Time for an Update

Sometimes I just don't feel like blogging. Most of the time I'd rather be stitching. The Mad Tatter was kind of irritated this weekend; she said her favorite bloggers weren't blogging lately. I think that was a subtle message for me to post an update. What do you think?

If you watch Flosstube then I'm sure you know that everyone has a dough bowl. I was recently gifted a dough bowl. I'm working on projects to fill my dough bowl. Here's one that just needs to be finished:





This delightful stitch was designed by Heartstring Samplery.

I thought it might look nice with this design from Blackbird Designs called Darling Buds of May. Sadly, it also needs to be finished!





Since I spent most of Saturday and Sunday working in the yard planting vegetables and flowers, I designated today as a finishing today. I did get a few things finished, but it always takes longer than you think it's going to take.

First project finished is this sweet little strawberry biscornu from Catherine Theron. I had finished the Hornbook scissor fob last year. I still have to finish the matching needlebook.



Then I worked on finishing the smalls for a class piece from Betsy Morgan called Gathering for Winter. The pincushion was finished in class. Today I finished the scissors sheath and fob. Here are photos of the front and back:







I finished off my day with a little more stitching. I recently purchased the pattern for the Blue Sampler Band from iStitch Designs. The designer releases a section of the chart each week. I was quite behind. I'm now caught up through Week 4. Two more weeks to catch up and then I'll be ready for Week 7 which will be released on Friday!



I hope to have more finishes to share with you later in the week! Thanks for stopping by.
