HAED Happy Dance!!!!

My first HAED finish Woohoo!!!
I stitched this as part of the SAL with the HAED BB. I have 3 other HAEDs that I need to finish.

Tonight was Friday SAT with the Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sister's Yahoo group. I ended up watching 3 movies tonight.
She's Out of My League 4 stars
Get Smart 3 stars
The Haunting of Molly Hartley 3 stars

Yesterday we had our work done by noon so I left work, took Scott out for lunch and then later on I took Justin to the movies. We saw The Sorcerer's Apprentice , which was a 5 star. Great graphics.
Then I went to A.C. Moore. I love their pads of paper that are $1. Plus I bought little wooden cutouts of ladybugs, butterflies, bees and dragonflies. I had the round magnets at home so I made needle minders out of them.
Then I went to Joann's Etc. since they have fabric and I love the project bags through Stitch a Gift and I change mine every month. I have 6 or 7 of them now and wanted some made with material that I picked out so I will be sending those fabrics onto the ladies to make them for me.
I am winding the 3800's on bobbins now but I ran out of bobbins so I am hoping to pick up more tomorrow. Plus I have a bag of DMC that are a mix of numbers that need to be wound. I see the light at the end of the tunnel :-)

I'm So Excited and I just can't hide it!!

That song has been going through my head the last 15 minutes I was up stitching on this. LOOK!!! It is almost done. Now I am getting antsy LOL.

I plan on going to the movies tomorrow after work, so I may not get it done tomorrow. But I know I will get it done on Friday.

I watched General Hospital and wound more floss on bobbins. All the 3700's DMC are now wound and tomorrow I will get them in numerical order in the Jammer. I will need to buy some more bobbins though for the next set of DMC numbers.

Then I pulled out my Ipod and listened to a few more chapters of Web of Evil by J.A. Jance. Great series.

Tonight's movie was Footloose. It was on CMT and since Justin and I saw the musical on Sunday he had informed me that he never saw the movie. So for about my 30th time seeing it we watched it together. He loved the movie!

Tuesday movie/family night

It is Tuesday again and a Netflix night. We watched The Bounty Hunter with Jennifer Aniston. Funny movie.
Then Pretty Little Liars came on and Justin and I watched that.
When that was over I put it on General Hospital and wound more floss on bobbins. I am at the 3700s DMC now.
While watching the movie and Pretty Little Liars I stitched some more on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I got more of the flesh done and some of the tail. I am sure hoping it will be done the end of this week.


I have been feeling like I am in a funk. Not sure if it the changes going on this year or what. I feel time for a change and want to move out of state but Scott won't move. Then I feel like maybe I should just pack up my stuff, the dog and my cat and just go by myself and start over a new chapter in my life. Not sure where this is all coming from. Justin is in college and Dylan is moving to PA. I am ready for a change. I have been living in this house or I should say trailer for almost 23 years and am bored. It is old and Scott doesn't want to put money into it but he doesn't want a mortgage either so he doesn't want to buy a new place. Scott has had to work OT since February with no end in sight so I only get to spend time with him on Saturdays and this is getting really old as well. I am grateful that he has a job but they also take advantage of that and making it mandatory OT. My stitching friends all live out of state and the one that I have here I haven't seen since March. She is always busy.Anybody else ever feel like this?

Thanks for the comments that are being left, I really appreciate them.

busy day at work

The day started out slow at work, Monday you know. Then a mistake was made but was able to be fixed , no big deal. Just one of those days and we got done late. Got caught up on reading Bulletin Boards(proboards and another one). Read a couple of blogs :-)

Then sat and watched General Hospital and wound floss on bobbins. I might be able to get this done this week, well then again I did find more extra floss lol.

Then pulled out my stitching and watched a movie, Mr. Woodcock. Has Billy Bob Thornton and Susan sarandon in it. Billy Bob played Mr. Woodcock and I really wanted to reach through the TV and slap him. He was a terrible teacher. I also watched tonight's episode of Rizzoli & Isles. Not sure if I want to continue watching this series. I do like Angie Harmon but she plays the same kind of roles over and over again so it seems like I am watching the same show. She needs to broaden her acting career and they need some new blood out there.

I did manage to get quite a bit done on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I am really hoping to finish it this week.

This weekends events

FRIDAY:
Happy 22nd Anniversary to my sweet husband. Unfortunately he had to work.
I stitched for the SAT with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I stitched on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep.
I also watched General Hospital and the movie Fred Clause.
This is how much progress that I made.

SATURDAY: I stitched for a few hours on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I watched 2 movies. Speed racer , which was cute and then Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.
The SAT today was with Only One Ewe BB and stitching Sisters Yahoo group.
Scott took me out for dinner for our Anniversary. We went to a new place to us in Clarence. It is called Old Red Mill. Scott had Prime Rib and I had Surf-n-turf= Prime Rib and snow crab legs. It was excellent food and Scott said the best Prime rib he has had in a while. We will go back there again.
SUNDAY:
Dylan and I went grocery shopping then I took off with Justin and we saw a local theater group do the musical for Footloose. It was at a high school an hour away from me. Along the way there was a Quilt store so we stopped. I was looking all around and making comments to Justin. I don't know if it was the owner or just someone that worked there , but she was really nice. I told her that I didn't quilt and I was a just a cross stitcher and wanted fabric for my finishes. She said we are not just cross stitchers but we are fiber artists. I liked that and had never heard us referred as that. I told her that my husband would have a fit if I got into another craft lol. She said that he can't be to bad if he brought you to the store. LMAO!! I told her Justin was my 20 year old son and not my husband. She said no way. I do not look old enough. I told her yes, I am 45. She wouldn't believe me lol.
So we found the school with no problem and the musical was great. Justin had 2 friends in it , and that is why we went.
Came home and started a new Halloween piece for Sunday SALs with Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. This is called Cat-O-Lantern by Springberry Kreek Designs. I bought this 10 years ago during a Cross Stitch Pals retreat. I can't wait to work on it again.
I also watched Tale of Despereaux and then True Blood.

