Acorn's Friend

8/22/13 - I'M ADOPTED!!  Luv, Butternut 

 Hi everyone!

It's Acorn here.  I took over Mom's blog for a minute cuz I wanted to introduce you to my new friend, Butternut.  Actually, Mom says that's not really her name, but I thought it was cute!

Isn't she just the sweetest???

She's got a tiny bit of stitching showing at the top of her foot...  I think she must have tripped on something, but Mom says it's a birthmark.

Mom says that she's up for adoption.  I think that means that she's going to go live at someone else's house.  She said to let everyone know that she's available for $25.00 plus shipping.  Do you think if I raise the price a little (like, say, $250.00???) she could live with me forever???  Sigh.  If you adopt her, will you post pictures every once in awhile so I can see her??  Pretty please???

Here's her birth info...

Birthday:  August 20th, 2013

- Smokey Long Pile golden brown fur fabric 

- Ultrasuede footpads 

- Black Onyx bead eyes 

- Polyester stuffing and steel shot for weight 

- Silk ribbon

Just remember that she's NOT a toy.  She's a mini artist bear like me.  That's why I'm always in Mom's stitching pictures.  Cuz I'm an artist... see???? 

Here we are again, together.  You can let Mom know if you'd like to adopt Butternut, just please, please, please take care of her good forever, okay??  Okay.  I feel better now.

TTFN!

Another Finish!

Hello friends!  Happy day after the 4th of July!!

I was THRILLED to be able to sit and stitch the other day without my shoulder hurting and I was finally able to finish my LHN Courage Sheep.  Yay!!  Here's the final product...

I wasn't quite ready to start the next one in the series, so I pulled out my Yesterday, Today, Forever piece to stitch on while I watched old movies last night.  Here's Acorn helping again.  I'm not sure he's quite ready for 2 over 1 stitching... hmmm...

In other news... let's see...  I sent out an exchange to DJ... but forgot to take a picture. And I signed up for this giveaway.  (I'd love to stitch a number of these!!)

So -- how are you doing on your stitching goals?  You know -- the ones you set at the beginning of the year!  I looked at my page today and updated it.  Now I need to update my finishes page, too.  I think I'm at 11 for the year, and I'm good with that since I've had a number of weeks I wasn't able to stitch.  

My plans this month?

* Finish Yesterday, Today, Forever

* Stitch a "Christmas in July" Christmas ornament

That's it.  I might start something new.  I might work on something old.  I might even go shopping and buy a new pattern!  But those two things are the top of the list.

Talk to you soon!

A Wonderful Exchange!

Hello friends!  I've been a busy girl lately and I haven't even taken time to show you the wonderful 4th of July exchange that I received from DJ!!! 

Isn't it fun??

She sent me TWO things!  I'm spoiled rotten. :)  A cube and stocking - and I didn't have one of either of those two finishes!! :)

Here they are...

I had to snap a picture quick of Acorn trying to fit in the stocking. 

 That's why it's blurry...

BTW, DJ, yours is going to the post office this morning!! :)

So.... would you like to see my little bit of stitching for the month?  

Yup, that's it.  My shoulders haven't let me do much... but something is better than nothing, right???  And it is pretty! : )

All right, back to work for me!  Thanks for stopping by and leaving sweet comments.  You make my day ( and Acorn is getting conceited hearing so many nice things about himself!! LOL!! )

Happy Monday!

Tricia

Finally!

I have a finish!  Yippee!! : )  This one seems like a HUGE accomplishment, because I started it last February.  Acorn wanted to hold it...

Silver Creek Samplers

I finished the stitching on my exchange piece, too, but I can't show that yet.

In the mornings after I read my Bible I've been stitching on the "Courage" sheep virtues chart.  I caught Acorn trying to put in a stitch when he thought I wasn't watching...

Oops!  She caught me!!  Hi Mom!!

So... my WIP in progress right now is Yesterday, Today, Forever.  I got a good bit done on it yesterday evening.  I'm thrilled to get some of these pieces finished that have been on my list for awhile.  I love starting new projects, but after awhile it really starts to weigh on my conscience if I don't finish them. : )  

Thanks for stopping by!!
