Little Progress in cross stitching

I've been working and running too much to do much cross stitching and I haven't worked on my afghan either. I how ever did finish the Patriotic Stocking and Coffee Crazy!

 Woohoo 2 finishes since my last post.

I don't have a picture of Coffee Crazy on my camera or computer. I'll need to retake it for next time

I also been looking for Monk's cloth and still can't find it local anywhere. Any Ideas??? I've looked on Etsy which brings me to my next picture. I bought some huck material thinking I could make an afghan on it but found that it wasn't cut straight and the weave seems to be off for some reason. I had to take a few inches off each side hoping to get it straight. I have come to the conclusion that I can  make place mats with it. I feel if I tried to make an afghan it would look crooked. I cut it in half and am using half of it for placemats....

I've made little progress on Stocking #1 and my last stocking that I'll be stitching for a while. I'll be moving on to a large project sometime in maybe July or August more than likely August since I'm not starting another large project until this stocking is done. 1 more animal to go after I finish the antlers and then finish the vine to the left...

Let me know if you come across any Monk's Cloth for a low price. I don't want to pay inflated prices on EBay or any price that looks outrageous. Send me an email with links and info. I would very much appreciate it :)

Until Next Time....

Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles...xxx

Apologies for not posting much.

Due to some unsavory comments(removed) left on some of my posts,I am now having to moderate comments. My deepest apologies to my followers but I have no way of blocking them when they have a blogger profile. I am working to find a way to stop these ******* ( not so nice word due to being really upset!!!)from making any comments and posting in those comments some VERY UNWELCOMED links.
Please be patient with me as I deal with all this.



Work, Life, Errands = very little stitching and time to do much of anything. Life gets in the way quite often here.

I do have another finish. This one is Stocking #2 Celtic Christmas

Yes it's actually finished. It was to be stitched this way by choice. 

Another hobby I have recently found and trying is Swedish Weaving. My Mom had given me some embroidery books and in the pile she gave me was one from  the American School of Needlework ©2000 by Marilyn T. Magly.

Titled : Learn to make Monk's Cloth Afghans

I have just enough Monk's cloth to make 2 and the first one I started on is Ocean Waves. I'm using Black and Violet with this one. I'll show the other one once I start it after finishing this current one.

I am still cross stitching but not as much as I would like and hoping to get back to it.
