Spring Fever!

The flowers are blooming and so instead of getting a lot of stitching done I am taking a lot of pictures.  Project 365 is not helping my picture problem, I am trying to take a picture a day to capture a year in pictures. 
So here are a few of my pictures

And this isn’t a flower but I baked this for a fundraiser isn’t it pretty?

So now I am going to stitch while watching the Oscars!

Update

The weather was very nice for February, this weekend so not a lot of stitching occurred but here are the latest pictures.

 

And the boyfriends

A view of Lake Marion from the dam

And a little inspiration from Michaels

Happy Stitching!

Sharing the joy of stitching

After months of watching me stitch, my  wonderful boyfriend decided that he wanted to cross stitch.  And he knew exactly what he wanted to stitch, the South Carolina Gamecock logo.  After several weeks, the pattern came in, we bought all of his supplies, and I taught him the basics.  He has been stitching for a total of two weeks now, and look at his progress………

 

   




The couple that stitches together stays together :)  He is really enjoying it, and already knows what he wants to do next! 
And yes I will be doing a Clemson Paw to combat his Gamecock ;)

February TUSAL

Giveaway from Clemson Girl

Clemson Girl has a great Lilly Pulitzer giveaway today!  Her sponsor is Razzberry Fizz, a great little gift shop in downtown Clemson.  Razzberry Fizz is gearing up for summer and graduation and has a lot of new inventory.  You can also check them out on Facebook.  I love their Clemson stuff, isn't this wreath adorable??

I will be posting about a craft project I am working on soon, I have to get some pictures taken

Worth a Thousand Words Wednesday

Up close

I have started the 365 project, in which you take a photo a day for a year.  There are some days when I struggle for what to take a picture of!  This happened to me last Thursday and as I was stitching my mind was turning over ideas, I thought why not take up close shots of my WIP??  Here are a few of the results of that idea

  My BF and I visited the State Museum over the weekend, that has been awhile since both of us have been there.  I remembered some of the exhibits, and there were some new things.  I thought it was neat that Clemson students built and flew their own airplane, the Clemson 372.  It is now in the State Museum.  How cool!

Just some other pictures from the Museum

Happy Stitching
