While I’m anxious for Spring I’ve been working on Winter Wonderland, a freebie from Primrose Cottage.

For March I plan to work on the lower left area next.

After frogging several rows of the peacock; I was able to restitch and make some progress on Peacock Pincushion. I still need for stitch some more feathers and fill the others. Hope to finish this in March.

I didn’t meet my February goal for Put a Bird On It or The Watergarden. I will need to put in quite a few stitches to catch up. 

My new start was Quiet Strength, Keslyn’s. I picked this pattern up when I visited Acorns and Threads back in August. 

 

I’m working her on 40ct white with the called for DMC.

October

I had a chance to shop in a physical store in October. While visiting a friend in San Antonio we went to Comfort, TX to visit The Tinsmith's Wife.

Knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, and  punch needle are some of the craft supplies carried at the store. There are also lots of models for inspiration and an area for classes. If you are in the area it's well worth the visit.

 Along with my Mill Hill cats and beaded Jack from last post I managed two more finishes. I finished Autumn Row by Bent Creek and Pumpkin Row by October House Fiber Arts. I'm not sure how I will finish Autumn Row; must likely some type of framing. Pumpkin Row will be finished as a skinny mini pillow.
