After spending most of my day working my fingers away on the Mac, my soul needed some serious stitching time! I haven’t been stitching too much since coming back from the trade show, well except for a few Christmas ornaments…and I will share those at another time.

I have been neglecting the Needle Deeva Easter House and even though my deadline is months away, I never do like waiting to the last minute. There is also another canvas for Ruth Schmuff that I need to shop for some more threads and get my flying fingers busy stitching it. So out this came, along with the threads for it, as I set myself up for an evening of stitching. Ice Tea poured, stand and light set up, stitching glasses at hand, scissors, needles, check on the cats and then the most important of all…which baseball game do I want to watch? Started off with the Red Sox and Phillies, not that I am a fan of either team, but I was intrigued by these two teams facing each other!

The evening of baseball was great and the stitching even better! I finished the shutters, played around with some ideas for the ducks in the windows, even though I believe that they are not windows, but just openings in this fancy Easter house. I worked on the grass, but did not finish the top blades for a reason. My thought is once the house is constructed  that I will bring these blades of grass over the house. I will try one section first to make sure I like it before I do the entire house…so that I don’t have to realize that I don’t like it, it is not working and it all needs to come out!

I was going to try out a few of the stitches that I selected for the house, but it seems like Sylvester had other ideas. Now there are at least a million and one places that you can park yourself, why does it have to be on my book? and until next time…keep on stitching
