Raising the Baaaaa - another Sheepie Finish

Wow!  Sombody has already stitched Sheepie Farm and posted to her blog - Check out how Cucki stitched her farm - so cute and I spy another sheep guarding it too..

Nearly forgot to show you my latest Sheepie finish for 2011- The Year of the Sheep

If you take the definition of August to mean of regal bearing - that explains the crown and the robe.

And if anybody's counting individual sheep - I think this makes around 86 sheep stitched for the year...Will have to make a proper tally shortly...I wonder if I can complete a flock of 100 for the year?

Also - check out another freebie design from Linda on her blog: bits of floss - she's found a way to share Halloween down under!!

Giveaway, Halloween, Sheepies and a Freebie !!!

Firstly, let me share the news of a blogger's return to blogland - and the subseqent giveaway on her blog - Check out Terri's blog - she's my newest, bestest, blogging buddy.

How ready are you for Christmas???? - Me? - not at all, but I also realise that Halloween is creeping up on us all.. This weekend I've made a start on my Halloween Ornies - followers of my blog will remember my Halloween decorations from previous years.
I started with Long Spider - PIF from another message board - and will be send on another journey in the next week.  Stitched on a scrap of evenweave, using black DMC.  I couldn't but help sing The Who's 'Boris the Spider' all the time while stitching this.

I was also pointed towards The Primitive Hare's freebie Witch Home - something quick to stitch, will be finished up as a key fob or a decoration.  Took less than an hour to stitch, but I'm not in the mood to finish things today.
Today was a day for sheepies.

Some time back, I was asked if I was going to have a farm to hold all my sheepies together.  I thought about it and came up with a simple design.  I intended to have a sheepie stitch-a-long - but until I stitched it, was not going to release the chart to the unsuspecting public.....

I give you all :  bronnyb's Sheepie Farm -  by all means, leave me a message and your email address - and I'll send you a pdf of my design and leave you to stitch it on your own choice of fabric, floss and personalise it.  It's not too hard to fudge up a backstitch alphabet. 



So after a mammoth weekend of stitching - I'm nearly in the mood to start another couple of quick stitchy sayings - but they'd better involve sheep of some type....

Sheepie SAL anybody???

I've had a bit of a play and have come up with a small design (70x50), featuring - of all things - sheepies.

Would anybody out in blog-land be interested in a SAL???

Leave a message on this post and I'll see how many people are interested and then I'll work it out.

Thanks - baaa-ronny

Another finish hot off the hoops - surprise, surprise - it's another sheepie to add to the flock.

This one I found as another freebie on the webb and was looking for something quick to stitch to get back into the swing of things this week.  The original chart has the word 'beee' down the side, possibly because that is a translation of 'baaa' - so easy to change!

I have the feeling that this one will be made into a cushion - possibly as early as tomorrow!

My latest finish - Hot off the needle ! (not sheepish!)

A finish !   

It's NOT a sheep !!!

This is the second of the 7 snowman WIP's started on 31st December.

It's a freebie found Marika Belfiori's blog some time ago.  It was the only piece of stitching that was affected by the great house flood of Feb 11.  The ink from the printed chart bled onto the fabric, but not too badly.  I cannot get a good pic of the finish, but the fabric is a soft pinky lilac shade.  Once again, this will most likely be finished into a small wall hanging.
