Freckled Whimsy: Lickety Stitch

Lickety Stitch

Quilting is my #1 hobby, hands down, but as a crafter, we all know we never just stick to one thing. Our creative minds just explode with ideas and, well, we just need to let that out or the world may come to a shortage of chocolate. Heh!

I am finding that my second crafty love is cross stitching. It all began with The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery and all their most adorable designs. I just couldn't resist. You can find their (Amanda and Ashleigh's) designs HERE and HERE.

It started with this...

Then my good friend, Heather, designed this spectacular Holiday Holly Deer so I tested the pattern for her. I love how it turned out!

Then The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery released their Woodland Sampler. It's only February and its already so full of cuteness! I can't wait to see what each month will bring! I am secretly hoping there are turtles, even though turtles are not traditionally in the woods... ;)

Here are a few shots of my progress with the sampler...

The start of something so sweet, even sugar can't touch it! :) #woodlandsampler #crossstitch #thefrostedpumpkinstitchery

One adorable little deer finished! So cute I can't stand it! :) #woodlandsampler #thefrostedpumpkinstitchery#crossstitch

Here is January all finished and full of cute!

January is done! Adorable little deer couple! #woodlandsampler #thefrostedpumpkinstitchery#crossstitch

..and on to February..

Progress! I've only had to rip out twice because I can't count! Heh! #woodlandsampler #thefrostedpumpkinstitchery

If you'd like to stitch along with the Woodland Sampler, you can sign up HERE for only $16.95 for the whole year! Even though it's February, you will still get Januarys pattern too. :)

What are you waiting for? Come join me?

Much Love!!!
