Friday Cross Stitch Update

Unspoken 2012_06_14

Stitching big blocks of the same color helps me to complete my stitching goals for the week.  I was happy to put in 1000 stitches this week, I focus on completed, and not what is left -- I hope some day to be able to get that close to finishing an HAED design it will become my focus.  This was all 939 and 823 I do wish the coverage was a little better, can still see the fabric, but it will be okay for me.  This is a Jule Fain chart, HAED has retired. 

Santa Stocking NON HAED 2012_06_14

And My non HAED - I finished his sleeve and almost another finger... I am very happy.  One day this week I worked on Santa.



This upcoming week - my birthday week - off three days Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - doing a little camping to celebrate my birthday - so not sure how much stitching will get done, but I will be working on a new start - my Winning Chart from Fabulous Frogger's giveaway - and yes I am still talking about it - This is a new start, so no pictures yet - will be starting in the top left hand corner - please see completed chart picture down the left hand side of blog - or in last post before this one.

And for my NON HAED this week, I will be working on.  This will be a quick one I hope - with no back stitching and no half stitches I think, so it will keep me in the flow. 

Have an amazing week -

New Start - Fabulous Frogger Giveaway

I was so lucky to win Fabulous Froggers Giveaway, a brand new HAED,with fabric and floss.  SO SERIOUS....  This is QS Yesterday's Gone - Molly Harrison.  I have received floss, fabric, and chart, and have everything almost ready to go.  Will do a little gridding and plan on starting this upcoming Friday.  I am so very excited.  This in not only a most beautiful chart, but think about it Yesterday's Gone.  For real.  PAY ATTENTION MINDY-- you have Today... Live it, and make a memory.

I am a WINNER

Seriously me, I am a winner.. Thank you Thank you Thank you Fabulous Frogger you are so generous. And I am so lucky.

I will be starting this before end of month. This is my birthday month, I was planning a new start, and now I know the perfect one.

When you are really so happy, why does Thank you just not sound good enough... As the kids say it sounds sort of lame.  But this is a 5 star event for sure.

Also the concert this weekend was slammin!!!!!!

It is rainy here for my day off, perfect day for Spring Cleaning - but that is not happening, I have decided to treat myself to a movie Snow White and the Huntsman to celebrate my winning....

Finished Game of Thrones Book 2 Clash of Kings this weekend, downloaded to Nook Storm of Swords  But seriously I have to get away from those Seven Kingdoms.  I am to addicted, and each book seems to draw me in more and more...

Just going to be a great day......
