IHSW and TUSAL update...

.... only a couple of days late.

First of all, here is my TUSAL update - as you can see, lots of wool ORTs this month.


Here are my year to date ORTs, next to my first camellia of the season.


... and here is my May IHSW update ...

I stitched some more on my Prairie Schooler Santa's Twelve Days of Christmas SAL which I do with my dear friend,  Linda.


Then I finished stitching my pink version of "Counting"  I used some antique buttons and found some perfect material to complement it in my patchwork stash.




Furio seemed to like the finished product.


... and just to end, here is Furio "watching" Outlander" - lol!



Well, that is it for me tonight, off to watch some more Outlander.

hugs,

"don't talk to me I'm counting," also applies to knitting, a great quote. Loving your progress..........

Love the saying on the pillow and the pillow has a beautiful finish.
Furio: You watch t.v. like me with your eyes closed.

Hi Kaye - Furio is like my Site Manager, always asleep & definitely not watching anything but the inside of his eyelids!

Good looking ORTs and a beautiful flower. Loving your finished pillow - always good to have it pet approved! And I can see that Furio finds Outlander completely riveting.

Hello Kaye,

I love the saying on your latest cross stitch, rather appropriate for not only a cross stitcher but someone who crochets and knits.

Happy days.
Bev.

Looks like Furio really loves Outlander. :D Nice WIP and I love your finish -- so pretty!

I can see Furio is just totally enthralled with Outlander. It must soothe him. "Don't talk to me" could be me in any craft ahaha. The whole finish is great, love the little spool.

Angela said...

Love your pillow finish! Love Outlander too :)

Barb said...

Lots of lovely stitching! Furio doesn't seem to realize how cute Jamie is!

Heather said...

Great pillow :)

Sarah in Stitches said...

Oooh, pretty finish! It looks fantastic :D

Brigitte said...

Nice progress on the PS piece. And what a beautiful finishing on the counting pillow. You seem to love playing with buttons, too.

Frances said...

I love your finish, and the buttons on the side are perfect!
The Prairie Schooler set will be stunning when you complete all! Love it!
Kitty watches tv the way we do at our house!!! No wonder I never know what happened on a show!!!

Linda said...

Cute finish Kaye and Santa looks great.

Great finish!

Jo who can't think of a clever nickname said...

Love that quote! You should stuff the pillow with something heavy so you can throw it at people who do break the rule!

Furio is a handsome fellow. I read the Outlander books but haven't watched any of it as yet - would you recommend it?
