Now say that fast 5 or 6 times! This one is called Jack Pine and will be the last one in the Fab Firs series of trees. Remember I said that I wasn’t necessarily stitching them in order? Did I say that this is my favorite one so far?
These canvases are by NeedleDeeva, stitched by moi and it will be the next retailers club available for your stitching pleasure through your favorite needlepoint shop. They will be starting later this year in August/September.
Remember this pile of threads from the other day? well you can see this canvas right on top. Some of the the trees are headed their way to the finishers so that they will be ready for the their debut at the Columbus TNNA market. We are talking finishing them as standups, maybe in different heights so that they would make a wonderful display on your mantel or a side table.
The weekend weather report was sunny and beautiful on Saturday, and Sunday the sun never showed its face until about 2 or 3 in the afternoon. I watched allot of baseball, did a little stitching and worked for hours and hours on the computer. Between stitch guides and getting the writing for Needlepoint Now ready to go to Elizabeth…where did the time go to? She then needs to send it all out to the proofers so that they can begin their work. I have one stitch guide for the magazine to finish up and then it will be time for drawing the stitches mixed in with writing a few reviews of my latest finds in the needlepoint world.
Then its time for the stitch guides for the trees, sometimes they can take hours and hours, making sure everything is just purr~fect! I too am not one who like to wait till the last minute as I don’t do my best work that way.
AlleyCat & Sylvester were letting me know that I was on the computer too long and ignoring them way too much yesterday! I have this big porcelain urn on the hearth of the fireplace and it is their toy box. When they want a toy to amuse themselves with or to get me to play with them, they go fishing for one or two or three…well you get the idea.
I knew that they were taking out a few toys as I can hear them…and when I did give in to go and get it up, this is what I found!
These kids, what am I going to do with them? and until next time…keep on stitching
I agree with you. Each time I see a Fab Fir, I think “that” one is my favorite… until I see the next one. And, then… the next one is my new favorite. Having seen them for their photo shoot, I can only say I love them all. They are purr-fect.
thanks Robin!
What a cute picture of Sylvester and the toys – poor baby done wore himself out! You really need to give them and yourself a ‘play date’ so that you can bond…..from the mouth of Miss Melisse – who now has an opinion on everything you do on your blog Vicky!
I miss my Melisse! I need a play date with her one of these days!
The trees are just beautiful Vicky! You are making me want to stitch each one….I do so enjoy hearing about Alley Cat and Sylvester’s antics. What an adorable picture of Sylvester!
Thank you so much and Sylvester says thank you too!
