Happy St. Patrick's Day! This has always been one of my favorite days of the year. The wearing of the green, lucky shamrocks, shenanigans, and smiling Irish eyes! We actually used to find 4 leaf clovers in our front yard from time to time when I was a kid...and my Dad had the brightest blue eyes along with his lovely brown hair...and loved to tell stories full of blarney.
I was hoping to stitch a few St. Patrick's Day pieces this year, but this was the only one I managed. This is called Pot of Gold by Shannon Christine stitched on 32 count mystery fabric (tea dyed) over two. It was a freebie she included with a hunt for this pattern along with a hunt for discounts on her webpage. All ready to spruce up my mantle. It is a fun stitch! Hopefully next year I can display a few more! Wish me luck! (Pun intended!)
It was a rather subdued weekend, so I got a few stitches in and even started something new! Here is where I left off with Romantic Stitcher...
And then I started the new Soed Idee SAL, I'm calling it Red Quaker. I love the motif I finished, and this alphabet is really pretty! I'll be working on this off and on when I finish my required Romantic Stitcher stitches. I'm stitching this on 28 count Antique Ivory over one using Cranberry Belle Soie silk floss. I'm loving it so far!! This is a free SAL from the Soed Idee website, they are already on part 6 which comes out on Saturdays. I'm so far behind but hoping I catch up before the SAL is over. Here is the webpage where the pattern can be found. Soed Idee Red Quaker
Later Sunday night the kids came over for dinner. They always bring so much excitement! Mike and Miss Sassy Pants had a little Karaoke to Let it Go and You're Welcome....so cute and so funny! Neither of them can sing too well at this point...lol...but I loved every second of it! Poor little Miss Q wasn't having a good day...poor little mite, but hopefully she'll have a better day when I have her here tomorrow. I love the days with the grands, though they usually wipe me out! I can't believe she's 4 months old already! I'll leave you with a little Irish Blessing. I would love to chart this out one day...
I hope you all have a great day! Happy Stitching!
