Elaine L*K's A-B-C-razy Name

This is a UFO that should never have become a UFO. It's a small enough design that I should have been able to finish it way sooner than I did. This is for my great-niece Emma. I take care of her before & after school and on no-school days.I stitched this with DMC Variations and a few GAST. I still have to do the one for my grandson Louie. I was almost done with this one today and had to frog twice, the first time almost 100 stitches and the 2nd time 17 stitches. The 2nd time was the same mistake. :p

Elaine-2 UFO finishes

I finished 2 UFOs! In January I finished my L*K months. I really love the way this turned out. It's hard to see the tiny buttons on each one but they are there. I'm hoping to get it in a frame to enter in the county fair this summer.

I also finished some coffee pictures I have been working on for my daughter's kitchen. I stitched the first one in 2005! I don't know why it took me so long to finish them. I guess becaue I kept putting them down to start another piece. Which is why I have so many UFOs! :) They are finally done, framed and in her home.

Right now I'm working on a few small things (not UFOs) and the UFO of my other daughter's wedding piece. Hopefully that one will be done for her 4th anniversary on May 3rd. I can't show that one until it's done because I don't want to take the chance she will see it. :)

Elaine-L*K Bits Months

Finished September, now on to October! I think I may be able to finish this UFO within the first few weeks of 2012. :)

Elaine-Lizzie*Kate Bits UFO

I finally got a start on my UFOS! I thought we were waiting till Jan 1st so I was working on other stuff. But anyway, I'm here and ready to go. Last night I pulled out my tub of UFOs to choose which one I wanted to start with. I chose L*K's Flip-It Bits months. I only had a little bit of August done and finished that one last night & today. Just need to do Sept-Dec now. I've been wanting to finish this one, but it's been hard for me to pick up and work on. I started this as a stitch-a-long with my online friend Angie in 2007. At the time Angie was in remission from breast cancer. It came back and she got worse very quickly. Angie passed away just after Christmas 2007. Every time I work on it I think about her and it makes me sad. I finally decided she would want me to finish it. I miss her a lot and wish we would have been able to meet in person. I still have links to both her old and new blogs on my blog. Just can't delete them. Here's to you Angie! I miss our crazy chats. ='(
