I used some of that DMC wire for the yarn, wrapping it and couching it down to give the piece a 3D effect. This has also been framed, still need to hang up a bunch of stuff but our recent move has us still unpacking!

That's everything off my needle until this year. Lots of stuff hot off the hook, crocheting up a storm, gifts, chemo hats for Duke Hospital, throw pillows, afghans, even a queen-sized bedspread in the round, designed by Frank O'Randle on Ravelry. Maybe I'll do a crochet post later, of all the best stuff at least. The hats would be pretty boring though.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JAa7IU8f1MHwkJf8vRZrAwhpj_yMUxvwj9Fp1ede4oBigV7_p_C8TIEemalmf4WUIBXKp977V7uVMg0_YAzls7784VqKMO9DpSxWFDr3V7IxXW0VOH2kHmUhlqMdJGaiQjMWzf4B84uw/s2048/FrankORandle-Tides+of+Change+complete.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1530" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0JAa7IU8f1MHwkJf8vRZrAwhpj_yMUxvwj9Fp1ede4oBigV7_p_C8TIEemalmf4WUIBXKp977V7uVMg0_YAzls7784VqKMO9DpSxWFDr3V7IxXW0VOH2kHmUhlqMdJGaiQjMWzf4B84uw/s320/FrankORandle-Tides+of+Change+complete.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p>Just no stitchy stuff in all that time. I'm feeling the shift back to stitching though...at least I did finish the Mill Hill cat earlier this year (and blogged about it) and I've been working on a couple of UFOs in June. (There will be a post about that too!) The move (in the middle of the Covid19 pandemic no less) has sucked all the energy out of me and we are literally in the final week of it all, with the old house about to be listed for sale, so revving up my needle again...new start coming soon!

I can do that! What a way to get my blog kickstarted again!</p><p>So, "Houses" by StitchinKat...including my interpretation of what's included in the term, cause I think birdhouses count! </p>First, a couple of ornaments. This one is from a JCS ornament issue early on. I'll have to go in search of it to be sure but I think it's called Reindeer on the Roof. eta: I found it! It is Mary Garry's Sewing Cabin-Reindeer on The Roof from the JCS 1997 Orn.

It is stitched on a 32ct Silkweaver Solo lugana. Next up for Just Nan will be one of the new designs, to be stitched in June! Plus, I need to get my stitching mojo back, so I may start something else and take a break from the Peacocks for a while....lots of backstitching gets boring! Happy May, welcoming June!<br />

I will have to frame it tomorrow when I have some time...sorry the pic is a little blurry, it's late at night here now!<br />

The needlework world is again sending out requests to please respect the copyright of designers, DON'T share electronic or photocopies of charts and patterns!<br />
<br />
<u><a href="http://needleworkcopyright.blogspot.com/2010/09/snowball-effect-of-copyright-violations.html">http://needleworkcopyright.blogspot.com/2010/09/snowball-effect-of-copyright-violations.html</a></u><br />
<br />
I have a few freebies here on my blog, please don't share them, but link back to my blog posts so they can be downloaded legally from me. Just because they are free patterns, it doesn't mean you can copy them and share the copies. I own the copyright. Send friends to my blog, don't share the charts directly. This is how I keep track of the number of downloads, as I am trying to start up my own design business. I use the info to see what is popular and what is not. I have not yet had anyone tell me they have stitched one of my freebies, or seen any pictures, so I have no idea if they are popular, all I can go by is the number of downloads.<br />
<br />

First up is the JN Pin Keepers Garden, all the stitching done, just need to make it into a pin keep for the fancy pins it needs! It is stitched on Silkweaver's 32ct Jubilation opalescent lugana. Once I get it finished off I'll post another picture. I think it will be really cute!<br />

I also stitched the Filigree Fancies kit Pansy Basket...twice! I am participating in an exchange and stitched it for my partner...she is doing a different pattern for me, and I am not going to put up a picture of her's so it will be a surprise! This is the one I decided to stitch for myself, on 28ct ice blue jobelan.<br />

