A Wedding Finish

The wedding piece is finished. No pictures yet. Have to get it framed and delivered. The wedding is just a few days away!
Now, back to the stockings for my family project. I've got a loooooong way to go on the second one.

Finishing a Finish

I actually finished this piece a few months ago. But it wasn't finished as in made ready for gifting. My sister's birthday was today, so it got finished. Here it is, as a pillow. Not sure if you can tell that it's a pillow, but here it is.

Getting There

It's always a struggle when I get to the point in a project when it's nearly finished, but not nearly finished. Know what I mean. I don't think this is going to be completed by the time the bride and groom walk down the aisle. It's less than a month away. But as long as it's finished before they celebrate their first anniversary, it's all good, right. I do want to get back to the stockings, so I need to really put my heart into this to finish it in time for the wedding. Right! Right!!!! Come on Sylvia, put the blog to bed and start stitching.

In Memory

For the three little boys who were so anticipated, so loved and now are missed by so many. I stitched this for you and then found out that you were not to be.

Beach Marriage

I am making steady progress on the wedding project. It isn't as fulfilling as the baby one, mostly because it's more abstract and there are not specific areas that I can call complete. One little wavy spot of sand in very limited color pallet. The verse has proven to be more challenging than I thought it would be.

Unhappy News

I am so sad.
I had finished the triplet's cross stitch last week. Now, today, I find out they are not to be.
I was really looking forward to giving this piece to Libbie and her family. But the pain of this loss must be unbearable for everyone. Her son and daughter in law are all the way in California and she can't just run over and hug them to try to make them feel better. Losing one baby is so hard. They've lost three.
I think I'll go ahead and post the piece in a few days. It is a completed project, after all.

Stitch, Stitch, Stitch

I've been so busy stitching that I've not had much time for blogging about it. I also can't put pictures out because of the possibility that someone might actually look at my blog. I don't think anybody does, because I have no followers, but you don't have to follow to check in now and then.
Anyway, I have two major projects. Triplets and a wedding. I'm working on the triplets now. I've made good progress and I can actually see the finish line, but it's still a long way off. I hope to finish it, so that I can at least make a good start on the wedding piece. The wedding takes place before the triplets are scheduled to arrive, but with babies you never know.
