Cross Stitch
St. Patrick’s Day is this week ~ YAYYYY! Okay, perhaps we get a little too excited about it in my house. But it’s fun and the kids get to celebrate the smidgen of Irish that they have in their heritage.
“Luck and more luck, luck, lucky, luck, Happy St. Patrick’s Day.”
Model for Uber Shamrock stitched on 18 count Mountain Mist linen using Weeks Dye Works & DMC. (DMC alternatives are given for the WDW if you want to stitch in all DMC) Stitch count 97W x 119H.

I don’t know about you but I’m ready for some spring weather to make an appearance. I was looking for spring themed cross stitch patterns and I came across this adorable chart from La D Da.

Tomorrow is my youngest son’s 12th birthday, so instead of focusing on Valentine’s Day cross stitch designs this week I’ve been looking at birthday designs. Aside from birth samplers the selection is limited. But I found this super cute Lizzie-Kate design called Birthday Blessings.
Now I’m off to go shopping for birthday cake supplies to make the triple-chocolate cake he requested I make…. hopefully I can get some stitching done while the cake is in the oven later tonight.
Happy Stitching (and happy birthday too!)
