4 WIPs

I had a pretty good stitching weekend. I was very tired on Friday so I kept falling asleep. I watched Dollhouse while stitching on Papa Bunny.

PaPa Bunny - Sweetheart Tree

Love, Peace, Joy, Quilt Sampler- Cross Country Stitching

June 2008 issue

Then Saturday I stitched some more on the Quilt Sampler and I watched Wanted. Very good movie.

Sweetheart Tree - Pumpkin - JCS Oct. 2009 issue

Halloween Pumpkin - Jeanette Douglas - JCS Oct. 2008 issue

Today I stitched on both of these. The first one would be done but I don't have the orange beads to finish it. The second one will be done next Sunday and has 2-3 more rows for it to be done. Today I watched Twilight , which was awesome. I also watched Desperate House wives, and oh yeah NASCAR.

too tired this weekend

I am Dreyx and I am posting for my mom. See she had a really hard day at work yesterday and I guess she couldn't handle it. I keep thinking I am way older than her in dog years so what is the problem?
Anyways she came home from work and said she was not going to cook dinner, well you know the father isn't going to cook anything so out came the wallet. Then they took off in that thing called the truck. I don't care what it is called but I am getting really tired of being left behind. Anyways, while I am at home they must have had a feast somewheres because they came home with a bucket full of food that smelled really good. Then I hear it is not for the dog. Well geesh no car ride and no food and they call us loyal? You should have heard the 3 cats meowing like they hadn't eaten in days. You should see one of those cats though. His stomach practically hits the ground when he walks.
Anyways mom filled this plastic tub up with water and set her feet in it , while stitching. Befor I knew it there were bubbles all over the floor. Now if I get water on the floor it isn't a pretty sight. So mom sat there stitching and relaxing while watching some TV show called Dollhouse. But I saw her head nod a couple of times, don't know where the needle was going at that point. I think she put in about 20 stitches and then told dad it was time to go to bed.
She plans on sitting on her butt all day today stitching and watching movies, and they call it a dog's life. I am sure she will post tomorrow all of her stitching accomplishments.

crazy days

yesterday I had the day off, from work. We knew it would be dead and I had to leave for a doctor's appointment so my manager said just take the day off. So I went to my doctors. Came home and spent a little time with Scott before he went to bed(he works the 3rd shift so sleeps during the day)
Dylan came home from school and we decided to clean out the cupboard with all the tupperware in it. Looks so much better. Then onto the pots and pans, lids and baking ware. That looks real good as well. I started working on my for sale trade blog. Then I watched The Secret Life of Bees, while stitching on the RR.

Today was nuts at work. We finally get a good amount of work to do and the power went off 3 times but the 3rd time it was out for an hour. Everything we do is all with electricity so we had to sit and wait it out. We still managed to get everything done in a timely fashion.

Came home and Dylan and I cleaned the bathroom. Straightend up in there. I worked some more on my new blog and then I did some floss organizing. I watched General Hospital and then tonights Lost. Stitched more on the RR. Oh and I also listend for about 30 minutes to The Quickie by james Patterson.

New blog

I am going through all my charts/kits and have a blog for selling/trading. I would rather do a trade.

stitching and finishing

Saturday I went grocery shopping with Scott. Came home and stitched a little bit on the Quilt sampler. Scott had the remote so we kind of just fell asleep watching junk.
Today was my finishing day. I had 2 more ornaments but didn't feel like pulling out the sewing machine. I also have a SB Spring to make into a pillow but need to get fabric for it. So I did 2 pinkeeps and a framed piece plus the March piece for the cork board.
This is our cat The Outsider. He kept meowing to go out. he is the only cat that we let out.
This is Rascal and thinks he owns the house. I have another cat but he was hiding. I also have a dog but for some reason as soon as I put the camera up to my face he runs into another room. Silly dog.

Pumpkin - The Sweetheart Tree
JCS October 2008 issue

Today I stitched on Pumpkin.

