This past weekend was the first in while that there were no dog show, no traveling and only a few errands to run. That meant I could finally spend the weekend doing almost nothing except stitch, stitch and stitch some more. Well, okay, I also did the laundry, vacuumed the house, changed the bedding and played with Rory. But I still had time for some serious stitching time and a sore butt from sitting to long. 
But all that lovely quiet time produced a finish. Except for recent exchanges I haven't had a finish for me in ages! So here it is in all it's glory! 
Lizzie Kate's Dog Lessons for People
stitched on 28 ct Linen (not sure which one)
used the recommended Weeks Dye and GAST
I also spent a bit of time on Hearts Left Behind and am on the home stretch with this one. With luck and another quiet weekend coming up I just may finish this too! So here are some photos of my progress on this one. 
I just love the colors of this one.
I just love the colors of this one.
And of course I have to leave you with a couple of photos of Rory. He has recently found more of poor Rosie, the kitty's toys. (She no longer has any that he hasn't chewed on!) He stole this one from the closet where it was because Rosie didn't play with it anymore. Well, he has gotten the little yellow ball out. (It is now in the trash!) 
Until next time..........
Love and stitches
Kathy
and licks from Rory too.

I thought I was the only one who got a sore butt from sitting too long, lol!
Congrats on your finish :)
Poor Rosie is probably saying, "Is nothing sacred around here??!"
Fantastic LK finish and love your wip too. Great pics of Rosie.x
Stitching is beautiful.
Gotta love that Rory!!!
Like the LK finish and the other piece is very nice as well. LOVE those pictures of Rory. Our dog used to play with my cat's old toys, guess they are fun for all types.
I love your Lizzie Kate finish -- looks like Rory does too! :D Love your WIP as well. Great pics of Rory. Funny that he's playing with the cat's toys. lol!
Wonderful finish, its always such a nice feeling to finish a large piece for yourself!

Wow ~ awesome finish, Kathy! It looks like Rory approves too!
Oooo and another close-to-finish stitch! You go girl!
Love your finish and your stitching! And Rory is just too fun.
Your Dog lessons came out great! I have this pattern I want to stitch for my friends. I, also, want to do the Cat Lessons too.. I really love the colors on the Hearts Left Behind. They are beautiful. I had to laugh when I read about the socks in your last post so adorable!
Wonderful finish ~ Congratulations and your WIP is really pretty, too! Love the colors in that one!
Rory is a beauty!
Hey Kathy, my cats lost their toys to the dogs long ago. Stitching is beautiful, must get both LK Cat & Dog Lessons. Rory is as handsome as ever.

Lovely stitching!! I'm glad you got a week without too many errands and you were able to get your "stitch therapy" in there! Rory is a scamp!! LOL *Hugs*
Really nice finish! I think that Rory likes it too:)
A fantastic finish! :)

Great finishes!

Such a cute, cute finish! And your Hearts Gone Home WIP is really, going to be beautiful Kathy!
My cats don't play with any of their toys...maybe I need to box them up and send them to Rory! LOL!
"Dog lessons" looks great Kathy. It is really such a pretty piece with wise words. "Hearts left behind" has the prettiest shades of pink. No wonder you have stitch ass. Well done. : ) Rory entertain's Rosie so much with his antics I am sure she does not mind sharing her toys. Hope this weekend is also a good one for you.

Congratulations on such a nice LK finish, Kathy. I'm sure it was nice to just have a weekend off and relax with Rory and your stitching!
Love your WIP--don't think I'd ever get tired of stitching with such pretty colors :)
Dog Lessons is a lovely finish! Good to see it has the Rory seal of approval.
Hearts left behind looks great.
Kathy it looks like Rory is reading the sampler! Love your pics as always. :)
Looks like Rory Loves the LK too.
This chart is on my to-do list. I love the colors in your WIP too.
Happy Stitchin!
Congrats on your finsih and i love your WIP:-)
I intend to get a sore stitching butt tomorrow, didn't get much chance today :-)
Great job on Dog lessons! It is a pretty piece. And your wip is lovely. Rory surely shares his toys with Rosie. I am sure she is entertained by his interest in her things. Glad to hear you got some much needed R&R.
Great pics of Rory, as always! :) Love the stitching pics, too. That Hearts Behind sampler is going to be a family heirloom.
Beautiful stitching! I love the Hearts left Behind sampler! I can't wait to see it finished.
Nothing quite as nice a stitching butt!!! Great finish and is just perfect for you. Your sampler is lovely and another couple of "nothing" weekends and you should get it done! Poor Rosie's toys......
ROFL - love that last shot! Poor Rosie - When Mya was here, all of her poor toys were "loved" a tad by our sweet Montana. Love, love the finish and I'm going to have to stitch that Left Behind - it's so gorgeous. I love it!
Lovely stitching AND adorable Rory, as usual. That WiP is just beautiful; and a nice sentiment, too.
Okay, dang it, Kathy!!! That is ADORABLE! Now I want to stitch one for my house. LOL
I didn't think it was possible to find another person who loves their dog as much as we do, but I see we are almost like twins. LOL
Rory and your other doggies are all gorgeous!
Poor Rosie. I know my Mom's cat loves that toy. Gee Rory, learn to share, lol!
Your L*K looks fabulous and I love the colors in your WIP.
I'm starting to read your blog but I can see how this pattern is just perfect.. Dog lessons for people ;) heheheh
