Summer Sampler and New Sandals- woohoo for the summer!

I made the third block from the Summer Sampler Series- Mosaic- But right now while I am posting these I realize that I did it wrong- I probably won't go back and fix it. I kind of like the windmill shape that it makes. This one took a little longer than the others but I feel like I am still doing ok. I am getting a little intimidated by some of the blocks coming up.

Check out the schedule for the QAL at Freshly Pieced.

I got some new summer sandals today from Target. I LOVE them- love the color, love the fit, can't wait to wear them the rest of the summer. Don't mind the bandaids on my ankle and my pasty feet- aren't the sandals cute!!

Happy Stitching/Crafting/Sewing!!! Thanks for stopping by!

Great sunny day!

Today has been a great day- I spent the morning doing chores and taking the dogs for a walk. Then this afternoon I went to hobby lobby to get a seam ripper and some cross stitch floss. I ended up leaving with a bunch of new scrapbook paper and stickers as well :)

Here is just a sample of some of the prints I picked out- I am excited about the camoflage one in the middle- I think hubby will like it a lot.


Then when I got home from that relaxing trip I check the mail and I find this package- it is a snowman from the round robin I started several years ago and I never got back (well I still haven't got mine back yet) but this one is adorable and I was so excited that Robin stitched it up for me. Haven't decided how to finish it yet but I know it will be on display when winter rolls around! She also sent some stamped cards that are really cute. Robin is very creative and makes great jewelry as well as stamping and cross stitching... visit her blog here. Just made my day.


Happy stitching everyone!

Got the Birth announcement kit in the mail :)

Got my kit for the birth announcement in the mail. It is called ModZoo from Dimensions.
I ordered it on Monday and it came on Sunday. It is just too cute and I can't wait to start stitching on it. I have until December 31st until little Kinsley ( my new neice) gets here!

Trying to find the motivation to get up and work on piecing my quilt.... Too tired!

Saturday Saturday

Today I feel like I made some progress. I didn't actually stitch much, but I went to Hobby Lobby and got some materials to work on the perpetual calendar that I am stitching. I also started on the April Erica Michaels pattern and ran a race. Got some blue and tan Monaco fabric at Hob Lob too. I hope to post my progress on Under the Friendship tree tomorrow!
