Wicked!!

When I first saw this design by PrimitiveBettys, I knew I wanted to stitch it!!! There is just something about it that keeps calling my name!!! Maybe I, too, wanted to be a little bit wicked from time to time~ So here it is~

Pattern: PrimitiveBettys “Wicked
Thread: DMC cotton floss
Fabric: 28ct evenweave coffee dyed
Size: 3.25" x 2.25"
Completion Date: 10-28-2009

It is stitched one over one, on my very first try of coffee dyed fabric. Please excuse the not so perfect corners and cording around the edge. I keep telling myself these imperfections add to the primitive feel of the piece… ;-)

Happy Halloween~~~

I am Blessed!!

Hello, my stitching friends, sorry for being MIA for such a long time. The past couple of weeks had been pretty hectic, first being a little bit under the weather, then running around places with a visiting friend. This week wasn’t very relaxing, either. I wish I can just have a whole day not needing to go anywhere but stay at home all day…

But it seemed that I was not the only one being so busy!! The postman was also overworked delivering packages to me!! I have received so many packages this past week that my DH was soooo jealous of me~ First it was a PIF package from Jessie. She knows that I like Lizzie Kate and tea so she combined the two in this stitch!!! Isn’t this adorable?! I love how she added the lace around the frame!! She also included some extra lace, buttons, and a beautiful fabric that she dyed herself. Thank you so much, Jessie, I will cherish this forever!!!

I must have dome something right cause I have been really fortunate recently. I have won several giveaways in the past few weeks which was a total surprise!!! I even thought of getting a lottery ticket at the grocery store the other day but they did not sell them there. I guess someone is telling me not to use up all my luck in one time!! ;-) Thank you Cindy, Melissa, and Cameo for hosting such wonderful giveaways!!! I am truly blessed and inspired by your generosity!! I will think of someway to spread the love~~

Although I didn’t have a lot of spear time, I did not forget about my stitching. I’ve read from Lesley’s blog a few weeks ago that she has been doing 12 stitches a day. This inspired me to be doing the same, so I started to do at least 12 stitches a day on my Mary Wigham Sampler. Twelve stitches doesn’t sound much, but little by little, I’m getting closer and closer to the finish line. Here is my progress so far.
