Easter Treasure Hunt

 Jo is hosting this fun Blog Hop over at     Serendipitous Stitching                                .
We are supposed to post things that are Easter related or springy.
I looked through my stash and found this Mill Hill bead kit and stitched it up:

 I made it into a card to send off to someone. I wonder who?

I finally finished my spring panel for Tall Year Squared. The fabric is supposed to be a light purple.

The colors are really lovely and I enjoyed stitching this panel.

Here is your letter for the HOP!

Now hop on over to Needle, Pen & Sword for your next letter!

TUSAL for March

First, this is the Totally Useless Stitch-a-Long that is hosted by   Daffy Cat
 You take a photo of your container that you throw your left over threads/fibers.
I have a photo from March of last year:

What was I working on? I know it is more than one year of orts..
I emptied it in January and here it is now (with a very nosy kitty!):

Small SAL March

This is a stitch-a-long hosted by   Heather   . We are supposed to post at the end of the month any smalls we have completed.

Balthasar is all beaded and ready to finish! I need to pull the whole set out and finish them and figure out how to display them But Christmas is a while away...Right?
I have another small that I finished but it will have to wait a few more days!

Mill Hill Monday-A Day Late

I thought I would have more stitching time last week and would have something new to show, but car troubles and taking the youngest for a college visit ate up a lot of my stitching time. The upside of that was I was able to spend a lot of quality time with my husband and dd.
Here is my progress on my Mill Hill piece:

A little creepy at this point, but the colors are so much fun!

Today is Gifted Gorgeousness!

I had hoped to finish the last Magi, but it was not to be. But I have been stitching on a piece that I will eventually give away!
But before I go any further Jo at Serendipitous Stitching 
has this lovely stitch-a-long where you post things you have received as gifts, are stitching as gifts or has even the slightest thing to do with gifts! We all receive such lovely things from each other and it is fun to see what others are stitching.
Here is my piece:

A little too Halloweenie for me to keep, but I have several members of my family who would be happy to have this one or one of the others I have in my stash. And they are very bright and a fast stitch.
I am super busy the next few days and am having a difficult time finding stitching time for my large projects. Anyone else in my same boat? What do you do about it?

Work in Progress Winter

I was able to get this panel done for Tall Year Squared. The threads are lovely and the design is gorgeous, but I am ready for something else! Some of my other projects are calling my name. Hopefully I can get the next panel done quickly and move to a different project.

But I just realized I can't show progress reports of it because of Jo's Easter Blog Hop
It isn't until the end of the month and you can see if she still has room to join the fun!

Almost There

I don't like this photo, but it does show how close I am to a finish!

Just a few more beads and he is done! I think I found an idea for finishing all the pieces. Will have to do a little more research, but I hope it will be something I can use for other things too.
I have several pieces now that need to be FFO (is that Finally Finished Object?). I just need a day to do them. Does anyone one have a day to spare?
