January Baubles
I've decided that this year I want to finish up my baubles (SamSarah Designs) - last year I only managed to stitch March and April and wasn't able to completely finish up the cubes. Hopefully this year will be better. So here is January, mounted on its half of a cube (February will get attached to the back next month). It was stitched straight, but got a bit wonky when I laced it to the box, and since I only noticed once the cording was sewn on, it's not coming off! It's only for me, and now I know I absolutely need to lace rather than glue together, so hopefully Feb will be straighter.


I'm also hoping to work on my monthly house sampler (Grilles de Maryse) so if I'm lucky will have some more pics for the blog.

March Baubles

Here is my latest seasonal finish - March Baubles from SamSarah. It is stitched on the recommended fabric (28ct Newport ??) with the recommended GAST and WDW threads and the JABC buttons that came with it. When I get April done, I'll finish them together as a cube, with the SilverNeedle finishing kits.

Being that we still have tons of snow here, I'm going to do one more winter piece, I think, and then switch to spring to encourage me. I'm loving the spring/Easter pics everyone has posted though.

Still on cats
Hello there!
First of all I want to thank Nicki for moving the blog in here, since I think Blogger is the best platform for blogging and I use it also for my own blog (even though I update rarely, sorry about that!).
Talking about stitching, during Febrauary I kept working on Calendar Cats: I realized the February Cat, half the heading and I put some stitches on the October cat which is still unfinished.
I havent started the March cat yet, I think I'll do it on Monday evening.
I leave you with a pic of my last progress, see you!
