Little Sleep = More Stitching

As I posted yesterday the new meds are keeping me from sleeping, which is not always a bad thing.  I'm sure it will catch up with me in a day or two but meantime I'm working hard on some projects for the upcoming Wicked Blog Hop - my day to post is the 22nd - and a couple of other small things were finished this week as well.  I'm still loving these Kathy Schmitz BOM stitcheries!



Two more months done!  I think I've completed six of these now, with two more of the embroideries completed and waiting the borders.  I've used her patterns for some of the borders but others I've done something different.  This snowman is one I did my own thing on - I had that icy blue batik and wanted to use it to frame the stitchery since it matched the Snow banner so perfectly.

And on a "I'm so thankful" note - fall has finally arrived here!  Well maybe only for one day.  But oh what a gorgeous day it was.  :)   I took most of my summer clothes out of the closet and put them into storage.  Now I'm not crazy...I left a few pairs of capris in there...but surely I can make it from now on with jeans.  Right?  Right?

And on an even better note today is my anniversary.  Yep, birthday last week; anniversary this week.  We have officially made it to 49 years.  Oh.  My.  Goodness.

  12. The snowman is my favorite. I have been through the sleepless nights when on a certain medication. No fun at all.

  20. WOW!! 49, AWESOME! Was just thinking of Frank today--his 68th birthday would've been this coming Sat. and we would've hit the 33rd anniv. in Nov. Bittersweet time right now..still miss him terribly. And I feel your pain in the sleeping dept. Have been on 'sleep assistive' (HA) meds for a few yrs. now.

  25. Your stitcheries are darling. I like your snowman border. That fabric really does go well with the embroidery.

  26. I hate to say how far behind I am on keeping up with blog-reading, so my apologies for late anniversary wishes. Wowee! 49 years is huge! I bet you're planning something super-special for next year. A cruise? Trip to Australia? Your stitcheries are so lovely. Just a nice little bit to work on and then you've got a finish - my kind of projects. Hope you're enjoying jeans weather. Happily, I'm still wearing shorts, and lovin' that!