I also watched some TV:
DVD- Changeling - really good
DVR: General Hospital , Smallville, and Supernatural
tonight: Desperate Housewives

finishing weekend

anyone want to join me?



Karen- I loved Ghost Whisperer and last night episode was great. I was wondering where they were going to go with the Jim/Sam storyline.

Friday SAT finish

I finished this while doing my Friday night SAT(stitch a thon) I also watched Ghost Whisperer and Dollhouse.

Waxing Moon - Stars & Stripes Forever

10 count Hickory Heatherfield
weeks Dye works

I started reading Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult and I like it already.

the weekend is almost here

Still not busy at work. I left at 2 today. I also started listening to The Quickie by James Patterson. It is good already.
I watched general Hospital while winding floss on bobbins. Tonight I listened a little more of The Quickie and then I stitched while watching: Bones, Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice.

Nothing else going on here.

finished 2 books

Work was slow again today so I left at noon. Which was a good thing because Dylan had a doctor's appointment at 1:15 so i could take him. His poison ivy is not contagious because the patches on his skin is dry and not oily. He has a cream to put on it and has other meds that they gave him samples of. Plus 2 inhalers for his asthma. So $10 for the office visit and $60 for meds and I am broke.

While I was in the waiting room I was reading Key Lime Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke and had about 10 pages left to finish it so I did when I got home. Very cute book. It is a series and you should really read them in order.
I also knew that I could finish Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson. So I listened to that while stitching on the RR and that is finished. It was a good story and I gave it a 5/5. it is a little sappy and is a love story but I enjoyed it.

Next reads:
book - Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult
audio- The Quickie by James Patterson

Reading and stitching

well listening to an audiobook and stitching.
First it was not busy at work so I left at noon. I did start Sundays At Tiffany's, while at work.
I came home and got all caught up on BBs and blogs. That felt good. I had so many blogs that I didn't get to leave comments at all of them
I did a couple of loads of laundry. Watched 2 episodes of General Hospital while winding floss on bobbins.
Then out came my mp3 player and am over halfway through Sundays At Tiffany's by James Patterson. It is a quick read and caught my attention from the begining. There are 3 characters that really need to be slapped. I also was stitching on a RR. This one is Sylvia's with the Vermillion snowmen freebies from last year. I will not mention what month I am doing :-)

I want to thank Andrea. The bat charms that you sent me came in the mail and I love the beaded snowflake ornaments. They are so pretty.

Thanks to everyone who has been reading my blog and leaving comments, I appreciate you all.

I still need to have DS#2 draw a name for the giveaway. He has poison ivy so I don't get to close to him right now :-) I love him but I don't want it.

Reading ideas

from Books and Needlepoint. She has questions on her blog and is a cross stitcher. She gets credit for my ideas so here goes.

Musing Mondays:
Todays topic is New Authors. What is your policy when it comes to new authors? Do you feel comfortable purchasing a book or do you prefer to borrow new authors from the library? How often do you try out a new author?

I have no problem trying a new author and have even bought quite a few of their books and have been pleased.

Teaser Tuesdays:
Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Please avoid spoilers!

This is from Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson:
"The Casting agent said, "I floated the role past Ryan Gosling's agent , and she was very positive."
"My mother turned in the doorway, knowing every eye was on her."

playing catch up

I have been meaning to post all weekend but with all the heavy rain we were getting and the fog I either could not get online or kept getting disconnected while posting. So since I have been tossing and turning , in bed for an hour, I thought I would post while I could.


Thursday was a pretty good day at work. Came home and wound some more floss on bobbins, for about an hour. Then I listened to Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer while stitching on The Christmas Angel from one of The Cross Stitcher issues.
I also received my first Silkweaver fabric of the month. It is an 18x26 piece of 28 ct cashel linen called Raging Storm. I didn't take a pic though.

