S is For stitcher - top half done

I finished the top half for S is For Stitcher and it will go back into rotation. This is from the June 2008 Cross Country Stitching magazine.

My order from HAED came in today. It was in appreciation for all of their hard work and they have been talking about shutting down business because people are posting the charts illegally, online.
I bought:

 Faces Rae - Hannah Disney

 Faces of Faery 135 - Jasmine Becket-Griffith

 Faces of Faery 88 Jasmine Becket-Griffith

 Mini Felicity Hannah Lynn

 Mini Hannah Lynn - Hannah Lynn

 QS Rosita - Hannah Disney

QS Sea Star Jasmine Becket-Griffith

I love them all and will stitch them someday :-)

I have been reading and watching movies.

I am done reading the Hannah Swensen mysteries by Joanne Fluke. I really enjoyed them. I am still listening to the FBI series by Catherine Coulter. I have one more book after the one I am listening to. Right now I am reading V is for Vandetta by Sue Grafton.

Last night's movie was The Vow, which I really enjoyed. Tonight's movie is Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

I also will be stitching on Rocky Mountain Christmas.

Thank you all for the comments, they mean a lot to me.

Sept. IHSW & TUSAL

This weekend was the IHSW and I stitched on S is For Stitcher . This is out of the June 2008 Cross Country Stitching magazine. I ran out of the yellow that you see under the letters E & R. So I went to Michaels after work. They were out of this color. So DH said he will go to a local craft store and see if they have it.

Yesterday was also TUSAL and the threads in the orts glass are from HAED Aurora's Garden and S is For Stitcher.

This is busy season at work and we have picked up a lot since last season. Very tired when I get home so you may not see me leaving comments on your blogs and you may not seeing me post much on my blog. I am ok, just may not be on as much.

IHSW and catching up

First off this weekend is IHSW and I plan to do a lot. It has been a crazy 2 weeks at work and I need to veg all weekend. Supposed to be cool this weekend, can you say Autumn? My favorite time of year.

I know that I haven't been on here lately. So let's back up and see... oh yeah I finished page 2 of Aurora's Garden

Next rotation I will finish her.

Sept. 2 DH and I went to the NY State Festival of Balloons in Dansville, NY. They also had a car show that day. I love the muscle cars and will show you a couple pics and since you know what hot air balloons look like then I will post pics of the unique ones.

I have also been stash shopping. I know, I said no more charts til I finish everything that I have started. But who can resist HAEDs and trying to support them this week.
So the past few weeks I have ordered 3-4 pieces of Picture This Plus fabric for some charts in the JCS Halloween issue. Then I ordered a years subscription to Stoney Creek Magazine. I received the JCS Christmas Ornament issue. So for HAED I have ordered and received Boo from Randall Spangler during the Labor Day sale. I am starting that January 1 with a few other stitchers. Then yesterday for HAED appreciation week I ordered:
Minis:
Felicity
Hannah Lynn

QS:
Rosita
Sea Star

Faces of HAED:
Faces Rae
Faces of Faery 135
Faces of Faery 88

I pulled out S is For Stitcher from a Cross Country stitching magazine. I started it a few years ago and will post a pic on Sunday night.

My manager was out on Medical leave from Sept 4 - Sept. 12. She came back yesterday. We were very busy while she was gone and when she is gone then I am in charge. So more hours and very tired when I got home. Busy season has hit us hard and way more work than 3 people can handle. But my paycheck is nice :-)

Have a great IHSW!!

August Bue Moon WICapolypse

This is the 2nd WIPocalypse for the month. Since the last one I stitched on more of Faces of Faery 66

I also have been stitching on HAED Aurora's Garden. I want to finish page 2 before putting it back into rotation.

