Completed Grass and stitching update

Our yard is completed with Kentucky Bluegrass! Looks great right? The sandy area around the play set will actually become a sandbox. We have to build the dog run which is in the far corner there before DH can complete the play area/sandbox. You can see some of our garden area which is full of weeds lol. We are going to redo them next year as we hate the plants there now.

And here is my BrittyKitty design so far. 

And i don't know if you can see him but on the left side of the pole on the fence is a black squirrel. He comes and visits our yard every morning. :-)

Grass and a pumpkin update

Here is my kitty as of last night. I already know I want to finish it like the one in the picture but different fabric of course. :)

Finally our grass was delivered and DH has been busting his butt getting it put in just right! After he got about half of the yard done yesterday the girls and the boys just couldn't resist and had to go play in it!

Today he is installing more of it and then tomorrow it will be finished off. Its called Kentucky bluegrass which stays green all year long! Yes you see Zeus with his leash on as the truck that delivered the grass couldnt fit through our double gates so the 2 1/2 pallets were left in the open doorway! Zeus had to be put on a leash or he would have run for it lol. Duke is my good boy and stays by my side mainly as he is a momma's boy. Well i'm off to make dinner and then i'm going to try and finish my pumpkin piece. :-)

New Halloween ornament and Manzo

First my sleepy kitty. Manzo has been picking this spot in my bedroom to sleep every afternoon. So cute!

Here is my choice for my 2nd Great pumpkin challenge. Been a little slow these last few days as I have been getting my housework done lol. But also we have been preparing the backyard because grass is being delivered tomorrow morning! WOOHOO! 

Britty Christmas Kitty

Britty Christmas Kitty by Brittercup Designs

32 count Belfast Opalescent

DMC Floss and Mill Hill beads

1 3/4 in x 1 3/4 in

November 10, 2007

Finished up this one too today. I wanted to post it up before I go to bed for the night. I am really enjoying these quick little finishes anfter working on the same design for 5 weeks. I decided not to stitch in the ornaments and star on the tree and also the heart on the kitty so I did them all up in beads to give it a little more pop effect. Both my girls are trying to claim this one and my youngest DD ran and got Ruby our cat to show her, she said 'look its you!' LOL I had to laugh, my little 2 year old still says te cutest things. :)

Also I realized I never posted a photo of the sweater I made for my new little kindergartener so here it is:

Kaleidescope Kids sweater

Red Heart Plum Pudding Yarn

Completed Semptember 02, 2007

I think this only took me 2 or 3 weeks to complete and I used little multi colored daisy flower buttons. Now I owe my youngest DD one too, just not sure when I will get time to make it. :)

Birthday gifts, exchanges and a new finish!

First of all I have to say a HUGE thanks to Jenna and Michelle.

Yesterday I received a gift certificate from Michelle for Down Sunshine Lane. I was thrilled and heres what I got:

Romance In Bloom by dragonfly stitchersAnd San Man's Winter square. I also bought some beads and some Krienik floss and some beading needles since mine are too big for the beads I have. Again Thanks a ton Michelle! Its okay that you didn''t get a chance to send something stitchy. :)

And Jenna had my name for the xmas/bday club. She heard I really wasn't doing much of anything for my bday so she sent me 2 packages full of wonderful gifts:

Notice anything? Look at what she stitched. That's Right! Its part of the set I ordered last night! LOL She made a sachet, scissor fob with scissors, Altoid tin made up beautifully, and a biscournu. The scissor fob she stitched over one on some very tiny count, maybe 32 or higher. She also included 3 hand towels to stitch on, 4 fat quarters, some awesome cross stitch fabrics from silkweaver, some french cards with a matching journal. And a bunch of floss, which Jenna I can tell I didn't have. Theres some DMC including a Precious Metal effects, The Gentle Art threads a couple of carries creations, and some six strand sweets. I feel so spoiled these last two days. THANK YOU SO MUCH JENNA!!!!

And now onto stitchy finishes, I completed the second and final picture for my older sisters bday, now thy both needed washing, ironing and framing which I will get done this week.

Sorry for the dark picture. This fabric really is much lighter.

Also since my partner for the May Flowers Exchange flopped on me and didn't send, Judith who was running the exchange was oh so sweet as to send me a replacement, which I recieved the other day. Its just beautiful and I plan to fill it with lavender.

Thank you Judith!

DMC Floss

5x7 inches

Well, this was a quick finish. It only took me a little bit of last night and today. It was so much fun, I think I will do another for her too. This will fit into a 5 inches x 7 inches frame. I also completed the finishing for my monchromatic exchange but don't want to post pictures since I don't know if my partner reads this so as soon as she receives it I'll post piccies!

Britty Kitties

Okay so I have finished the stitching on my monochromatic exchange. I just got into this groove last night and kept going till I was done. So tonight I will do the finishing and package it up. And since my older sisters bday is September 11th and she loves cats I decided to make my next project her bday gift. Its the top one in the frame:
