Happy Hump Day!
I'm glad we're on the backside of this week....as next week my kiddies have a much needed fall break! Whoo Hoo!
Over this past week...
I started a new project. Please let me show you all my start:
"Snow Friends"
and
beginning border for "6 Fat Men"
Designer: Lizzie*Kate
Copyright 2011
Stitched on 28 ct. mocha linen
Stitched with Weeks Dye Works and Crescent Colours as charted
Pretty...
doggone cute, isn't it? I fell in love with this whimsical, sweet design as soon as I laid eyes upon it. Its cute and will be a happy seasonal stitch to add to our winter decor. I'm looking forward to the next square. But because I have SADD...stitcher's attention deficit disorder....and I let my fingers do some clicking in webshots, photobucket and flickr over the weekend looking at people's stitches....I'm starting a NEW project this evening! WHOO HOO! :) you'll just have to wait to see what it is.
I'm finding...
that working on something until I get to a logical end and switching it with another project is working for me right now. I tend to be a "one at a time" stitcher, but I was losing my mojo recently and the tantalizing thought of stopping and starting something else to go back and pick up where I left off is working for me right now. We'll see....
So until next time...
I'll be keeping my fingers busy stitching with my hands at work and heart to God!
hugs and love,
I have the first 3 in my to-do pile. I fell in love with them too. Yours is looking amazing and making me want to start mine. I love the colors and of course the snowmen :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful stitching, Vonna
((Hugs))
I love your snowmen so cute .
ReplyDeleteVonna you have won a give away on my site i will need your address.
I love that design! It is too cute. Great start, Vonna--it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteDoggone cute is right!
ReplyDeleteI have the three charts, but was just gonna stitch them seperate, now you got me thinking.
I'm like a ten thing stitcher, lol
take care!!
Love your snowman piece! Looking forward to seeing more of it as well as your next new start!

gorgeous!!!!!!! I am still in the 'what fabric to use' phase, but yours looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Might have to use something like that....
ReplyDeleteVonna, I think he is sooo cute. Love him... beautiful stitching, too.
ReplyDeleteToo cute!! Love this series...The colors are just perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love your new LK project. I have never seen this design before, but it looks like I will have to add this one to my wish list. I hope you all enjoy your fall break. We just finished ours and are now trying to get back in the grove again. Take care.

I have the first 3 and will get the other 3 soon. I got fabby for it, but not the floss. I think I will do them for my new place next year. I'm moving next summer and will need stuff to put on the walls....
ReplyDeleteVonna, your start is simply adorable!!!!! This series is *so* on my wish list, but it will have to wait for awhile since I'm on a spending freeze of sorts while dd is in college. I've considered just stitching the cute border that's on the website, picking up a skein of floss or two at a time, and then I can buy a chart at a time and fill it in later. : ) It's not like I don't have enough projects to keep me busy!!! Can't wait to see your new start!!
ReplyDeleteGreat new start! L*K designs are so fun and just make me itch to stitch them!
ReplyDeleteLove the new start! It's so cute! Enjoy that time off from school. It's nice to have a tiny break once in a while, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! Now I can't wait to see your other new start. What ever could it be?!
ReplyDeleteI love this one Vonna course I'm always up for a snowman pattern - I've resisted buying this set but I may cave in. I wanted to belatedly tell you how lovely your new stitching accessories were - the ones you made with the wooden hoops and the scissor holder - just way too cute! I saw that on the same blog and tucked the idea away for 'someday' so great to see what you did with it. I also love the new Jingle piece you finished for Tanya - oh so much temptation! Thanks for keeping me inspired Vonna, it's hard to keep up to date with everyone's postings so better late than never!
ReplyDeleteYour snowman is so very cute! So bright and cheery, perfect for the dark days of winter! Can't wait to see the new start! Been feeling one coming on myself! lol
ReplyDeleteGreat start on the snowmen. I love the colors. I have this in my stitching basket........so many projects, not enough stitching time......
ReplyDeleteKeep showing us your beautiful stitching !!
So cute! It puts me in the mood for winter.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!! Welcome to the world of Stitcher's ADD and having many WIPs going at a time! heehee
ReplyDeleteI just love these little snowmen too! happy stitching....
ReplyDeleteI love this design too, it's so cute! Yours makes me want to get hold of the pattern right now!
ReplyDeleteThose snowmen just make me smile as do those little redbirds. :o) Your stitching is just lovely. Now there you go teasing us again about your new start!
ReplyDeleteI love these patterns and have given thought to buying them. You are going to be a bad influence with these cuties!
ReplyDeleteI obviously haven't been doing a lot of surfing lately because I haven't seen this before and I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteThe colours are so bright; it makes me want to get mine out and get started on it; but I have to order the material first.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Shar
It's wonderful Vonna! I love the design and the colors! Enjoy your new start - can't wait to see what it is!
ReplyDeleteLOve the color of the text; it is just really gorgeous on that linnen! I really want to cheer for you for finding out and doing what works for you right now (funny how that changes, isn't it.)
ReplyDeleteI thought of you while frogging out Santa's Coat and I am pleased to say I put the final replacement stitch into it last night and finished it today! I need to get some pics and blog him when the sunshine comes again! :D
Thanks as always for your sweet encouragement; you are such an exhorter!
The fat guys are cute. Scouting around looking at stitching blogs is the best/worst enabler for sure! Keep up your great work!
ReplyDeleteBobbi
Love the new start, it is precious!!
ReplyDeleteUh oh - something else I want to start! What a cute design, and it's looking fantastic coming from your happy needle.
ReplyDeleteToo cute!!!
ReplyDeleteYour first of the 6 Fat Men is darling. I kitted this one up and have it in q-snaps to be worked on my vacation - two great minds - LOL!
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute!
ReplyDeleteSnowmen - of the stitched kind - melt my heart, too. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteJust perfect! It's my next project... I've got the first three snow men and hope to begin soon!