I do not know where the month of August went.
True Blood season finale was last Sunday and what a blood bath that season was. Then Tuesday was the season finale of Pretty Little Liars, shocking parts on that. Now the new shows are on for September. General Hospital is being moved to an hour earlier. Live With Kelly will reveal her new cohost this Tuesday.
Oct 1 is a new show I am dying for. In The 90's and some of 2000s there was a show on ABC Family called Home&Family. It had Christine Ferrari and Chuck Woolery as the hosts. Then Michale Burger took over for Chuck Woolery. It was on for 2 hours in the afternoons and was full of tips and all kinds of things. Well it is back on and will be on the Hallmark Channel from 10am-noon est. It has Mark Steines, who left Entertainment Tonight and Page ? from Trading Spaces. I watched Home & Family faithfully every weekday. I was so upset when they changed the format of ABC Family and let the show go. It is still going to be produced by Woody Frasier. That is one thing I am looking forwards to this fall season.
As for evening shows, I have decided not to pick up any new shoes. I was going to watch Green Arrow and the Beauty & the Beast. But I would rather watch what is left of my shows and then watch more movies/read/listen to audiobooks. I am having a void of not being able to watch Desperate Housewives anymore and the very ending of that was sad.
I have a feeling it is the last season for a few of my shows: Supernatural, Bones, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice. They are long running shows and PP has a few major actors/actresses leaving the show.  No, I haven't heard any rumors. Just my take on the shows.

Have a Happy Labor Day!!! No plans except to go see the Balloon Festival in Dansville, NY.

Please support HAED

If you are a fan and collect their charts, not to mention stitch them, then please read on.



After Michele mentioned on Facebook that she's very concerned about being able to continue her business, citing declining sales, copyright abuse, increasing operating costs and taxes, some stitchers suggested a HAED
 Appreciation Week.

Here's a copy of the message being shared on Facebook:
CALLING ALL BLOGGERS! Please show your support for HAED and Michele Sayetta by considering advertising HAED Appreciation Week on your blog. The event is from Sept 10-14th; during this week we are encouraging all HAED customers to make an extra purchase to support the HAED business so Michele
can continue to provide us with the extraordinary charts we have all come to love.
I know many of us are actively stitching HAED charts, so I thought I'd share this with you.

TUSAL and IHSW

The other day was TUSAL and I didn't get to post til tonight. So the threads in my glass are from:
Marty Bell's Rocky Mountain Christmas, HAED Faces of Faery 66, and HAED Aurora's Garden.

Also this weekend was IHSW and I stitched on HAED Aurora's Garden.

Friday - I got up and got all ready for work. I stepped down into my family room and stepped right on top of the dog's rubber fire hydrant and twisted my ankle so bad. I ended up staying home from work, I couldn't walk very well so kept my foot elevated and iced every once in a while. DH kept yelling at the dog about his stupid toys. The dog is totally mine so he came over and was licking my face with his sad eyes. Ended up propped up on the couch stitching all day an catching up on TV shows that I had DVRd.

Saturday - we went to the Erie County Fair, outside of Buffalo. The boys went with us and Dylan brought Allie and Justin brought his best friend. I ended up being able to walk all day. Saw a wolf show, they are so gorgeous , and monkeys. Gt home and rested my ankle. Didn't really swell up.

Today- Kept an eye on my ankle today. Is a little sensitive but I can walk on it. Watched all the rest of the DVrd shows and just have movies left. Stitched and washed laundry all day. Watched tonight's episode of True Blood. Next Sunday is the season finale.

Have a great night!

HAED Aurora's Garden progress

I pulled out Aurora's Garden from the UFO pile. I haven't stitched on this since April 2010. This is for a very special young woman and it is back in my rotation so I can get it done. Right now I am on page 2 and when that page is done it will get put away until the next rotation. So this is what I have done including stitching last night and today on it.

Last night I got caught up on the General Hospitals that I had DVrd, while the Olympics were on. Tonight was catching up on Pretty Little Liars. Tomorrow night will be True Blood and about 3 weeks worth of Live With Kelly! When I watch Live though they don't take me as long. If I don't care for her co host then I am done after their little chat session. If I don't care for the celebrity that they are interviewing then I skip that part. Thursday night I will try to finish the Live With Kelly's.

