Wednesday SAL & 100th winner

Alright since it's Wednesday you know what that means. Time to update my 'On Christmas Day' SAL. I actually managed to work on this some this week. I think Crystal and I came up with a good rotation to use with our Crazy 15. Monday and Tuesday i'll work on the SAL then the rest of the week i'll work on one of my 15 (in order). Now just to stop adding new patterns into the rotation! So anyways here is my update of the Christmas SAL...

Alright i'm off to stitch on.... looks like Story of Seasons this week. Happy Stitching to you all!

Wednesday SAL & Another Giveaway

I did very very little on my Christmas SAL I just could not for the life of me get into stitching it yesterday. I managed to get another fourth of the bottom left snowflake done.



But Autumn in NY was calling my name. I got a tree trunk done!



I was informed yesterday I hit 100 followers! I'm sorry I didn't even notice I had gotten new followers! Welcome to all you newbies! I love meeting new stitchy friends so make sure you drop by once in awhile and say hi. I'm thinking i'll stitch a biscornu to give away for reaching over 100 followers. Also i'll add in one of my handmade scissor fobs. So leave a comment and be a follower and i'll pick a winner next Wednesday (the 16th). Good Luck to you all!

Wed SAL & Valentine Giveaway

Alright first off here is my update on my Christmas SAL with Crystal & Wendy. 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.



Now onto what everyone wants to know about. My Valentine's Giveaway. I again have two prizes, but this time i'm going to let the person whos name I draw first pick which one they want to receive. Now for the details.

Happy Stitching

Mermaids & Wednesday SAL

So as promised here is my progress on Mermaids. Yep all thats left is a little backstitch on the shells at the bottom and to do the french knots for eyes and necklaces. I could of finished this last night but I decided to set it aside and work on some Valentine ornaments so I can get some hung up on my tree.

Oh yea it's Wednesday. I'm suppose to show my progress of 'On Christmas Day'. Well I haven't touched it this past week. So no progress to share. Hopefully I can remember to work on it this week so I can share some progress.

Happy Stitching!

Mermaids & Wednesday SAL

I managed to get a little bit of Mermaids stitched before I had to get ready for work.



Then when I got home I was talking to Crystal and she reminded me it's Wednesday so time for 'On Christmas Day' update. Crap I totally forgot and haven't stitched on it. She said that, that gives her and Wendy time to catch up. LOL. So I sneaked in a hours worth of stitching on it last night.



I think maybe today I will pick up a different one of the 15 and get some progress done on that. Maybe 'Wise Old Owl'. Happy Stitching!

Day 11 of 15 & Wed. SAL

Getting to the home stretch. Only a few more starts and then we can actually try to get some more finishes in! I actually had another Happy Dance yesterday. I picked my last 'small' project after the troubles with the weight lifting kitty. I picked up 'Snuggle with me' from Britter cup. It was just too cute I had to stitch it!



And then since today is Wednesday I get to show my progress of 'On Christmas Day'. I hadn't really been able to work on it except for a couple stitches here and a couple stitches there. But yesterday after finishing snuggle I picked it up and got a whole page done. Yay half way done!



Off to pick my project for today. Happy stitching to you all!

Day 4 of 15 & Wed. SAL

So day 4 I picked up Autumn in NY. I didn't really get too much done on it yesterday. I ended up finally getting my butt around and took down the Christmas stuff. But here is what I did manage...



Also today is Wednesday so that means 'On Christmas Day' SAL. I got a good chunk done before the new year but I haven't touched it at all since starting the crazy 15 but I guess I prolly should this week so I will have some progress to show next week.



Well i'm off to to post office and into town to pick up a few things. Happy stitching to everyone!

Wednesday SAL

Holy cow... is it really Wednesday? Am I actually posting this on the correct day?!? Lol it feels wrong. After being threatened last week that if I didn't put at least one stitch in I was going to be beaten with a wet noodles I decided maybe I should work a little bit on my SAL. I hope this satisfies Crystal. LOL.



I have managed to get a nice chunk of it done, and I would of gotten more of it worked on yesterday but I stopped at my LNS and picked up some fabric for the Crazy 15 and then ran into work and bought some floss. So I spent last night trying to get organized so I can start on the 1st.



I also forgot with all the Christmas chaos to show you my first ever over 2. I'm very proud of myself. I'm not sure if its stitched on linen or evenweave. I got a couple grab bags from 123stitch and this was a piece out of that. It's a freebie design from the Sanman board. Maybe next year i'll have to sneak in another project to try stitching something a bit bigger on some linen & evenweave.



Alright well i'm off to stitch some on the SAL and watch some movies today. I hope can I just relax with stitching & movies all day, but we might take our tree down today.

I know it's Thursday

I know i'm a day late in posting this. I did it last night and was going to post at like 11:30 last night so it was still posted on Wednesday but John was on the computer and I just crawled into bed. So last night I finished the ornament I needed to have done by Saturday so I took a little time and stitched this much on 'On Christmas Day'.



I plan on stitching a bit more on it today before I have to go to work. Now here is a picture of the finished ornament.



This ornament is for my mom's best friend. She just loves Mickey and since i'm seeing her Saturday I figured i'd try to stitch up a Mickey ornament for her. I think he turned out pretty cute. Here is a picture before I put it together so you can see the backside too.



Alright i'm off to try and stitch for awhile. So don't want to close at work tonight. But hey its a job and i'm thankful for that!

December 1st

Wow can you believe it.... its December. Only 25 days til Christmas!!! And what better way to wake up to on December 1st but....



Snow!!!! We finally got our first sticking of snow. It's not much now but it's still lightly snowing and suppose to all day. I just love snow.... well until about the middle of January then i'll start complaining about it. :)

Well Crystal, Wendy and I, have decided that we will start our 'On Christmas Day' SAL today. Seemed fitting. So each Wednesday we will be posting our progress.



So I went to the LNS and picked out some fabric before work yesterday. I'm not too sure that i'm in love with the color I ended up with. So i'm planning on going back today and taking the picture with me and the floss I ended up picking out. Each of us girls is doing it in a different color scheme so it should be really cool to see each of ours. Crystal is doing red, green & white. Wendy is doing hers in pink, gold & white. And mine will be in two shades of blue and white.



Last night instead of working on my politics/religion piece I made some scissor fobs for some lucky winners over on the SanMan board. I still have one more to make so after that one is finished I will share them with you. I think these ones have been some of the best I've made. Even John said these ones look extra fancy.

Well here is my progress so far on politics/religion.



I will have to get my butt in gear on this! My mom wants to mail it out in time for Christmas. Guess thats what i'll be working on for the next few days. Happy stitching everyone!