Next, I go back to the Beaded Peacock Tile by Chatelaine Designs, and start my next Just Nan design for March. Not much more stitching to report, other than a couple more crocheted hats. Today was a beautiful March lamb of a day, hard to believe we are supposed to get more winter weather tomorrow! My daffodils are starting to come up!<br />

This one is Winter Spell, mounted in the WhimZi frame that came with it. I had originally meant to stitch a different Just Nan design this month, but got drawn into another project (more on that tomorrow!), and just ran out of time! We have had quite the winter here in North Carolina, getting far more snow and ice than we are used to, so this seemed a good choice! This one took just 3 evenings in front of the TV, and it's done! Stitched on a 28ct Blue Breeze opalescent Jazlyn evenweave.<br />

A fellow Just Nan Junkie on Facebook, Zeb Ahmed, has organized a fun challenge for the members of our little group...to stitch as many designs by Nan Caldera of Just Nan as we can in the year, trying to increase the net presence of Just Nan designs and hope that people notice! If anyone is interested in joining us, it's not too late! Just visit Zeb's blog here....http://www.ixari.net/just-nan-design-list/just-nan-stitch-along-2014/<div>

My collection of Just Nan stash continues to grow, and at one point I had a list of the ones I'd like to get done this year, but of course it's still in flux as I see other's posting pictures of their happy dances! I decided to start small with a JN WhimZi called Whirlibirds, which came with it's own little ornament frame. The WhimZi frames are no longer available sadly, but you might be able to find them in shops or online if you are diligent in your searching! This is a little kit, all you do is supply the fabric and DMC threads. It's only 2 inches square!</div>

<div>
I was uncharacteristically out of two of the DMC colors called for, so I used my best judgement to pick the blue and green colors for two of the birds. The fabric is a bit of leftover linen from my stash. All I had to do was stitch it up and pop it in the frame! I love how cheerful it is! In a dreary cold January, it's a welcome warmer that makes me smile!</div>

Now I have to decide which Just Nan design I will stitch in February! Hmmmm..........</div>

There are badges on the side bar here for three of them, still need to figure out how to make my own badge with words to add the last for the Peacock SAL.<br />
<br />
SAL #1 is the Teresa Wentzler Tinies SAL, by which it is meant that folks in the group are picking out designs by Teresa Wentzler (refered to as TW) in the small range for a quick stitch each month, many from older magazines when she first started out as a designer, and many are her smaller freebies from her website.<br />
For my January stitch, I choose a freebie called the Peacock Tapestry Ornament, which is an element of the full Peacock Tapestry design, a corner of the border in fact. I used a 28ct pearl cashel and the called for threads and beads. I made it into a biscornu ornament with a peacock bead I had on hand (from the Just Nan line). Here is the result!<br />

<br />
The second SAL is with a small group of folks stitching a Joan Elliott design from a magazine. It is called Blackwork Peacocks....I am working on it at the present and will post more when I have something to show off! I am also in a group stitching different peacock designs during the year, so the Blackwork Peacocks will help in that effort. In addition I have a Chatelaine design called the Beaded Peacock Tile in my rotation. It comes back up next week in early February. Here is my progress so far. More on that later!<br />

<br />
Earlier in the year I did another pair of small designs. One is a cover kit from the magazine Cross Stitch Crazy #177 by Kate Knight. I switched out the aida for a small piece of light blue opalescent linen. Unfortunately I did the backstitching in the wrong shade of blue, but I wrote it off to a happy mistake and lived with it!<br />

I think it was meant to be seen as a peacock, but I think it looks more like a Victoria Crowned Pigeon!<br />

One other finish in January was this ornament by San-Man Originals called Quaker Tuck. It is an exclusive to the San-Man bulletin board members and the tuck and button came with the pattern. I stitched it on a small piece of Silkweaver Solo linen.<br />

More on the 4th SAL, the 2014 Just Nan Stitch-a-Long tomorrow.

