Post IHSW Wrap Up (Several Weeks Late)
Procrastinating to blog has certainly been my theme lately. I can at least say I'm often just stitching, cause I want to stitch and I don't want to stop to blog. I want to keep ontop of blogging but for some reason I just keep slacking off! I have a few things to catch you up on but I will do that over the next few posts. I've missed the Smalls SAL, TUSAL, and April Goals. So stay tuned...
Now lets recap what I accomplished during March's IHSW which was March 21-23.
First of all I finished Heart In Hand's Snow Woes, this cutie is stitched on 40ct linen.
Next up I started Heart In Hand's Tall Snowman a second time. I wasn't happy with his overall size the first time I stitched him, so a second stitch was necessary, this time on 40ct. He looks much better on 40!
Earlier in March I got the most wonderful news, my best friend Claire had a little boy! She's had the hardest time over the years trying to start a family, and I can't think of anyone else who DESERVES to be a Mother. I knew exactly what I wanted to stitch for wee Zachary, since I stitched his Mom and Dad Teresa Wentzler's Wedding Sampler they of course deserve TW's Birth Announcement!!! Here's my progress at the end of March's IHSW. I am now focusing solely on this project. I've got to get it stitched and framed by the end of July when I'm going to fly down to the Charleston area to meet wee Zachary!!!!
Now lets recap what I accomplished during March's IHSW which was March 21-23.
Adorable finishes! A great start on the baby sampler.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your WIP photos of the birth announcement. Coming along nicely!
ReplyDeleteThose snowmen are too cute!!! I love that one is sorta round and one is tall and thin! Fun!
ReplyDeleteSnow Woes is perfect for this wickef winter we just had! You are so sweet to stitch a TW piece for the baby. Beautiful, but a ton of work!
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes and what a wonderful gift for the baby. I know his Mom will treasure it.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching. Of course I've never seen ugly stitching from you.
Snow Woes is adorable.
ReplyDeleteWOW! A TW! You must be VERY good friends. Can't wait to see progress pics on this one.
I've only done one TW and it took me a long time. But, everyday I look at it in amazement. Her stuff is gorgeous!
Beautiful finishes! Good luck on the birth sampler. I need to start one for my 3 week old son soon.

ReplyDeleteNice to see your progress on TW's birth sampler. I've noticed not many stitch TWs anymore. Well except maybe those loyal few who are over on face book now.
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes!
ReplyDeletePS...you were the winner of my last giveaway(biscornu), you probably haven't visited my blog lately...if you still like it please e-mail me your address so i can send it your way.

ReplyDeleteLove the two cute little snowman finishes! The birth announcement is going to be quite an undertaking, but it's going to be spectacular when it's finished!

ReplyDeleteCongrats to your BFF on the new arrival!
Such sweet ornaments all finished up! And a darling choice for your friend! Many happy congratulations to them!!
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes, and nice start on BA - I stitched it for my niece and it took me 5 years, but then I wasn't really concentrating on it much :-) I'm sure you can make it by July
ReplyDeleteLove the snowmen. A beautiful start to the birth sampler.
ReplyDeleteThe finishes are too cute. Congratulations to your friends and love the name. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I have been thinking of wedding samplers as we all think my niece will be engaged fairly soon - thanks for the mention of TW's - I think it will be perfect.
ReplyDeleteCongratz on your finishes!!
ReplyDeleteBeautifull
Your on a roll!!
Gorgeous finishes and new start.
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations to Claire and her hubby on the birth of her little baby. That is so good to read Dani. My heart is so full of love and i'm so happy for them, me being a lady who thought she would never be a mum herself.
ReplyDeleteGreat start on your special stitched project.
Great to see your March finishes, Dani--they are both so cute! And I'm in awe of you stitching the TW birth sampler--it will be gorgeous, I'm sure. I'm so happy for your friend--sounds like she was truly made to be a mom :)
