First, my needle book from the Traveling Stitcher by Little House Needleworks. I stitched the cover of the needle book back in July, but hadn't decided if I was going to purchase the Project Keeper or make my own. I decided to "wing it" and give it a try.
I had just picked up the cute little pair of scissors on Thursday, when my daughter and I decided to take advantage of her day off and take a quick trip to a little cross stitch shop called Welcome Stitchery about an hour and a half away in Illinois. It was *such* a fun trip! Anyway, my little scissors needed some sort of fob, so I quickly stitched the little girl from the Traveling Stitcher chart, added my name and put it together quickly with some pinking shears and felt. I'm so thrilled to have a needle book! Perhaps I won't keep dropping my needles on the floor now!
Next I finished a quick Pine Mountain stitch that I also picked up on Thursday. I'm doing it in different colors for the pillow that it came with, so this one, I decided to incorporate into a little quilted mug mat that I'll be passing along to Ann as her pay it forward from November. (I'm pretty sure she's on a blogging break right now and won't see this, but if she does... Hi Ann!).
I did some stitching this week on two of my other Crazy challenge pieces, but not really enough to show, and I need to settle on something for the rest of the weekend. I might just go through my basket and see what calls my name. :-)
Blessings!
