Catching up

I have been a bad blogger, I know. Trying to do everything that I love after work while cleaning and getting other things done. It just doesn't always work.
Memorial weekend Scott, my sister, Dylan's girlfriend, and I, went and visited Dylan. We spent Saturday at King of Prussia Mall. That was a long day and a lot of walking. Sunday we went to Philly to Adventure Aquarium, which was a lot of fun.

I have been stitching a little bit.
 May 30th I finished May's ornament , that was also a Crazy January Challenge.

JCS 2003 With My Needle - A Needleworker's Pocket

I also have been stitchin on It's Halloween by The Drawn Thread. 

Half of it is done

Then I have stitched some more on HAED QS Fragile Heart.

The other day Justin called me. Seems he had decided to go for a run and fell on a sidewalk right on his knee. Ouch is right. He didn't have anything for first aid in his apartment so mom went to the rescue with bandades, gauze and tape. Mended him right up. I guess he does need me sometimes. 

Well that is it for now, I am going to try and make it a regular habit to blog again.

2 progress pics

I had a pretty busy weekend. Dylan came home late Thursday night/early Friday morning. I did manage to put in a few stitches on HAED QS Fragile Heart.

Saturday was quite busy. I had a BookCross meeting at lunch time. I always enjoy them. I gave away 2 books and came home with 1.
The reason that Dylan came home this weekend was for his girlfriend's senior prom. His roommate even came out for the prom. Allie(Dylan's girlfriend) had a friend without a date for the prom so Dylan's roommate went and he had a great time even though he didn't know one person there, except for Dylan.

                                                                     Allie, me and Dylan

Dylan's room mate Joe

                                                                Allie & Dylan
They had a great time.

Today the 4 of us went grocery shopping. What fun since my car doesn't have a big trunk and we went to 3 stores. Let's just say my 2 door car had groceries on top of Allie's and Joe's laps in the back seat lol.      
Dylan and Joe left here around 6:30 and should be back in PA around midnight.
This coming weekend will be busy as my sister, DH, Allie and I are going to visit Dylan and hopefully do some sightseeing in Philly.

So after they lefy I was able to sit and stitch tonight. I only stitched for 2 hours but it felt good and since it was Sunday, it was Halloween day. Here is It's Halloween by The Drawn Thread. I am so close to the edge of the fabric. I will have to finish it as a bellpull, when it is done and will have to stitch on extra fabric on the ends. I don't know happened when I measured since I check it so many times.

changing rotation a little

I have decided to keep stitching on HAED QS Fragile Heart. It is a SAL with the HAED Forums board and the 3rd page was sent out last month. I am on page 2 so I really want to finish this page and page 3 before the next page gets sent to me. HAED Forums has a new SAL starting the end of June and yes, you guessed it. Oh stop groaning because you all know that I am addicted to them, so I had to sign up. So anyways the new one is another Storykeep. Also I still need to finish SK Sunny. So my plan is to work on these 3 for the year. Plus Halloween on Sundays and a small ornament, not necessarily Christmas, on the last week of the month.
This is my progress tonight on Fragile Heart. I finished filling in the little bit of the forehead and the headbands heart.

I watched the movie The Hangover. I kept putting it off thinking I wouldn't like it but I laughed my ass off. It is crude and has a lot of swearing but so funny.
I also listened to some more of I, Alex Cross by James Patterson. I have 14 more chapters to go. This is the last week of season finales , except for next Monday is House's season finale.
My plan is to watch a movie every night and to listen to at least 1 hour of an audiobook, during all my shows hiatus.

Thanks for all the comments, you all are great friends.

Busy and was sick

I hadn't been on much last week as I was sick. Friday, after work, DH and I went to PA to give money to Dylan. His car needed work on it. On the way there we had no problems. We left Saturday afternoon, to come home and about 30 minutes to an hour we were watching another driver in the passing lane kept putting her brakes on. College age girl. Then she almost side swiped us. Well we were watching her and didn't notice the exit we were supposed to take lol. So we came across a sign that said last exit for Pennsylvania. Ok I don't remember that sign and no way are we near NY. We still have 3 hours to go. Next thing we notice the south bound traffic has a toll booth. I looked at DH and said we have never paid a toll going to Dylan's. Next sign says Welcome to New Jersey! We laughed so hard. It only took us 20 minutes out of our way so we were doing ok time wise. Got turned around and back to where we needed to be. We were home by 8:30pm. So I pulled out HAED QS Fragile Heart and stitched for an hour or 2. I won't be pulling this back out til June.

