April in Review
I'm starting to slow down a bit now that Spring is here. There's just so many outside things to do. Still, I was able to get a lot of projects done in

I wrapped up a couple of projects form the stitching retreat I went to at the end of March:




Then I started one of the projects from the stash I brought in during the event - not that I didn't have other stuff to finish ;-):


The April edition of the Quaker Squares was next on the agenda:


My dog club has an agility event each year and gives out stitched awards to the breed winners. I was tapped into service for a few of those:


My favorite finish of the month was the Puppy Dog Row project I've been meaning to work on for a while:


Finally, I whipped out a little project with some left over supplies:


I also finished a baby sampler for some friends of mine, but I don't want to post the picture until they've received it. I'm hoping to finish it as a pillow this weekend.

I've got a few WIPs that I'm actively working on. I should be able to finish the Kitty Cat Row tonight. I just need to pick up a bit of floss I ran out of:


I'm also back to working on DH's X-mas stocking:


I've got a couple other little ones that are floating in and out as I'm in the mood. I'm looking forward to the Stitching Olympics so I can use it as an excuse to get back onto the St Petersburg Châtelaine project.

Stitch on!

I love them all!

I'm just the opposite, its gotten HOT here and I've never dealt with heat well to begin with and now that I'm pregnant, it KILLS me. So needless to say, my stitching is increasing. lol

Ooh congratulations! Good luck with the heat. I was a July baby and my mom said she was hoping for a preemie because it was a hot summer. Being who I am I came 2 weeks late just to stick it to her ;-).

Thanks! haha I'll need all the luck I can get. In MD, it not only gets HOT but its gets really humid too. So its a double whammy.

lol My kid will probably be the same way. Stubborn like her mama.

Well done with all the finishes. :-) I love the puppy dog row, the Christmas stocking and the daisy and stitches garden hearts. They all look gorgeous, thanks for sharing.
