that's what friends do....

I have been helping my friend adjust to being home unable to walk or move much.  Her pain level has finally been smoothed out with the help of a timer. Her surgery on those broken bones went well.  So when her daughter is working, I try to be there for her.  So, I have been doing some stitching. Will get more finished up, and keep you up to date.  I have started two projects, and one was a complete disaster!!!  I thought I had matched two parts of a chart, only to find out they didn't match!!  If I hadn't been ill, I would have figured it out right away.  It was the center Santa from the 9 Santa Sampler kit.  I will just start over since I had so little done on the right part.
Here is one of my little "Just Nan" that I had forgotten about, and never finished.  I found the perfect fabric, and it is now all finished.  I just love those smalls!  The Running Rabbit was started, then I decided to dye the fabric.  Luckily, it turned out well.  My Happy Bluebird was almost finished...I didn't notice that I had forgotten a few stitches.  I found perfect fabric for the backing, so will be making them into little pillows.  I also did a freebie Christmas candy cane from the Primitive Hare.  It turned out great!!  I still have to make it into an ornament.  So here are the photos.

Happy Bluebird minus the charm which I have to sew on....

Before dying the fabric, and after....I used an aqua blue, and it was too dark, so used a little Ritz remove-it color.  Then it was just right.

That's all for today, I hope to get more projects stitched over this weekend!!  Happy stitching! Kathy