Yesterday I cleaned the house and did laundry. Went grocery shopping and then played Sims3 for awhile. Pulled out It's Halloween for a couple of hours and watched Season Finale of Desperate Housewives.

Thanks for reading and the comments,

a little of this and that

I haven't been posting like I want to.
Last weekend I went, with Dylan's girlfriend,  and visited Dylan in PA. He took me to Philly for a real Philly Cheesesteak. It was good and I fell in love with Philly. The buildings were gorgeous and drove by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is huge!! I want to visit it next time and also want to go to the zoo. He took us to The King of Prussia Mall, which is huge and we only walked through a small part of it. I took my stitching with me and did get some stitching time in.
This past week I put in more stitches on HAED QS Fragile Heart

Dylan is home for 3 weeks and will be going with me to work as we need help and he needs money. Today we went grocery shopping, came home and cleaned a little. I finally got to stitch for about 2 hours tonight. I watched the movie Date Night with Tina Fey and Steve Carell, Funny movie. Then watched Desperate Housewives. I stitched on Halloween Streamer by Little River Designs.

Thank you for visiting and leaving comments. I appreciate them.

HAED Fragile Heart

I ended up stitching on this for a few hours tonight. While watching Desperate Housewives, Live with Regis and Kelly, and General Hospital.

I also stitched on it last night while watching the movie Leap Year. Great movie!

Thanks for all the comments and please come back again :-)

movies, TV and stitching

Yesterday was my birthday. I got a card and money from my in laws. Lots of facebook comments and a few txt messages. As for DH, well still nothing by bedtime. My own mom didn't remember to call me.
I fixed Mexican lasagna for my inlaws and boy was that good. I made it mild so it wouldn't bother them and it seemed to be a hit. I stitched for an hour on HAED QS Fragile Heart so I didn't take a pic.
Today I caught up on some laundry and watched all last week's episodes of Live with Regis and Kelly. I sure will miss it when Regis leaves. I have been a huge fan of his show around the time Kathie Lee had joined. When I went back to the work force in 2007 I had missed it. So when news of Regis leaving had hit the news, then I started DVRing it. Friday's episode was their 10th anniversary and showed all kinds of past episodes. Some I remembered and a few I had missed. But it left me with bittersweet tears. I know Kelly is staying on but it won't be the same without Regis. No telling how I will be on the last day he will be on.
So while watching them I pulled out Halloween Streamer by Little River. I then sat in my comfy chair and watched 2 movies , which I highly recommend. The first one was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The next movie was The Book of Eli. Both great movies.
Here is my progress on Halloween Streamer. I am hoping to finish it this month.

This week I will be stitching on HAED QS Fragile Heart.
I forgot to mention. When DH came home from work at 3, this afternoon, he had a birthday card and shrimp for me. I told him thank you and I appreciated it but yesterday was my birthday. He apologized. He knew it was my birthday and even told me Happy Birthday. But he said he didn't know what to get me. Well gee a card on my actual Birthday would have been nice.

Thanks for all of the comments, loved them all.

Finished Poof Hat

Left work at noon since we weren't busy today. Took a 2 hour nap. Deleted a lot of friends off of Facebook. I am no longer playing games and I had at least 200 people on there for games. Got rid of them all. Felt good but sad to lose a couple of them.

Sat down and watched all of this week's General Hospital episodes.
Pulled out Poof Hat and finished it. I promised this chart to someone but can't remember who. Please leave me a comment of you still want it. I am not sure how I want to finish this. Either frame it or make a pillow. The spider is done all in beads.

Poof Hat - Ursula Michael

28 ct Monaco, DMC, MH beads

1/8/11 - 4/1/11

Then I pulled out HAED QS Fragile Heart  and put in a few stitches. I will also work on this Saturday.