Last night I finished the book The Chocolate Pirate Club by Joanna Carl and started The Chocolate Castle Clue by Joanna Carl. I am also listening to Whiplash by Catherine Coulter and am almost 1/2 done with that.

Everyone have a good night.

Closing Ceremony

First I want to say how much I enjoyed the Summer Olympics. I don't usually watch them and was actually quite surprised that it was on every time I was home. Justin even watched them with me. Our Favorite was Misty and Kerri for the Beach Volleyball. I liked our other team too but these 2 had us on the edge of our seats. Synchronized swimming and diving was also another one we got into. I always said I would never watch them , well we did. I am proud of all our teams and the other countries even the ones who didn't get a medal. They made it to the Olympics and should be proud of themselves.
Now I LOVED the opening ceremony but the closing was ok.
Remember I started a new piece for an Olympic challenge? I started it during the Opening Ceremonies and stitched on it til 7 pm last night. My parents invited Justin and I to watch the ceremonies at their house, They bought 2 HD tvs and said we had to come over. So now I want a HD tv lol.

Anyways here is what I did during the Olympics. She will go into my rotation.

HAED Faces of Faery 66
25 ct - 1x1

I also bought 2 new charts since HAED had a 50% sale and who can pass those up. I bought Faces of Feary 81 by JBG and also Boo by Spangler. There are 4 of us starting Boo as a SAL and will start January 1. Should be fun.

I also received a pkg in the mail from a friend, full of specialty floss, tea, bookmarks, 3 cozy mystery books and a HAED. Love getting pkgs in the mail.

Faces of Faery 66 progress

I am still stitching away on this and watching the Olympics. Last night Dylan and Allie decided to come over and hang out. We watched Battleship. Awesome movie. They fell asleep an hour into the movie. They can't keep up with the old lady lol.

Wednesday i went to wash clothes and my wash machine was broken. It was old so yesterday Scott and I went and bought a new one. Nothing fancy.

Supposed to be in the 90s and humid today so you know I will be in my air conditioned family room.

Everyone have a great day!

Aug. 1 WIPocalypse

I don't know where July went. Flew on by. This month there are 2 WIPocalypse to report on.
This time I have 3 pics to share since last month's Wipocalypse.
I finished HAED SK Sunny

I stitched a little bit on Marty Bell's Rocky Mountain Christmas.

Then I joined the bandwagon to have a new Olympic start and only stitch on this during the Olympics, then put it back in my rotation.
This is HAED's Faces of Faery. It was RAKd to me as well.,

____________________________________________________________________________


I finished listening to Knockout by Catherine Coulter. Next up is Whiplash by Catherine Coulter. I am also reading the Chocoholics mysteries by Joanna Carl.

Thanks for visiting and for the comments

an Olympics new start

The other day I was given a gift of a new HAED chart. It is Faces of Faery 66

So after a lot of consideration, I decided to start a new piece and stitch on it through all of the Olympics. I don't ever watch Summer Olympics, I LOVE Winter Olympics. But this year I decided to and it was another first of ever watching the Opening Ceremonies and they were awesome! I was in awe of the whole thing. I have watched the US get a lot of medals, today.So here is where I am at tonight with this piece.

There are large blocks of color so I am hoping to have more progress reports this week.

I have also decided to try a rotation after the Olympics are over. I have it written down and can't wait. Maybe have more finishes done this way and will be able to fit in smalls.

Thanks for visiting and for the comments.

July IHSW

Yes, it was a weekend of stitching for the IHSW. I stitched on Rocky Mountain Christmas. I do have the top half done and this weekend I put in about 700 stitches. I am not showing the whole thing til I get a whole page done. This is the section I worked on.

