Hi everyone,
It's time to share today's challenge.


Day 2: New Start
Chart...Fabric.. Threads...

Picked out fabric...Didn't have the amber/toasted almond.. so picked out a piece of 32ct PTP Belfast ginderbread

Started to stitch one of the pumpkins using the called for blended threads... Ugh.. can't see it...

Had to rip it out.. will use fabric for another project..






Start again
Time to pick out New Fabric...



 This was much better

Stitch Count: 35x38, 2 over 2

Macey report:

Played indoor fetch with Macey before beginning...Here she is when I was stitching...surrounded by her toys.

The minute I turned off my light, she was raring to go for another game of fetch, and a nice afternoon walk.


Until next time,
Have a wonderful day!

Witchy Stitchy Challenge Day 1

Hi everyone,
It's time to share today's challenge...






Day 1: 10/19/2019
New Start..Before















Now:



Nevermore [Snippet #S120] © 2015 LizzieKate
Fabric: 32ct Lugana Poltergeist by Silkweaver
Threads: WDW
Stitch Count: 58 x 35, 2 over 2
Cross Stitch

That's all the onyx thread I have left... so this will be put aside until my order comes in with another skein.





Macey report:



Macey took awhile to settle down... kept bring me her fetch toys to get me on the floor with her... got distracted by her antics and had a thread tangle on the back by the 31.

Ugh!
So I ripped out those stitches.

Then she tried nosing my lap when time was almost up so I mis-counted on the outline of the bird belly. She settled down and didn't seem to mind so I ripped out those stitches and finished the bird.

Macey's reward?

Well her chewy.com box arrived today.. food, treats...and 2 New Toys! 



One is a super squeaker and the other is a silent squeaker. She likes them both!



Until next time,
Have a wonderful day!
