How are you?" comments. I have been just fine. Just life getting in the way of anything enjoyable. I got a promotion at work and some days it just stresses me out too much to have the patience to count. LOL i've been doing a lot of beading, reading, and some stitching here and there. I did make Emily a birthday present back in May you can click <a href="http://emmiesramblings.blogspot.com/2011/06/stitchy-bug.html">HERE</a> to see it. I've also worked a little bit on a couple other things here and there. I try to go to the stitchy store on Saturday mornings and stitch with the girls when I can but its hard when I have to work most Saturdays.
<br />
<br />In a couple weeks we are moving into a new apartment. I'm so excited!!! I'm thinking once we are settled in and mostly unpacked I will be picking up my needle and thread again! I've really been itching to stitch again lately. I've even bought a couple new patterns, threads, and cloth to get me in the mood again!
<br />
<br />Well I hope to start catching up on some of your blogs again. If I missed anything important please fill me in!!! LOL. Miss you all!

I haven't even been reading blogs the past couple of weeks. But i'm going to try to get back into some rhythm here. Also a message to Denise and Teresa I have your packages. I feel so bad for not getting them out to you guys yet. But I promise it will be soon!!!! I'm taking a new friend with me Saturday to the stitchy store to stitch with the ladies. She only does a little bit of cross stitch and all she has ever bought has been kits from Michaels and JoAnn's so Saturday should be fun for her! On a stitchy note I didn't get 'Autumn in NY' done but I did get a little chunk of it done. I don't know if i'll take that with me Saturday or maybe 'Daisy Girl' she seems to be calling my name. Well i'm off to do some errands today and hopefully try to catch up on some blogs! <br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/curiouskttycat/?action=view&current=Untitled-1.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/curiouskttycat/Untitled-1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Kttycathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02071599632101454193noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886575807499982440.post-91095119921389538192011-04-03T20:28:00.003-04:002011-04-03T20:32:48.474-04:00New Moon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0PL6NqEy3ZE24qnyGwqBiw11FbR3f6Few3qzZl3tcPyGetGvroMq3u-sxLH6oDj4lJd0szpslg0RXuw8XnkRMHVQoi-ntcl3lf_31qTJocdH0PEmEqiRa66lmUZRyA80awlhF1EvcSbhX/s1600/100_0423.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 146px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0PL6NqEy3ZE24qnyGwqBiw11FbR3f6Few3qzZl3tcPyGetGvroMq3u-sxLH6oDj4lJd0szpslg0RXuw8XnkRMHVQoi-ntcl3lf_31qTJocdH0PEmEqiRa66lmUZRyA80awlhF1EvcSbhX/s200/100_0423.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591519658025335458" /></a><br />Another new moon so that means an update of my TUSAL jar. Not too much added recently with my not stitching a whole lot. The fabric in the pic John picked out for me to make some bandannas for Rex to wear. Well i'm going to go try and work on 'Autumn in NY' that is if Rex will let me. He has fallen in love with sitting on my lap and he's too big for me to stitch while hes there.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/curiouskttycat/?action=view&current=Untitled-1.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/curiouskttycat/Untitled-1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Kttycathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02071599632101454193noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886575807499982440.post-77739987192796152372011-04-02T10:26:00.003-04:002011-04-02T10:44:50.128-04:00Spring swap goodies & some cross stitchI got my Spring Swap in the mail yesterday (keep an eye out for what I sent to my partner).

