Hi Tywanna here and TGIF! 

It is so cold in Zebulon, North Carolina.  While it is cold outside, I have plenty of time to cross stitch inside.  I am taking a Hummel pattern and converting the colors to African-American, my first chart.  This pattern is turning out toooooo cute and he is adorable. 

Take a peek......

 

Lady in Red

This beautiful piece Lady in Red was cross stitched by my mother, Alice.  She is now cross stitching Lady in Yellow.

 

Doc Hudson from the Cars Movie

I have finished Doc Hudson and will be mailing it out today to be one of the cross stitch pieces applied to Thomas R's quilt for Cole's Quilt.  I loved seeing this piece come alive on the fabric.  It came out better than I thought.  I hope Thomas and his family enjoy his special quilt for years to come.  The joy of giving to a cause like this is a blessing for me. 

It is so funny, my significant other "Marv" saw a picture of this piece on my Facebook page and said "Tywanna, Doc Hudson is not straight."  I had to chuckle and told him the words were straight, it is because of the way I had the fabric laying when I took the picture. 

Come back to check out my other stitching project I am working on.  Love some stitching!


 

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

And I hope it is gone.  Goodbye Snow!  I enjoyed my three days off, lounging around, watching tv and cross stitching Doc Hudson.  This piece is turning out quite beautifully. 

I believe Doc Hudson is a Chevy!

Doc Hudson

It is a cold rainy day in Zebulon North Carolina.  Over the weekend I stitched on Doc Hudson.  1/2 done and another 1/2 to finish.

 

Doc Hudson for Thomas R.

I am midway with Doc Hudson for Thomas R.  Since God has given me the gift of cross stitching, I love to give back to different organizations or nonprofit groups, such as Cole's Quilt (providing cross stitch quilts of love to children with spinal muscular atrophy).

 

Wintry Mix

Here in North Carolina we had a wintry mix last week that lingered around for one day. 

Now our forecast for North Carolina is calling for a wintry blast today at 12:00 noon 2-4 inches.  Be nice if Mother Nature has a change of heart.
