Mindless Stitching

Hi all! Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July, those of you who celebrate. Mine was low-key, just the way I like it! I think our monsoon season has begun, yay. The humidity has been up and earlier today we had a thunderstorm roll through, raining for a couple of hours. I was out during errands and got pretty drenched. Us Arizonans wait for our rains with anticipation!

I have progress to show, new stash, plans, and my exchange gift. No FFO's, haven't been in the mood!

After I finished The Merry Hart by PSS, I had to pull out Salem Hornbook because I enjoyed stitching on a PSS. Here's the before..

and the after..

Sorry for the wrinkles. Pretty good progress. I stitched on this for a good while and

then got bored! So it's back in its project bag. I just have that whole bottom

portion to stitch. So I dove into my bag of WIPs waiting for any of them to give

me a signal and this one was it..

This is a Maynia start two years ago. Happy Owlidays that came from one 

of those cross stitch Christmas books by Craftways. Here's the before..

and after..

The fabric might be PTP legacy or wren, not sure. It's a cutie. It's a bit strange

going from 1 over 2 to 2 over 2, always feels like it's so bulky. But

then I feel that way going from a high count fabric to a lower one. The PTP is 32ct.

Anyway, it's not a very big design. From that big snowflake to the gray line at 

the bottom is how high it is. I will stay with this one until I get bored or 

finish!

I found this latest magazine at Joanne's..

Here are 4 designs that I like..

See the Small Treasures design on the box below the magazine? I'm joining

Dixiesamplar's Haunted Harvest Exchange this year as usual. Sign ups are

this Monday and deadline is the 29th. I'm stitching that design but going to stick the word Scary between Small and Treasures and fill it with some small stitched items like a scissor fob, that 

small pincushion that is 3 pictures up, and a few other things. That's my plan but it depends 

on who my partner will be. I'm a Halloween fanatic and not every one is. We'll see.

Anyone who wants to join, go to Dixiesamplar's Exchange Group at FB. 

Giveaway! Yes, this magazine extra..

 

I will draw

 names a week from today if more than 1 person wants it.

There are some really nice projects in this issue. Be a follower, comment that you would 

like to have it. Sorry I can only mail in the U.S.

Alrighty, this will have to be it. Blogger is going nuts!

Hope your weekend is going well and that you're able to stitch!

Take care!
