Becky's Birthday Pinkeep

Becky , a dear friend of mine, had a birthday on Monday. Sadly....I missed getting her present there on the exact day...but it got there today and late is better than nothing, right?! ;)


Anyway, this is what I stitched up for her:

Design: Little House Needlework's *Attic Needlework* Exclusive

**with a twist**

I changed Attic to "Becky's"

Designer: Diane Williams

Finished as: A pinkeep (since that's her favorite finish (and mine too!))

Fibers: DMC in my own colorway

Fabric: 28 ct. coffee stained and baked

Turned out pretty good and I hope to make a "Vonna's Needlework" someday....my list keeps growing....

I've not updated for a week and I've been BUSY! Stitching and otherwise, but mostly otherwise. I've got big plans however....stained some baskets and boxes today.... for upcoming finishes...*HOPEFULLY*. Bought some fabric that will go perfectly with some designs I'm wanting to stitch and finish as a stitcher's set. Lots of ideas floating around in my head...as a matter of fact, I've been putting myself asleep at night dreaming of what I want to stitch...sad isn't it?! LOL!

My Mom's birthday is Monday, Feb. 25 and I've got something on my stitching stand just for her ;) YOUR GONNA LOVE IT MOM!

Got my Little House Hearts of America and My Needle Work Nashville released kits this week, plus a couple of others...bad, bad, girl I am...plus I visited Sassy's and she has "Sampler Packs" now.......oh yikes........ and in my favorite colors too......oh geez.....Khaki, Creamy Cocoa, Sugared Coffee, Tan Marble and Milk Chocolate....plus have you seen THIS? I just fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. SO...... I got a cut of 32 ct. Blue Lagoon from Sassy's to stitch my Winter Whites on....and since I was buying....might as well throw in a "Sampler Pack", right?! I believe that "Hearts of America" will be STUNNING on the Milk Chocolate linen. I'm really getting a stockpiled load of Sassy's since I've been going overboard buying them up...but you can't go wrong for 5 pieces of 18" x 27" for $99 That's stellar...plus her fabrics are just lucious!

Ok, well if your still reading I hope that you're all doing good...Indiana is getting pelted *again* with Ice/snow/ice/snow/rain/ice/snow...as we've been hit each week for the past month. Everything's cancelled for tonight ~ *NOT* complaining...we're going to study our spelling words for tomorrow, finish our homework, take some hot baths and snuggle in for a long winter's night!

Until next time.....stitch happy!
