I’ve been working on my first ever stitch-a-long. This is Midnight Way by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. I’m having a blast, even though I want able to keep up with the releases. My goal is to have it all done by Halloween.

This happy fox is my last finish for Jolly July! I used DMC Etolile floss for the snow. Even though is looks grey, I like the sparkle.

Started July 31st and finished August 6th

Day 4 of July Jolly and I almost have a finish! And this is my very first attempt at French knots...not too bad. Just have add some stars around this cutie.

I’m so excited for my first Jolly July! I’m planning on stitching all 9 of the free gift pack patterns from the Enjoy Cross-stitch magazine Xmas 2014 Issue 12. Day 1 is this cute little deer!

I am challenging myself to do 100 stitches a day on this project. Only got 96 because there is a big knot in my thread and I just don’t want to deal with it this late. Not to mention, I did one stitch to many and now I’m wondering if I want to frog all the way back to fix it. (The answer is nope)

Indroduction:

Hello everyone! Welcome to my stictching blog. Just to tell you a little bit about me:

~ I’m a dog mom to a German Shepard/Chow mix, named Kylo (as in Kylo Ren from Star Was). He lives up to the name.

~ I love to read and play video games...I am just nerdy girl in general.

~ I have been surronded by cross stitching my whole life. My Granny, Anut, and Mother all cross stitch. I "started" cross stitching at a young age. I did a few stamped learn-a-craft kits when I was little. I started and completed my very first counted cross stitch in May of 2010. And I haven't looked back since!

~ The things I love about cross stitching are:

1) It's great therapy! It allows you to have time for yourself to escape the crazyness of life.

2) It makes great personal gifts to give or if you keep them for yourself, you will always have a beautiful piece of art.

3) I just love watching a project come to life! At first it's just a block of color and then slowly shapes emerge, etc. I think it's amazing that I can create something out of nothing. At first it's just a blank piece of farbic then when you're done, there's this work of art!

I’ll be posting pictures of my cross stitch projects.

I hope you enjoy my blog!