Friday I got a promotion to assistant manager and a raise. I was surprised and thankful for that. Came home and wanted to celebrate but DH had to go into work for OT so he couldn't go. Dylan and his girlfriend went with me and we decided on Mexican food so we went to Margarita's and had good food and fun. Came home and stitched on Waxing Moon's Star & Stripes Forever. I also watched Ghost Whisperer and Dollhouse. Then I finished listening to Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I did enjoy this audio and give it a 4 star rating. it would have gotten a 5 star but I think she dragged it out just a little to much.

Saturday Scott and I went to the Rez so he could get cigarettes and we stopped at Denny's for breakfast,mmmmm. I came home and did dishes and then took a nap. For some reason I was tired all day and didn't have the energy to do anything. I blame the crappy weather. Scott had been wanting Pan Pizza from Pizza Hut so I ordered and we took off to pick it up. A 20-25 minute drive away but oh so worth it :-) Then Scott fell asleep on the couch. I sat with his feet on my lap and read about 4 pages of Key Lime Pie Murder and then I fell asleep. 2 hours later I decided that we should just go to bed LOL. I did remember to move our clocks ahead.
Sunday was spent shopping. Justin and I have been wanting a wii and I wanted the wii fit. So Dylan and I took off and went to Best Buy and got it plus an extra controller and nunchuck(?) Then we went grocery shopping. Came home and set up the wii. I didn't even get to fit yet. We were boxing as it came with the sports game. OMG what fun it was and what a workout as we used it intensely, the reason that I got the wii. I was winded and working up a sweat.
Started some laundry and read some emails til the internet went out again. Then I pulled out a Halloween chart. This is Pumpkin by Sweetheart Tree from the JCS October 2008 issue. I do not have a piece of gingham that it called for but I like this color. I also have to buy a package of beads for this and I am not going to get the charm for this as I don't think it needs it.
Tonight I watched most of Extreme Home Makeovers and then Justin and I watched Desperate Housewives.

I have a bookcross meeting tonight at Panera Bread and then will stitch on a RR , when I get home and watch all my shows tonight.

I think I am all caught up on my news and pics. This weeks audiobook is Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson. if I finish it I will start The Quickie by James Patterson.

Night Before Christmas

I finished some more of the verse and I stitched the moon and started the cuff of the stocking, but you can't see that because it is white.

While stitching I listened to Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I have 6 more chapters to listen to. I am hoping to finish breaking Dawn, tomorrow. I also watched Lost.

During my view of General Hospital I also wound more floss on bobbins. This is the only time during the week that i do this, is while watching my soap.

received an award

I was nominated for this award by Carolyn. Thank you so much, I feel very honored. As I read blogs there are so many that I cherish reading and learning from. Also everyone has been receiving awards so this is to anyone that I read and you haven't received an award, you are now nominated.

2 WIPs and answers to questions

Last night I stitched on Rocky Mountain Christmas , for 3 hours. So many color changes.
I watched General Hospital, 24 , Medium.

Tonight I stitched on Winter Queen and added some more white to it. I didn't get as much done as I wanted to. I listened to Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer.
Work was a little strained today. There is only 3 of us that work there and the supervisor has been out since the last Friday in January. She had surgery and came back yesterday. The owner showed up today and fired her. making the other lady the new supervisor. I was shocked that this happened and felt bad for her. So some new changes will be happening.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS:
Maren- Night Before Christmas is by Little Old Me Designs and I am not sure if you can get it as you have to be a member of her BB.

Danni's Thoughts - Quilt Sampler is a Jeremiah Junction from the Cross Country Stitcher June 2008 issue.

Craft-i-leigh - I always used aida til I got online in 1999 and found all the wonderful linens and evenweaves. I like evenweaves the best but I do stitch quite a bit on linen. Mostly 28 count but I do stitch on 32 count as well. evenweaves is monoco , jobelin. Linens I like cashel. Buy a piece and try it. I don't think you will go back to aida.

a WIP and a new finish

Yesterday I stitched a little bit on Quilt Sampler. I know I want this finished as a pillow but I don't know how to do a ruffled edge which I would love for this piece. I believe it will be a Christmas gift for my MIL.



