Flowering Vine

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve done any stitching.  I just have to be in the mood for it.  Wish I was in the mood for it more often.  I’ve finally finished this pattern.  In the book it is made into a pillow but I think I will just use it as a table runner.

Maggie’s pattern “Flowering Vine” is in her newest book.  It’s always hard to see the true colors of the wools when you take pictures. 

Now maybe I can get some other projects done while I’m still in the mood, but my mood can change at any moment so who’s to tell?!  I sure admire those of you that can whip out several things at once!

Happy Stitching!

Changes

 I had to change my settings so no one can leave anonymous comments on my blog anymore..  I was getting way too many  Anonymous Spam comments.  I don’t know if anyone else has been having trouble or not but I sure was.  It wasn’t too bad for awhile but then I kept getting more and more.

I also changed the template on my blog and in doing so I’ve had a few little glitches that I’m still trying to get worked out. Sometimes it’s just not easy when you go making changes unless you are editing photos, then changes are kind of fun, and with a few clicks of my mouse I turned my orange, black and yellow to blue and white.

 

Now that’s a change I can handle!

Dreary Snow and Pretty Flowers

The good news is that my pretty Valentine flowers from Rusty are still looking good!

The weather on the other hand is not.

 

The snow makes everything look dreary!

That is until you take the flowers outside and lay them in the snow, then it’s pretty!

Enjoying my snow day…

My Little Log Home Revisited

It’s been kind of a boring day so I was looking through some old pictures and found these that I had taken when I decorated my little log home. It started out like this, which is fine but I wanted to change it up a bit.

Click on pictures to enlarge.

Then we had to put in wood flooring, aka popsicle sticks.

Fancied up the front porch.

Then the fun part…decorating the inside!

It was a lot of fun. I just wish there would have been lots more rooms to decorate! Maybe I should build on?!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Have a Happy Heart day!

Bird, I Mean Cat Watching

Rusty and I were watching all this commotion out the window this morning. You might have to click on the pics to enlarge them so you can actually see the cat in the bush. He kind of blends in.  I’ve never seen a cat sit on top of a bush before, doesn’t look too comfy to me! These are not our cats by the way.

Can’t you just imagine their conversation?

“Hey, what you doing up there?”

“Oh man, I hope nobody comes along and sees this!”

 

Enter another cat….

“How did she get up there? Did you knock over the ladder?”

 

 

“Nope, no ladder!”

“I think I will continue to watch from over here and pretend I don’t know her!”

Silly cats!
