Rotation Finished

I finished my rotation on a kit Nanny bought me when I graduated from high school.  It's a beautiful piece called Dolphin's Domain.  Here's what I've done so far.

Sampler Club

Tonight was May's Sampler Club night.  It was nice for three reasons.  1.  Mom and I didn't have to host it, Donna did.  2. We missed last month so it had been two months since I worked on Nora Corbett.  3.  I made Connie cry.  Yup that was great.  I gave her the cat memorial I stitched for Emily.  She was definitely touched.  Donna got hers tonight, too. 

Here's my progress on Nora Corbett's 12 Days:

A Gift for Donna

I felt really bad for Donna.  It's hard for her to make friends.  She just lost her best friend, her puppy, Jackie.  So I made her a dog memorial.  She wanted to buy the pattern to make it for herself and we kept hinting for her not to.  She just couldn't get the memo.  Finally momma just told her I was making her one.  It was pretty funny.  I'm not framing hers like I am the one for Nikki and Joey so she gets hers as is.  I like Donna, but I love Nikki, Joey, and Makayla.  They're worth the price of framing.  he he

Another Stitching Night

Guess who I saw at the stitch shop tonight--Nikki and Makayla.  Yeah.  I miss them both.  Things have been so crazy we haven't been able to meet up.  But we spent some quality time tonight.  And guess what--Nikki even stitched!  I was so proud of her.  Ha ha. Here's what I got done tonight.

On a Finishing Roll...

I finished another piece.  Since I found the wonderful memorial pattern that I stitched for Nikki and Joey, I decided to do one for Ms. Connie.  She lost her kitty, Emily, who was a dear companion to her.  Since she's elderly and lives alone, this loss hit her hard.  So I stitched her the kitty memorial. 

Back to my Routine (I hope)

First of all--Happy Birthday Mary and Cathy!

Now on to cross stitch stuff.  Mom and I are trying to get back into our Tuesday night stitching routine.  So much has gotten in the way.  We were really late tonight, but we made it.  Mom had a quilting class and I had a faculty meeting.  Didn't get home for dinner until 5:30.  We didn't leave for the shop until 6.  But we went anyway and stitched our hearts out.  I worked some more on Sweet Moon for Bethie's angels.

I'm finishing the bottom of the moon's crescent, then I'm done (until it's time to add the date and the name) and on to Sweet Moon's twin.

Another Finish!

Most of you know that Nikki and Joey had to put Saphire to sleep about a month ago.  She was a wonderful dog and I felt she needed to be remembered.  I found a sweet pattern on Hoffman and stitched it for her.  Now I just need to take it to get framed.