This is Spooky Tree by Elizabeth Designs from the JCS October 2008 issue. I used Weeks Dye Works and Gentle Art Sampler Threads. The only thing that is missing are the 2 bat buttons that are supposed to be in the 2 top corners. I don't have them and didn't have anything in my stash that would work instead. So I will have to buy them

I also watch Horton Hears a Who (yes I still like children movies)
Nascar - congrats to Kyle Bush for the win

Friday night SAT

I stitch on Friday nights with Let's Stitch blog and with my stitching sisters Yahoo group. I decided to pull out Waxing Moon's Stars & Stripes Forever. This is all that I got accomplished.

organizing and rotation

I have about an hour left of stitching on the ornament for the exchange but found my eyelids closing tonight so will finish it tomorrow and then mail it on Saturday.

I got all the 600s of floss on bobbins and in the Jammers box. A few of them I had 10 of each. The 700s will take me a couple of weeks I think. That bag is really full and will fill one side of the Jammers box.

I have also changed my stitching rotation. I had to do it to make it easier for me. I love the Let's Stitch blog and haven't done the Friday night stitch a thon because I chose a big project. Work is usually busy on Fridays and I dreaded stitching that night. So now I am picking simple things that have been kitted up for years. So now my new rotation:
Mondays- alternate between Rocky Mountain Christmas and The Storyteller
Tuesdays - Mirabilia Winter Queen - when done then UFO Ice Angel
Wednesdays - Night Before Christmas - when done then will be UFO I Shall Wear Purple
Thursdays - The Christmas Angel
Fridays - cute, quicker pieces
Saturdays - Incentive pieces with Only One Ewe BB - Quilt Sampler , M Designs Halloween Tree
Sundays - Halloween designs

CW renewed some shows

for next season and I am happy to see that Smallville and Supernatural are 2 of them. They also will have a new series on called The Vampire Diaries and will be based a little bit on the Twilight series, woohoo!! I am so bad and I had already promised myself no new shows next season as I want to watch more movies. But how can I pass up on a series like that?

On the stitching front I am almost done with ornament for the exchange. I am half done listening to Braking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I am really enjoying this one.

Good evening

no pics to show as I am still stitching on an ornament , for an exchange. I have been watching TV and all night tonight I was listening to Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer.

I was awarded this award from Carolyn and I want to thank her. I appreciate it so much. I have met some great online friends and stitchers through blogging and have learned some great ideas and tips. Here is a description of this award:


These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbon's of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these kind writers. When you pass the award along please include these guidelines. Choose eight friends to share this with.

I can not just choose 8 and I have seen so many already have received this award that I will skip naming 8 people. If you have not received an award and you are a reader of my blog then please add yourself.

sitting in my pjs

I just got caught up on the blogs for the week and commented to a few of them.
Checked my banking online/ TV guide for the week so I know what shows are new and what are repeats or not on at all. I have laundry going and going to go check the lineup for Nascar race tonight. DH won money for the winner last week. Plan on stitching all day and watching movies, unless DH comes home and takes over the remote lol.

I have been stitching

I stitched some more on Night Before Christmas, Thursday night. I will be putting this away for a couple of weeks. This week is ornament week for me.
Thursday I also watched TV while stitching:
General Hospital
Supernatural - 2/5
The Beast 1/29
Bones
Grey's Anatomy
Private Practice

I have also been listening to Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer.

