Upcoming plans

My sister and I have decided that we would like to do a craft sale this year. There is a big one here in Winnipeg at the end of October so we're gonna go for it. It will be our first ever craft sale. (All advice welcome. Please!!!)
This means a lot more embroidery for me over the next couple months. I'm looking forward to it in all honesty. It should be a lot of fun and I enjoy making things. I'm sure I'll be loading you and my Instagram up with photos! Tonight after my run I will be making a master list of all the things that I would like to have stitched and I'll be looking to finish a few items that have been waiting for some motivation. Please feel free to kick my blogging butt if you don't see tons of posts and tons of work being done!

New Bed Plans

Yesterday we got fantastic news! We are getting a new bed!! What!! What!! A new bed!!! And it's gonna be a king sized bed which will perfectly fit my blanket plans!!!
And I finished the stitch work on my baby blanket gifts. Now tomorrow I will hopefully be attaching them to their knitted blankets. More pictures to follow!

Stitching Madness

Everyone I know seems to be having babies lately and I'm 100% excited for all of them! So I've been cracking the whip on my poor sister and has been making her knit baby blankets. And I believe that she has finished all of them now. Now it's my turn. I'm stitching little corner patches with names and a small design. I would like to get two maybe three done this week so I can get them to their rightful owners next week!
This one is for one of my oldest friends.

One Flower Wednesday Part 2

Yesterday I was at the dentist and there was this great picture that my dentist's partner (the other dentist who works in the building, not life partner) took. It was a great shot of this beach with a palm tree and a rainbow. It inspired me to finish one of each of the solid colored flowers for my quilt for my One Flower Wednesday posting today. 

So I did manage to get one of each color completed for my post today. I had all these great ideas about taking a photo of them on the grass (which I freshly mowed yesterday) under the bright sunlight. And then the day got in the way. It was Tim Horton's Camp day, so I went there a few times to get coffee and help them raise money to send kids to Camp. And I played with my beasty boy, see part one for photos. And I went to Chapters to see if they had any good books on EPP. They didn't have a single book! Like WTF? A whole row for knitting, another for crochet and very very little for hand stitching. Disappointed I was. (If anyone knows any good books please comment and let me know. I would love to get one or two.) 

Although my biggest distraction was The Big C on Netflix, I was trying to not watch the show because it seemed like one I would really get emotionally involved in. I should have followed my gut. What an amazing show! 

Soft Kitty

 I stitched this pillow case set a little while ago now. And today as I worked out adding things to my side bars I saw this guy on my Etsy Page and thought that I would share him with you and maybe my Instagram (which I just started today) sherry_bscrafts if you'd like to follow me.
