I've been working on MLQ everyday now so I have gotten somewhere with it finally! I am really enjoying stitching this one. I wonder why I ever put it down??
This is what I posted last:
And here is where I am now:
I don't have much more to go. I just have to finish the design on the left and then another smaller one near her dress. Then it is on to the rest of the alphabet and I am done.
All of my exchanges due are stitched. I plan on taking today and tomorrow and finishing them into something. I think I am going to do flat fold's on all of them except for the one that is suppose to be an ornament. I like flat folds because you can display them anywhere you want.
My puppies both had birthday's last week and now they are 3 years old! I can't believe I have had them 3 years already!
All of my butterflies have hatched and I've sent them off into the world! I only had 1 casualty and that was yesterday. The last one started coming out of it's chrysalis and was stuck! All that was sticking out of the bottom was it's front legs and it's antenna's. I waited and watched it and saw it was getting no where, so I took down the chrysalis and tried helping it out. Unfortunately something was wrong with it and there wasn't anything I could do except humanely put it to sleep (That would be put it in a small container and stick it in the freezer for a few hours). Believe me it bothers me when I have to do that but it is better then putting them outside and having a bird or something else devour them. I've seen it and it isn't pretty :(
If your into baking I came across this neat website/blog called Bakerella . She has some wonderful recipes and ideas for decorating your baked goods. I signed up for her newsletter and this morning she had these gorgeous cookies & cupcakes decorated with fondant. They are so pretty you almost feel guilty eating them lol She even shows you how to do it and gives you links to where she bought her molds and what recipe she used.
Well I better get started on my finishing work. Before you know it it will be time to pick my DS up from school!
Have a good day everyone and Thanks so much for stopping by!

Your progress looks awesome. What a really pretty stitch! Hugs, girlfriend.
Such pretty colors you have chosen! Nice progress!
Your Quaker is looking so pretty.
Isn't that a great piece? I stitched mine minus the alphabet (put my initials on it instead) and have it hanging in our bedroom. Looking at it makes me smile.
