<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I hope everyone had a safe enjoyable 4th of July. We spent the evening at the race track, which has a spectacular fireworks show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My framer called and said my pieces were ready to be picked up so I rushed right in and here are the results.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Cinderella Sampler</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have loved this sampler from the first time I saw it. Although I like the finished results, I wish I'd used lighter fabric. The motifs seem to get lost in the fabric. Regardless, it might be one of my favorites I've stitched.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Just in time for the 4th. This one turned out super cute and love the frame.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now.....to the compliment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I go the pick up my pieces at the framer he always unwraps them and shows them to me. I stand there like a kid on Christmas morning anxiously waiting to see them. He opened the Cinderella Sampler, we oooh'd and awww'd over it. He opened Liberty, we oooh'd and awww'd over it. He opened The Birds and the Bees and I'm sure this funny look came over my face. He immediately turned it around so he could see and earnestly asked, is there something wrong with it? I stammered and ummmmm'd a couple of times and then said, "You've framed with the back facing forward." He was mortified and apologized over and over. I assured him it was no problem and he promised to have it ready the next day. As I was telling my husband about this he had the "Yes, honey I'm listening but what?...." look on his face. I tried to explain to him the fact that my back was so nice that he thought it was the front was actually a compliment. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although I try to be neat I don't obsess over the back of my stitched piece but I thought this was a funny story and one I'm sure to remember for a long time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the result of the correctly framed Birds and Bees.</span></div>

In 2010 I created a facebook page for Nan's Needlework Notions and didn't do a thing with it. <br />
I have resurrected my efforts so hop on over to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nans-Needlework-Notions/100919859962590">my facebook page</a>.<br />
<br />
This school year is coming to an end, only 4 more kid days (not that I'm counting :). Looking forward to some extra stitching time this summer and a long awaited vacation with my hubby. <br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by and your kind words. <br />
<br />
Keep on stitchin'<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is hard to believe May is here and it has been so long since I've updated my blog. Thanks for sticking with me during my absence. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During Spring Break my friend <a href="http://everybodylovesclark.blogspot.com/">Marsha</a> and I made the 10 hour drive to Minnesota to mark a shop off our bucket list. We visited Stitchville USA and it was definitely worth the drive. I was so busy shopping I didn't take many pictures but I did get a few of the shop. Their website boast 4,200 square feet of cross stitch heaven and over 1,000 framed models. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They did not disappoint. Marsha and I walked around for nearly an hour with our mouths agape. Then we got down to business. In all, I think we spent about 8 hours (with a quick break for lunch) wondering around admiring the models, enjoying the wall of fabric and filling our baskets with goodies to take home. </span><br />

<br />
I trust you all had a great Christmas and Happy New Year. Ours was quiet and uneventful...just the way I like it. It was so fun to watch my granddaughter and great niece enjoy Christmas this year. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I feel like I have stitched quite a bit. Reflecting back I wondered where all that stitching time went. I didn't have a huge amount of finishes but feel like I should have tons finished. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I started looking through my WIPS. 2013 was the year of the BAP.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For years I would stay clear of anything big, preferring to stitch small pieces that I could quickly finish. Now, I have so many big pieces started I'll never finish them all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Start....that is the key word. I LOVE to start pieces. Every time I go to a retreat or visit a shop I can't help myself. I see so many things I <u>have to</u> stitch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is just a sampling of some of the pieces I started this year.</div>

