Stitching Up date

I have been working on Edwina Bear. She now has both legs. That little rug she is standing on is a bear to stitch.
This is a Bucilla kit called Paper Dolls/ Teddy Bear
It came with 28 count white even weave, but this was my first project on 28 count, I missed up. In the process of frogging I cut the fabric in the center, so I changed over to this fabric.I can't wait to finish.

We had a little snow. LOL I am tired of the cold. I am starting to get use to the snow. I am glad to be off from work for a couple of days. I hope to finish my friend's piece.
We got a new couch, I hope to get a good butt print going. This is our second one in a year. The old one broke at Christmas 2008. I had to sat on it for 2 months before we could get a new one. Then that one messed up in lest than a year, so the store replaced it with this one. I hope it last longer. I hope this fabric holds up, it's that microfiber stuff. I hope it cleans easy. since we have the 3 cats, and dog laying on it, and me.

Stitching Up date

I haven't worked much on the Stitcher's Studio or the bears lately. I haven't really been in the mood . But I have also been working on a Cross stitch for a gift for a friend. I hope to have it done this weekend. I will have to wait to post until the friend receives it.
I haven't even touched the horses image that. LOL

UFO now WIP

So I have been working on these 2 projects since Oct. 2008, yes I got distracted so I have decided to start working on them. I really love Edwina bear. As yo can see I got half way done on her before I laid it down. I really can't wait to finish her





Now the horse pattern, I started it for my DD. She loves horses. I hate the pattern, I think it is the color changes. I will do one or two stitches and I have to change. I have had these type of patterns before, but I am having allot trouble with this one. The colors are so close in color I was having a hard time keeping my place so I put the grid on the fabric. I hadn't done that before, but it has help. Since I haven't gotten far on it I took a picture of the book.

New Finish

I took this photo of the pieces laying flat so you could see it better. There is something about the little Gingerbread house, that makes them hard to photograph. This is the 2nd house I have completed. I will be starting on the 3rd one soon. I have really enjoyed these. This is the first time I have worked with this many seed beads. But I loved it. Well except for the part when I keep spilling the beads.

Craft Building

This is my pride and joy. It took 3 years to build and another year before we got the heat pump put in it. It started as a simple building. And grew into a huge project, but I love it. This is my craft shop A.K.A doll house. This all came about because my hobbies GREW . I had stuff ALL over the house, I was amazed where I found my craft stuff. And how much I actually had. But when I started making porcelain dolls, we knew something was going to have to give. So my husband decided I needed to go out into the backyard . I was hurt but I am over that now. LOL This is much better than trying to cut out your patterns on the living floor while the dog is walking all over you and the cat is laying on the pattern. I don't know I mite miss that, NOT!

Stumpwork Finish

O.K. This is my first time so as you can see I have posted a picture of both pieces.
