Tee Time

Hello Stitchers!

I finished this about 2 months ago and gave it to a co- worker who was retiring. He really liked it and put it on display at his retirement party for others to see. I also have another finish that I hope to post soon.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there!

Busy Spring

Good Morning Readers,

This week is going to be wild. First my granddaughter Cassie graduates high school. We are so proud of Cassie she will start college in the fall.
This week I am packing to move to Blue Springs, Mo into my daughter's basement apartment. I will watch the five year old grandson and keep an eye on the 12 year old grandson.

Then next weekend my son graduates college and him and his wife are moving to Nebraska.

Couple all of this with a doctor's appointment tomorrow. A graduation party and my daughter Amanda flying in for the graduation there is much much much to do.

Then the next weekend my husband will bring up my furniture up and spend Memorial Day Weekend with us.

Then I will watch my two grandsons full time.
I suspect I won't get much stitching in until after Memorial Day. This is actually fine with me as my stitching place will not be set up until Memorial Day. I will have Frank bring my desktop computer up.
What are your plans for Memorial Day? Oh and I am currently reading Birthday Murder by Leslie Meir.
Hugs,
Pam

just a quick update

Here is my SpiritDancer - my goal is to have her done by the end of May.

"Red and Yellow Maple Leaves"

I finished "Red and Yellow Maple Leaves" today.  It is a chart from Japan.  I will have it framed professionally since it was a big project which took me 6 months off and on to complete.  This is my first completed UFO challenge of 2013.

Viv's Deep Blue Sea

OK - as promised, here is my progress on Deep Blue Sea - I've nearly finished Part One, and made a start on the next two parts.  No beads or crystals yet.  I intend to sew the beads on before progressing to Part Four, but all the crystals will have to wait until the end; I'm worried that they might catch on threads/fabric and cause damage.  Hopefully clicking on the thumbnail will take to a better view :)

Meari's Japanese Garden

I've made some progress! Here's what it looked like before:

 

And now:

 

Other JG WIP photos can be seen HERE. It's pretty cool to see the steps along the journey.   To answer Chris' question... I have found stitchers who had the colors I was short on so hopefully, I will have enough to finish JG.

progress of "Red and Yellow Maple Leaves"

I am slowly near the end of this design, "Red and Yellow Maple Leaves".  Hopefully I can finished this before end of April.   It is 15 inches high by 12 inches wide.  I have a few backstitching to do when I finished the stitching part.