I started this January 2001 as a SAL and my goal is to finish this by Thanksgiving.

I read a little bit today of The Divide by Nicholas Evans.

I also watched 3 episodes of Live with Kelly and 3 episodes of General Hospital. Then I watched Pixars Cars 2 and tonight's episode of True Blood, which was really gory tonight.

It was another warm and humid day today. The a/c was on for most of the day and will have it on while sleeping.

Thanks for visiting and all the comments. I appreciate them.

July TUSAL

Here is my ort glass for this month. I know I am a couple of days late, for the TUSAL. All the orts are from HAED SK Sunny. The red plastic threads sticking up are from the stitching guides.

 This weekend is also IHSW - International Stitching Weekend. I have been stitching on Rocky Mountain Christmas and will post a progress tonight.

Major Happy Dance

She is finished!!

HAED SK Sunny

25 ct eveanweve

1x1

7/5/10-7/17/12

I had Justin draw what my next UFO was to finish and the winner is.......

Rocky Mountain Christmas - Marty Bell

I don't know what I am going to do with Sunny. Probably get her framed and hang her in my family room. Rocky Mountain Christmas was started as a SAL in January of 2001 and is my oldest UFO. This is for me as I love it. Just hate confetti stitching.

I listened to quite a bit of Knock Out by Catherin Coulter and am halfway through it.

Well now you will have to keep your eyes open on my RMC progress.

Oh so close

I didn't stitch last week because of the heat but I did stitch yesterday and then all day today. Only a little bit more to go on HAED SK Sunny.

Last week I finished reading the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy. I loved them. I also read Kindred by Octavia E. Butler and I highly recommend that book. Right now I am reading Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult.

DS#1 had totaled his car on July 3. This past week the insurance company agreed it was totaled so they gave him enough to pay off the car and enough for a down payment on a new car. He bought a 2010 green Chevy Cobalt, 5 speed. Really nice car. Still learning how to drive it.
He wasn't hurt in the accident. The car in front of him slammed on their brakes to avoid deer and he slowed down but didn't stop fast enough and hit her. She just had a little paint scraped off her car. It was a 2002 Ford Taurus.

Scott and I will be celebrating our 24th wedding Anniversary on July 16. So yesterday i bought him an outfit. He doesn't like to wear shorts but this summer has been unbearably hot so I bought him cargo shorts, a polo shirt and croc sandals. So he wore it while he took me out for dinner at The Original Crab Shack. Oh sooo good.

Well that's it for now. I will post again when I finish Sunny :-)

July Wipocalypse

How did I miss this the other day? I know it has been a hot and busy week. Anyways since last month's all I have been stitching on is HAED SK Sunny. Same picture as the last post. I am hoping to really get a lot accomplished on her this week. Go check out July's Wipocalypse on Measi's Musings.

Today I also set up my jewlery supplies and made a lot. I will post pics this week.

I also finished Fifty Shades of Gret and Fifty Shades Darker. I am now reading Fifty Shades Freed. The author is E L James.

Happy 4th of July

I hope everyone had a great 4th. I took pics of all my jewelry and made a page on my blog. Go check it out. Then I sat and stitched all day. It was another very hot and humid day so I enjoyed the a/c. Watched episodes of TV shows on my DVR.
So here is how much I got done on HAED SK Sunny

Last night Justin (DS#1) was in a car accident. The car in front of him had slammed on her brakes as a deer ran out in front of her. Justin slammed on his brakes but still hit her. He is ok, no one was hurt but his car was totaled. So now he is driving mine til he can get something else. For some reason the cop forgot to give Justin his license back. The cop wasn't working today so they have to get that back, tomorrow. Justin did get a ticket for driving to close to the vehicle in front of him. Thank god that no one was hurt.

