New from Prairie Schooler

Hi all-sorry it has been forever since I've updated you on the news-Beth and I have been crazy-busy trying to keep up with the mailorder, the web, ordering and the store-and it has been fun! There are tons of new goodies about to be released-and of course, this weekend is our annual Superbowl Sale! So I have been working like a dog (although my dogs don't work so hard-maybe I don't push them enough!!HAHA) to get items up today-and will again, tomorrow-so there will be lots to choose! The sale is from 12 noon until 4PM --20% off all but Dazor lights, DMC floss-we don't take framing in on Sunday either-other that that it's all up for grabs! Even the items that haven't made it to our shop yet!

Well, the above are new from Prairie Schooler and my favorite is As the Crow Flies-I think I will take it and use some overdyed floss like I did with Christmas Eve-that is when I finish up one of my challenge pieces-am back to Sampler Roundy and want to finish before Sunday so as to get it in one of our new round black boxes--stay tuned! The challenge is going extremely well-in fact I would highly recommend it--

Well, off to make dinner for my hard-working dogs!! New pics of them as well!!

Hope to see you (or hear from you) on Sunday!

Okay...okay

Hi all-Okay I've have been accused of switching up my order of projects in my challenge and, in a world of many that don't take responsibility, I am here to say, yes, I am guilty. But to be fair I am being accused by someone that would not even try the challenge. Furthermore, I am staying within the confines of my list-I have not deviated to other projects. In fact, I have stayed the course of the three days per project. So I say to my buddy Beth, bring it!

The first two above are coming from Amy Brueken and the third a sneak preview from Lizzie Kate-a Spring Alphabet...

Hope you all are good-not too sick of this weird January weather-I kind of like it but don't want to let my sunny weather loving friend, Beth know-so don't tell her I said--

Take care and enjoy this fabulous stitching weather!!

Molly

PS Sad we won't have stitching tonight-but after a bad accident on black ice I will be just fine with Mr Miley on my lap tonight!

Update on my projects

Above-A Bird in Hand La D Da

The Perfect Tree- Chessie and Me

Sewing Bird Pinkeep-Country Stitches

Jenny Bean Friendship Sampler-Shakespeare's Peddler

Hi all-A few pics of my challenge pieces-I had to change the order a bit as my Jenny Friendship Sampler is on display at the shop ( a Jenny Bean and Friends display)...but I am working away!! Have a great weekend-stay warm!! Keep your critters warm too! xoxo

Hi all-Am having a blast with the stitching challenge-I started stitching La D Da's Bird in Hand and now on to Country Stitches Sewing Bird--Each project is so much fun and how I am looking forward to getting back to them-it's interesting that knowing I only have the three days on each makes me want to get a bit of time of them each night!

We are now waiting for another winter storm here-maybe a chance to get in some stitching !!

Hope all is good with all of you-Little House has previewed the first ornament of the year-let us know if you want to be on our list-I already love the first one! Plus I love the new sampler she has debuted(neither one is here yet but we are hoping soon!)! Also new is the Love-Filled Heart from Country Stitches!

Thanks for stopping by and catching up-let me know how your challenges are coming--I will get more pictures of mine up soon!

Molly

Happy New Year-Project One

Well hello 2011! And so long to 2010!! I hope you all had good days over your holiday time-mine went very quickly-and back home I was! But how good it was to be back in my bed with my pups!! Their Grammy got them warm and fuzzy presents-one being a couch cover that we opened last night-never saw so much rolling around!!

I have completed days One, Two and Three on my first project-and I have posted a picture-I have also decided to include four projects I have started-so I will have to delete four and insert these four---

1. Sampler Roundy

2. Bird in Hand

3. Jenny Bean Friendship Sampler

4. Sewing Bird Pinkeep

5. Green Snowman

6. ABC Hornbook Primitive Needle

7. Frosty Flake

8. Perfect Tree Chessie and Me

9. With My Needle Quaker Sampling III over one

10. Cricket Collection 299 Picture Perfect adapted into a birth sampler for my great niece Molly Jane-her first birthday is in April!

I have included a picture of my progress on Project #1-it is over one and I have, of course, changed the colors-now I must move on to Project #2 but will look forward to getting back to #1 (the point really! This is already keeping me constantly interested!)

Thank you to all that sent comments along--and let me know how your challenges are going!

Molly xoxo

My Ten Projects

I'm still working out the kinks but have narrowed my list down to what I believe will be my ten projects! Thank you to all of you that left comments-it is interesting to hear what everyone is attempting-My buddy Beth has already dropped out before she has even gotten to "START"...I know she thinks me foolish, ridiculous, perhaps even delusional...but I am always up for something new...so here goes-it may change by tomorrow---

1. Sampler Roundy by Shakespeare's Peddler-to fit into the new round box we just received-so 28 over 1

2. A Bird in Hand by La D Da-We have this stitched as a model here at the shop-I am going to try a couple of different colors

3. To Everything by The Drawn Thread

4. Sewing Bird Pinkeep by WTN/CTS

5. Green Snowman by Shepherd's Bush

6. Tombstone Spots by Primitive Needle

7. Frosty Flakes by Little House

8.Scarlet's Christmas by Chessie and Me or another Chessie and me-The Perfect Tree-still deciding on this one!

9. Autumn at Hawk Run Hollow by Carriage House

10. Bit of Merriment by Erica Michaels

Well--now to put all of these fun projects together! Keep me posted on how your challenges progress-until we meet again, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas-make sure you take time for yourselves-

See you soon-xoxo Molly

Now many I need to figure floss, fabric etc...so details will follow---

Molly's Challenge

Okay, so I've heard about and read about lots of different stitching challenges-many too unstructured for the likes of me. So after much mulling and stewing I have created my own challenge-anyone up for it? Well, read on and try it out!
Pick 10 new projects for 2011-kit them up--get 'em ready! The first project I shall work on during days 1-3 of each month.
Project 2-Stitch days 4-6 of each month.
Project 3-Stitch days 7-9...
Project 4- days 10, 11 and 12.
ETC
So you see the pattern...now granted certain months (ie February) project 10 will get gypped--so project 10 should be an easy one...
Okay, now to pick 10 projects...I will be posting my list-let me know what challenges you are trying or what projects you are going to pick...or what you think of this idea!
Hope all is good with you all and hope you are not overdoing too much!
xoxo Molly
