Got puff done early today
Then decided to put together another flower cause my puff yesterday gave me enough .I really love these colors together. The yellow/ gold yarn is twisted sister yarn. I love that yarn.It has rayon and cotton in it. Like butter to work with.


Started my quilt cross stitch.Not a lot done but hand giving me fits so taking it slow.
Also spent way to much time deciding what color combo wanted to do for first block.lol

Some past projects found

Found this crocheted clown and crocheted bear I made my son when he was little. Wow I made these 22 years ago. Lol But they are cute.
Here is my puff for the day.


And still playing around with colors for quilt cross stitch project starting this Friday.
A friend of mine named Peggy gave me a box full of vintage silk and rope floss.(premier rayon,Royal society,J&P coats strandsheen,Glossilla) and others without tags. Had to iron them since they were in her bacement for years and some where her moms floss so they needed ironed.
I can't wait to work with these Rayon and silk flosses. I have been waiting for something special to use these on and think this is the one.

Bad dog/cat?

Daily puff need 2 more to complete gold flower.

Finished cross stitch for pin cushion and started sewing box cover. Half way thru the day I decided to give thumper a bath and buzz and left my cross stitch and pop on coffee table. Now that wouldn't be a problem but had a dumb moment and forgot I have 2 cats and 2 more dogs. So came back to work on and Whatttttttt! Pop all over cross stitch.
Now pixie is to small couldn't reach it. So it was eather cats or Brandi dog Gizmo. I can't prove it but I think I know who did it! Lol
So lesson learned
DONT LEAVE PROJECTS ON TABLE WITH POP AND ANIMALS.
Called buddy Delana and she helped me figure out how to clean. Most came out but Delana said that could always tea dye when done to give more antique look. Just might do that.

Got up early 4 am. Pixie wanted to play i guess so
got puff done for day.Now the little burger is asleep and I'm full of coffee. Lol
Then decided to start putting together some of puffs.
I was able to put 3 together and half of a forth flower.I need 3 more of the gold puffs to finish 4th flower.
I have more puffs done but not all go together color wise to put flowers together.
I just decided to do it this way. I'm gonna do puff in middle of each flower a color then all 6 puffs around it will be the same.Then I'm gonna border around puffs all the same color so that flower motifs stand out.
Not sure what color to border yet. But I have a lot of time to decide.Lol
I was gonna whip stitch all together but decided to join each corner of puffs. So note  to self ( weave in all ends after making each puff!!!!) Lmao
I didn't like weaving in all the ends while joining. Took much longer cause of ends.
Its noon and I'm gonna work on cross stitch pin cushion. Want to finish that bad boy today:)
I will post pic of that tomorrow.
