Are you being Haunted??????

This week in the tub of "(sometimes) No Return", I found this cute piece, halfway finished: "Haunted" by Lizzie Kate.  (Not sure when I last stitched on this - cannot find a post about it anywhere) but anyway, here it is - back in the light of day, so to speak.

So I stitched (and frogged - boo hoo) ...

... and then frogged and stitched some more and finally had a Happy Dance!

 Thought I would just finish with some roses from my garden.

Women making History....

This week I pulled out a WIP from January 2015 (the 12th to be precise), "Well Behaved Women" by Lizzie Kate.  

Now, I have absolutely no memory of ever stitching on this piece and there was only one skein of orange floss (the one used for the flower) in the project bag, so unfortunately a bit of frogging had to happen as I couldn't match the green to finish the word "History". I decided to change it up about anyway and used WDE Fire instead (different orange to the flower).  As I am going along I am actually changing a lot of the colours now as I dip into my WDW floss tin.  Quite a bit of progress has been made, as you can see.  

I hope to stitch on this a bit more today, Saturday, but who knows after that? Tomorrow is New Start Sundays and Monday is 'Merica Monday for the Americana SAL - so maybe, Tuesday?  It actually should only take a few more evenings of stitching to have a Happy Dance.

Time To Think Deeply.....

... about working on this Lizzie Kate UFO for Friday Frolics this week.....

Think Deeply...... by Lizzie Kate

The last time I stitched on this for Friday Frolic was here.

Before....

Progress......

... and I stitched some more on it yesterday (Saturday) and so now I am up to here....

My Twentieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-second Frolics for 2017.....

Here I am again, with a Threefer for you this time (is that even a word?????) .... I swear the days and weeks and months are just spinning by so fast in a whirlwind of family, friends, work, home and lots and lots of other things that seem to keep me busy and away from my blogging.

But, anyway, here I am right now and I am ALL yours, ready to give you Kitten Stitching and the Friday Frolics updates for my Twentieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-second Frolics for 2017.

Twentieth Frolic: Friday, May 26th:

For my Twentieth Frolic, I picked up this gorgeous WIP, "Peas and Qs" by The Cricket Collection.  

 Now, I cannot find any record on my main blog, Kitten Stitching, of when I started this gorgeous design and you can see from the photo below that I didn't get very far when I did start it (oh, I am so very easily distracted by other stitching!).

But for FF, I did manage to get a bit more stitched and a bit more colour into the design - I cannot wait to get back to this piece one day very soon. (The fabric is a much prettier green than this photo shows, I must say.)

This is a better picture of what this lovely design will look like once finished (in a year or two at the rate I go with focusing on one piece!)

Twenty-first Frolic: Friday, June 2nd:

For my Twenty-first Frolic, I picked up The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery's "The Twelve Days of Christmas", which I am stitching for the Christmas Ornie SAL blog.  For June, I needed to finish Six Geese-a-layin'. I am quite happy with how this month turned out.

The piece so far.....

Twenty-second Frolic: Friday, June 9th:

For my Twenty-second Frolic, I picked up Lizzie Kate's "A Very Scary SAL", which I last stitched on in April this year.

My re-ordered WDW floss had finally come in at my local LNS, Lazy Daisy, so I was able to move on with my stitching of this piece.  This is where I got up to after my Friday evening of stitching.....

.... and then I stitched a bit more throughout the weekend and got up to here....

Feeling very happy to have revisited this particular piece again - I hope that I manage to get back to it again before year's end.

So, that's three weeks of Friday Frolics and here we are, nearly at Friday again!

I wonder which UFO I will choose to stitch on tomorrow?

Stay tuned!

hugs, Kaye

My Eleventh Frolic for 2017...

Oh dear, I am over a week late with my Eleventh Frolic and two days late for my Twelfth!  Oh well, you will get two post today! lol!

So, here goes on my Eleventh Frolic.....  Lizzie Kate's A Very Scary SAL, which I last posted about sometime in 2012!

Here is where I was up to.....

... and just a little bit of progress this time around.  I actually didn't get as much stitched as I would have liked as all of the specialty threads for this design seem to have migrated (or runaway from neglect) to other projects, so I have re-ordered them from my LNS, Lazy Daisy.

I will be quite excited to get them and get back into stitching on this design as I have nearly finished Part Two and there is only one more part after that.

hugs, Kaye

P.S. My Twelfth Frolic will be posted very soon, so please come back for a squiz!

Oooh, a week late FF post ... so sorry!

[Not sure why it has taken me a week to get around to posting this - I do apologise!]

Well, again I had to start my Friday Frolics and FNSI stitching on Thursday evening as last week TraderVic and I were going to HTC to see the first play of the season, which you can read about on my main blog here.

Thursday:
So, I randomly picked up this piece, which again I had started last year for DUCJFC.

This is where I left it last year:

                                

... and after a Friday night of stitching....

                                

So, now it is Friday again, here and I am off to choose another random UFO/WIP to work on tonight.

hugs, Kaye

Dream

I haven't stitched much lately and that's why I haven't posted here either.
Here's something I stitched for a friend who managed to fulfill her dream and enter the Art College.

I also stitched three little pieces for my key holder frames.

I am going to add a couple of flowers and hearts to those though!
All designs by Lizzie Kate found on pinterest as I don't have any of her patterns apart from one.

ABC Christmas...

... for this Friday Frolic, I picked up a WIP from earlier in the year, called ABC Christmas by Lizzie Kate.

This is what it looked like when I picked it up early Friday evening...

By the end of the evening I had finished the word "Poinsettia" and started on the "S" for "Snowman"....

I then worked on it intermittently over the weekend (interspersed with other SAL stitching) and I finished quite a bit more.

Psst!  Do you want to know a secret?  Of course you do!  See the three "snowflakes" under the snowman?  Well, that are not meant to be there at all!  Just above the "W" there was a tiny reddish-brown mark (possibly blood from a pricked finger) which I could not remove (as the floss is overdyed I didn't want to try washing the piece), so I came up with the bright idea (well, I hope it is a bright idea) of adding three snowflakes like the one at the end of the word.  What do you think?  Does it work okay?  I am pretty happy with my solution.

This was a great FF piece to work on this weekend and I can see that others have had fun on their WIPs, too.

Have a great week, everyone,

hugs,

Friday's Feelin' Festive!!

Here I am for my very first Friday Frolics post.... thanks Kaye for hosting such a great blog and coming up with great idea :o)

Last night I stitched on Lizzie Kate's "Feelin' Festive".  This is a project that I started back in January 2015 as part of my Crazy January stitching for Debbie's Ultimate Crazy January Challenge 2015 (DUCJC2015).  I am now trying to get this finished as my October entry for the Christmas Ornie SAL.  I am starting to get quite good at this multi-tasking stitching!!

Here he is - Lizzie Kate's "Feelin' Festive".

Last night I managed to stitch some more of the green word "feelin" before bed.  Hopefully by the end of the week it will be finished!

See you all again next week....  Til then happy stitching
hugs, Noni
