It's IHSW!

Well, it's the third weekend in December and the last IHSW for 2014 is on! What am I talking about?

International Hermit and Stitch Weekend.

Take time for yourself in the middle of all the hustle and bustle and put some stitches in a project. And when it's all over, go check out the rest of the participants. You'll see some fantastic projects and find some great blogs.

Check out Random Ramblings to sign up and read all about it.

It's WIP Wednesday!

How did we get here again so fast? This week I'm working on a hooded bath towel.

The pattern seemed appropriate for a baby born in a fishing community like Prince Rupert.

It's a fun stitch and it shouldn't take me too long to finish it.

And It's Done!

Finished the bib last night. Bring on the baby shower!

It's a Charlescraft pre-finished bib with 14 count Aida insert.

The pattern came with the bib.

Getting In On WIP Wednesday

I've been working on a bib - my craft partner was supposed to become a first time grandma this weekend, but he decided to show up last night - so I need to get cracking! Here's where I am:

There's one more elephant - green one - to go on the left with another heart and 2 more stars.

And some back stitching.

What Do You On A Cold and Snowy Evening?

Well, if you're one of my cats, you nap or do a little washing up. Near a heater of course.

What do you do?

Stocking

Just finished the stocking I've been stitching for a friend for her newest grandchild.

Sorry for the wrinkles, but it's just out of the hoop. It's a cute design, but it has French knots in the middle of nowhere, so I have long lengths of floss across the back. Why do designers do that?

Now to work on a couple of things for a baby shower in a couple of weeks - if the baby is on time!

Snow!

Well, it's our first snow fall for Winter 2014. This is what greeted me this morning:

and it's still coming down.

Believe it or not, there is a harbour beyond those power lines! On the positive side, it's warmer today than it has been the last few days when it was sunny.