Thanks for all the comments,

Backstitching

The past 2 days at work have been crazy. Training a couple of young women who will be working at a new lab. Plus having tons of samples ourselves. It was fun though and enjoyed working with them and their boss. He seems like a great guy. He gave my manager and I, an amish cookbook from PA. Just going through it made my mouth water lol.
Last night was library night with the knitters. I had missed the past 3 Mondays. I go and none of the show up lol. So I stitched for an hour then went through their movies and brought home 4.
Tonight's movie was from Netflix and was Morning Glory. Awesome cast, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton and Rachel McAdams(sp?), Jeff Goldblum. I rate it 4/5.
I have all the backstitching done on the hat and have some more to do before adding the beads. Hoping to finish it this week.

Thank you for all of your comments, I appreciate them :-)

From Merry's Heart

JCS 2000

Merry Christmas To Thee

32 ct white linen, WDW - brick

1/3/11-3/25/11

I also stitched on Poof Hat tonight.

I am getting there. Just a little bit of cross stitching left and then a lot of backstitching and then I have to add beads.

I only worked an hour and a half today. I had my yearly doctor's visit. She was happy that I lost 22 lbs since last year. Everything was good and I scheduled my mammogram for 2 weeks.
I also had to renew my drivers license.

I have Dish Network and they gave me 6 free PPV movies to watch by the end of April. So tonight I watched Shrek Forever After. I also DVRd it so I can watch it again.

Today is Justin's 21st birthday, woohoo!!! His friend's threw him a party but no drinking and driving. Dylan is also on his way home now. Called his dad that he is having car trouble so needs to get it fixed tomorrow.

I am changing my hair style and have an appointment tomorrow morning and getting my eyebrows waxed. I can't wait.

Thanks for all the comments, I truly appreciate them. I am over a week behind reading all my friend's blogs so please bear with me for another week to catch up.

Merry Christmas To Thee

Well it isn't really Christmas, although the weather today says it could be. Can you believe it. Spring is now here and we get hit with a storm. Yes, western NY with a storm in March. No Kidding! We have seen snow here in May. Why do NYers psych themselves up that it is Spring. We all know that doesn't matter. Oh well, onto other things.

I pulled out Merry Christmas To Thee by From Merry's Heart , out of the 2000 JCS ornament issue.

I haven't been stitching much since I have been too tired after work. Plus a friend has called me the past 2 nights to chat. Last weekend I went to a friend's house to stitch and just veg out. I had a good time and did stitch on Rocky Mountain Christmas and Poof Hat. No pics though.

Tomorrow is my mom's birthday, Friday is Justin's 21st birthday and Sunday is Dylan's 19th birthday. Dylan is coming home, for the weekend and Justin took the weekend off from work. Scott and I are taking them, and Dylan's girlfriend, out for dinner. Well I am really tired so I will say goodbye.

Oh one last thing. RIP Elizabeth Taylor.

Night all,
Shelleen

The Frog sat and visited for a while

Friday and Saturday stitching was fine.
I had my Book Cross Meeting on Saturday morning and then went to my in laws for dinner.
Here is my progress so far on HAED QS Fragile Heart.

Today I straightened up around the house , did laundry and then sat and stitched on Poof Hat by Ursula Michael.

The frog sat next to me for quite a while on this one. I do not know where he came from and don't know why any of my animals let him in. I have sent him on his way though.

I watched the week's worth of General Hospital and some of Live with Regis and Kelly. I also watched Bones. Then I listened to U is For Undertow by Sue Grafton.

This week I will stitch on Rocky Mountain Christmas.

Tuesday's progress

I did stitch last night but didn't blog. So tonight I am sharing pics of my progress on HAED QS Fragile Heart.

Tonight I watched Megamind, Pretty good and with great rock music. I went to Netflix and rated the movie but it didn't post to Facebook and now I don't see anywheres that says it does anymore. Will have to find another place when you rate them that goes to Facebook.

I also started listening to U for Undertow by Sue Grafton. I have always enjoyed this series.

