Woohoo! 1 page is done, 2 more to go.
I listened to more of my audiobook while stitching tonight, Play Dirty by Sandra Brown. Plus I watched yesterday's and today's episodes of General Hospital. Sad episodes.
a little about me, my stitching, TV shows and reading.
Woohoo! 1 page is done, 2 more to go.

I didn't realize that I hadn't blogged in over a week. Where have I been? Well stitching of course :-) I am not putting in any pics to share as I haven't taken any.
Last week I stitched on Rocky Mountain Christmas and then Sunday I pulled out LK Halloween Rules. I was stitching on Howl At The Moon and ran out of the CC Blackbird. So I am going to the LNS this Saturday. All week I have been stitching on HAED SK Sunny. I am hoping to finish page 1 tonight.
I was bad and broke my rule of not buying anymore charts til I finish everything that I have started. How could I pass up the 50% sale on Leap Day at HAED. I had to buy QS Genevieve. I saw her being stitch on another blog and fell in love with her. I also bought the mini Queen of Hearts. That is my favorite chart and I have the original chart which is about 36 pages. The mini is only 9 pages.
Reading wise I am doing pretty good. I finished Hemlock Bay by Catherin Coulter and started The Eleventh Hour by Catherin Coulter. I love this series. I am also listening to Play Dirty by Sandra Brown and am halfway through that.
I think that is about it for now. I am hoping to post a stitchy progress pic tonight.

I didn't stitch as much as I would have liked. Seems I was really tired this weekend and was asleep on the couch by 9pm both Friday and Saturday. That isn't like me at all. I usually go to bed around 11.
Anyways I did stitch a little bit on HAED SK Sunny. This is on 25 ct evenweave 1x1.

I finished Elizabeth's Designs A Colonial Garden. It was given to us at a retreat in March 2010. I only did the gate and a little bit of the wall, while there. I pulled this back out last week and finished it this afternoon. It is done on 30 ct weeks linen. I didn't care for this linen but then again I am not a big fan of linen.

I have promised some friends to post my bracelets.
This first one is the bracelet that my sister gave me for Christmas. I had to fix it as the charms were falling off and every time i put it on and off all the beads would fall off. So one bead night at Michaels and the instructor showed me what I needed to fix it. I love this bracelet.

I want to know which one of you sent that darned frog my way? That wasn't very nice at all. Actually I have never ever done what I did tonight. The letters of A Colonial Garden is what I had to frog. I am a little tired so I will blame that for my mistake. I actually backstitched the words on the wrong side of the project. Ok, I know it's funny but really, did you have to snort to? Well despite that, I still did pretty well tonight.

I had Justin pick a number for the next UFO to stitch on. Elizabeth's Designs A Colonial Garden was picked.
So tonight I pulled it out and worked on it.

I ended up going to the LNS in E. Rochester and bought red and pink things for a Valentines exchange. Scott was looking at all the nice scissors and saw a Dovo set of 3 in a beautiful leather case. So he asked how much it was. $275. He said that would make a nice gift for me. Hmmm wonder if he will ever buy it. Then I had to go grocery shopping. So we headed to Wegmans in Pittsford. We didn't make it inside. The parking was all the way into other parking lots and Scott hates crowds so we said forget it and headed back to Le Roy and Tops. Love Wegmans, not a fan of Tops.
Fixed pork chops for dinner with Scott's parents.
I stitched all day on The Pledge and so much closer to a finish.

Nothing exciting happening around here. I did sit and stitch while watching TV last night.

Hi everyone. I have been stitching, honest. Just didn't post last night. I did stitch some more on SamSarah Designs The 1892 Pledge. I am hoping to have it done this month.

I am really not complaining. But come on really? 54 on January 31? Is this how the winter is going to be or are we going to be in trouble in February and March?
I was just looking at Sunday night's post and had no idea that it came out like that with the pictures. I was having troubles with blogger and when I looked at the preview of my post the pics looked fine. I don't know what happened to them. There must be a gremlin in Blogger.
Last night and tonight I stitched on SamSarah Designs The 1892 Pledge. This was given at a retreat in March 2010, in Syracuse, NY. I am hoping to finish it in February.

Since I was home, sick yesterday. I rested all day on the couch. Pulled out my stitching and watched TV all day.
Christmas Angel is all stitched. Now I am just adding the beads. I am hoping to finish it on Saturday. I loved stitching her.

I started out not feeling well this week. A little bit of acid reflux. Then woke up wednesday morning with it really bad and sinus pressures so bad that my eyes hurt. Scott came home with pepcid ac, crackers and ginger ale. I already had ibuprofin and sudafed. Slept in til 10:30 and my sinus pressure wasn't as bad but this acid reflux is horrible. Just took my meds when I was supposed to.
Sat on the couch and stitched most of the day while watching TV.
The 25th of each month I pull out something Christmasy and this year I decided to stitch on it the whole week of the 25th. Christmas Angel by Joan Elliott had been a UFO and I pulled it out last year to work on it. The last time I shared a picture was either Oct or Nov. This is what I got done so far. The stitching itself is almost done and I do backstitching as I go along. But I have a lot of beads to ad to the dress and then there is a lot of holly and beads in the background.

I am all caught up on reading blogs and forums. Washed 3 loads of laundry and FINALLY finished organizing my specialty threads. I was almost done many months ago but decided today that it had to be DONE!
Then I sat down and stitched on LK Halloween Rules. I am only showing a portion of it because my batteries died in my camera. So I scanned this and it all doesn't fit on my scanner.

Yesterday started a morning of beading. My sister and mom came over and my sister wanted to learn how to make a bracelet. Her beads were gorgeous. Black and silver. Something you would pay $30 for and she made for $8. I repaired a bracelet that I had. No making anything for me lol. Mom just came to visit and watch :-)

This is the IHSW= International Hermit Stitching Weekend , and what a perfect weekend for that with the cold temps and snow.
My cowoker and I ordered lunch for our manager as her birthday was last week. We had pizza from Dominos which was very good. Scott picked me up from work. He had to go to Home Depot and then across the street is Michaels, where I had to go. So I bought a crimper tool. Then we went to Applebees.
I stitched on SamSarah Designs The 1892 Pledge. I also listened to some more of The Maze by Catherine Coulter. Then I watched Grimm.

We were in a Winter Advisory from 1pm-9pm. Not a lot of snow but the we had winds and with the snow it got nasty out for a short time.
I pulled out HAED Rapunzel so I could finish the 70 stitches for the row I was working on. I don't know when I will pull this out again.

I changed my mind on what I was going to stitch on and pulled out Waxing Moon Halloween Hang Ups. There are 3 designs in it so I started those.

I have been stitching, honestly. But I had to take a break from the CJC. I did stitch 2 more and then switched to a UFO over the weekend. I just did not want to stitch what I picked for day 13. So I put it back with what I chose for #14 and #15 and in its places I picked up something else. So starting tomorrow night you will find out what it is.
Anyways here is #11

Only 5 more days of this and then to my other pieces. All my CJCs will be stitched on Sundays. But only after I finish LK Halloween Rules.
So tonight I pulled out a kit from BeckySC, that she gave me several years ago. It is Mill Hill's Wacky Witch. This has been in my ro do pile since and am so thrilled to have finally pulled it out.
This is how far I got.