Today I went to Michael's to pick up more plastic bobbins and then to Walmart for Jammers boxes. I bought 6 packages of bobbins and 3 Jammers. That will keep me busy for a couple of weeks. I am almost doen winding all of the 5oo DMS on bobbins and then will put them in numerical order. These are all extra extra floss that I have and will fill a few Jammer boxes. But will be so much easier to find a color when I run out of my regular Jammer box that I use for all the WIPs and UFOs. That Jammer box has 1 of each DMC color in it and has the whole set. I still need to buy 3 clear bins for fabric. 1 for aida- I only use for ornaments and certain designs. I won't buy more when that is all gone. 1 bin for 28 ct and 1 bin for 32 ct. My beads and kreiniks are already organized and I should be ok with the overdyed flosses.

mouse night

Tonight I worked on the mouse in the upper left corner. it is such a huge piece that I can't get any closer so I will try to remember to take a pic of each side.
Today I watched:
General Hospital
Smallville 2/5
Lost

Night Before Christmas

I have been stitching on Night Before Christmas, for the past 2 nights.
While stitching I watched:
General Hospital 2/16 and 2/17
Medium 2/16
KyleXY 2/16
DVD: Jeff Dunham's Christmas Special- pretty funny

Today I also listened a little bit to Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer.

Quilt Sampler half done

I have been stitching away on this all week and accomplished quite a bit.
Today I watched General Hospital - 2/13, Ghost Whisperer - 2/6 and 2/13, Dollhouse, Nascar, and Desperate Housewives.
This week I need to work on a RR and an ornament for an exchange.

A Quilting I will go

well actually I didn't go anywheres except for the shows on TV and I do get into them. I stitched on this for a couple of hours tonight while watching General Hospital , last nights KyleXY, 2 Charlie Brown Valentines specials and 90210. I still have over 1/2 to do on this. but will continue to stitch on it til at least half of it is done. Then I will stitch a couple of pages of Night Before Christmas.
Thanks for all of you leaving comments. it means a lot to me.
Yesterday I finished Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer and tomorrow I will start Breaking Dawn. Then onto some James Patterson books.

Holiday FALs

This was my FAL weekend and I didn't start til today. I did shop for fabric yesterday and had it all pulled out but I couldn't get in the mood til today. There are 2 pieces missing. 1 needs to be framed, I have the frame and will sand it and paint it a lavender color. I have another piece to frame but I didn't have a frame to fit it so that will have to wait for another time. As you can see I have Halloween , Christmas and Valentine pieces here.

an exchange recieved

I received the from Melissa through the stitchingbloggers exchange board. This was the last exchange since the board is closing,. Thank you so much. I love the package.

Quilt sampler

I finished the little block on the top left. I think that the backstitching takes longer than the actual cross stitching. I am also doing this 1 over 1.
I watched General Hospital and 90210. I also listened to Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. I am about halfway through it.
Can't wait to stitch on this some more tomorrow night.

WIP pic

I stitched a couple of hours on this piece. It is my incentive piece with OnlyOneEwe BB. I am supposed to be done by February 14th. I will try to get as much done as possible.
I watched General Hospital, House, 24, and Medium.
Also today I listened to Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. I am enjoying it.

Night Before Christmas

I forgot to post a pic of this. I stitched on it Thursday.

I plan on changing my rotation this month. I am stitching on the Quilt sampler during the week since it was an incentive piece to be done by February 14. Then I will mostly stitch on Night Before Christmas as it is a SAL.

January ornament

I started this last weekend and finished it today. it is Santa's On His Way. It is by Rosie & Co. and from the JCS 2003 Christmas issue.

Christmas Angel progress

I stitched on her face tonight, while watching Lost and General Hospital.
I started to listen to Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. I am hooked on the series now.

lots of WIP and 2 finishes and a NEWS!!!

I have some good news but I am going to make you wait and read my progresses first. Now stop groaning and no you better not be scrolling down to read it. I knew you would, you just can't resist. LOL


Last Thursday I pulled out Night Before Christmas and worked on Santa in chimney. I just need to do the backstitching on it. That will get done tomorrow night.
LK Hoppy Easter is finished. Well not the way the chart shows it. I did this for my RR with the Belle's. My RR is Easter. I am using 2 pieces of fabric. 1 is for a bellpull and the other piece will be for a pillow.
Then Sunday I finished Brittercup's Trick or Kitty Treat. The pic came out darl but I think it is cute.
Monday night I stitched on Rocky Mountain Christmas by Marty Bell. I started this many years ago and love the piece but the changing of colors all the time is as bad as a TW.
Last night I stitched on Mirabilia's Winter Queen. I finished the 1 section, that was my goal. I can't wait to stitch on her again.

