Tonights movie was Alfie with Jude Law. It was ok, not something I will watch again.
I put in about 4 hours on TW The Storyteller. I have a little bit of backstitching on the top right corner square and then a specialty stitch. that should be done next Monday. Then onto another the top left 1/4 of this piece.

Justin and I went grocery shopping this morning and I also went to the PO and dropped off packages to those of you that I owed them to.

Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason was the movie tonight. it was ok.
I read keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult, for about 1 1/2 hours today. I started it back in March and really want to finish it.
I finished listening to The House by Danielle Steel and I really enjoyed it.
I stitched a few hours on TW The Storyteller. I am hoping to finish this top border next monday .

Well things worked out at work. The manager got his paperwork from my doctor. I go back to work on the 27th.

I had Justin take down my curtains, in the living room and family room, so I could wash them. Then I had Scott hang them up. But I was naughty and reached a couple of times while he was hanging the curtain rod and my tummy hurts a little bit so resting the rest of today and for tomorrow.
Tues, wedn, & Thur I will be stitching on Little Old Me designs Night Before Christmas. Hoping to get quite a bit done on it.

Tonight's Netflix movie was Happily n Ever After. it was cute.
The audiobook I listened to today was Bungalow 2 by Danielle Steel. I am enjoying it but hoping that it doesn't end up the way I think it will.
I received this ornament exchange from Nicole. I love it , thank you soo much!
Today I stitched on TW The storyteller and worked on the top border. I really like the colors in this but hate all the color changes.

WIPs

Last night I worked some more on The Storyteller. I was doing it as a SAL with Connie to keep motivated but she has to bow out for a couple of months so I have to be really good and keep pulling this out on Mondays.
Sunday is Halloween Day for me so I pulled out Halloween Fairy by Nora Corbett. I did change something already though. The Kreinik #4 braid says 2 strands but I thout it looked bulky so I took it out and used 1 strand and I think it looks better.
Then Saturday was my SAT(stitchaThon) with Only One Ewe BB and Stitching Sisters yahoo group. I stitched on another square of Quilt Sampler. So this square, 3 more and then the border and it will be done.

I also stitched quite a bit more on HAED Aurora's Garden but I didn't update a pic like I thought I did.

Also watched a few movies:
My Bloody Valentine - Netflix
Underworld: Rise of The Lycons - Netflix
Bride wars - Netflix
Storm Cell- Netflix
A Valentine carol- on the DVR- Lifetime movie
Marley & me - Netflix

Finsihed listening to the audiobook:
Phantom Prey by John sandford
Started listening to:
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

2 WIPs and a finish

Monday I worked some more on TW The Storyteller. I am moving along on this and it is a SAL with Connie. I also watched the season Finale of House, which was good. I also watched 24.
This is Little Old Me designs The Night Before Christmas. It is part of a SAL with the Needleworkers Haven BB and you had to be a member in order to get the pattern. I stitched this while watching the season Finale of Lost, weird season. Bones, stupid finale. Grey's Anatomy which I loved the finale and cried.
Tonight was SAT (stitch a thon) with Stitching Sisters Yahoo group, Let's Stitch Blog and a Cross Stitch Facebook group. So I finished Pa Bunny by the Sweetheart Tree. This was stitched on 32 Ct Amsterdam Blue Lugana with DMC. I watched the season finale of Ghost Whisperer, which was good. Smallville season finale, which was good, and Supernatural Season finale. It is now midnight and I am tired.

*PaBunny pattern is up for a trade. See my wish list. This was a cheap pattern so a skein of floss or needles would be fair.*

a finish and a new start

I finished the bookmark that is for an exchange so no pic.
I have been wanting to start a HAED (Heaven And Earth Design) for a long time. Well I printed a freebie and then bought the fabric. This is Aurora's Garden.



I watched a movie today: Yes Man with Jim Carrey. Pretty good. Tonight's TV show was Desperate Housewives , which I enjoyed.

Tomorrow I will be stitching on TW The Storyteller. Connie read about my stitching this and she wanted to stitch with me for motivation. She doesn't have a blog but I will post my progress.