Another progress update

For 2 night I have been stitching away on HAED SK Sunny. If I didn't have plans for this whole weekend I probably could make my goal of finishing it by Sunday night. But I am not going to sweat over it. It will be done in July :-)

I watched a new show tonight. Craft Wars on TLC at 10pm est. It was a lot of fun to watch.

Still reading 50 Shades of Grey and listening to Tailspin by Catherine Coulter.

Alot of Sunny progress

I was determined to stitch a lot on this today and all this week. Remember my goal is to finish it the end of this month. So after grocery shopping and doing some laundry, the remote and needle became my friend.
I watched:
Unknown - good
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hollows part 2
True Blood

So here is my progress pic

Thanks for looking and leaving comments.

Now I am going to go read some more of 50 Shades of Grey - ohhhh sooo steamy.

progress on SK Sunny

I made quite a bit of progress today. If you remember my goal was to finish it this month. I only have 7more days. I am trying to get all the confetti stitching done and then it is all filling in big blocks of color.

Watched:
The Tourist
Cinderella Story- Sing me a Song
Sixteen Candles

June Tusal

I forgot to post the other day for TUSAL. I only stitched on HAED SK Sunny and most of the threads I was using, I didn't need to cut off and put in my ort container. So here is what I have:

This is Sunny progress for today:

While I was trying to take these pictures, I had a little help.

This is Princess Ruby. She was Dylan's kitten when he first moved to PA. But after a month he had to find a new apartment. The new roommate was allergic to cats. So, of course, i took her. She is now about 2 years old. She doesn't care for Dylan anymore and seems to prefer me and my hubby. She can be quite a handful.

Serious Stitchers

I have started a new Yahoo group for serious stitchers with UFOs and WIPs that want all the encouragement they need to finish them. No challenges or SALs for new starts. OT is limited but there is something different every day to talk about.
I couldn't have done this without my moderators:
Nancy
Faith
Mary

Please join us at Serious-UFO-WIP-Stitchers

June IHSW

This weekend was IHSW. I only stitched for about 2 hours. But it is closer to a finish. Here is what I have so far on HAED SK Sunny.

I only have a couple more rows to go and it will be finished.

I was tagged

I was tagged by Julie and have to answer the following. Then I will have to come up with questions and tag 11 people. This is just for fun.

1.)  Chocolate, Vanilla, or Strawberry?  (If none of these are acceptable, you must choose a flavor that is!) Hmmmm. If soft ice cream then it is vanilla. Ice cream is chocolate and strawberries fresh from the store LOL.


2.)  If you could meet any famous person, living or dead, and ask them one question (ONLY ONE), who would it be and what would you ask them? John Stamos - will you marry me?  Tee hee hee


3.)  What's the hardest thing you've ever done and why was it so difficult? Going back to work after being a SAHM for almost 18 years. I love being home and doing what I want. Time to clean, be on the computer, stitch more and read more.


4.)  Who did you look up to as a child, and do you still look up to them today?  (This can be a parent, a rock star, an athelete, whatever.  You can also list multiple people.) I don't really remember looking up to anyone. My maternal grandmother because she could cook awesome and she painted. My maternal grandfather because he always spent time with me, he helped me learn to drive andwe always went on long bike rides.


5.)  List the pros and cons (for you, keep it personal) of what you do for a living.  If you could go back and do it again, would you do the same thing, or change it?  What would you change it to, and why? I am a forage lab technician. The pros - I only work with 2 other women so no backstabbing since we all get a long well. cons- putting up with the clients when things don't go their way. Even though we do the best we can.


6.)  What's your favorite meal?  (You can say anything in response to this, including dinner, breakfast, tea, lunch, etc.  It can be your fave meal of the day, or meatloaf and mashers.  Up to you.) I love seafood, any kind so as long as it has that in it then I am happy.


7.)  What's your favorite way to communicate your ideas to others?  How often to you partake of this method of communication? In person. Things come out wrong in emails and txting.


