I finished Lizzie Kate's Easter Flip it into a no-sew cube

I finished stitching Lizzie Kate's Easter flip it on Saturday and stitched the carrot charm onto the stitched piece on Sunday morning.  I started making the no-sew cube early this afternoon and realized I didn't have a solid piece of fabric or any ribbon to finish it so off to Joann Fabric and AC Moore to get the supplies I needed.  I just finished the cube.  I sure hope my sister likes it.

Bridge in Monet's Garden - Page 10 is complete

As of 3/31/2012 I have been stitching on Bridge in Monet's Garden for 1 year.  Yesterday I finished stitching page 10 after 2 marathon afternoons, Saturday and Sunday, of stitching.  I am posting a couple of pictures of the project as of yesterday afternoon. I was hoping to complete a page a month but that isn't happening.  Only 25 more pages to go.   I am also posting a picture of my ornament tree decorated for Easter.

Ornament tree all decorated for Easter

Hopefully I will have a few more pictures of some finished projects either later today or tomorrow.  Last night I worked on Blueladie Designs April SAL and actually finished all the stitching and started putting the ornament together.  I also finished stitching Lizzie Kate's Easter Flip-it and hope to make it into a no-sew cube this afternoon so I can give it to my sister either tomorrow on Wednesday on my way home from work. 

3 Easter ornaments finished

I finished the following 3 Easter ornaments for my ornament tree.  I stitched these last year and didn't like the way they turned out so I re-stitched them and finished them in a different way.  They are OK but I think I give up on ovals and rounds.  All three are from 100 Weekend Cross-Stitch Gifts by Barbara Finwall and Nancy Javier.  There are a couple more Easter Egg designs and I have started stitching another one but in the meantime my Sister has asked me to stitch something for her (Lizzie Kate - Easter Flit It) so that is what I am working on during the day right now.  I did take some pictures of the tree decorated for Easter but they didn't come out very well so I will re-take them another day when it is bright and sunny. 

My ornament tree for St. Patrick's Day and an ornament finish

Bathroom Renovation

We recently had the bathroom in our basement remodeled.  It turned out really nice and as Bob says it is now the best room in the house.   We took lots of before and after pictures and posted them in Webshots.  I don't want to download them again here as there are just way to many pictures. So if you are interested in seeing them you can go to:

We have one major problem with this renovation and that is we had in-floor heating installed and it doesn't work.  It is so frustrating and I sure hope that it is an easy fix because if they have to tear the whole bathroom apart to fix it that is what they will have to do.  We are not paying the rest of the money until the heat works.
