Good morning! I started the blueberry ice cream lady last week and managed to put in the last bit of backstitching in on Monday morning.

The last one in the series will be the cookies ice cream lady, which I hope to work on next month.

This is my finished cross stitch project during my vacation this week. Green tea seemed the appropriate flavor to stitch up while in California.

When I get back home I will start stitching on my HoE Halloween exchange project since it will be going out in the mail at the beginning of September.

Until next time ^____^

I was able to finish another ice cream lady cross stitch this weekend. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to finish it as we were in Pensacola yesterday for their annual Depression glass show. My sister and I purchased a few pieces and our mother found a lovely handled dish for her Blue Ridge pottery collection. Afterwards we ran by the Eastern Shore Center to spend some time at Barnes and Noble. It's a shame that we no longer have a B&N in town.

In other news, I've had autumn on my mind for a while as evident by frequent searches online and on Ravelry for autumn crochet patterns and digging through my stash of Halloween/Autumn cross stitch patterns. The worse part?! It's only August.....how I wish it was October already. We need some cool weather.

Until next time >____<

Ice Cream Lady Cross Stitch

Last weekend at Mechacon, I was chatting with one of the artists in the Artist Alley. She was selling cross stitch designs and plushies. I was telling her that since I was getting ready for Mechacon for so long, I hadn't been able to cross stitch that much and I couldn't wait to start stitching again.

I was able to start and finish this design after work this week.

I loved stitching on this pattern. The colors are vibrant and cheerful. I think I might frame this design. I will have to keep a lookout for a cute frame at my local craft stores.

Until next time ^____^

My aunt wanted me to stitch up this design from one of the JCS magazines that caught her eye in September. It's slow stitching for sure! There are a lot of color changes throughout so I'll be working on this design for a while.

There are so many symbols in the chart that I'm doing something I've never done before, highlighting my chart after I stitch an area. Without that I would be completely lost!

In other news, I've joined Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery's It's a Kawaii Winter Wonderland weekly stitching pattern. Until early November, the pattern is only $10 for 25 small designs! You get 5 patterns each week of November to make a cute sampler. Definitely worth the price. I loved the pattern that Carla at CC's Stitching Diary has been working on with monthly kawaii desserts/sweets that I knew I wanted to sign up for FPS' new design series.

Until next time ^____^