Today's PC game - Sims 3

Thanks for visiting and the comments,

Saturday SAT and Sunday Halloween SAL

Saturday was pretty busy. I took a huge bag of envelopes to the PO. I am in a Yahoo group where members post a RAK(random act of kindness) list and their addresses so I went through the list and all of my charts that I was getting rid of. I had a LOT! Then I cooked dinner for my in laws. Last Saturday my MIL had  another mini stroke. She was in good spirits and the hospital sent her home. I didn't have to cook but I did go visit  my in laws. Well her speech is hard to understand at times and she does get frustrated trying to get out what she wants to say. But I am so glad she is with us. My FIL is quiet so he doesn't say to much. Prayers for these wonderful people would be appreciated though.
I took my stitching as always and worked some more on HAED QS Fragile Heart

Today we had pretty nasty weather and Dylan and his *girlfriend* and I went grocery shopping. Dylan took groceries back with him and I had to get mine for the week. Some spots were pretty slippery.
I came home and stitched on Poof Hat by Ursula Michael while finishing listening to, Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich. Love this series :-)

Thank you for all the comments, I appreciate them very much,
Shelleen

Where have I been?

not blogging, that's for sure. I have been stitching though. Not alot. Also playing a lot of Sims2 and Sims3. Going through my blogs that I read and deleting from my list who hasn't blogged in 4-6 months. Also decided not to be in a couple of Bulletin Boards anymore. I just was trying to stitch to many SALs plus my Wips and UFOs. So I now feel calmer lol.
 Just got done doing my nails and am all ready for a date night with hubby. Going to a restaurant we have always wanted to try. I am so hungry right now that I have no clue what I want to eat, prime rib, steak, seafood, pasta. I usually have an idea of what I want but since it is a new place I will have to look at their menu.

Hubby has to work tonight so when we get home I will get my comfy PJs on and watch Smallville and Supernatural while stitching on HAED QS Fragile Heart. It has been a month so I can't wait to pull it out.

Dylan is also coming home this weekend. We bought a futon to put in the extra bedroom, now that Justin is moved out. This way Dylan can be in there when he comes home.
Well time to go and wake up hubby :-)

Crazy January challenge #2 finished

This is an ornament that I started January 2.

JCS 1999 Chessie & Me - Chessie's Tree

January 2, 2011 - February 22, 2011

Then today I started a SAL with a BB. It is by The Stitcherhood and is Love (freebie) On 28 ct Monaco with silk thread.

The other day, on Facebook, Dylan's ex Shelbi kept saying she missed me. So tonight we met my sister and went out for sushi. It ended up being a hibachi sushi buffet. It was really good but we wanted a place to go to that you order what kind of sushi rolls that you want. I would go back there again but if wanting ordered sushi we would go somewheres else.

Tonight I listened to the audiobook Angel Time by Anne Rice. I am at chapter 13. Not sure if the story is boring or just the narrator. 

Every night I play a game on my new PC but forget to mention what it is.

Tonight's game: Sim City 4

Thanks for all the comments.

RMS SAL and Halloween SAL

I stitched most of the day, Saturday, on Rocky Mountain Christmas. I woke up to nasty  weather again. Cold, windy and snowy. Roads were bad and visibility was bad. So after cleaning I pulled out RMC. I cooked for my inlaws again and this time I made homemade Hamburger Stroganoff. I also stitched while visiting with them.

as you can see I finished the 2nd column. All I need to do on it is the backstitching.
Today I pulled out Poof Hat by Ursula Michael. I started watching TV and stitching , when Justin showed up to do his laundry. Then he took me grocery shopping. I thought the roads were still yucky like when I woke up but they had cleared up.
I also had hamburger soup going in the crockpot, mmm.
Sat down and stitched while watching TV all day, and a little cleaning.

The TV shows I watched:
Pretty Little Liars
Bones
Private Practice
House
Grey's Anatomy

Thanks for all the comments. I have made some great online friends :-)

Friday SAT

I stitched for several hours last night on Rocky Mountain Christmas

I watched:
Smallville
Supernatural
4 episodes General Hospital

Also at work I listened to Angel Time by Anne Rice.

I was overtired during the day so I took a 3 hour nap, after work. Felt great afterwards.

