A Stitching Grandma: April 2015
http://stitchinggrandmacathy.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Happy Dance - Kiri the Cat. Cross Stitch Card Shop #78. This was a free cover kit, but I substituted 14-count white Aida for the enclosed Aida. I used the enclosed floss, but ran out of the dark grey so finished up with 535. I also substituted regular cross stitches for the french knots. This is a square for Kyleigh's quilt. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Happy Dance - Stars. Cross Stitch Crazy #203. I used DMC 3844 and 14-count white Aida. Friday, April 24, 2015. Happy Dance - Stars.

A Stitching Grandma: December 2014
http://stitchinggrandmacathy.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Southern California has finally gotten a bit of rain recently, enough to remind us of all the leaks in the roof. David and Devin went up on the roof in early December which fixed several of the leaks, but we still had two left and the weather looked like rain, so David, Kyleigh and I went up on the roof to do some more patching today. Here is our little helper:. It was really cold up there! Monday, December 29, 2014. Fun in the trash can. Kyleigh also got to go to her daddy's ...

A Stitching Grandma: New Glasses
http://stitchinggrandmacathy.blogspot.com/2015/08/new-glasses.html
Saturday, August 8, 2015. Kyleigh's frames were about ready to fall apart so, since she'd bought the Protection Plan, Janice decided to get her a new pair. Kyleigh immediately found a pair of Elsa glasses that fortunately cost the same as her old ones. Since the frames were different, she also needed to get new lenses, which she needed anyway because the old ones were scratched. This first picture I took to show Kyleigh why they had her put on the funny glasses. (Sorry it's crooked.). A Day with Kyleigh.

A Stitching Grandma: March 2015
http://stitchinggrandmacathy.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2015. Temporarily Out of Commission. I'm sorry, but my computer crashed about a month ago, so I've been unable to post to my blog. In addition, we've been away from home for all but about one week so haven't been able to do much about it. My husband has finally convinced himself that the hard drive is toast and that I need a new computer so hopefully I'll be back online in the next week or too. Saturday, March 14, 2015. Happy Dance - Spring Friends. Cross Stitch Card Shop #95.

A Stitching Grandma: Joined another SAL
http://stitchinggrandmacathy.blogspot.com/2015/08/joined-another-sal.html
Monday, August 17, 2015. This time I joined the Americana SAL, also hosted by Kaye. For this SAL you stitch on patriotic or Americana themed projects and report on your progress once a month. The link is on my sidebar. I have several UFOs that qualify as well as a few in my stash waiting to be stitched so I decided this would be a good SAL to join. My first project is Let Freedom Ring, a very old kit from Sunset. It was designed by Nancy Rossi from the Kooler Design Studio. Follow my blog with Bloglovin.

Saturday, February 21, 2015. Happy Dance - Daffodils. This is Daffodils, part of the Floral Fancies collection in the Cross Stitch Crazy Magazine #108 from February, 2008. It's stitched on 14-count white Aida with DMC floss. It's for the WOCS (World of Charity Stitching) flower quilt.

A Stitching Grandma: Happy Dance - Pirate Finger Puppets
http://stitchinggrandmacathy.blogspot.com/2015/08/happy-dance-pirate-finger-puppets.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Happy Dance - Pirate Finger Puppets. Cross Stitch Crazy #206. These were stitched on plastic canvas instead of the called for Aida. I've purchased the felt and craft sticks to make them into hand held puppets, but haven't gotten a chance to do it yet. I plan to send them to WOCS when complete to go in one of the bags for kids that they distribute at Christmas time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow my blog with Bloglovin.

A Stitching Grandma: Happy Dance - Bell for Card
http://stitchinggrandmacathy.blogspot.com/2015/08/happy-dance-bell-for-card.html
Saturday, August 15, 2015. Happy Dance - Bell for Card. World of Cross Stitching #144. This is stitched on 14-count white Aida with DMC floss. I used the colors called for, but I eliminated the shading stitches so the bell, the leaves and the berries are stitched in one color instead of two. This will go to WOCS to be made into a Christmas card for an elderly resident in a nursing home back east. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow my blog with Bloglovin. View my complete profile.

A Stitching Grandma: August 2015
http://stitchinggrandmacathy.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2015. I did quite a bit of stitching this past week on two projects. The first is the CT Ballerina that I'm doing for Quilts for Older Children and Adults. I set it aside on Thursday to start working on my project for the Americana SAL. I'm working on an old UFO titled Let the Freedom Ring. In both cases the second picture has the truer colors. First day of 2nd Grade. Saturday, August 29, 2015. Happy Birthday, Janice! Tuesday, August 25, 2015. A Day with Kyleigh. Afterwards, we went to...
