Sneaking in Stitches

-
I work full time, and have a husband and two kids. So many times, I have to sneak my stitches in. Here are some interesting places I have had to get my stitches is.

First, I have to stitch early in the morning, or late at night when everyone is sleeping.


I also do alot of car stitching....


I stitch in restaurants.

I stitch on vacation....
I stitch by the pool.

I have even taught my little one how to squeeze in some stitches!


Where do you sneak in your stitches?

Hobby Lobby Haul

One of my February goals is to do a Fully Finished Object (FFO), or take a finished cross stitch piece and get it ready for display. I have decided to stitch the Chalkfull series by Priscilla Blain and Hands on Design, and I started with Boo.  I am going to try to finish mine like Priscilla's shown here. Her Flosstube this weekend inspired me to head to Hobby Lobby to find one of these frames: I also got some finishing material, sticky board, and white baskets for organization.  They were on sale, and who doesn't need more bsskets for organziation! As soon as I am done stitching Boo, I will try finishing my first piece!

I just finished up row 5 which are the irons. I even did the backstitching, which I had planned to save for the end. This pattern is just a joy to stitch. It's easy to read, well-chartted. And the pattern just makes sense. I highly recommend this one. It's a good evening-after-work stitch. I'm using Cloud 25 count lugana and the called for DMC floss. I really love this lugana. It is nice and soft, and the holes are easy to see. Then, my big committment for the month was to finish another part to my Spooky Hallow SAL ...
