Back to Blogging

I have noticed a trend in people heading back to blogging.  I love it!  I miss blogging but have found it difficult because the easiest place to blog is on my pc and I am rarely home to use it.  Life has been busy.  We now have chickens that we have added to the madness.  The hens are sweet but the roosters make me crazy.

I have been stitching on and off.  I am trying to work through my WIPs but get bored pretty quickly so I end up putting my stitching down.  Here is what is in rotation
Miss Baxters House by Stacy Nash

Valentine Quaker by Stickiden Von Wiehenburg

His Eye is on the Sparrow by Heartstring Samplery

Would love to know what you are working on.  Have you joined any SAL??  I haven't.  I have too many started so I am trying to work through them instead of starting new.  I finished stitching a Chessie club piece and Purple Thread class.  They are on the finishing table so I will post the final result soon.  Hope you have a wonderful day and Happy Stitching!

What lovely works in progress you shared! I like the Valentine Quaker. Very interesting addition with the chickens! Have a fabulous weekend!

I really like the ring that you have your floss bobbins on. Your projects are all very pretty. I hope you find your stitching mojo again. It would be a shame to let them linger.

You have some wonderful projects started. The one with the chickens is just right for the addition of your new chickens. I love anything Quaker, I will have to look that one up. I'm going to start Plum Street's Ghoultide Welcome soon. I know a bit out of season but I love it and want it done by next Fall.

Valentine's Quaker is so pretty!

What a nice selection of pieces! I especially like Valentine Quaker. By the looks of the other comments, it is a popular piece.

I love the chickens! All beautiful works in progress! I'm currently working on Yuletide Welcome and I did join the Joyful World monthly SAL but am playing catch up and am on February.

Nice to see you blogging again. Some of us have never been away LOL. There are lots of new bloggers joining us all the time, if you check out my Gifted Gorgeousness post you'll soon see who is active!
I love your Valentine Quaker, such lovely colours. I'm also stitching a Quaker right now.

Oh wow. I really, really like the colors for the Valentine Quaker.
How do the dogs like the chickens?

Welcome back...great to read your blog again.

It's lovely to see a post from you, Nataly. I too have recently made a blogging comeback! Like you, I find the easiest way to post is using our PC or my husband's laptop. Using Blogger on the ipad is just impossible. I am going to try and stitch an ornie a month for my Christmas tree. I have also ordered Lizzie Kate's Mystery Christmas sampler from a couple of years ago. I love it and I'm hoping it will encourage me to get stitching again!

Nice to see you and so many others back to blogging, Nataly! Love the chickens--my brother has some, too, and I really enjoy watching them. There are six of them and he has named all of them "Brenda!"

Lovely stitching and projects!

Welcome back to blogland, Nataly! Beautiful WIPs :D

Welcome back! I am inspired by all of your projects... the colors are lovely! I have the Valentine Sampler, languishing, not started yet. Did you go with the charted colors? It is a lovely combination. The Stacy Nash and Heartstring Samplery projects are going great too! I hope you enjoy the stitching... it all looks good! I did join two SALs... one is a FB group called Jardin Prive Sampler au Bouquet SAL 2016, and a 'one small finish a month' in a cross stitching FB group, for which I am doing LHN's Sheep Virtues. I may stay on track, you never know! Hugs!

Welcome back to blogging! Your projects are lovely. I am back to blogging too and have picked up my Anniversaries of the Heart and am on the 6th block which is Farm House. I'm enjoying it!

I'm happy to see that people are back to blogging as I'm new at it, I love seeing others works and finding new patterns that I have to have, your Valentine Quaker is one I have to have. It's a beauty and I never stitched anything like that. Mary
