January almost gone

Looks like we have a chance of freezing rain today. Absolutely my least favorite type of weather forecast. I had to laugh, my daughter and her friend were puzzling over the icon on the weather app for today. The picture I took below is rather fuzzy, but the girls determined it was light bulbs sprouting from the ground, so their thought was today's weather would be very interesting. LOL.


I have been reading your blogs full of stitching inspirations. I am still working on 'baby it's cold outside'. Progress is being made. Although I have probably ripped more on this piece than others in recent memory.... I went over to a friends house last night for a color consultation. I started the green diamonds in the border, but was not happy at all with my choice of floss color. She agreed, so out it came. I don't have enough of the crescent colors spinach to stitch the border, so I am just matching some dmc for the border diamonds. This piece just needs the border and the snowflakes and then it will be done.



I have been thinking about Spring, I have a couple of Spring themed pieces I would like to stitch this year, so I may start one of them next.




I have had this chart for a long time. So I have been thinking maybe this year I will do it. I already have the linen ready for it as well. So, that moves it up even higher in the possibility list.

I have thought about some valentine starts as well....







The birds of a feather isn't really a valentine type piece, but I have liked this one for a long time.


But this birds of a feather piece is valentine themed. Our wedding anniversary in in February. So, I may stitch this up and so some personalization for that. The little couple on the chart are funny...don't resemble Mike and me at all.

The family is stirring around here. I will have to give some thought about cooking later.

Hopefully the freezing rain event won't be anything major. I know if it is, I will elect to stay inside and stitch the day away.

Hope you all enjoy your Sunday, doing something fun!

Happy stitching.

  3. I started Baby It's Cold Outside on the recommended 36 ct Ale and I just could not do it. Was making a lot of mistakes. I have used 35 ct and so I thought 36 count would not be much different. The eyes just can't see that well anymore, even with cheater glasses. I am going to start over on a 32 count fabric. I was wondering what count your stitching yours on?

    Have a great Sunday,

  6. I love your Baby, It's Cold Outside! Nice choices for your next WIPs, too. I'm always partial to BOAF designs. I just wish they were still designing.

  7. I do hope you're getting this mid-week heat-wave like we are, Melody--what a strange January it has been weatherwise!!

    Baby, It's Cold Outside is so cute--sorry the frog has been an unwelcome visitor! Hope he's moved on now...just not to my house :)

    Lots of fun upcoming projects await you--love them all!