I stitched like crazy early in the year, while my daughter was on Study Abroad in New Zealand (have to admit I missed her a lot!) When she came home in late April, it was a whirlwind of things that had to be done so all the ducks were aligned for her to start college in the fall, plus her last summer swimming for the neighborhood team, plus her trip to Europe for 2 weeks in July with her grandma and cousins, which was when I read a lot and crocheted a lot, well into the fall after taking her off to ECU.....in fact I crocheted so much, that's what I gave to extended family for Christmas! Hats and scarfs and some afghans too...way too many pictures to put here, so if you are interested, check my Flickr page and look in the Knitting and Crochet Set! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stitchinkat/sets/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/stitchinkat/sets/</a><br />
<br />
I also got back a few things from the framer in October...some stuff I got re-framed for my Mom, and from Country Cottage, Here Kitty Kitty<br />

Finally, I made cuffs for stockings for some members of the family, attaching them to the felt stockings with coordinating buttons, and used some more buttons from the stash to dress up the names I charted.<br />

Don't know if anyone is still following me since I've been off the blog since March, dealing with many things, but life is getting back to normal, and it's gonna get real quiet soon, as my daughter is less than two weeks away from leaving for college! Sigh, I still can't believe it!<br />
<br />
At any rate, I promised a recap of my Shepherd's Bush retreat last September, almost a year ago now!<br />
This set is part of the group sessions, and we received the tote bag (pre-made) the first night. It included a group of small motifs to stitch in the band insert, our choice as to which ones and what order.<br />

The sampler below was stitched and inserted inside the case, along with several other felt pockets, all of which was assembled by hand. I made the sampler into a pocket for threads, and added a small pair of scissors. I thoroughly enjoyed making this and will use it when traveling.<br />

During the daytime, we had three classes. I took the track that included Chessie & Me, Jeannette Douglas, and the R&R ladies. I have finished stitching the Chessie & Me design <u>Shepherd's Christmas</u>, below. The other two are started but not completed enough to warrant pictures. I'll post when they are completed, hopefully this year.<br />

After the trip, I pretty much spent the rest of the year working on designs for my young nephew and nieces in New Zealand, since we had the upcoming Christmas trip there. My husband's sister is married to a New Zealander, and my daughter had been accepted into a study abroad program in the high school in her town for the fall term, (remember it's summer at Christmas down there!) We had a lovely trip (long too) and experienced a summer Christmas, which was quite nice! First the three designs, then a few travel pics!<br />
<br />
The first design, a Janlynn kit by Suzy Spafford, is called <u>Dogs of Duckport</u>, for my dog loving niece Alex.<br />
It's not framed yet, because it traveled in my carry on bag, as did the others.<br />

My favorite of the many endangered birds at Tiri, a pair of rare Takahe and their chick. They are as big as a goose, with beautiful peacock colored feathers. Next time we go, I'm determined to spend the night and try to spot some Kiwi birds! Also want to finally get to the South Island, to see the Southern Alps.<br />

After that, I worked exclusively on a Chatelaine design,<i> Evening in the Park</i>, before going off to the Shepherd's Bush retreat in Utah with my friend Carolyn. I got almost to the end, and had to take it with me to finish the last of the trees around the outside before taking it to Jill Rensel for framing.<br />

As you can see, Jill did a wonderful job framing it for me! She gave me permission to use her picture, taken before boxing it up with all my framing...btw, she did an excellent job with the packing! I have never gotten anything packed so well in my life! The photo just does not do it justice!<br />

Next post will be all about the 2012 Shepherd's Bush Retreat in September, including projects!

Today I want to catch up on last years stitching finishes, and soon I'll post about my trip, with some awesome pictures!<br />
<br />
The last stitchy thing I posted was my own <i>Color Wheel Biscornu</i>, so I'll pick it up from there! <br />
I finished what I hope to be my first REAL PUBLISHED FOR SALE pattern, called <i>Recycle It!</i> No picture because I want it to be a surprise once I am ready to publish it. You will all have to wait on that one! <br />
<br />
About that time I decided to go to the 2012 Shepherd's Bush Retreat with my friend Carolyn, and lucky us....Jill Rensel, framer extraordinaire is located only a few blocks away from the Shepherd's Bush store! I have been saving up some finished projects to have her frame. I no longer have a real local needlework framer, the next closest is 3 hours away in the Charlotte area! At any rate, I had two Workbasket designs stitched, <i>Flutterbys</i>, and<i> God's Critters</i> (see below), and finally got out the third from the series,<i> Trellis </i>and stitched it up in July. I made a couple of minor changes to shorten it a bit because it is one inch taller than it's companion<i> (God's Critters)</i> and I wanted them to match. I left off a couple of strawberries at the bottom and moved up the hedgehog and it was then the same dimensions! It stitched up fast!<br />

