Happy Dance x 2!

Yay! I had great success with my two kitty cats yesterday for Friday Frolics plus I also made great progress on my Witch's Kitchen, too!

Alphabet Cats by JBW Designs

Witch's Kitchen a freebie by The Primitive Hare

A most successful Friday Frolics, how about you?

hugs, 

I think....

... that it will be another trilogy of stitching again this Friday and maybe, a Happy Dance or two, if I am lucky!

So, I went to my WIP pile and pulled out this box...

.... opened the lid and found this inside ....

JBW Designs Alphabet Cat, personalised to look like Furio ....

... with only the "F", "U", "R" and "O" to go!  This should be a speedy run to that Happy Dance!

Inside I also found the fabric and thread to stitch an Alphabet Milo! So, I figure just like Proverbi 3 last week, that counts as a WIP as well!

 

I am also planning to put some more love into this sweet freebie from The Primitive Hare... "Witch's Kitchen".

So, lots of Frolicking for me today, fingers crossed!

hugs, 

Fifth last Friday Frolic for 2016....

Yes, we are on the countdown to the end of the year now ..... only four more Fridays to go to 2017! Woo Hoo!

Happily for me, I had another Happy Dance for FF last night - I am on a real roll with my Christmas stitching, that is for sure!

This is a very sweet Freebie design from Designs by Gloria and Pat on the Candy Cane Stitchers Group on FB, just scroll down to October 18 (although you do need to be a member of the group, I think, to see all of the pics.

I stitched it on 28 ct Ivory linen, using my own choice of floss.

What did everyone else get up to for Friday Frolics last night?

Madonna and child....

For FF this Friday, I went back to the Hat Boxes, you can read all about The Tale of Three Hat boxes (aka The Shame of Kaye) by following the link,  and pulled out Madonna and child to work on.

As I found her, abandoned for twenty years!

This is a Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum freebie.

Some progress, she is quite tricky as there is a lot of gradation of colour of the blues.

Hopefully, she will be finished for Christmas 2016.

Of course, she reminded me of this Beatle's song.

I hope that your frolicking was fruitful.

hugs, Kaye

Friday Frolicking.... and then nada!

Well, I am sooooooo behind!  I started this post on the 7th March and now it is the 18th!  That is what having a week or so of farewell celebrations when you are made redundant and finish work does to you - puts you totally off schedule!

This is what I wrote on the 7th March:

 Oooh, I never got around to posting the week before last's Friday Frolics and here it is the Monday after yet another FF!  So, you are are going to get a Two-for-One deal today - lol!

Friday, 26th February:
I randomly picked up my America Sampler by Jean Farish.  I am still stitching "America" across the top - one of these days I will get to stitch a State!
Before:
(now I have just added the pics and will continue with the blog post)

After:

Then, the following Friday, 5th March, I worked on my " Measure of a year" by Prairie Schooler, which I have now finished by working on it off and on over the past couple of weeks.

I am so thrilled with my finish and it is now off at the framers and should be back this week!

Unfortunately, the following Friday was my last day at work, so Frolicking of another kind took place - Twilight Music at the Zoo - Bjorn Again!

Then, this past Friday, 18th March, I picked up a mini rotation of three smalls I am doing for various SALs, Blog hops, etc.

Before pic:

After pic:

The Hallowe'en piece is for the Hallowe'en Ornie SAL theme of pumpkins - it is a freebie from one of the designers on the Pumpkin Seed Stitchers FB group - Northern Expressions.

The sheep is another freebie, from the Le Comtesse & Le Point de Croix, which you can find here.

The snowman is Snow Mates by Blue Ribbon Designs from the JCS Christmas Ornie Magazine 2015.  This is being stitched for the JCS Stitch along FB group.


Anyway, I am going to stop here, or else I will never get this posted before next Friday - it is already Sunday!  lol!

I hope that you have all enjoyed this post, finally!, and that you are frolicking on.

hugs, Kaye
