What I have been doing for June

So, early in the month I put my stitching down and was busy with other things. I just wasn't feeling it so I took a break. I had been working on this pattern and kept rebuying the pattern because my stitch was off, when I learned I could photocopy it for a "working copy" I was so happy. I picked up some prisma col erase pencils and that has been working great. I change colors every bit or so and that has also helped me stay on track. Now that I had that figured out I began to enjoy stitching again. I am a newbie to stitching and just didn't know all the tricks of the trade.

I have started working on "Snowdrop Fairy" again and have gotten a bit done. Here is a photo....

Not bad if you take in how many times I restarted it. So I have some of the dress and have started the hair. This is a photo of what it will look like...

And because I was needing a change I started the "Live Simply" by Dimensions design. I love the daisy on it as it is my favorite flower. This is where I have reached in the pattern...

I have gotten a bit done but still a bit more to go... This is what it looks like...

I am looking forward to completing this I am going to change the colors in the blocks to match my decor better.

So, this inserting pictures is pretty easy once someone told me how to do it, lol. Thanks Mel L.

I am impatiently waiting for my birthday on July 4 so I can see if I get any stitching stuff... I have a list I want to order but I don't want to buy something if my hubby is getting it for me, lol...

Until next time, Happy Stitching!

June's Cross Stitch Update

Well I haven't much to post this month I haven't done any stitching this month maybe a total of 150 stitches. I have bee enjoying this summer weather and haven't began stitching much. I have been told how to insert a photo and had full intentions on doing so if I had anything to show for it. I bought one pattern and a few books but I used a gift card for half price books to get them and found the pattern at walmart and it was bought for me as a birthday gift. My birthday is 4 July and the kit was marked down to $5 but because it is a birthday gift I don't get it until my birthday sooo I can't remember which one it was, lol. Until July
