Another PEEP Show! 🐤

I wonder if this is what people think of when I tell them I'm going to the PEEP Show?!

I LOVE the dragon!

Showing the Maryland Peeps, specifically Baltimore!

And plenty more sweet pieces...

So many creative ones, can you pick a favourite?

Even Mia and Maverick turned into PEEPS!

This year Nathan brought a friend, so he was happy to go!

Sadly, the old banner has been retired.

Here's the new one. Meh, I like the old one!

I think I might get at least one more year out of him, maybe with more of his peeps?!

Easter Blog Hop 2024🐇

 Welcome to this year's Easter Blog Hop from Jo @ Serendipitous Stitching!

Be sure to start there to start collecting letters from the participating blogs to figure out the seasonal Easter phrase.

This is an oldie I made my parents back in 1988.

I think it was from a magazine? I liked it so much I had to make one for myself, I just have a different coloured frame.

I added another PEEP this year after going to the PEEPshow yesterday. It's the sherbet looking one in the bucket on the right.

I hope to have that fun post up this weekend!

I was certainly given the Perfect letter this year.

Here's a Pretty Pink PeeP bunny to show you!

Now hop along to get your next letter, which can be found with Elfie @Elfin Stitches.

Wishing you a blessed Easter. 

Thanks Jo, for another fun bunny hop through the blogs! 🥰

Fully Finished Gallery ~ April 2023 🖼

Welcome to Rachel's Fully Finished Gallery SAL for April. Be sure to have a look and see what others have finished this time!

This is the Joyful World SAL for April from Maja at The Snowflower Diaries. Finally finished and in my little shelf.

I've had this little sweet kitty stitched since last summer, but finally placed it on the box. It's a Margaret Sherry kitty, I changed the mug colour and made him look like Mr Finn. This is our future daughter-in-law C's graduation gift from getting her Masters, she can use it as a pen/pencil box at work or maybe even candy?!

The back of it, with some MORE purple!

You probably saw this for the blog hop, but it's another finish. I stitched the mini peeps on perforated paper and then added them to the white bunny I had stitched before. I guess I should have outlined that one, it's a little hard to see. Using light pink fabric might not have been a good idea.

Not cross stitch, but I did finish this for Gman1 and C - although this C is for our last name!

It's a hodgepodge of black and white photos of them, the engagement one too.

Not too bad, let's see what I can finish next time.

Now to catch up on some blog reading...

 

Easter Blog Hop 2023🐇

Welcome to the Easter Bunny Blog Hop from Jo @ Serendipitous Stitching!

Be sure to head there and start collecting letters from the participating blogs to figure out the seasonal Easter phrase.

I decided to add some little Peeps to my Peep collection. They certainly are multiplying!

(Give me a day or so and I'll be posting my visit to the Peep Show this year.)

Here's the letter you're looking for...

And the next blog to visit is back to where you started - Jo's blog!

Now I'm off to start the hop, I hope you've enjoyed it. Thanks, Jo, this is always something to look forward to!

Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop 2022 🐰

Welcome to Jo's annual Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop for 2022!

Please start there if you haven't already to begin collecting letters from the other participating blogs to put together the seasonal phrase.

I've added gnomes to my PEEP display this year, and then decided to stitch one to combine the two.

The fabric is actually a light green, but you can't really tell in the photo. He also looks like he's related to Cousin Itt from the Addams Family!

And here's what you've been looking for, the letter...

Now hop on over to Mary's blog, Le Coeur Celtique, for your next letter in the phrase.

We shall be spending Easter with my Dad this year, and honouring my Momma in her chapel on Easter morning.

Wishing you a blessed Easter this year.

Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop 🐇

Easter is a little early this year, but welcome to Jo @Serendipitous Stitching's annual Easter Treasure Hunt Blog Hop!

Please start there if you haven't already to begin collecting letters from the other blogs to put together the seasonal phrase.

This is an oldie from 1990 that I stitched for my parents, they have it up year round at their house. Although I barely remember stitching it and have no idea where I got the pattern.

Spring is certainly springing here, and along with it some rain, wind, small hail and even flurries yesterday. I don't know if it actually flurried here, but it did at my parents house! Crazy Maryland weather.

And here's the letter you're looking for...

Your next stop is with Cathy @The Stitching Grandma. Please head on over there to find out your next letter!

Have a blessed Easter, may it remind you that hope must never be lost, for as dark as the road may seem, there always lies light at the end of it.

Scavenger Photo Hunt, October 📷

 In spite of the rain yesterday and a bit of a dreary day today, I'm loving the fall! It's been cool, although a little too cold at times, but the colours sure have been beautiful. Now it's time for Katie and her I live, I love, I craft, I am me ... scavenger photo hunt.

The words for October are...

Sweet treat...

When the Gmen played football in high school, I used to make these mini pumpkin donuts for the team. Twelve dozen, every week for the season. Guess what Gman2 has asked for when he comes home for Nathan's birthday next month?!

Starts with a W...

Waterfall! Niagara Falls, Canadian side specifically.

We went to Canada to celebrate my 50th birthday several years ago and this was our first stop. Beautiful and VERY loud!

Reading now...

I started reading this when dear Tina gave this to me earlier in the year when she and Connie came over for a lunch visit. Sadly, I put it aside and haven't finished it yet! It is written by her Dad, about the radio ministry he started with his brother, which is 95.1 SHINE-FM, the radio station I listen to and volunteer at when I can.

Hobby/crafting...

Here's where the crafting starts, and sometimes finishes! In the midst of making masks and trying to frame long finished cross stitching, it can get busy in there.

This is a piece I finally framed, although I'm not really sure I like it. I might have to switch it out later for a bigger frame and add a mat or two.

Something Purple...

Whenever I think of purple I think of Lexi, it was her favourite colour. I've known Petr since we were in kindergarten, and Lexi was his precious daughter who died of cancer when she was eight. Every year they have a fundraiser, Laps for Lexi, where there is LOTS of purple! 

My own choice...

Ahh, roasted PEEPS on the fire, yummy goodness!!

Sadly there are no Halloween PEEPS this year due to Covid19, but there's always next year. They will have them at Easter though!

I realized I never finished reading and commenting on last month's hunt, so I'll be catching up on them when reading this one.

Please note, I try and respond to each comment but I can't when there's no email with your account. I do appreciate them though!

Until next month, Happy Halloween if you're a big kid like me!
