The design is complete! The baby was born on August 17th. A healthy baby boy! :whoop: Now to stitch the details. https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p526x296/14088687_1482868215072718_3484776698735535149_n.jpg?oh=3024ea8963294fa3d3fb903b33b24eeb&oe=5848D423 My mother made the afgan. ...

The baby is due on the 18th! :tizzy: I have only one more row of shells to stitch. I scrubbed the house down before lunch today and I have been stitching all day.

I am trying to stitch as often as I am able. The first nephew is due August 18th. When August began on Monday I felt a little panicked. I still think I can complete the record and have it waiting for the name and details. https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13882444_1453227304703476_7675...

I would like to get the word out about the Cross Stitch section in my Etsy shop. I have only recently started designing my own cross stitch patterns so my Cross Stitch section includes patterns, supplies and magazines created by others. Since they aren't my own work I will simply share a link: https...

My focus wandered from cross stitching. The house has been scrubbed. The laundry and dishes are in order. :dance: The trouble is a clean dish is temporary and fleeting. A stitch on canvas lasts longer. Sometimes I think I like stitching because I can be proud of my work and it won't come undone by d...

Congratulations! I have worked this design and it challenged me. All those half stitches! Your sitches are beautiful and the frame is perfect.

I live in Oregon now but I grew up a California girl. During our first year in Oregon I made my first two, from scratch, completely my own designs. I made kits for this designs.

In case anyone was interested in my Santa Claus, King of Hearts design the pattern is available in my Etsy store.

I took a detour and made three small patches for some friends. We exchange letters with small crafts to encourage each other.

It looks fantastic. And yay for your son being able to do the museum. I have a friend whose son has autism and I know these things that are so simple to us are quite a challenge for those with autism. Thank you for the "yay" :D I was very pleased he enjoyed the museum. We went back yester...

I am not sure how to post best for updates. I have been making new posts each time but I am looking at other folks' posts and it looks like you can go all the way back to the first post and see each update. I like that ability. So this time I am posting a reply on my existing post. I hope that is ri...

You did an amazing job! So amazing I want to try this design myself. I usually am attracted to color but this design has such great texture!

Beautiful work in blue!

The strawberries are wonderful. So bright and cheerful. I love it when cross stitched designs can look "juicy"

Progress through the week...
