I was very excited to log into Blogger today to find that I had gained a follower & received a comment! lol Thank you Daffycat for your comment on my first post. I enjoyed following your progress on Crabby Year, a very cool piece!
Here is a new picture of my Lizzie Kate piece with the buttons and framed.
And here is a picture of my progress on Singin' the Wash Line Blues. I started this one last Sunday, but have not been able to work on it the past few days. All of the stitches are 1/2 stitches done with 6 strands of floss.
Sorry the fabric is wrinkled and a little crooked, I just couldn't get a good pic.
Nick
Oh, Nick, your Lizzie*Kate looks AWESOME! It makes me want to stitch it now!
ReplyDeleteBlues looks really cool. I've never done one that is in all half stitch. I'm thinking they call it tent stitch? I'll be looking forward to seeing more of this!
That LK looks great!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland! Great job on the L*K monthly series!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of blogging. Your Lizzie Kate looks great!
ReplyDeleteOops, I was suppose to tell you Daffycat sent me! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the land of stitcher blogging. Love your LizzieKate. Oh, and DaffyCat sent me.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogging!
ReplyDeleteI love the LK. It looks so awesome framed! :)
And I like the Blues piece too. I haven't seen that one before.
Welcome to blogging! Your Lizzie Kate looks lovely! DaffyCat sent me too, with the link that she posted on her blog... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nick,Your pieces look great. One of the pieces I am working on at the moment is Northern Lights and it had a lot of half stitches . The wolf head seen it the sky is all half stitches. I am looking forward to seeing your progress on Blues. And of course Daffycat sent me too.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland :) Love your LK flip finish, this one is on my stitching list too! I'm also a friend of Daffycat so please feel free to drop by my blog for a visit too!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogger-dom!! What a great way to start your blog - love the LK finish! Wow - your needles must be smokin' 'cause you finished that very quickly! I'm more of a "snail-type" stitcher - I couldn't stitch fast if I had to, but I'm working on it!
ReplyDeleteI just love your blue piece!! I can't wait to watch your progress!
Now, about that Michigan business - I was born in Ohio, so we may have a bit of a "diss" when football season rolls around...but I think we can still be friends, right?? LOL I live in Florida now and LOVE my Gators, so we'll patch up just fine, I'm sure! :)
Again, welcome!
How great Nick , that you started your own blog! My husband stitches as well. He doesn't have his own blog, but I occassionally post his stuff on mine. There are a few of you male stitchers out there , and gaining some ground too! Love the Lizzie Kate, you did a great job! Can't wait to see more progress on your new piece.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland Nick! Your LK piece looks fabulous, you are a very speedy stitcher. Washline Blues is going to be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to another thing you will get addicted too....blogging and reading stitching blogs!! You can forget about stitching and just read blogs daily so be careful lol
ReplyDeletecome visit me at my blog and I also have a few more one that contains a lot of the stitching blogs almost 700 now lol I'm addicted to finding new blogs for my list so I will be adding you... Take care and happy stitching!
Welcome to blogging!
ReplyDeleteLove the L*K. The colours are so nice and bright.
You're a trooper with the Washing Line piece. All those blended fibres...requires too much patience for me!
Congratluations on your LK finish. That is quite the accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteLove your Washing Line stitch.
Welcome to blogland. There's nothing wrong with a guy who stitches, I know two male stitchers (in their 30s) who have stitched in the past.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your Singing the washing line blues progress, it's a gorgeous design.
I was visiting Daffycat's blog and she told me to go here, so of course - being the sheep that I am - I did. And I'm glad I did, because your LK finish is to die for! Ooh, and the birdies on the wash line are so cute! Those are some gorgeous blues you're using.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see another guy in blogland. I got the stitchy bug from my Dad :o))
Hi Nick, welcome to blogging. Great finish on the LK. Looking forward to seeing the washing line fill up (now there's something I never thought I'd see myself type!)
ReplyDeleteYour framed LK piece is absolutely gorgeous! I can hardly believe you stitched it in only one month time. Amazing!
ReplyDeletei am looking forward to seeing the progress on the washing line project.
Hi Nick :-) I followed everyone over from Daffys blog. Congratulation on such a wonderful finish with your L*K piece, it's fab. Washline blues is coming along nicely. I look forward to seeing more of it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on starting a new blog. You'll be addicted to blogging shortly most likely. The LK piece is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi and welcome to blogland. Its great to see another guy out there enjoying this great hobby.
ReplyDeleteI also love PS and Lizzie Kate designs along with some others. Drop by my blog anytime, have fun in blogland.
Happy stitching

Go blue!!! LoL Hiya Nick. Welcome to the blog world. Can't wait to see more pictures of your Singin' in the wash. Your Lizzy Kate looks great framed also!
Hey, welcome to blogging! It's always great to see guys who also cross stitch & blog!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland Nick! I definitely have to follow someone who love U of M football. We're avid fans here (and DS hopes to go there in a couple years). It will be fun to watch your progress with your stitching!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland! Love the Lizzie kate piece. You did a great job on it.
ReplyDeleteWho is the designer of the Wash line Blues piece?
Even though I'm a Badger fan, I have to admit,you do really great work! Your Mom did a good job teaching you. Looking forward to seeing more finishes.
ReplyDeleteWelkom to blogland!!! Your L*K looks great...Thanks to Daffycat,I found you, love to see om of your work...
ReplyDeleteLike you, I just discovered the world of cross stitching blogs just recently. I haven't yet jumped in myself, but I enjoy reading them. I'm also a fairly young cross stitcher, only 24. My family has always been very crafty, but cross stitch really is my crafty hobby of choice. My 18 year old brother knits!
ReplyDeleteYour Lizzie*Kate is wonderful. I'm definitely going to have to add that one to my wish list.