I have managed to do a little bit of stitching. Sadly not on any of my Crazy 15. But I did the ornament for my giveaway. A spring RAK and i've started a little easter stitch for an Easter/Spring swap. I'm hoping after I get it finished maybe I will want to pick up one of my 15. *fingers crossed* Well i'm off to play some video games with John.<br /><br /><a href="http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/curiouskttycat/?action=view&current=st_patricks_day_divider_004.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/curiouskttycat/st_patricks_day_divider_004.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Happy Stitching!<br /><br /><a href="http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/curiouskttycat/?action=view&current=sig-3.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/curiouskttycat/sig-3.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Kttycathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02071599632101454193noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886575807499982440.post-81613773941712011932011-03-11T10:47:00.003-05:002011-03-11T10:51:32.693-05:00Pay it Forward<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuNMZUg_4I86308JYICalpQVu5Cvb7VzQ9nvmPg-v_OPLleXE5fYpoRos0kh-Pcu5VZ3QjdsTIhjY6tQSFlM4Lsuj2W1GsZqmnI6pwKDBWjetyPWnGrfPt-3yiKZmp4cZBFT7Zwcz3oUY-/s1600/pay+it+forward.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 114px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuNMZUg_4I86308JYICalpQVu5Cvb7VzQ9nvmPg-v_OPLleXE5fYpoRos0kh-Pcu5VZ3QjdsTIhjY6tQSFlM4Lsuj2W1GsZqmnI6pwKDBWjetyPWnGrfPt-3yiKZmp4cZBFT7Zwcz3oUY-/s200/pay+it+forward.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582850227893761362" /></a><br />I signed up for a Pay it Forward on <a href="http://chrizstitchingspot.blogspot.com/">Chriz's blog</a>. <br /><br />(Info taken from her blog)<br />Here's how it works. <br /><br />The first five people who comment on this blog post will receive a handmade gift from me.<br /><br />In return, you must write a blog post explaining Pay It Forward 2011. <br />Then.... send out a handmade gift to the first 5 visitors who leave a comment (I think it will be kind to also include the person that you entered from – I am doing that).<br /><br />Take your time...you don't need to send them all today or tomorrow.

I maybe put in 50 x's of grey on white. It was the 'Naughty' Christmas ornament. And I only worked on it for that hour at the LNS. But I did stitch something for my St. Patrick's day giveaway. But you'll have to wait to see that. Also I think this week i'm just doing whatever. I'm not going to care that i'm suppose to work on my Christmas SAL today and tomorrow and i'm not going to care that i'm getting no where with my crazy 15. I think I just need a nice break from everything. Hopefully it will get me out of the funk and I can then get some more of my 15 done! This week I plan on finishing a baby present for Crystal and to maybe stitch a RAK. Which I forgot to share my last one with you all. Wendy got hers the other day. <a href="http://craftybasenji.blogspot.com/2011/03/hoot-of-rak.html">Click Here</a> to go visit her post and see what I sent/made. <br /><br />Well i'm off.

I haven't really wanted to do much of anything. Especially when it comes to the computer. So sorry I haven't been leaving too many comments on your blogs. I have been reading them here and there. But mainly this past couple weeks i've had my nose in a book. I've read the entire '<a href="http://lisamcmann.com/html/wake.html">Dream Catcher</a>' series. It was pretty good. <br /><br />I have been stitching a little here and there. I did get some decent progress done on 'Daisy Girl'.

I put a few stitches in yesterday and i'll try to get a few more in today but who knows.<br /><br />Also a couple weeks ago I ordered some fabric from <a href="http://sassysfabbys.com/">Sassy's Fabbys</a>. I love it! I am thinking about joining their fabric of the month club. It looks like you could do it for not too expensive. But then again maybe ill just wait til I get a bit of money and buy a bunch! What I ended up getting was 28ct Laguna in the color called Heartsong. I think it's so pretty. And so soft.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb1qoSeyfmM5FdmN3EWQ55vxGRoueVQ9tMYjRvFQoC3s4kz8k1Jr5FttbNE1i3lyT_Ef2AFpijRpeDMjRNfAQ6VpJzXcOi1reI9eo-NOIk-4rI7_556yK1FORYg0OCUeG-e8Cjt19KiVwf/s1600/100_0352.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb1qoSeyfmM5FdmN3EWQ55vxGRoueVQ9tMYjRvFQoC3s4kz8k1Jr5FttbNE1i3lyT_Ef2AFpijRpeDMjRNfAQ6VpJzXcOi1reI9eo-NOIk-4rI7_556yK1FORYg0OCUeG-e8Cjt19KiVwf/s200/100_0352.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579149928646826578" /></a><br /><br />Well i'm off to try to stitch a little bit.

