Fat Men Snow Belle SAL -- December 1

 Here he is, my first WIP PIC for my first Blogging SAL Event.  Isn't he just awesome - incredible.  No Beads yet. so the bunny is missing his tail - however, my FAT GUY( Lizzie Kate) is the best.  I started with this one, Snow Friends - and he is finished.  I am not sure where I will go from here.  We will see.

This is my first update of Christmas Is - Waxing Moon Designs.  New Start in November.  And then I have an update on It's Winter,Sue Hillis Designs.

  I have a new start for December, Country Cottage Needleworks Santa's Village which is another SAL for 2013.   

 

My Stitching Goals for the month of December are:

 

1.  Finish Snow Person Number 2 for my FMandSB SAL

2.  Finish Santa's Village Number 1

3.  Finish Christmas Is

4. Finish Winter

 

I believe setting goals is great - way to stay focused and keep your eye on the prize.  This month is a tough one for stitching, with all the holiday going ons, however, when something that is so relaxing and stress relieving as stitching is, this is the time of the year where it is most needed.

 

 

Sick Day

So I got the flu, I did not have the flu shot, and wouldn't you know it, I got the flu.  Did not go to work today, instead went to the Doctors.  1 hour and half at the doctors office, which I guess is not that bad, then another hour of course to pick up the prescriptions, I have something in the lungs, so there is antibiotics and an inhaler.  And the doctor told me to make sure I wear a hat.  No doctor has ever said that before, so I did think that was a little interesting. 

 

Stitching Update

Winter - Sue Hillis, update.  Sorry the picture is so dark.  Also worked on my Snow Friends (SAL) but I will not be showing those pictures until December 1

 Mail Received

Final Thread for my Witches Pantry, Cyndi, Beach Cottage Stitchers, when I ordered my Witch's Pantry, she was short one thread, so sent it off to me and received yesterday.  Do you know what was very nice - the hand written note, from the owner, wishing me luck on my stitching, and making sure we were all okay here because of Sandy... Some special Customer Service for sure.

My order from 123Stitch also arrived.  I can't say I have any one favorite Needlework Store.  I do try to buy local, but sometimes the online deals are hard to pass up.  I needed one more Fat Guy for my Collage, and because I never can order just one, I also purchased this great One Color Design.  Reminds me of my daughter, she is a Teddy Bear Lover. 

And this is Cleveland, my wonderful cat.  He is keeping me company while I am sick.  Most of the time Dakota is with us.


Time for me to take my meds and I am very tired.  Enjoy

Having great difficulty of late ignoring a challenge.  This is not a new problem for me, pretty typical, of my personality.  So the challenge to blog once a day for the month of November, I read about first in Dani's blog - well it was just one I had to take.  Now the thing about me and challenges, I am not interested if it is in competition with someone else, but when it is all about me - well you know that is right on time.

Enough already about the challenge.  Well one more thing, being I am in the U.S. and this is the month of our Thanksgiving, I figured I would end every post this month sharing one of my blessings with my readers. 

Don't know if you remember this little piece, I had started in the Summer, and then I lost it.  It has been found.  So this month while I am working on my Fat Men and Snow Belles SAL (see top left of blog for links to blogs of those stitching with me, and updates 1st of every month)

I am also going to try to get in a little stitching on this piece.   I would love it to be finished before December 1st too.  We will see.




So that's about it - well but the best for last - My blessing of the Day - A JOB.. I have worked the past 34 years for a Law Firm - Started in the Accounting Department/then to Technology/now eDiscovery.  I am so blessed to have a job I totally love,  my whole adult life.  Being a single mom for over 20 of those years, this was a must have for me.  I am so Blessed.
