Mercy Mercy Happy Dance

Good afternoon dear friends,

I know it's been a few more days gone since I've wanted to post, my excuse is that each day I thought I would have Mercy Mercy done, ran out of a color and also did some ripping out, ran out yesterday to LNS and got the thread, finished it today and am so happy I have another finish for the year.  I really love this piece.  The pictures do the colors no justice.  The linen has more hues of green in it.

changed WDW from Granite (too lite) to GAST Tin Bucket

I've already started LHN Needleworker....from this years market, I have been dying to jump into that for awhile too.  It was a toss up between that and Crumpets and Tea....of course I need to continue to work on Baby it's cold outside.

Oh the sun is shining today, the wind is blowing and the mail just came....YEH, my Hooked on Exchanges Spring exchange arrived, all the way from the Netherlands, I'm so excited, Mylene did the most beautiful job on this mattress finish, I've never done one of these (yet), ther work is beautiful.  I love this pattern, I bought it yesterday, lol, only a dollar, it's S is for Spring by Prairie Schooler.  I saw this on Carols blog and since I didn't win her giveaway, I grabbed it to do for myself, see  God new that Mylene had sent this to me and I didn't need 2!

Just a few pictures of the pups this week, Duncan doing his normal poses.  What a attention hog.  I was doing yardwork and Chole got scared of the noise from the rake on the concrete and ran to one of her hiding places...

Hope everyone has a great week!  Now, back to stitching.

Be blessed
Dawn

A few finishes

Good morning dear friends,

Yesterday was busy, I made time to finish my La D Da block and my WTNT pieces, feels so good to see it finished. 

Smell My Feet by La D Da, JCS 2008

I tried adding more ribbons but didn't like it so I took it off, maybe I'll run into something at Jo Anns to make it pop more.

 Autumn Splendor~ ABC for Crow Pinkeep

I enjoyed making this by WTNT, it was a quick stitch. 

My daughter was watching disney movies all evening and Chloe was very interested in Lady and the Tramp, espically in the beginning when Lady was crying.  Chloe typically is a sports fanatic, loves football and soccer, she will generally run up to the tv and watch games for a few minutes.

Lastly, my partner Erin from HOE received her package from me.  I made her a pillow using Black Jack from Country Rustic Primatives and a few goodies to go with it.  I can't seem to find the picture I took so i used the one off of HOE that she took.

Last evening as I was working on The Toy Gather by Shepherds Bush, I saw where I made an error, and since it the same on both sides, I had to fix it because it will show up when it's framed.  Sooo, I ripped stitches out, sigh, 3 hours worth of work to fix my error, and then worked on it somemore, now it's time to go back and see if I can play catch up.  

Thanks everyone for visiting, have a great Monday no matter what the weather is!

Blessings,

Dawn