Library day with the knitters/crocheters

I stitch with the knitters/crocheters on Mondays, at our library. Since Monday was Valentine's Day we decided to get together tonight. Also next week, Monday is President's Day so the library will be closed, so we will get together on Wednesday. I sat and stitched for 2 hours there. Came home and stitched for 1 1/2 hours.
What did I stitch on you ask. Well Rocky Mountain Christmas of course.

As you can see I finished 1 column and am starting in another one. Wish I thought of this 10 years ago, it might have been finished.

I got brake pads and rotors on my 2 front tires today. That broke me a little :-) Scott got his truck back yesterday so we both have good running vehicles.

Today I also listened to Angel Time by Anne Rice. I am on chapter 6 now, about 1/2 way through the book. It is different but I am enjoying it.

Thank you for all of the comments,
Shelleen

Tuesday progress

I got more progress done.

It would have been more but I watched The Westminster Dog Show while stitching and I had to watch all the dogs so I kept stopping stitching. Congrats to the Scottish Deerhound for winning Best of Show. Beautiful dog and is retiring.

Thank you everyone for all the comments. You are all the best.

Rocky Mountain Christmas

I pulled this out on Friday and stitched on it every day but Sunday. This was started January 1, 2001 as part of a SAL with the Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I haven't worked on it in a few years. I hated all the confetti stitching but since stitching on HAEDs I appreciate this piece more and will stitch it in columns, like I do the HAEDs.I plan on stitching on it 1 week a month and am hoping to finish it this year. Sorry for the dark picture. It is stitched on 28 ct blue, which is lighter than shown here.

Well DHs truck went into the shop, Thursday, for the part that was needed. They called late this afternoon, to say it was done. He is thrilled to be able to get his truck back.

Dylan came home this weekend and Justin moved out. No more kids living at home. With Scott working 3rd shift it is very quiet in this house.

I went grocery shopping with Dylan, before he went back to PA. Since I eat alone all week I bought Smart Ones, Lean Cuisine, fresh veggies and fruits, chicken and fish. I think this will be easier to keep on track of my weight watchers.

While stitching tonight I watched the Westminster Dog Show. Is anyone else watching this? It will finish up tomorrow night , so I will be curled up on the couch stitching while watching it.

last night of HAED *edited*

 ***I am wrong. Tonight is the last night of HAED, not last night, lol. So one more picture.***

Until March. I stitch 1 week a month with the HAED BB.
Today I cleaned the bathroom and hallway. Washed a load of laundry.
Then caught up on some blogs.
Stitched while watching General Hospital and then a Netflix movie, Nanny McPhee Returns. Cute movie.

HAED QS Fragile Heart

25 count Lugana

Tuesday progress

Well woke up to more snow. Scott took me into work. My manager went home sick, within minutes of coming to work :-( . She gets bad migraines. I hope she is feeling better. So I closed at 4:00.
Came home and cleaned the kitchen, did dishes and washed the dog's bedding.
Then sat and stitched the rest of the night. I watched General Hospital and Pretty Little Liars.
I think I accomplished quite a bit today on HAED QS Fragile Heart.

Scott got ready to leave for work tonight and has no power in his truck :-( so he had to take my car, to work. I hope it isn't anything serious. He bought it last April.

HAED progress

Tonight was library night with the knitters/crocheters.
After getting out of work early, as it wasn't busy. I then cleaned my living room and folded a couple loads of laundry. I was debating if I wanted to go to the library. But one of the women called me to make sure I was going. When I got ready to leave it was snowing and starting to stick to my road. I decided if the main roads were fine then I would be able to stitch for almost 2 hours. When I left the library the one main road was clear but the other one was snow covered. I was fine though and made it home ok.

I wanted to watch House but I still needed dinner. So I cooked while watching. I know I missed a couple of parts but I got the idea.
Then after it was over, I sat and stitched for an hour and a half. So here is tonight's progress

Yeah Packers!!

Yes, the Packers won and I watched some really cute commercials and even saw previews to movies that I must see.

Today I started reading a book called Finny by Justin Kramon. It is good so far.

Then I played Mall Tycoon 2.

While watching the super bowl , I stitched on Poof Hat.