Flutterbys<br />
<br />
They will have matching frames and be hung as a group with<i> Flutterbys</i> in the middle. It is on a piece of Crossed Wing's Sky linen, and the other two are on Silkweaver's Dreamin' evenweave.<br />
<br />
I stitched another freebie biscornu next, and will post it and the pattern link in a few days. Next thing to call to me was<i> Here Kitty Kitty</i>, by Country Cottage. Stitched on a piece of Silkweaver Solo with called for threads. Another fun and quick stitch. I will finish my catch-up in another post or two.<br />

Long time since I posted on the blog, just been too busy! Merry Christmas from down under in New Zealand! We are here visiting family and daughter Kira is staying for a term of Study Abroad until April....whatever will I do without her smiling face! Thank goodness for Skype! I've been busy stitching and have 2 more freebies to post in the new year. I have been to the Shepherd's Bush retreat in Utah in the fall, and left 8 finished needlework pieces with Jill Rensel to boot! She has them in the wings until after Christmas so I hope to get some piccies soon to see what magic that she will work with them. There are 3 Workbasket pieces, Trellis, Flutterbys, and God's Critters, and also the 4 Micro Chatelaines from 2011 and the completed Evening in the Park. Hopefully I can get the pictures on the blog when we get home in January.<br />
<br />
Its a lovely summer Christmas Day here, still Christmas Eve back home in NC, USA. We have eaten too much and will all sleep off the good food before doing some touristy things....I miss my kitties and the dog, but they all seem to love the pet sitter staying with them, and it's nice not to have to worry about pets or house so far away from home! <br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season, and a safe one as well. Hugs to all! <br />

Being the mother of a high school senior about to graduate is sure high intensity! I finally found some time to stitch up and post my May freebie, so I hope everyone enjoys seeing it! This one is called the Color Wheel Biscornu. I am still learning the ins and outs of my software and decided an exercise in color theory and selection would be a fun way to learn color picking. I have made it into a one sided biscornu. The back is only the corner motifs as you can see from the pictures. There are 12 colors in my wheel, based on the artist's paint pallet. Red, Blue and Yellow are the primary colors, mixing them in various combinations can give you a rainbow of colors for painting or thread dyeing. Tinting with white or shading with black can also add colors to your range, but I'll save that for another project! My color choices came down to my own color vision preferences, so feel free to blend your own choices between the red, blue and yellow. This might be fun to stitch out from the center in a spiral using a colorful variegated thread too! The buttons came from the button aisle in my local fabric store, but any sort of button or bead would do. Fabric is a 32ct white opalescent lugana. As always, please respect my copyright and do not share my charts, but link to my blog. Let me know if there are any issues in downloading the patterns. Enjoy!<br />

This one I called "Bee A Sweet Pea" and has charts to make a biscornu and other accessories. <b><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBZT1vGT3dYcllxWjdKaTAzLW8/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Click here </a>to download the pattern and key </b>with instructions from the list, and as always, let me know if you have any problems getting the pattern. My model was stitched with a different alphabet font because I forgot I had to change it to my own lettering from the PCStitch 10 alphabet I was playing with when I first got the inspiration! Believe it or not, my hexagon tile pattern on the bathroom floor was what inspired it back in February when I was wishing for spring! Sweet peas are the flower of April as well, so bees and sweet peas just cried out to be paired up! Feel free to make your own lettering or leave them off and use the bees instead.<br />
<br />
I used the two squares for the top and bottom of the biscornu, and stitched it on 30ct Weeks Honeysuckle with DMC. The bee buttons you see in the pictures are from Just Another Button Company. I'm going to make a heart shaped pin pillow with the sweet pea bouquet and single stitched bee. The pea pod and bees could be used for a fob or anything else you might come up with. I like making patterns with lots of interchangeable parts because that lets me and all of you use your creativity!<br />