8.)  What's the nicest thing you've ever done for someone you don't know?  Talking to en elderly woman , who had just hit a dog. Everyone, including my DH was helping the woman whose dog was hit. The lady kept crying she was sorry and never saw the dog. He just came out of nowhere. No one asked her if she was ok. I stood by her til the cop got there, to make sure she was ok and to let her know it was an accident. The owner of the dog did not blame her at all.


9.)  What's the number one problem with the world today? POLITICIANS!!!!!


10.)  Do you like technology, or are you one of those people that only puts up with it when they have to?  (By tech, I don't only mean computers.  I mean smart phones and HDTV and digital radio and iPods and everything.) I like technology. I have a smart phone and I can read my emails and Facebook when I am not home. I can go online to find something or a place and I like my navigator to get me to new places. I also have an ipod that has audiobooks on it. I can listen to it when I am in a certain job at work also.


11.)  If you could have one perfect day, who would you see and what would you do?  (Get descriptive here people.  Write a paragraph or two.) I would love a romantic day with my husband. No cell phones or anything. Just to drive to a beach and have a picnic then after that drive to a state park to see all the wildlife when it is dusk out. Just him and I since we don't ever do anything.

June Wipocalypse

It's that time of the month to post what I have stitched on since the last Wipocalypse
HAED SK Sunny

Mirabilia Halloween Fairy

I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted. I have been stitching though. I have put aside Halloween Fairy so I can finish Sunny.

I also have been busy making jewelry so I can start doing home parties. I am excited about that.
I really don't have any other news from my end. I have been reading and listening to audiobooks. I finished The Hunger Games series, still on the Catherine Coulter FBI series. I also started a new book by a new author. She is married to my cousin and I am enjoying this book very much. It is called The Fairytale Keeper and is book 1 of a trilogy. It is by Andrea Cefalo. It just hit the bookstores and Amazon June 1.

IHSW & TUSAL

This weekend was the IHSW weekend. I stitched on HAED SK Sunny.

I also stitched on Mirabilia Halloween Fairy

Today was TUSAL and here is this month's ort container. All the threads in this are from the Halloween Fairy and Sunny.

Yesterday and today were very hot and humid. We even had an air quality alert today.

Lots of beads have been coming in the mail, from ebay. I am hoping to make more jewelry next weekend. I would have made some this weekend but I wanted to do the IHSW instead. Nothing else going on in my part of the world.

row 1 of page 3 done

I have been stitching as much as I can on HAED SK Sunny. This is moving right along and this page doesn't have a lot of confetti stitching.

This week has had quite a few series and season finales. They have all been emotional.
I watched:
Once Upon A Time
Desperate Housewives - ending was emotional
Bones
House- finale is next week
Private Practice
Revenge- finale is next week
tonight's Grey's Anatomy- could not believe who it was that died.  I won't spoil this for those who haven't watched it yet.

I got back the results of my CT scan, I do have a hernia but they want me to lose 10-20 lbs by mid July before they do surgery. There is also some other health issues that showed up but these specialists don't deal with them and don't really understand them so I see my regular doctor next week, to deal with them. I am sure everything will be fine though. Will post more after that appointment.

I finished listening to Point Blank by Catherine Coulter and will start listening to a Sandra Brown audiobook. I will also be starting to read Double Take by Catherine Coulter.

Thanks for reading and leaving comments. I appreciate all of you.

Page 2 is finished!!

I did it, I finished page 2 of HAED SK Sunny. I then gridded page 3, which is the final page, and put in a few stitches.

My goal is to finish her by the end of June. Since there is a lot of block stitching without changing colors I should be able to do it.

I had my CT scan this morning. So not only didn't I care for the doctor's office or the doctor and his assistant , I also was mad today. I went to the building for the CT scan. I gave my name and they have no folder on me. The doctor's office never sent over the acquisition forms so there was nothing there. They had to wait for them. It didn't take long but at this point if I need surgery do I really want those yahoos touching me?