Saturday SAT and new stash

Saturday morning went and got groceries. Boy it got nasty out fast. Sleet and snow and visibility was zero at times, when we took food to my in laws. I cook every Saturday for my MIL and FIL since their health isn't the greatest. My SILs take care of them during the week so Saturday Scott and I help out to make sure they took their meds and I feed them. I fixed a ham and noodle casserole, which is my favorite.

I took my stitching and stitched on HAED QS Fragile Heart.

I also got stash in the mail. I am on the auto shipment this year, for the new Halloween flip its. I also got the fabric and floss and will do them all on one piece. I also ordered Sue Hillis Happy Valentines Day. It just came out this week.  Thank you Amy from Down Sunshine Lane for the speedy shipment.

Friday SAT 2-4-11

Scott and I went out for a fish fry. We ate early as he was hungry. Then came home and he fell asleep around 7pm and I stitched all night.
HAED QS Fragile Heart.
I also watched Smallville and Supernatural.

Friday night PC game was Pet Vet

HAED progress

After reading emails, BBs and some blogs, I pulled out my HAED. This is QS Fragile Heart.

I will be stitching on this through next Thursday but I will stitch on Poof Hat, on Sunday.
I watched:
The Vampire Diaries
Grey's Anatomy
Private Practice

I also played an hour on Sims3

Thanks for all of your comments, I appreciate them so much. I also found that I am not the only one, who reads blogs and doesn't leave comments. I can not even tell you how many that I read today but only left a few comments.

a finish

We didn't get the weather that we were supposed to. But still all the schools were closed. Scott took me to work and we drove on the main roads but there was no traffic and it was like that all morning. I work on a main road and we have windows all throughout the building and hardly any traffic, it was eerie. I ended up leaving at noon because we were done.

Came home and I stitched for 4 hours while watching DVR shows.
watched:
Pretty Little Liars
3 episodes of General Hospital

I finished a UFO:

Happy Hallowe'en - RoseMary Peddie

28 ct evenweave

12/12/10 - 2/2/11

Then I pulled out one of my January Challenges, which will be my February ornament.

JCS 1999 Chessie & Me - Chessie's Tree

Well time to play a computer game. Tonight's game is Sea World Adventure Parks Tycoon.

Bored?

I love Facebook but had gotten rid of all the games that I played but Fairyland. Now I don't like that game anymore so in a couple of weeks I will be done with that and get rid of all my Fairyland friends. I also left all the groups I was in. Just took up to much time.

Now went through blogs that I was member of and left a couple of those. I no longer do exchanges. I would rather RAK someone. Some blogs no one posted to anymore anyways.

Then some of my Yahoo groups are dead so I left those.

I want to stitch on my UFOs/WIPs and 2 small monthly SALs and of course my ornament a month.

I do NOT want to stitch on anymore RRs. They also take up time.

I miss certain friends, as we used to be close but I got sucked into so much stuff online. I want to read thier blogs and email them regularly again.

I also am trying to not watch new shows on TV as I want to free up my evenings listening to my audio books and watching movies, while stitching. I haven't been caring for Nikita, on the CW so I am no longer going to watch that show. Some of my shows aren't coming back, Medium, Smallville and possibly House, Bones and Supernatural, after this season.

Must be a phase I am going through. Anyone else feel this way?

Next year I want to start a blog of just stitchers stitching on freebies. I don't know about you but I have been printing them up since 1999 and would love to do a year of stitching them and getting rid of the patterns. Yes, gasp, I do throw them out after I stitch them up. Anyone else want to make it their goal for next year?

I like the idea of each year doing something different. I also would love to stitch out of the magazines that I own. Some only have 1 or 2 patterns in them. Then give the magazine away when I am done. Get rid of all this clutter? maybe not clutter but to make way for new things.

I also will give out boxes of books after my book meeting each month. The only thing is they are registered with Book Crossing and I do want journal entries with book crossing when you get them and read them. It is a free membership and fun.

Ok so who is still reading all this silly nonsense? I know boring blog post but a journal post anyways. Is it because Dylan has moved out and Justin may move out next month so I need new changes? I like change and would move in a heartbeat but DH won't move.

Ok I am done blathering lol.
