Great Shopping Day

I forgot to tell you that I went shopping today, nothing exciting but I had to stop at the local thrift store to drop off some of my son's clothes that he has out grown. While I was there I thought I would check to see if they had any stitching magazines or books and guess what I found?

This is all 264 skiens of DMC thread heaped up on my counter, not bad for 5 dollars.

What a nice start to the week, now to wind it all on floss holders.

Train of Dreams Update

Just thought I would post a pic of what I've been stitching on.

Seeing that it is the first Monday of the month, I had to pack this away for a week. So I'm back to working on Polar Santa for the Christmas design SAL. I'll post a pic of him later in the week.

A New Start

So my new start of the week is "Train of Dreams" a Randal Spangler design by Heaven And Earth Designs. My very first HAED so wish me luck, I might need it 1200 stitches done, 101,300 more to go.


This is what it will look like eventually.

Tweet, Tweet

Said the little birdie, I found this and many other wonderful designs on Gazette94 blog http://gazette94.blogspot.com/ take a look I'm sure you will find some you like. I had fun stitching and finishing this.

Better Late Then Never

As My Grandma use to say. I have been so busy in the garden and getting next years firewood stacked, so not much new in the TUSAL jar this month.

Another Santa Update

I know, I know you guys must be getting sick of seeing pics of this guy, and no I'm not an obsessed stitcher well OK maybe I am. Still waiting for my fabric to arrive so I can start my Heaven and Earth design, snail mail is right. I've been searching through my magazines trying to decide which ornament to stitch for April so until then Santa it will be.

Sewing Sampler

Seeing as how I haven't found a button for my "Wishing Ewe Joy" Ornament and I promised myself one totally completed ornament each month. I just had to stitch up another ornament, this one is from Marika Belfiori and I knew I had to have it for my tree as soon as I saw it. Stitched on 32 count antique white Lugana over 2 with DMC thread. Hard to believe another month is gone already, it will not be long before we are hanging these on our Christmas tree. Hope everyone is having a great start to the week.