First I wasn't feeling good, then a bunch of drama, then the power going out. So needless to say I really haven't done too much stitching. I had to skip last FNS and Hermit stitch day. *pouts* But i'll share with you what I have. But first I want to share some of the ice storm pictures I took.<br /><br /><div style="width:480px; text-align: center;"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w84.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http%3A%2F%2Fw84.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk20%2Fcuriouskttycat%2FIce Storm 2011%2Fe42f90c2.pbw" height="360" width="480"><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a><a href="http://s84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/curiouskttycat/Ice%20Storm%202011/?action=view&current=e42f90c2.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a></div><br /><br />Ok I know its Wednesday and i'm suppose to share my progress on 'On Christmas Day' but it was really hard to stitch by candlelight. So no progress this week. I'll have to make up for it next week. I did manage to get almost all of Summer done on 'Story of Seasons'. All it's missing is the little bit of dark blue on the corner.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_RGGsYR3HmMXbdwv9b1lmUs9dpNI49Zy9Cscqa-kZ92JVP3qkEM1UOLBaVshx1eY8iDhtJJ4o9Lbw1AXdmi-WWc8fJYbTIRiAWczOnnsDrM7gSMeEbV3u6gBMq9yaky48VmZ6aEdaozko/s1600/100_0353.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_RGGsYR3HmMXbdwv9b1lmUs9dpNI49Zy9Cscqa-kZ92JVP3qkEM1UOLBaVshx1eY8iDhtJJ4o9Lbw1AXdmi-WWc8fJYbTIRiAWczOnnsDrM7gSMeEbV3u6gBMq9yaky48VmZ6aEdaozko/s200/100_0353.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576936695911772802" /></a><br /><br />I also started a San Man SAL for birthday critters.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW8CCeGV5F3IMIqVLZTJXJu5pbHqMEZI39JbO3AvrmJdnadpzOxV_7INYWV6uQ7tdgCXVaz8zCHwAnUzqlO8SnKRNCDpR0po640F60n8cvPWIuzNdV78eSU0-n2A56-cP1jZn0FSurxjFM/s1600/100_0354.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW8CCeGV5F3IMIqVLZTJXJu5pbHqMEZI39JbO3AvrmJdnadpzOxV_7INYWV6uQ7tdgCXVaz8zCHwAnUzqlO8SnKRNCDpR0po640F60n8cvPWIuzNdV78eSU0-n2A56-cP1jZn0FSurxjFM/s200/100_0354.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576936702959216434" /></a><br /><br />This weeks project is 'Daisy Girl'.

It was a lot of fun. We had a lot of great food and had lots of fun talking. I was a little nervous to go. But I ended up knowing one lady that came. I use to work with her so that helped. I think i'll be going to future ones. I took along 'Autumn in New York' to work on. I got a decent amount stitched since we did a lot of talking and eating.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq8oKteLfzk2r6fx7uIDDCdjOWNQPEel-iwr9a02kbKeiiriis5saJXBQ56BIz7fOKPQJ-v1BWB7a5Y9zN3le1L5KNRxLN2salz-T-m-9-8A5KfwGADRjG0fo7TaNWMZ93nQvLhDSDRWpb/s1600/100_0318.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq8oKteLfzk2r6fx7uIDDCdjOWNQPEel-iwr9a02kbKeiiriis5saJXBQ56BIz7fOKPQJ-v1BWB7a5Y9zN3le1L5KNRxLN2salz-T-m-9-8A5KfwGADRjG0fo7TaNWMZ93nQvLhDSDRWpb/s200/100_0318.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571007769449863538" /></a><br /><br />Lorna (LNS owner) also held a couple drawings while we were there.

I knew there was a reason I kept putting off working on it again. It somehow didn't get measure right. I was suppose to have three inches on each side but it just fits on the bottom. So hopefully once I get it finished it won't be too much hassle to frame it, maybe i'll actually pay to have this one framed. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYrOAWFBuaq7_aj_VyP4l0_pVrTbDZGNKLaMJfrIVByaLoGOfy3AGC7RFrh6b0iiZoflIWcQ7xMzmW2eOJlA171O7-3liWXObdRSFrEi_e5PS_2Y9NrStjRXFBS0XyyaMIe4FHyFfYiz6G/s1600/100_0304.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 197px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYrOAWFBuaq7_aj_VyP4l0_pVrTbDZGNKLaMJfrIVByaLoGOfy3AGC7RFrh6b0iiZoflIWcQ7xMzmW2eOJlA171O7-3liWXObdRSFrEi_e5PS_2Y9NrStjRXFBS0XyyaMIe4FHyFfYiz6G/s200/100_0304.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569315048557790882" /></a><br /><br />Now onto what everyone wants to know about.
