Playing catch up

I thought I have been posting but obviously not. Today I had a stitch in at my house and 4 stitching friends all showed up. Karen, Jill, Char and Laurie. None have blogs but I have known them for 11 years thanks to The Cross Stitch Pals. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again.

So I started a new halloween piece since it is Halloween SAL Sunday. I am thinking , starting in January, to also do Fall and Thanksgiving on Sundays. Anyways here is Witchy Boot by San man Originals. Done on 28 ct jubilee Mint Green.

Thursday is Weight Watchers , after work. I always go to Coffee Culture and get a cup of tea and a muffin but this time I wanted to try their Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwich. Since I eat lunch at noon and don't get out of the WW meeting til 6 I do have to eat something. Anyways when I was done there I headed to the parking lot and still had 10 minutes, til the doors opened. So I started a new Zentangle. I started with a few hearts. I then pulled it back out last night and finished it. I think it is cute. I started a new one today and forgot to scan a pic so will do that when I finish it. By the way I lost .8 lbs so I have an average of a lb a week.

All week I stitched on HAED SK Sunny. I got one column done and started working on another one. I am hoping to finish this page this month.

Monday night my local library has knitters and crocheters come in and sit at the table to work together and I was told I could bring my stitching. So I finished Quaker Halloween by San Man Originals. I don't know what is up with the San Man freebies but I have stitched a lot of them and still have quite a few more.

Thank you all for looking and appreciate the comments.

Friday SAT

Tonight was Friday SAT and I stitched quite a bit on Cat-O-Lantern. Loving this piece and hope to finish it this weekend.
This week I also finished my first Zentagle. It was a lot of fun and took me back to my teenage years.

Tonight's TV viewing:
General Hospital - 10/7 , 10/8
Medium
Smallville - 10/1

Tomorrow will be a busy day. I have my bookcross meeting at Lovin' Cup and Scott is going with me so we can get him a new cell phone. The volume is going in his. Then I can buy 2 shelves and the brackets. Hoping to get some magazine holders as well.

Dylan txt me tonight and he is doing well in UTI. They have what is called phases every 3 weeks and they graduate every 3 weeks. Well last Friday he was done with his first phase and has a GPA of 4.0, woohoo! I am so proud of him.

HAED SK Sunny

Tonight I pulled out HAED SK Sunny. I haven't worked on this since August. I will be stitching on this through Thursday.

I listened to more of the audiobook Hold Tight by Harlan Coben and am hoping to finish it tomorrow night.

While waiting for my shows to start tonight I pulled out my sketchbook and pens and started a Zentangle. I will post a pic when I finish it. Nothing fancy but a start and a lot of fun.

Tonight I watched:
House
Netflix- The Back-Up Plan

Thanks to Scott He put up 2 of the shelves in my craft room. I did start putting things on the one shelf. The top shelf will be for my mags and hardcover books. Anyone know where I can buy bookends? I am going to buy magazine holders for all my mags. Nothing fancy but something sturdy.

Thanks for all your comments. They mean a lot to me.

The RR is done

I finished it tonight and have another square to do on another one sitting here. Then I think I have one more to stitch on. I really like this RR group and they want to do another one the beginning of the year. The thing is I think I want to skip a year. I have so many WIps and UFOs that I really want to get done. Also some new starts :-) There are things that I also would like to stitch and start doing small giveaways or random acts of kindness.
On top of that I would like to set aside 1 night a week and start doing Zentangles as they look like so much fun. I plan on buying 1 book this week, a sketchbook and some markers.

Tonight I finished the Audiobook: The Shack by William P. Young. It is a very moving book. Next up on my ipod is Hold Tight by Harlan Coben.

Thanks for the comments, love them.

Halloween Sunday

I cleaned up the rest of the craft room. Added a few things in there, to get out of the way from where they were. Spent some time on the computer looking up more Zentangle. Then sat and stitched on Cat-O-Lantern. Love this piece.

I watched a few movies as well:
17 Again - really good
Land of the Lost- sucked
The 19th Wife- Lifetime Movie and really good

Tomorrow will be back to stitching on the RR.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate them

Night and {{{hugs}}}

Friday SAT

Friday night was a SAT with Lets Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I pulled out LHN Glory To God from the JCS 2008 issue. I had started it in March. While stitching I started listening to The Shack by William P. Young. Very good.

Saturday :
Scott, Justin and I went to the Farmer's Market and the a local store to buy meat. Later on Scott and I went to Walmart so I could get another photo box for my specialty threads. Then to Home Depot to get a clothes rod for Justin's closet and I wanted to look at and price shelving for my craft room. Found what I wanted and am going to go with Cherry shelves. I will buy a little bit at a time.

When I came home I read friend's blogs and I was reading Louisiana Momma's post about her zentangle and remembered I saw this a while ago, online. Well I used to do this in the 80s. Art was my major in school and I was always drawing. So I believe I will buy a sketchbook and a couple of pens and start doing this again. I love Louisiana Momma's Halloween ones and you know how much I love Halloween, so I can't wait to do some. I even found my sketches from the 80's. I still have my art portfolio.

Hoping to stitch quite a bit on Cat-O-Lantern today. See you later.

Thanks so much for the comments , I love them all :-)
