July IHSW

I wish I could say this was an awesome weekend to hermit up and stitch, but I can't. I had too many things going on and failed miserably.

I did spend a tiny bit of time on my Mario Blanket.

I finished up "Gooba's Shoe" last week (I'll post on it later this week), and my son chose the hammer suit for me to crochet next.

I only have a teeny pattern to show the finished look. I hope you can see it:

I hope you guys made some great progress this past weekend. I'm looking forward to making the rounds and reading what you are up to.

I feel like the luckiest stitcher on the planet right now. I've been very fortunate to win a few giveaways in the last couple of weeks.

First was Lesleyanne's biscornu kit giveaway to which she added some really awesome charts.

The Diamond Flower Biscornu kit is from Yiotas XStitch. The kit includes the cross stitch pattern, instructions, 14 count aida, threads, buttons, beads and filling for the biscornu.

I'm really excited as I've never stitched a biscornu before!

Lesleyanne also included a few of the "All Dolled Up" ornaments of the month charts from Little House Needleworks. I love these!



She also included this gorgeous Country Cottage Needleworks chart called Home Sweet Home.

Then I won another huge giveaway from the super sweet The Crafty Princess: a $40 gift certificate to HAED! Awesome, right? I'm trying to be strong and wait until HAED has a sale so I can maximize my winnings. (Great idea, Alicia!)

I haven't purchased any charts yet, but I have a feeling it will look something like this:





There's also a good chance they will all be Hannah Lynn's.

And last but not least, I also won a .pdf of My Witch's Brew from Nancy at Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe.

I am so in love with that Halloween tree!

Thank you again so much ladies for the fabulous prizes. I can't wait to show you my progress and finished pieces.
