Started the beading

I am not sure if I like the addition of beads. The beads are not too pretty. May end up putting something shinny and pretty on it instead...
what do you think? huggerz laurel

Finished the M

I finished the "M" block on the ABC Christmas Sampler today. I have washed/soaked the piece and it is now drying. I will press it tomorrow and then add the beads. I don't know how long that will take, but hope to have it done soon! I need to get to the stitch shop for fabric so I can start Little Ballerina for Baylee. I also need to pull the thread for "I DO" for Jamie and Curt. Well have a warm stitching night.
Ohio is again cold and snowy. huggerz laurel

Dear Chrissy.......Daisy hates me

This is Daisy:

No I don't need a cat! No, Never, Not Now, well maybe if Bethannie will clean out the litter box! Daisy hates me! The other day I locked her in the bathroom! I don't understand it. Well let me explain...I was putting my clothes in the washer and something fell. Something is always falling around here...sometime stuff and sometimes me! Well later I went back to put the clothes in the dryer and I kept hearing Daisy meow...I called her name and she just kept crying....I started the dryer and happened to look down and saw the little door on her litter box move! Holy COW...a little plastic box had fallen and blocked her little flapper door and she couldn't get out. Shoot fire.....I only locked her in the bathroom for a little while, maybe an hour, maybe less than an hour, can't remember for sure. Anyway ...she has been mad at me for a week and won't come near me. LOL Maybe she should have take a magazine in so she would have something to do! Anyway I thought the little cat sign was cute and reminded me of Toni...cause...she just brought home kitty number 3. So no cat for me, Bethannie would kill me! She would have to stand in line cause I think daisy is waiting to catch me off guard to hurt me!

Progress on the ABC Christmas Sampler....I am now back stitching on the last square "M". When that is done I will be able to add the beads.

ABC Christmas Sampler

I finished "T" and "N" ...next up S, M, U, and Y. I just want to get this done! Do you ever wonder who will finish your WIP's when you die? I figure I had better get to doing this sampler cause I don't have a clue as to who would want to finish mine! LOL Have a great day stitching. huggerz laurel
HEY TONI...HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER TONIGHT! How is the new kitty doing?

Stitching update!

Hummm lets see....I am still back stitching on the ABC Christmas Sampler. I have the letter's M,N,S,T,U,Y and I am going to start working on the letter N at the moment. The rest are done. After I get the back stitching done I will put the beads on it and it will be ready to frame. I am also charting out the name that goes on the Memorial piece.

This weekend I am going to go to a shop in Columbus with Toni. I sat down last night and wrote down all the charts that I want to do and the fabric I will need and special floss. Just about all the charts are Little House Needle works.

Some bad news: River Bend Stitchery is closing it's doors. That is sad. I was so excited to have a stitchery store close by...and now it will be gone.

well off for now...have to get busy on the back stitching. I just want to get this piece done so I can get started on a large Christmas piece #4 called Peppermint twist! Have a great night stitching. huggerz laurel
