I got a little distracted this past month. I was browsing and came across the crocheted hen and a lot of pictures of tatted eggs. It started with the red egg, then I found the pattern used on the blue egg. The blue egg turned out to be a lot bigger than I expected. I was almost through with the first half when I looked at the instructions again and realized that the thread used in the model was size 80 and I had used a size 20 thread. Luckily I was able to find a paper-mache egg that it could fit. Now I'm working on one in the size 80 thread, it should be ready by next Easter. 

Aside from the pin cube that was in my last post the only stitching that I can report on is this below.

May is Pinned

Hi All, I haven't got much to show this month. I have been working on pre-stitching for 2 upcoming classes. One will be this weekend, hope to share the in class project with you in my next post. The second class will be next month and I have a long way to go before I have anything worth sharing. I really need to get busy.

What I did manage to complete since my last post was this pincushion. 

It is a freebie from The Primitive Hare. I coffee dyed some fabric from my stash and stitched it with DMC 815. I used some Coats and Clark Button Craft thread for the blanket stitching. 

Thanks for stopping by,
