March TUSAL...

Happy Thursday!
I know I am a day late with my TUSAL update, but yesterday was just too crazy and I didn't have any time to get near my computer.

So, on to my ORT jar...

...and a close up of all the ORTs...
...lots and lots of pretty colors!

And on to my stitching progress...
...my ornaments...
 -Halloween-

My little pumpkin is coming along!
(I can't wait for it to be finished.)

-Christmas-

I'm sure by now you can guess what my ornament is going to be...

And no update would be complete, without Star Wars progress...

Two more characters done...
...that means, only 5 left!

Here's a picture of the whole piece...
Can't believe I am so close to finishing it!

Oh and I have new stash to show off...
I have a really cute series of three patterns that I want to work on next and bought very pretty Aida cloth for them.
(I was inspired to add some color to my cloth choices, after seeing all the amazing colors that other bloggers use for their stitching.)

And before I sign off for the night, I thought I would share a couple animal pictures (this blog is supposed to be about my furry friends, too)...
-Ziva-

And our dog, Reese...
(She's enjoying her new doggie bed.)

Just a couple more things...
1) I have been trying to reply to comments by email.  I hope it is working correctly...
I may still reply on my blog, but I will try to do better with email replies.
And...
2) I joined the cross stitch/Instagram craze...
You can find me on Instagram at craftingpaws

Well, I am off to help my son study for a science test.
Hope everyone has a great Friday!

  2. Lovely work on all your pieces this week. So close to the Star Wars finish too!
    I really like using different coloured fabrics for my projects.

  3. Lovely progress Carrie. Glad you have moved onto using coloured fabric. I very rarely use white/cream fabric anymore and am now addicted to overdyed fabrics from sewitall.com. Yes, they are more expensive but they are lovely to work with and provide gorgeous backgrounds! :)
