WIP Wednesday 07/16/2014

Time certainly flies by! I am linking up with Pin Tangle again this week for Work In Progress (WIP) Wednesday. To see what other crafty folks are up to, I encourage you to check out the link above and follow the links in the comments.  You will not be disappointed.  Sharon shared some pictures and details from the hussif she is making and it is absolutely gorgeous!

I managed to stitch more than 200 x's on the Heaven and Earth Designs Freebie Santa and the Mouse I have been working on.  Last week, my husband decided to cheat and take a peek at the picture of the project.  The boys have not seen it though.  This week they were both able to guess there is a mouse and a present.  Mutt (my 14-year-old) wants me to work on the section beneath the mouse next, as he cannot guess what it is standing on. He also decided the present makes this look like it is a Christmas cross-stitch pattern.  Smart kid!

I did make a bit of progress on my CQI Winter/Christmas Wall Quilt.  However, as I only managed to pull all of the basting seams out, I decided it was not quite photo worthy.  I will have more to share on that next week.

Thanks for stopping by!
