Rest Stop Finish

I am so excited to be finished stitching Rest Stop.
I have a new quilting project that has completely distracted me so I must get back to it.
More later

Rest Stop WIP

I actually did some cross stitching this week!
This is a very fun stitch but I hope to finish it very soon as I have another chart calling my name.  There is some metallic thread that will need to be done but I am hoping it won't be too stressful to work with.
My last update was late January on this wip and I can't believe I let it sit for so long.
Happy Easter

Update on Rest Stop

I am having the best time stitching this chart.  I may have to stop for a while because as we all know, it's time to bury ourselves in tax paperwork.  This will be my light at the end of the tunnel - with such a wonderful carrot to chase I should be able to dispatch the paperwork in record time this year.
Have a happy week of stitching.

Rest Stop WIP

I have made some progress on my Stoney Creek chart called Rest Stop.  I want to keep moving along on this because as usual when January comes around I reflect on the dozens of projects that I didn't even get started in the prior year and the many wips that I didn't even add one stitch to.
I like the frame that is displayed with this but I think it will look nice in a regular frame too.
Have a great week of stitching.

Happy New Year and a WIP

I can't believe I started this almost 2 months ago.  I have only been stitching on it since the holidays ended so November and December are busy enough without trying to work in a new WIP.  Did I actually believe I might finish this by Christmas 2014?
Yesterday morning it started snowing and it snowed all day and more fell during the night.  We now live in a beautiful winter wonderland but neither of us wants to go to the street to check the mailbox until the sun comes out and melts the snow covering everything.

I decided to add a picture of our pop up camper taken  from our deck this morning.  The layer of snow accumulated on the top is 10 1/2 inches deep.  There certainly won't be any camping with this any time before next spring.  We have had this pop up since 1979 and it has so many fun family outings in its history.

Sending best wishes and blessings to everyone in the new year.

Another Start!

I know there isn't very much to see yet but it's always good to document when I start my many wips so here is Stoney Creek's Rest Stop.  I received this chart from a very nice lady on the 123 Stitch message board.
I received a package of miscellaneous parts for my 221.  It's been cleaned, oiled and greased so it purrs like a kitten and sews a wonderful seam.  I don't believe I will need another birthday present for a long time. :)
It still needs a new light unit which is on back order from  http://www.sew-classic.com/ .  I have ordered from them a few times and I am always very pleased with the customer service so if you are looking for anything for your sewing machine, check them out.
