Strawberry time!

So this little cutie is hanging on the kitchen bar.  As you can see I have a strawberry and creamer set-and a strawberry teapot.  This actually turned out smaller than I planned but I still like it!

Embroidery finished!

Boy is this picture washed out!  Anyway, I figured I better finish the little bits of embroidery left before I lose this again.  I stitched on his face and the two pumpkin stems.  I better think about how to quilt this  so I can enjoy it this coming fall!

Berry time

I decided I need a mini strawberry quilt to go with my strawberry teapot.  The picture on the left shows a really small start.  I cut the fabric at 1 inch for that one.  I then cut the second one at 1.5 inches.  So I'll see how big these end up!

Found!

 I may be losing my mind a bit.  I found my Pumpkin Headed Scarecrow quilt that was missing.  Guess where it was?  It was quietly hanging on a hanger with my other Quilts In Progress.  And I had unpacked my zipper pouch that went with it because all I had left to stitch was the dern face.  *sigh* I despair of myself.  I'll post a pic here after I get the face stitched on.

At least I think this is the last of the MIA projects.  I think. . .

Updated block pics

 I haven't been keeping up with my block pictures.  I posted February's block but here are the rest:

This is April

This is January.

This is March.

This last one is the May block.  I cut it out Saturday and got up early this morning and stitched it together.

Why hexies?

 

I don't know why!  But I saw this mini charm pack and went to town this past weekend.  Have no idea what to do with them.  I'm short two hexies so I need to look around and see if they are stuck in my bag.  What to do what to do with them!

Niece socks

Completed May 7. 2025

Left sock is the Hermione pattern. Right socks is the Jeck pattern.

ETA: my niece loved them!

Two sides of the same sock

The yarn is Tofutsies which is a splitting blend of soy silk, superwash wool. Cotton and chitin. It is knit over 64 stitches in the Hermione pattern with my usual toe and heel. I found the pooling/flashing exasperating and tried several patterns trying to get it to stop. I am knitting the second sock in the Jeck pattern. I think my niece will be amused by the change in pattern.  I do not like this yarn both for the color issue as well as overall splittyness.
