Go Colts/Esther

I had my worries there the Colts might not win. However, they prevailed and are off to the Superbowl. Congratulations Colts for being AFC Champs!

I finally have a finish in Esther. Whew! I was beginning to wonder if I would ever had any finishes. I got down to putting Esther's name on the design and didn't realize how difficult it is to stitch over 1 on 40ct. A new appreciation on my level to anyone that tackles this feat. I thought I was going to go crosseyed.
It is not a great picture since the sun doesn't want to stay out to long in Indiana. I changed the colors quite a bit to reds instead of peach.

I thought I would share a couple of other things I enjoy doing. Here is one of my hooked rugs - Mr. Snowman. I took a class off of Margo White a few years ago and this was the class project.

And needle punching. I like the frame so I stuck it in here until I can find something better. This design is by M.Shaw called Flower Basket. If you haven't tried needle punching you should give it a try. It eats a lot of thread but goes really fast.

I can't believe February will be here soon. My classes are just starting they are aren't as bad as last semester so hopefully I will have more time to stitch. Yay!

I saw a cute movie last weekend called Leap Year. It is a cute romantic movie. I really loved the Ireland scenery.

Until next time, happy stitching!