It is hard to believe another year is in the books. Although I don't make stitching resolutions or goals, this year (2014) is going to be the year of the WIPs. Maybe one or two of the above will actually become a finish this year. Thank you for your kind words and friendship, not only last year, but for all the years to come. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thoroughly enjoyed stitching this sampler. I was a little leery of stitching it on 28 ct. linen with wool fibers. <u><strong>My official report</strong></u> is I love stitching with wool. I want to stitch everything on 28 ct. with a wool conversion. I beg Gentle Arts to make all their colors in wool so I can convert other patterns I want to stitch to wool. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A bit passionate, you say? If you haven't tried wool I highly recommend it. I used a shorter length than I normally would with cotton and a bigger needle to cut down on friction but all in all I really didn't notice the wool fraying. I LOVE WOOL! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All pet lovers out there know how heartbreaking this can be. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stitched a little memorial for her and plan to give it to her tomorrow. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As summer winds down and school is in full swing, I long for the days of endless stitching and completed projects. I did a lot of stitching this summer. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I have been working on starting a lot of designs, and well, I've started a lot of designs. ;)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did manage to finish 3 frame worthy pieces this summer. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I picked them up from the framer this afternoon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am so please with how they turned out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope this finds everyone well and finding time to stitch. I have been busy finishing the school year but have found some time to stitch and finish a couple of patriotic designs. I love stitching for the 4th of July. I found the wire tree pictured below at a lawn and garden show a couple of weeks ago. I knew it had to come home with me. It looks a little bare but I have a few more patriotic designs to finish that will hang proudly on the branches. I also found some cute patriotic ornaments at Hobby Lobby to help fill in the empty spaces.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've also been keeping up with my Santa's Village. I love the piece but am a bit tired of stitching houses. I'm motivated to keep up with it so hopefully I'll be able to stay on track.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope your summer is shaping up to be a good one. In a few weeks I'm off on a shop hop with a dear friend who will be visiting. We plan to hit several shops around the Chicago area. Look out, here we come. I don't have any other plans this summer besides stitching and getting this house in order.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Thank you for the kind comments on my last post. I love hearing from you and appreciate you stopping by. The weather has been crummy this week so I've spent most of my time at home stitching. We are stuck in a pattern of 2 gorgeous days in the mid 70's and the rest of the week in the 50's with rain. This coming week will be the same. That means more stitching time for me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Today brought a finish to LHN's Needleworker. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This design stitched up quickly and I loved every X. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greetings Friends,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spring Break has provided some time to de-stash. I would like to offer these patterns and kits to my blogging friends before trying the ebay route. Shipping is $1 for the first pattern and .50 for each additional pattern added. Please email me at dianealtemeyer @ gmail.com (email is also in my sidebar) with the patterns you would like and I'll send you a paypal request. I'll update the page by removing patterns that are spoken for.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you so much for taking a look. Although it is hard to part with my stitching stash, I hope these patterns will find a new home with someone who will enjoy stitching them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">It's official...as of 4:00 p.m. this afternoon I am on Spring Break. It is supposed to snow Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Although I have nothing major planned, I am thoroughly over the cold, snow and wind. I'm ready to stick my toes in the sand and feel the sun on my face. I guess the wintry weather will give me an excuse to stay in and stitch. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started this deer piece about ten years ago for my husband. I quickly grew tired of the confetti stitching and put it down. Over the course of the last 10 years my hubby would make a reference to it on occasion. He was extremely surprised when it made it's debut on our anniversary this week. I love the barn wood frame. He says he's not sure what he is going to give me a hard time about now that I have completed the deer piece for him.</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">For years I've only stitched small pieces. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been a busy week before Christmas. We had a bit of winter weather on Friday morning which cancelled school. I ran into several parents who said their kids cried when they found out school was cancelled. Of course, Christmas parties were scheduled for Friday. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has also been a busy week for deliveries. </span><a href="http://blacksheepsite.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Edgar</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> was my exchange partner this year in the</span><a href="http://stitchingfriendsthroughseasons.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Friends Stitching Through the Seasons</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> exchange. Here is a snap of what he sent. I apologize if my pictures are missing a few items. I dismantled the box before I got pictures. :-) Thanks for a great year of packages Edgar.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The weather here is finally cold and I saw a few snow flurries this afternoon. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although I dislike cold weather I do think it makes it feel a little more like Christmas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is hard to believe October is already here. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time is flying and I've been in a Halloween mood for stitching. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This weekend brings our city's annual Oktoberfest. I'm looking forward to the unlimited supply of fried food and catching up with friends I only see visiting the Oktoberfest.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">October also brings one of my favorite holidays. HALLOWEEN!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finished BBD's Trix or Treat. This was a fast, fun stitch. I think I'll have this one framed.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is hard to believe that I am over a month into my school year. Things are settling down and I am finding some time to stitch. My stitching A.D.D. has kicked in and I'm jumping from piece to piece. I've mainly been working on bigger pieces but did stitch a couple of exchanges that I'll be able to show you soon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finished Bent Creek's Halloween Branch in record time. Here it is framed and ready for the haunting season. I am sorry the pictures aren't great but the frame is perfectly spooky. The lines in the frame have a slight orange tint to them. I can't wait to start decorating for Halloween.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you all for your kind comments on my Frank N Boo finish. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finishing the WIP Frank N Boo motivated me to dig through the pile again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is what came out of the WIP basket this time. I started this piece months ago with the intent of putting the finished piece in my office at school. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is color outside of the lines finished and framed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just the splash of color my office needs.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a big Olympics fan. I've been glued to the t.v. all weekend. I'm not sure what it is that draws me to the games. I never watch volleyball, swimming, gymnastics, rowing or cycling but I've been captivated! Maybe it is the symbolism or the pride I have in my country. I hope one day in my lifetime the Olympics comes back to the U.S. That is one thing on my bucket list I have to do.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know many in blogland are happy the Olympic games are here. Many have been pondering their Olympics project for weeks. Until seeing this idea on blog posts it had never occurred to me that the Olympic games would be the perfect time to start a new project. So, not to be left out, I dug through my stash and came up with </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is my progress so far. I started Saturday morning. I have found that actually watching the Olympics distracts me from stitching.