Oh yeah and Dylan started stitching his mythical creature. I basted the first page border. He thinks he can do one square (10x10) a day. I am not so sure if he can do that but we will see.
I will post pics of that when I get a chance.

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.

Snowy day

The day started clear and Scott took me to work since we knew the storm was coming. We got to work at 8:00 and him and Dylan took off for the Rez to get cigarettes. Schools had already closed all around us for the oncoming storm. Well I got a txt message that they didn't make it to the Rez. Within 30 minutes the roads were already dicey and they saw a car flipped over. My supervisor decided to close the lab so Scott picked me up. Got home and did a little straightening up. Got caught up on blog reading and started stitching The Storyteller with the Let's Stitch blog. I managed to finish stitching up one section with the backstitching and then stitched up another section. This is my Friday piece in rotation.
I also took pics of the storm but need to upload them onto my computer. My car is pretty buried out there. Justin actually came home around 7:30 from work and slid right into the yard.
Watched:
General Hospital
A Dennis The Menace Christmas
Ghost Whisperer

and listened a little bit to the audiobook.

a little of this and that

Thursday I got home from work and sat at my computer to read emails. I turned around and Dreyx and rascal were laying next to each other cleaning themselves. I asked then if they had hot dates but not a response at all.
I stitched on the Quilt Sampler all wee and have almost 1/4 of it done. I am stitching in this all day today as part of a Saturday SAT.
my Friday night SAl with the Let's Stitch blog was The Storyteller. This is slow moving with all the color changes plus the frog cam a courting last night for 10 of my stitches. I made sure he got booted out in the snow right after that. I do not know how he got past the 3 cats and the dog. I told them they need to be on better alert to this creature. he is not welcomed in this house. All that I got was a yawn from all 4 furry family members. I see they listen real well.

I have been watching some of my TV shows:
General Hospital
Smallville
Grey;s Anatomy
Supernatural
Ghost Whisperer

Looks like a lot of my shows are not coming back til January. I cann see my DVR being used a lot since I have quite a few movies on it to watch>

Tw The Storyteller


Last night was a SAT (stitchathon) with the Let's Stitch group. So I pulled out TW The Storyteller and also used it for my weekly fantasy stitch with the Stitch a Fantasy group. I watched quite a bit of TV. General Hospital, True Blood, Ghost Whisperer and then a movie, August Rush, which I love!
Today is a SAT with another group and will stitch 1 or 2 Mill Hill kits since it is also Quick Stitch weekend with another group.

busy weekend

I had a pretty busy weekend. Saturday morning I worked at the church making soup. Then I did get some stitching time in on TW The Storyteller. Next weekend I won't be working on it.


We had a family reunion today with Scott's side. I haven't seen his Aunts, Uncles or cousins in a few years and was nice seeing them again. Ate a little to much as there was a lot of food.
I am starting an incentive stitching piece. This is Peace, Love, Joy & Life Quilt Sampler. It is out of Cross Country Stitching issue June 2008. I am stitching it 1 over 1 on 25 ct. Lugana. It is a SAL with a online group.

While stitching on it I watched Smallville, Supernatural , and Desperate Housewives.

I love to have candles burning and tarts as well. So I thought I would share what I had burning for the day. The candle in the family room was Spiced Apple by Home & Garden , which is a party plan. I had a Yankee Candle tart burning in the living room and that was Meadow Mist.
I also though I would share my hot tea. I don't drink it in the summertime but love a couple of cups in the cool evenings. So tonights was Bigelow Decaf Red raspberry. I have a full box of this.

Tomorrow, after work, I am taking Dylan shopping for some clothes. Then checking out BJs and Sam's Club to decide on what membership I want. My boss pays for most of it. I do have a 60 day free trial from BJs. It came in the mail yesterday so I checked out the one by where I work but I think it is smaller than the one in the city so I will check that one out since it is by the mall and Sam's Club is right down the road.

If I get a chance to stitch tomorrow it will be on Ruth's RR.
