Stitching Update

I am plugging along when I can on my Santa.


The pictures are a little dark as I took them last night. I have some outlining, antlers, nose, and some French knots in a few places. I plan to redo his face. I used the suggested colors but it is so orangey. Other than the Santa, the colors are muted in this piece, so I think I am going to tone down the face.

My sweet friend Arlene from Nanaland sent me this wonderful bag to corral my supplies. I was so excited to open my package and find this. She purchased it on Etsy. I LOVE it!!!!


It also holds your loose threads.


Another busy day. Mother has an early orthopedic appointment and Lemony, the Golden is sick. She started throwing up yesterday and isn't eating or drinking. I called the vet and got some nausea medicine yesterday, but she is going in to see him today. My girl needs to be ok.

Better days are coming,
Sandy

    1. I love the fold over bag to hold my stitching stuff. Arlene and I met through blogging and now we meet each other in person each September.

  2. I agree about the Santa's face. For some reason the Prairie Schooler Santas are very ruddy as well. I do to like that. He may be fat but he doesn't need a red face.lol Sorry to hear Lemony is sick...I know it is NOT what you need right now. So glad you like the Bitsy Bob. I really liked that design with the spools on it. Hope things calm down and you can enjoy your weekend.

    1. Lemony is much better this morning. I have talked to the vet as well. Not sure what got her but she was a sick girl yesterday. Hoping to pull out the face and finish him tonight. Then I want to do finish the church ornament that I started last year.

  4. A lovely gift from your friend Arlene! Perfect fabric and so handy to have. I agree, Santa looks like he just came in from the cold, he could use a toning down. I hope it's nothing serious with Lemony. Good luck with your Mom's appt. You are a busy lady!

    1. I totally agree with your assessment of his face. Lemony is better. I will share more tomorrow and yes, I have been way to busy as of late. Ready to settle down a bit.

  5. I've been out of town and am just now catching up with blog-reading, Sandy. Sure sounds like you have your hands full with your mom and your Lemony. I'm glad you have your stitching to help relieve some of that stress... Your Santa is very cute and I love the gift from Arlene! Hang in there and know that tomorrow is a new day :)

    1. Good to hear from you again. I hope you have been having fun. I am quite sure your kitchen is darling. You still need to share more that home featured in BHG. Mother and Lemony are doing better. I don't know about Mom long term, but you can't change aging.
