Secondly, this Friday begins the first 2014 International Hermit Stitch Weekend, and I cannot think of a better way to enjoy my birthday than locking myself inside with my pile o' WIPs happily stitching away and listening to Audible or "watching" some Netflix while my needles ply the linen. :-)
If you're interested in joining me and my fellow hermits, click the link above and input your information on Joyce's blog post. The more the merrier!
Here's a pic I took a few days ago of my WIP of Lizzie Kate's "Hearts and Holly." I'm almost done with the third and final section. Here are parts one and two - I edited part two a bit in order to capitalize the word "Christmas." (I knew it would drive me batty with the lowercase "c" as it was charted.)
Happy stitching, and think about joining me and the other hermits this weekend!
Kevin that sounds like an amazing way to spend a birthday. Reading your description of how you stitch, that is exactly the same as me :D Including the "watching" Netflix.I have joined in on IHSW this weekend so here is hoping I actually manage to get some time to myself and put needle to fabric. Will probably work on my Autumn SAL piece, even though it is slowing driving me crazy at the moment. So Happy Birthday and I hope you have an awesome day and weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Kevin! Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!!!! Great stitching on the LK piece. She is one of my favourites but I love the alteration. It all looks really nice. Enjoy your stitching :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Sounds like a great weekend coming up!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Kevin, and happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a pretty good way to spend a birthday! I will be hermitting away too :)
ReplyDeleteYour holly and hearts looks great so far, I edited honor for honour for the same reason - it would bug me!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Kevin!! I would have capitalized it also. ;)
ReplyDeleteA very early Happy Birthday Kevin!!! "Hearts and Holly" looks so pretty I can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday dear friend! Remember that age is just a number....as long as we get older AND wiser......that's all that matters. Have a wonderful Birthday filled with stitching!
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could join you in the Hermit Stitch Weekend but I have weekend full of plans already...phooey. :) I do love the way you changed your 'C' in Christmas! Looks great! Happy Birthday and happy stitching!!

Happy Birthday Kevin, great job on your sampler. I hope to get lots of stitching done this weekend!! My fingers are itching!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday in advance! That Lizzie*Kate piece is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI sincerely LOVE your Mystery Sampler...the colors on yours looks so vibrant! And a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you dear man! May you have many more :)
ReplyDeleteAnd a hearty good luck on the stitch weekend!
Happy Birthday!! You have a great birthday weekend planned! Love the sampler and hope DH actually did get it for me for our anniversary (he was hinting that he had)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! A hermit weekend sounds awesome, especially in this nasty cold weather we're having. Love your finish!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very happy birthday and many more to come and lots off stitching time too!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY, KEVIN!! :D and Happy 1st IHSW!!! Looking forward to having your company. It's going to be a nice, cool, weekend for us here in FL (I see that you're in PB) and what better to snuggle in and stitch to some coffee?
ReplyDeleteLove the LK, and especially your change to "C" for Christmas. :D
Happy Hermitting!!
Happy Birthday Kevin!
ReplyDeleteYour Hearts and Holly is looking wonderful. I agree about the capital letter, it just didn't look right to me without it either
Happy Birthday to you, Kevin! Enjoy your last year with a 4! (But once there's a 5 you will see that there is no difference, lol).
ReplyDeleteAnd happy first hermitting weekend.
Happy birthday, my dear friend!!! Here's wishing a great hermitting weekend to celebrate! And yes, I totally get the capital C. Much much better!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you, Kevin--49 is young!! I just turned 59 yesterday :)
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching--definitely made the right move on capitalizing the "C!"
Happy Birthday! Christmas should have a capital C, I agree. Great progress, hope to see a finish soon.
ReplyDeleteA very Happy Birthday to you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Hope you had a great day. We're having another snowstorm here this weekend, so it's a perfect weekend to be a hermit! Have a great weekend!
