Friday Cross Stitch Update

 QS Yesterdays Gone.  This is a wonderful chart t stitch and you really can't tell the colors from this picture.  I think I have to start to take pictures with a camera and not my phone.  But I really enjoyed my stitching this week.  It is 22 ct hardanger 1 over 1 full cross.  I love this chart. 

I switched on Wednesday this week so worked two days on my Halloween picture.  When I look at this I must remember every stitch brings me closer to the finish, else I would go nuts as this is just an easy stitch for me, how come it still takes me so long to make my x's.

This was the week of my birthday, and I did not do well with it.  However, I am much better now that it is over.  School is over for my grandkids finally - Little League is in playoffs, Basketball is over for the summer - only softball left for now.  Planning our Big 4th of July Family Event. There is only one holiday greater than this one in our family and that would be Thanksgiving.  Not taking away from Christmas, but we seriously do BIG things on Thanksgiving and 4th of July. 

This week coming up I will continue to work on my Halloween project, seriously people, I want to try to get a few more stitches in until I give up on it for good.

The themed SAL at HAED BB is Wings, so I will be working on Fairy Foal Hatching.  I am in the mood for Orange and Browns - which will be the same colors as Thanksgiving.

Enjoy the weekend, and thanks for Listening.

Cross stitch Update HAED SAL

 

Heaven and Earth Designs Week 2 SAL

 

 

Week Beginning - this is the UFO week, I am working on my QS Tomboy,it is one of my 2012 goals and I have been working on it for over a year now and not even one page done  She is 1 over 1  full crosses 22 ct Hardanger  Selina  Fenech Artist

Week Ending After picture - SAL Freebie SK Forbidden Doorway This is 2 over 1 full crosses on 1 ct aida Meredith Dillman - Artist This link takes you to the artist site and this full size picture, It was cropped for the Freebie SAL to be a SK size.  Please see Heaven And Earth Designs for more info,

These are both great for me, because I do not need help with the seeing - no mag glass.  It is awkward for me to use one.  Treasures on 25 - is hard, and Northern Lights on 28 hard - I may do a restart for Northern Lights - I really want to finish that project but the fabric count is holding me back

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope all of you are feeling loved today.  I am, as I am so blessed with kids and grandkids.  The day was not the best for Brittney and Heather, disappointed for sure, but you know what they say, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.  Brittney is right, everything happens for a reason,so there must be one.  

New Topic  This is the latest update of SK Treasures, Heaven and Earth Designs.  This week I am working on another Heaven and Earth Designs - Fancy Dancing by Teri Rosario.  I will post a picture on Thursday..  For all Heaven and Earth designs please check link on my favorites. 

Would be wrong not to mention Jeremy Lin #17 Knicks have to do that.  He is making a believer out of several non - believers, my Knicks have won six in a row.  And might as well mention here, once again, how upset I am that MSG and Time Warner could not do something to resolve their differences.  Which is amazing and I am sure this will all even out, but right now it is fun to be a Knick.  Talking about basketball SU just beat Louisville last night and they just did not seem to be there.  So glad they were able to beat both Pitt and Louisville Scoop and Joseph's Sr. Year. 

Loving, loving, my Color Nook.  It fits my needs perfectly.  Should spend more time reading and less time playing Solitaire, but it does make me happy.  Talking about reading Scottish Prisioner by Diana Gabaldon is very good for me.  Do I miss Claire, yes I do, but I also love Jamie and I also know I would love most anything she would write.  She does keep me interested, but do believe I should read once again the whole series before her next book.  There are so many books to read in so little time.

Love the new TV show on abc Once Upon a Time.  I really am addicted to it - hope the storyline stays this exciting.  Trying to keep up with Alcatraz on Fox, but it is harder. Both of these shows seem to have ties to Lost.  Love the introduction of Belle on Once - it is Claire from Lost.
