Niki's First Finished Project

First finished project of the year although it's not stitching, oh well.  The hat was finished right before Christmas just needed to finish the little scarf, and add a squeaker to the beak for a silly little girl.

TAST Week 1-3 ~Niki

So I just got all three weeks of the TAST challenge started... I'm hoping this works... It looks haphazard right now, but I'm creating my own design out of the stitches.

Buttonhole Stitch

Fly Stitch

Feather Stitch

Overall Design

More Stitching Programs

We have also decided to try the TAST Challenge.  We think that it is a great way to learn some new stitches. At http://www.pintangle.com

Start of Wipocalypse - Rory

This is Shalom Angel a Mar Bek design by Rebecca Waldrop.  I think it has an hour on it.

This is Enter with a Happy Heart Banner a Needlework adaptation by Donna Vermillion Giampa and Carol Emmer.  This project is done on Silkweaver's French Vanilla Swirl, 32ct.

This is Wish Upon A Star a Counted Cross Stitch Design by Jennifer L. Aikman-Smith.

Also a not yet started project I am going to be doing is the Hope Tree, the same as my mom's but with white fabric.

Why we're here.

We started this blog to keep track of our stitching throughout the new year (2012) in case there isn't a new one. ;)  Last year wasn't particularly productive (especially for Rory)... Let's hope this year goes better.  We'll be adding photos of where we are starting... and then progress photos (if the zombies don't get us first).