I am also thinking of changing my rotation. Quilt Sampler and Night Before Christmas are 2 SALs with 2 different groups and Quilt sampler is supposed to be done in February as part of an incentive. I do enjoy stitching on them. So I was thinking for february to stitch one week on the Quilt and then another week on Night Before Christmas and alternate the weeks. Then go back to daily rotations in March.
I started an ornament - JCS 2003 issue- Rosie & Co. - Santa's on His Way. I will finish it this weekend.

I finished the aaudiobook New Moon by Stephenie Meyer and I enjoyed it very much. I will be starting Eclipse, tonight.
We have been getting a lot of snow. We have been in snow warning from 10pm last night until 1am Thursday morning with a foot of snow when done. Roads have been horrible but schools didn't close because of state mid terms.

Ok so now for the good news. Are you ready?
JUSTIN DS#1 is on the Dean's List at college. I am so thrilled for him and so proud. We got the letter in the mail yesterday and he happened to be home. I handed him his mail and he opened it and the surprise and grin on his face was priceless. He started giggling and told me what it said. Way to go Justin!!!!!

Wednesday Rotation

I stitched on this today. Have this whole 1/4 section done except for the holly and beads. I will add them when i am all done cross stitching this piece. it is Christmas Angel by Joan Elliott from The Cross Stitcher December 1996 issue.

Season Premier of Lost was on tonight and it was good to see it back. I sure did miss it.

I listened to quite a bit of New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. Came home and charged my MP3 player so it is ready for tomorrow.

Tuesdays Rotation

I stitched on this during the evening. Mirabilia's Winter Queen. I love stitching on her.

Work was slow the past 2 days. We have to rely on mail for work. Well no one picked up Saturdays mail and the PO was closed on Monday so we had 7 samples to work with and I left work at noon. Today we only had 30 and I was done by noon so I left at 12:30. I wasn't feeling good anyways so I caught up on emails and BBs , picked up Dylan's girlfriend and then took a nap for 1-2 hours. I am feeling better now. I watched last week's and tonight's episodes of 90210 and wanted to watch General Hospital that I thought had DVRd only to find out that the soaps were not on. Bummer as it was getting good. I don't get into all the hoopla of the inauguration, sorry if it offends anyone. This country has money problems and to spend it all on that just was upsetting to me. My opinion and I am entitled to it :-)

progress pics

Friday night I stitched on TW The Storyteller. This was my Friday SAT with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group.
Today I stitched a little bit on my Halloween piece, Brittercup's Trick or Kitty Treat. I was hoping to finish it today but was playing on the computer today.

Saturday I went to a party at my mom's house. it was a Tastefully Simple party and I love their products. They have spices and dips and all kinds of good things. So I booked a party and having it with Shelbi, DS#2's girlfriend. She went with me and loved it. I didn't get in any stitching time on Saturday.
What else went on this weekend, hmm. Oh yeah I now own the movie Mamma Mia. My mom recieved 2 copies for Christmas and she didn't want the widescreen version that my dad gave her so I now own it. The temps have gone up today, woohoo!! it is 10:30 pm and 17F. Still cold but much more bearable than it had been.
I got caught up on General Hospital , watched 4 episodes today. I didn't get a chance to listen to New Moon by Stephenie Meyer, this weekend. I did start it on Thursday at work but that was it. Hoping to get most of it listened to this week.

I won an award

I won this from Carolyn NC , thank you so much. You have been a great friend.

