Snitches Get Cross Stitches

Cross stitch project showing a lake with people enjoying the day.

Only 33 more pages to go! I love the dude playing the horn.

I'm having a love hate relationship with this right now. It is coming out nice.

That little boat was a pain in the ass.

Around 66,000

Cross stitch project based on a Van Gogh painting. There is a vase with poppies and daisies on a blue table and flowers on the walls.

This is the first big project I did based off paintings. This one took a couple years as I was mainly quilting at the time.

Made a bit of progress. All these people are a pain. Just like I'm real life.

My grandparents lived across the road from a Little League field. The crack of a bat is my favorite sound. Weirdly, I don't watch baseball.

Thanks

Yes

It's the biggest one I've done so far. There's fifty pages altogether.

I can tell page 17 is going to be a real booger.

I'm second guessing getting the super detailed pattern.

Garden with many plants. A plastic bouncy horse sits among the plants.

My sister and I got this bouncy horse as a gift when I was about 1. My parents have kept it for over 50 years.

Earlier this year part of the framing broke and couldn't be fixed. Instead of letting him throw it away, I had an idea.

I can't explain how tickled I am with Frank being in my garden.

I'll have to check it out. I'm still bummed I didn't see the original in theatre when it came out. My ex husband chose a different movie at the last minute. Still mad at him for that.

I've been wanting to watch this. Wasn't sure it's worth movie theatre prices. (Haven't been to a movie theatre since Jurassic World Dominion, which I enjoyed)

Flowers are blooming!

I have a feeling you're taking it over. Congrats!

There is one in Lansing that will ship within Michigan. I've never bought anything from them. I was going to this year, but a farm a couple miles away from me started selling native plants this year.

Rose bush with delicate pink roses.

Close up of two pink roses. A bumble bee is tucked inside one of the roses.

While I was watering plants this morning, I found some bees enjoying my native roses.

We have the AC on, a fan in each room, all the curtains shut and it's still unbearable in the house. It's so muggy, I may run to Menards for a dehumidifier.

I won't make you confess if I don't have to confirm how many half finished quilt projects I have.

This is my first SAL and I've kept up so far. I have a habit of forgetting stuff, so we'll see if I keep up.

Cross stitch project of A Sunday Afternoon on la Grande Jatte. Showing people at the park during the 1800s.

Another page done. Only 35 more to go!

Lawn with a flower garden. Yellow flowers starting to bloom.

Front garden is finally doing something besides grass and dandelions.

Little brown bunny rabbit in a weed filled garden.

Had a visitor in my garden this morning!

I was concerned that there was a nest because the dog goes out in the backyard, but the little guy hopped through out chain link fence, so I'm guessing he came from outside.

Hopefully he had a nice snack.

Probably

I just realized it wasn't the Last Mile, but the Green Mile

Cross stitch project. An aviary with various birds, including a Barn owl and a Blue Footed Booby.

Done with the first four features in this Extraordinary Birds stitch-a-long.

The wait between installments....

It reminds me of when Stephen King published The Last Mile in installments and we had to wait for the next issue! Suspense!

My co-worker is dumbfounded that if I lived in the country, I would have a meadow instead of a lawn. As it is I'm working on getting rid of the yard I do have.

I could smell the smoke this morning!