What a darling snowman, Vonna!! Laughing at your SADD comment :) I have always been a one-project-at-a-time stitcher, too, but just lately, I've begun working on more than one thing at a time and I kind of like it! Can't wait to see what your next project (or projects!!) will be...
ReplyDeleteWell-done Vonna! I love this one too, but if I purchase one more stitchy, I will blow my budget for the holidays! LOL I just can't do that. But I do think that this LK is my favorite. :) Cathryn
ReplyDeleteThese little guys are just sooo darn cute! I spotted them when they were released but added them to my wishlist for now.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to my stitching, I find having more than one on the go works best for me. I get bored easily and like to switch things up. I limit things though to no more than four projects.
I just finished my Halloween Quaker so I get to start another. Yippee!
I love this series too! It's looking good!
ReplyDeleteHugs
So cute !! Going to have to get these patterns !
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I like the color fabric you chose. It really makes the thread colors pop.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
What a cute snowman! It's looking good.
ReplyDeleteI love yours Vonna! I'm really enjoying stitching mine but using DMC so will mine will look a bit different. I haven't got a snowman stitched yet though, just snow and a house!
ReplyDeleteSnow Friends looks great. I love that design and seeing yours makes me want to go start it too:))
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you started new! If our mojo is slipping I think we need to do whatever makes us happy! That's what stitching is all about -- making us happy:))
ooohhhh!! what a darling start....had not seen this pattern????? thank you so much for sharing....am off to see if i can start it....heheheee!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Vonna. I love the fabric. It is perfect. x
ReplyDeleteVonna, PLEASE tell me how and when you get so much stitching done? I have such great plans and then somehow I let other things get in my way. I would love to know your schedule.
ReplyDeleteWarm Wishes,
Darby \darbylogan@aol.com
Great start and very cute.
ReplyDeleteThe snowman piece is so cute! And
ReplyDeleteYou have 6 finishes within a finish! Can't wait to see what new project is in the works!
I love your snowman! I am glad to hear that the switching back and forth is working for you. I can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteCiao e' bellissimo e simpaticissimo,complimenti,e un abbraccio.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Mine is already to go. You've inspired me once again to get started. It is going to look so cute when it is finished.
ReplyDeleteVonna, adorable. I have the 1st 3 of these. I hope I get a chance to stitch them soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your snowmen. I'm starting with this 6 fat men soon!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Amarins
those snowmen sure are cute!
ReplyDeleteI have been tempted by those fat men but after seeing yours I know I am going to have to put them in my shopping basket - those colors are awesome! (did you use the recommended colors?)
ReplyDeleteI saw this design when it was first released and seeing your WiP makes me want it even more! It's so vibrant and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteHe is indeed such a handsome fella.
ReplyDeleteYou are on the roll, aren't you. A great design - and more to come. I'm already very curious.
ReplyDeletehello, I'm embroidering the same as you! From France!
