I haven't posted since December???? What the heck! Well I certainly have been stitching and crafting since then....and even more so being it is still Winter!!! Ugh! Well, let me see what I can do about posting some pics of some of my accomplishments! Facebook has been my focus lately with all the crafty friends I have there, but I really have got to start more on my blog. It's a great reference for me anyway when I forget how I made something not to mention all the ideas I get from reading other blogs....so with that said, I'm off to picture land to see what I can dig up out of the craft archives...till next time, yunz crazy guys!Lucyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587844943582332644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21606053.post-82611084497348842052012-12-14T19:33:00.001-05:002012-12-14T19:33:55.648-05:00Crafting for the holidays...I get in such a crafty mood this time of year and this year I'm in an especially stitchy mood.

Could not for the life of me get the last picture to turn the right way but that was what I was working on throughout the day. (when I wasn't buying more patterns) I'm already signed up for next year's event since there tends to be a waiting list and I don't want to lose my spot. </div>

Okay, so there's been a little more drawing than stitching but I have been stitching quite a bit. Working on some Lizzie Kate Flips and now some small Halloween ornies that I'll show soon. I have a feeling I'll be picking up a crochet hook soon too with the cool weather coming in. </div>

If you check out this site, you will find tons of Harry Potter cross stitch also. Really nice patterns. When finished, mine should look like this....<br />

And just for the record, it's a free pattern on the Internet. I believe it's from a site called littlemojo but you can also google Hogwarts crest cross stitch pattern. I'm changing the bottom left of the pattern as most of the crests are shown as a yellow background and the pattern is calling for antique blue. <br />
So with that said, I'm back to finish a little more stitching till bedtime. Till next time yunz crazy guys!<br />

Don't be mad at me for not blogging....I have a reason. I just never sit long enough at my home computer to do it. I'm always crafting. But guess what? I found the app to blog from my phone....and that means more blog posts! Woo HOO! So let's see if I can do this and I will be up and running with my latest craft goodies!

(see sidebar if you want to participate too) I was supposed to post by Tuesday, but well....I'm a procastinator as you can see. I promise to do better next month.<br />Unfortunately and as always.....Sir Echo got in the way. He insists on being right in front and on top and in the way of every stitching project I do. And he always seems to know exactly what part of the pattern I'm working on so he can sit on it....which by the way is the 2011 Littlehouse Needleworks Ornament collection.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlKqqYNQJI6tJpF5ZxCJhZz98GmXBo9jxX0oam2H97FDCeBH3lBGFBL2vAAwMLHr6km-DrRoCz_bJb8QBNvXNSzomeXL5vOtmz7SCB20dt9_gjFjSOuiu6Y3S-osuixDoQXTjFDQ/s1600/securedownload2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701993792266666274" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlKqqYNQJI6tJpF5ZxCJhZz98GmXBo9jxX0oam2H97FDCeBH3lBGFBL2vAAwMLHr6km-DrRoCz_bJb8QBNvXNSzomeXL5vOtmz7SCB20dt9_gjFjSOuiu6Y3S-osuixDoQXTjFDQ/s400/securedownload2.jpg" /></a><br />Then he has the nerve to look at me like, "yeah...well...whadda you lookin' at??"<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRGk83VObUKnFfGT50asKwxEFW4WV8rVmLU276FZRcc11CkivRjOdgVNQq9u7oOpl1Cys8CP8TlBijvPcss4lFr-PmJSpVUszwmoyJjhu-Adzvg4vjqAm0YsMCeBUbudhLdgf7A/s1600/securedownload.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 295px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701993790128810258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRGk83VObUKnFfGT50asKwxEFW4WV8rVmLU276FZRcc11CkivRjOdgVNQq9u7oOpl1Cys8CP8TlBijvPcss4lFr-PmJSpVUszwmoyJjhu-Adzvg4vjqAm0YsMCeBUbudhLdgf7A/s400/securedownload.jpg" /></a><br />So, that was my third weekend of the month Hermit post.....I'm sure there will be alot more of these as I "hermit" alot with my stitching.<br />So, till next time, yunz crazy guys!Lucyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08587844943582332644noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21606053.post-70957041680145946822012-01-20T10:01:00.003-05:002012-01-20T10:15:21.300-05:00For a Special Friend...Hubby always says I should keep the things I make instead of giving them away as they are so nice. But I have great joy in giving things to people who I know will appreciate the gift. <br />I have a dear stitching friend who is going through some health treatments right now and I thought I would cheer and surprise her with a little something to let her know I'm thinking about her and praying for her.<br />So, I made her this altoid tin scissor box with a magnetic insert.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65tS9a-fC3u0GUUu1m98woY-5c4nZB4LE46ZwH-jX5U4LgA5nJPWyCunbMDityWMGGmrq5o8foHVLFnDqKbCTs_6A99Mbg8NDG9UC3baNiVvKNxxLANMMEJsFhx0cG2E3vvhG7A/s1600/securedownload1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699729818152274386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65tS9a-fC3u0GUUu1m98woY-5c4nZB4LE46ZwH-jX5U4LgA5nJPWyCunbMDityWMGGmrq5o8foHVLFnDqKbCTs_6A99Mbg8NDG9UC3baNiVvKNxxLANMMEJsFhx0cG2E3vvhG7A/s400/securedownload1.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2h89EeFVaxTolM_gP1SlUVyHQGNshil6b4I7IRdpBFYSSQn7RbrZHtvbY0KAoyrcBRBWcyYSc7RUluiaxtmnfmih_6rdRpB7wxbNnvjhhZ0wtkGTx22GmephdFg_xHG4GRFU7Tw/s1600/securedownload.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699729816307967106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2h89EeFVaxTolM_gP1SlUVyHQGNshil6b4I7IRdpBFYSSQn7RbrZHtvbY0KAoyrcBRBWcyYSc7RUluiaxtmnfmih_6rdRpB7wxbNnvjhhZ0wtkGTx22GmephdFg_xHG4GRFU7Tw/s400/securedownload.jpg" /></a>I also added this super easy needle keep.

I've been waiting for one of these stores to open near us for a very long time and finally my wish came true. I even emailed their headquarters once and asked why there wasn't one in PA. At that time they were only building so far out from their headquarters. So now we have one and I love it!

While I was crocheting on vacation, I whipped up this lighter cover/carrier for the lady of the house.

<br />When we were on vacation, we had the pleasure of babysitting these two little munchkins for a couple afternoons. We call them our "surrogate" grandchildren as they are not directly related to us but we love them just as much as if they were.

<br />It's much easier for me to make things for little girls than little boys, so I was able to spoil our blonde cutie pie with some Barbie fashions. (not to worry, our little guy was spoiled too) A couple of outfits I made before leaving on vacation, one while in the car driving to vacation (so I wouldn't be a NAG-a-vator) and the remainder while on vacation.
<br />This first one was supposed to be a top, but ended up being a wrap around dress.

Unfortunately, one of the little ones came down with Strep but they caught it early and he was put on meds ASAP and is doing fine....I however, came back with an upper respiratory infection which I had last week and I too (with the help of meds) am doing much better. So, I'm back on track with my "even" days post. I'm hoping to post, in the next few days, a little of what I've been up to while away.
<br />So, with that said......stay tuned....till next time, yinz crazy guys!