4. Golden Angel
5. Nicole

Now there were way to many other bloggers out there that I enjoy and I have given awards to them before and if I haven't well all of you that I read and leave comments deserve an award because each one of you inspire me with something.

thank you

all that leave comments and those that just read my blog. I have been really tired this week, after work, so not much getting done. I am working on a RR right now and am hoping to finish that tomorrow night. The weather here has been nasty. Snow and winds making things difficult. Today was a high of 10F and tomorrow around -2 and wind chills of -20. Plus more snow tonight. 4"-6" of new snow, yuck!!
I am FINALLY caught up on everyones blogs. I haven't had a chance to just sit and read them for almost 3 weeks now. But I got through all of them and even left some comments.
Laurie, the snowman pillow that i did was a long time ago but I do believe it is called Snow and is by Bent Creek. It was a fun stitch.
I keep seeing SALs that others are doing and I really want to join in but I promised myself no new stash til 25 projects are stitched and finished. I am breaking that rule for the new LK Halloween Flip Its. Yes, I am naughty sometimes. I really would love to join in on the Peppermint Twist that everyone is doing but I really don't want to start something else either. Oh decisions, decisions. Guess I will sit it out. I have so much stash already kitted up that i really want to start soon.
Well I finished my glass of wine and reading blogs so time to go to bed.

progress pics

Saturday I stitched on the Quilt Sampler. It is moving along slowly. I also finished listening to Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Even though I did enjoy it and am listening to the whole series I do not see what all the hype was about.
Today I pulled out Just Nan's Batty Jack and finished him. He is so cute.
Then I started Brittercup Designs Trick or Kitty Treat. This was also from JCS October 2008 issue.

Today I watched Mama Mia and just loved it. I want to buy it now.
I also watched shows on the DVR:
Thursdays and Fridays General Hospital, which is getting good. I also watched The Barbara Walters special with Patrick Swayze. I also heard today that he was taken to the hospital for pnemonia.
I started listening to New Moon by Stephenie Meyer.
Oh yeah and I watched 24 tonight.

progress pics

I stitched on Night Before Christmas , on Thursday. This is a SAL with Needleworkers Haven BB.


Then last night I did the Friday night SAT with the Let's Stitch blog and I stitched on TW The Storyteller.

Today is a SAT with Only One Ewe BB so I will do the little bit of backstitching on The Storyteller and then stitch on Quilt Sampler.

I have been listening to Twilight and enjoying that. I have the next 3 on audiobook as well.
Another storm is on the way starting anytime and we will get 4-6 inches of snow, yuck!! So a nice day to sit and stitch and drink some wine :-)

Thank you all

that have been posting to my blog. I really appreciate it.
Vanessa, You asked where I lived. I am between Buffalo and Rochester. The author of Twilight is Stephenie Meyer and the movie is out now.

progress pics

I stitched last night on Mirabilia's Winter Queen while watching General Hospital and then 90210. I got a little bit done on her.
Tonight I stitched on The Cross Stitcher Christmas Angel. I loved working on her.

I have been listening to the audiobook of Twilight and I love it. I have New Moon and Breaking Dawn sitting here as well. I will listen to them in order.

The weather here has been crazy. We got freezing rain, sleet and then rain which lead to a bad commute this morning. Scott took me into work. Right now Scott just got to work and he called and said that the roads are worse tonight than they were last night. We are getting snow tonight and tomorrow and have a weather advisory until 5 tomorrow. I think maybe Scott will be taking me to work tomorrow as well.

I am trying to get caught up on blogs as I had taken over a week off because of the holidays. I also want to thank all of you who have been visiting my blog and for those that have taken the time to leave a comment. I knpow how much time that takes as I have been reading a ton of other bloggers posts and haven't been posting many comments.

another start

I am stitching a Halloween piece. It is Batty Jack by Just Nan out of the JCS Premiere Halloween Issue. I will add another color tomorrow night and then move onto Rocky Mountain Christmas which is my Monday stitching piece.

I stitched while watching the 2 hour episode of 24. I am so glad to see that it is back this season.
