Pumpkin Patch Happy Dance

Sorry, I haven’t been updating much lately. I do have a counted canvas happy dance to share. It’s called Pumpkin Patch. It’s a design by Margaret Bendig who is a local teacher. It’s stitched on 18-count mono canvas using a variety of fibers. The bat button is from Just Another Button Company (if memory serves).

You can’t really tell it in the photo, but the moon is stitched with a Kreinik #12 braid that actually glows in the dark. I really wish there was a good way for me to capture it in a photo. It looks so cool!

I also just had to add a HUGE kudos to the women’s softball team from the University of Tennessee. For the third straight year, our Lady Vols are headed to the Women’s College World Series!!

Well, that’s it for now. Happy stitching!

I didn’t make it to my Weight Watchers meeting today due to another commitment, so I don’t have a weigh in update for this week. I should be able to make it next Saturday, so I’ll give my next challenge update then.

Friends

This is the first page that I created from scratch. It’s just a random page I created in honor of the best friends a girl could ask to have.