Back to my Chinese Garden Mandala this weekend! </div>

I FINALLY finished up to part 8 and have kitted up my next freebie for later this month.<br />
<br />
It may look like it's finished completely, but there is still an outer border along with vases, bamboo, mums and phoenix birds on all four sides! I have had to tweak a bit again due to the black linen, subbing DMC 500 for the called for silk in the Winter Garden pine tree. The green silk was just too dark. Here's the close up of the final seasonal garden....I think it's my favorite!<br />

I finished up my small piece that was giving me a break from the Chatelaine mandala last night. This was fun to do! It is by Raise the Roof and is called the Official Crazy Cat Lady....which I qualify for with my 4 current kitties! The fabric is a 28ct piece of Silkweaver Solo with the called for Weeks and GAST. I re-arranged and added a couple of extra cat buttons, cause you know a crazy cat lady can never have too many purr-faces!<br />

As usual please let me know if there are any problems or questions about the patterns or keys. Download Froggy Hollow from <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBZT1vGT3dYU2dJNkFGNl9PeVE/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">HERE</a>. This is another biscornu pattern as you can see, but I have included a little frog to stitch on the lily pad if you'd rather make something else with it. I used a frog button on top, and a dragonfly on the back. The fabric is a 28ct chartreuse linen, floss is DMC. I would love to see any stitched results you may have!<br />

I have been busy stitching on my Chinese Garden Mandala from Chatelaine, and recently finished part 7, so I thought I'd post a picture here! I'm doing the WiP Killer SAL on the Yuku Chatelaine BB and trying to finish this so I can get the new Serengeti mandala! Click on it and I think you will see it enlarged. I had some trouble with one of the silks being poorly dyed and had to go back with some DMC in the same coral color and replace it on the upper left spring garden. Upper right is the summer garden, then autumn below. Part 8 will be the winter garden in the final corner, plus a narrow border around the entire piece so far. The final parts go around the outside, and include 4 phoenix birds! I'm going to take a break with a small and then get on with this again!<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Also, I've been stitching my next freebie, so watch for it in the near future!</span><br />
<br />
In the meantime, I got a blog award from <a href="http://stitchingfrog.blogspot.com/2012/03/liebster-award-part-2.html" target="_blank">Rebekah</a>! Thank you! I borrowed the info below from her blog.<br />
She gave me one of the Liebster Blog Awards and this is what it means.....<br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Liebster is a German word, meaning favorite, dearest or beloved, and the Liebster is awarded by bloggers to other, newer bloggers who have fewer than 200 followers, to spread the word and help the new(er)bies gain wider recognition. The award comes with four conditions that each recipient must satisfy when accepting:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">1. Choose five up-and-coming blogs (with fewer than 200 followers) to award the Liebster to.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">3. Post the award on your blog. List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blogs so they know about the award.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">4. Share five random facts about yourself that people don't know about you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">So, choosing 5 blogs that haven't already gotten this award is the tough part. Here we go.</span><br />

It's a bit of a switch for Valentine's Day, because we all love our pets right? I have put my own spin on the saying "Pets leave paw prints on your heart", and it would work equally well for dog or cat lovers. I made a biscornu out of the design, repeating the paw print motifs on the back piece in the corners (as you can see in the pics). In addition, I made a simple paw print heart, which you could use for the back, or do what I did and make a little pin pillow or add a ribbon and hang it up out of paws reach! <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBZT1vGT3dYWmYxRG01RkI1TDQ/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Click here for the pdf</a>, and as always let me know if you have issues getting it. Only two colors were used, one a variegated pink DMC, the other is DMC 3350, a dusty rose. You can use whatever colors you like of course! My fabric was a 28ct Confederate gray linen and I added a kitty face button on the front and a pink heart on the back. A frisky kitten left his paw prints all over the front!<br />
I did not back stitch around the large paw prints, and think maybe I should have....live and learn!<br />
