still on the wish list. loved all your stitching and the baby is soooo cute with her bone. Melody
