New blog!

Hi all! Well, I have started this new blog since I couldn't find a way to sign in to the other one. It's a huge mess because the email I used to sign up is not used any more and the log in info is lost. So I'm going to see how this goes using my phone. I don't see how I'll be able to upload pictures either but maybe..oh I see how to load pics now! Well, here we go! 

I had a new start last month, by PSS 

It's a little blurry because I took the picture from off my iPad. I'll have to start taking pictures with my cell. Anyway I am starting to build the house.

Next up is progress on Frosty Forest..
I finished that 4th block with the greenish house and just kept going! The border of the Frosty Forest block was mind numbing but once I got the pattern in my head, it went fast. I have folded it up and put away to stitch on next year.

So my Harvest Halloween exchange partner received my package to her..
I bought her a Lucy Beam/Becky Noland project bag and some trims and floss. See the box? I modified the design by putting the word Scary in between Small and Treasures. Here's how the model in the PN&PS looks from the Summer 2019 issue..

More pictures..
My partner loves it all. I'm waiting for my exchange gifts to arrive, probably next Wednesday.

I also stashed..
My first Hands Across the Sea sampler. It's not super big and I love the colors. I'll save it as a new start in 2021.

After I press publish, I'm going to find you all and add you to my blog roll. I couldn't bear to lose you all.

It being 2020, blogging problems just add to this weird year we're having but at a smaller scale. It's this blog and many others that are saving my sanity along with stitching! I hope you'll all join me here at this new version and keep the old one on your list. I can access my old blog on my iPad and phone but can't login on my phone!

Take care and stay safe and healthy!

    I found the new blog, but there's no Follow button here. Great work on the PSS house. Frosty Forest is looking good too.
    Lovely exchange and I love the change you made to make it spookier!

    So far, fingers crossed, I haven't had issues with the new blogger but I've read quite a few have. I love what you're working on and looking forward to seeing your progress on your first HATS!

    Glad to see you haven't abandoned blogging, Shelly :) I'm doing okay with the new blogger--still some things I don't like, but, hey--it's free, right? Nice progress on your Frosty Forest and I'm sure your exchange partners are thrilled with their gifts. Hope your week ahead is a good one, Shelly--take good care now. ♥

Maynia update, parade

Hi all! Hope you're doing well and staying healthy. I totally forgot to post the rest of my WIP parade! So today I'll show more WIPs and my stitching for Stitchmaynia. Let's go! First up is Kringles by LHN... I stitched to the 17th and stopped. The pattern has 3 dormer windows, I've stitched just the 1. The roof is kicking my butt! The white fence-like stitching is like a widow's walk. I would get tired of doing the roof and would stitch the windows, etc. I will stitch on this during the WIP challenge coming up Summer Solstice. The next project is Midnight Ride.. The fabric is more dk blue gray. I stitched from the center where the bat is up to the witch because I prefer starting at the top. You would think I would have more stitched in 14 days but I found I could only stitch during weekends. Parade time! This bunch of WIPs are from my bday SAL and they haven't been touched since then. In no particular order.. lol This one I'm not too happy with. I may shelv

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas however you had it in this time of covid. I spent mine with my daughter and her boyfriend. We ate breakfast burritos, buffalo chicken dip, chocolate, and cookies! It was perfect! Then my 1 brother from Phoenix drove up to join us. Here we are in a new year full of Hope. I am hoping that we can get a handle on covid, get the election quandary figured out but mostly get back to living again without masks and hand sanitizer. My family are doing well and staying healthy. This post is going to be about my usual yearly update, the winner of the nice leftovers from my giveaway, and plans for this year. Let's go! The winner of the new year's eve giveaway is Jackie! Congrats Jackie! See below what I'll be sending you. I'm pretty sure you are a high count fabric stitcher. You are in a few FB groups that I'm in.  A BBD project bag that I've had for a long time, bagged up and was never used. A cute squirrel needle minde
