Stitching again

Hello my friends,

A new Mystery with `The Country Yard`.

`Whimsical Woodland`

`Bear` month 1.

Completed.

A tape measure came in with this kit of  fabric and threads.

My birthday last month my hubby gave me

Willow Tree Angel

`Wisdom`

for my collection. 

One of our daughters gave me these for gifts.

Some lovely things and of course fabric.

The cat fabric is in process of being made into 

a project bag.

These two pieces are for my 

`Farmhouse Christmas` stitching,

as a project bag.

I am looking for some trim to complete this.

Well best get on as finding I am on slow motion,

so things take longer to do.

Happy Stitching.

Clare.

7 days ago

Hello my friends.

Last Monday(7 days ago) my Mom

went to be with Jesus.

This bouquet was on our door step when we came home.

Our youngest grandson`s family sent them.

  

My Mum as a young lady.

Flowers from my friend Susan and her hubby.

They where delivered to Cresswood where Mum`s 

funeral was held.

One of the many beautiful rose buds.

Plus these,the petals are amazing.

The photo`s shown where a lovely way to celebrate her life.

After placing rose petals (her favourite flower) on her coffin,

we let balloons go.

A lovely send off.

I found this part hard,many tears.

Mum had brain cancer so is out of pain now.

In friendship,

Clare.

Some time stitching.

Hello my friends.

Once home from visiting my Mum.

She`s on the next stage of medications with a new

Dr who visits he daily at the moment.

Her other Dr did not !!

These two are playing up. 

Peanut on the chair started this game and now Tillies trying to get back. :)

I stitched one small area of 

`Random Thoughts`.

That was all I stitched for Friday Night stitching.

I have over this last few weeks stitched and made up my

`Circle of Friends`

project.

A wheat bag came with this design.

`Be My Friend` by The Scarlett House.

The ric rac with design was enclosed with the seam in their photo.

I decided to attach with elongated cross stitch

stitched with left over of WDWs Grasshopper.

I also stitched one over two when stitching. 

The love heart and pin where attached to wheat bag

and as suggested removed to here. 

I saw on Flosstube  `Primitive Stitcher` 

showing how to make these project bags.

I have made five up till now,two given away as gifts.

So enjoying these one`s.

I have a few more waiting to be made up but either need suitable 

lining fabric or trim.

Happy Stitching,

Clare. 

Some Stitching done.

Hello my Friends.

A belated `Happy New Year`!

With family over Christmas ,New Year

and my Mum now in a home who is declining.

Things have been a bit much for me so this blog has been put on hold.

Some stitching has been done though. 

The one over one stitching verse in 

`Random Thoughts`.

I`m trying to do this project each week but as we go to see my Mum 

every 2nd night I come home too tired to stitch this on the Friday

we go there.

Started `Feliz Navidad` by BBD.

Sometimes a new start helps!!

I am stitch in the `Circle of Friends` with the Silver Needle.

So liked this design by `The Scarlett House.

So have stitched quite a lot of it.

So pleased to have blogged even at the end of January.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

SSCS

Merry Christmas my friends.

Mum has been having seizure`s lately

but the times we have seen her she has been 

able to visit with us.

Mum was to have lunch with one of my sister`s families.

I have not heard anything so she must be having a good day today.

My SSCS  gift was a lovely table runner
 ( found this has a hanger so can be used for a wall hanger)
 of tree`s with snowman buttons,

3 lovely charms and a little wooden box of 36

wooden figures.

Martine has stitched beautiful leaves round the first border .

Thank you Chookyblue for organising this lovely 

Christmas swap again this year.

Also to Martine from Belgium.

I pray everyone enjoys this Christmas holiday.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Sleigh came by.

Hello my friends.

The SSCS sleigh came by my letter box today.

Lovely parcels. I have been truly spoilt,by my partner

Martine.

Thank you so much.

A thank you to Chookyblue for setting this swap up for us. 

With this snowman ornament. 

So adorable.

With my Mum so unwell but quite happy to see us,

I am behind on quite a few things at the moment.

So these gifts made a smile come my way. 

Happy Stitching,

Clare.

Stitching last Friday night.

Hello my friends.

It has been a while since my last post.

Hubby and I had five weeks visiting with friends in USA.

Plus a weekend in Canada.

I will show over the next few weeks or so where we went. 

My Mum wasn`t well a few days after coming home so 

stayed with her as carer for 9 days while other family had work 

and their family needs.

Soon after that we had carers coming morning and late afternoon,

with meals on wheels for lunch.

Short story she ended up in hospital and had CT scan showing 

she has cancer in her brain.

I`m finding this hard to write this,as this Christmas is her last.

Now before I get choked up, my stitching from 

last Friday night.

White work row,hearts and letters N and O.

The other side P and Q with owl.

Progress on `Random Thought`s `

bellpull a SAL with Elizabeth of Paisley Post.

I was so pleased my teapot house travelled home safely.

It was packed a box and put in my cabin luggage.

We did so enjoy our trip.

I have a few things to sort but hope to get those

organised soon plus joined Chookyblues SSCS again this year.

That`s nearly ready to post.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