Page 1 is finished

I finally finished the first page. I also started the 2nd page. My goal was to finish it by the end of the month because I am starting the new SAL July 1. Oh well.

HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep

Justin and I watched a good movie tonight. Working Miracles was the movie I got through Netflix and was a hallmark channel movie.

Finished another column

I stitched on this for a few hours as a SAT(stitch a thon) with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I am hoping to finish the last column of page 1 , this weekend.

HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep

I watched 5 episodes of General Hopsital while stitching and then played Sims3 for a couple of hours.

HAED stitching and 24 finale

Friday night I stitched on a RR so no pics.
Yesterday I pulled out HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep and watched 24's episodes from 5/10 and 5/17
Today I pulled out the HAED and watched the finale of 24 and cried at the end. This is it, no more after 8 seasons of what has kept me on the edge of my seat. I know that a movie is in the makings and can't wait to see it when it comes out.

Anyways when I wasn't stitching I was playing Sims3. But there is a picture below of some more progress.

HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep

Movie night Tuesday

Tonight the boys and I watched Bandslam, from Netflix. Awesome movie and music. It has Lisa Kudrow in it.

Tonight was also a new episode of Lost. Very sad as 2 of my favorite characters died. I won't ruin it for those of you who haven't seen it. But have kleenex ready for the end. I can't believe only a couple of episodes left.

I also stitched on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. Got a couple more squares done on it.

Well Scott has informed me that he will be working Friday nights for about 2 months. So I will get a lot done on Friday night SATs.

Dylan just got done filing the callouses on my feet. Then put mint lotion on. When he moves away I won't have anyone to do my feet. Justin says no way and Scott has no clue what he is doing, but he tries.

Mermaid Monday

Today I read some more of The Memory Thief by Rachel Keener. It is ok.
Then pulled out HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. Stitched for 2 hours while watching House and then 24.
I will be dropping my car off at the shop tomorrow morning so I can find out exactly what is wrong with my car. it is going back to the mechanic that I have always trusted. it will no longer go back to where it has gone for the past 2-3 years. Everytime it comes back with more problems.

a small finish and a wip

I finished EEK! from the LK Boo club flip its. It is now being turned into a RR. So now I have to figure out what I want to start next Sunday.

Tonight's episodes of LIFE.

This week's ramblings

My week was ok.
TUESDAY:
Movie night with my boys. We had pizza and watched 2012. I enjoyed the movie and couldn't stitch much as it kept you on the edge of the seat and you had to read a little bit when there were conversations in other languages. But there wasn't much of that.

WEDNESDAY:
I stitched on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I also watched Lost and The Forgotten, that I had DVRd from Tuesday. Also listened to some of Heat Lightning by John Sandford.

THURSDAY:
was my day off from work. Did some laundry, went shopping with Justin. He wanted to get a new TV for his room. Watched 3 episodes of General Hospital while organizing my specialty threads. All the Weeks Dye Works and Gentle Arts Sampler Threads are done. I have to buy another photo box with indexed labels so i can do a Misc specialty thread box. Now back to the DMCs. I have more bobbins and had to buy another Jammer box. I watched Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. Pic below of my week's progress on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep.
Tonight I will be stitching on Stitchy Kitty St. Paddy's Kitty Moon.
I am coming down with sinus problems so feel tired and I hope I don't fall asleep while stitching.
Tomorrow I have a bookcross meeting and am looking forwards to that.

a Mermaid night

I know I didn't post last night. I didn't have anything to say. I was reading blogs all night, well....while I kept nodding off. My manager has been out all week, still, and I am in charge. The 2 of us at work did way to much and I was so tired last night that I was falling asleep at the computer. I read everyone's blogs though and only posted comments on a few.

Tonight I watched last Friday's General Hospital's episode and then some of Monday's. Then I watched Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. I also stitched on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I did get quite a bit stitched on it. I also will stitch on it tomorrow night before putting it away tile next month.

Today I started reading a new series by J.A. Jance. The book is Edge of Evil. I have read 58 pages and am hooked already so I am hoping to read quite a bit this weekend.

Does anyone have plans for Valentines day? I don't have any plans and I have no idea what hubby has planned.

Next week I need to get new sneakers as my feet have been killing me. I also realized that I haven't had my eyebrows done or a haircut since last June and I am in dire need. I can't do anything with my hair and my eyebrows are really ugly.

Well I need to get to bed. Have a good night.

SK Mermaid of the Deep

Last night was the SAT with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. So I stitched on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I will also stitch on it all next week.

I ended up watching Ghost Whisperer, which I think is one of my favorite episodes now. Then Medium was on and that was good. I really wanted to stitch for 2 more hours last night but I was falling asleep.

Today I will be stitching on S is for Stitching from a Cross Country Stitching mag.
Our household is also getting our taxes done. Since both boys work we make it a family thing :-)