So today I went through all my blogs in Google Reader and got rid of the ones who haven't posted to their blogs this year. I left comments on quite a few.

Then I watched:
General Hospital
Witches of Oz - miniseries I DVRd from Encore
The Vampire Diaries season finale
Grey's Anatomy

I also read some more Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.

Have a good night.

Wednesday's progress

Took Dylan out for dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Then bought some groceries, came home and stitched. I made some more progress on Sunny.

I watched:
General Hospital
Red- with Bruce Willis- very good

Reading: Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins
Audiobook: Point Blank - Catherine Coulter

Tomorrow is my CT scan. Wish me luck.

I found out that some ladies from the 123 board are meeting Saturday, at the LNS in E. Rochester and spending the day there so I have decided to join them. I have never met any of them and it should be fun. I told DH that I am taking the Saturday off from his parents so he is on his own :-). He was fine with that.

Thanks for reading and leaving comments.

Another update

I walked for 30 minutes today and used weights for my arms. Felt good.

Sat down and stitched on more of Sunny.

Tonight's movie was the mini series of Stephen King's Bag of Bones. I had DVRd it last year. Then I watched Private Practice.

Also read quite a bit more of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.

Thanks for reading my blog and leaving comments.

2 more squares finished

I didn't go into work today as I had a doctor's appointment. Did not go the way I expected and not to fond of the doctor I saw.
Anyways I called into work to see if I was needed but was told no. Not much work anyways. I was able to stitch for a few hours and finished up 2 more squares.

I also read quite a few blogs and left comments on a few. Trying to read a few a day. Also getting an exercise routine going again.

I read some more of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I want to read a little bit more tonight.

Everyone have a great evening. Thanks for reading and leaving comments.

May's WIPocalypse

I have done very well stitching on HAED SK Sunny and she has been my main focus for the WIPocalypse.

I have 1 more row til page 2 is finished. Then Page 3 is the last page.

I did stitch a little bit on Mirabilia's Halloween Fairy.

Sorry I have been MIA. The past 2 weeks has been on ebay buying a lot of beads for making my jewelry. Plus my main focus has also been SK Sunny. I haven't read blogs or been in my forums. This week I hope to do some catching up. I have to stop buying beads as I bought enough to make jewelry for the rest of the year. I am hoping to do mainly home parties with a couple of cheaper rental craft shows. I also will post some on here and you can buy from me as well.

I am on the 3rd book of The Hunger Games, Mockinjay. I love this series. I am also still listening to Catherine Coulter's FBI series and am listening to Point Blank.

Dylan is still job hunting. He has had a couple of nibbles and they like him and he waits for them to call him back plus he calls them.  Hopefully he will get hired real soon. Right now he is at Walmart because he got transferred from the one he was at in PA.

Well hopefully I will blog more and read yours.

4/27 Friday Bead Night

Allie and I went to Michaels, in Batavia, for Bead Night. I mad the 2 bracelets on the left and then came home and made the other 2. The one on the left is mine. The other 3 are for sale.

A big thank you to Amy, the instructor.

Sunny is moving along

I have been stitching on HAED SK Sunny all week. I finished a row and halfway through another row. Nearing the end of page 2 and then onto page 3, which is the last page. Which also has less confetti stitching.

Since my last post I also finished reading Dark Lover by J.R. Ward. A Vampire book and some erotica in it. I enjoyed it. I also finished the audiobook, Blow Out by Catherine Coulter. I am now reading the 2nd book of the Hunger Games, Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. Hard to put down. I will be starting the audiobook, Point Blank by Catherine Coulter, tomorrow.

Tonight Justin and I went to the movies and saw The Lucky One. Really good. I read the book when it first came out so not sure how accurate the movie was compared to the book. But 1 of my co workers read the book last week and saw the movie over the weekend. She said it didn't follow the book very well.

Well that's it for now. Have a good night and thanks for reading.
