The Rest of the C's

Still not a lot of stitching going on at my house.  I've been nursing the worst cold I think I've ever had!  I have been miserable for the last four days, but I think I'm finally coming out of my fog this morning and may be able to get in some good stitching time.  Here are my last two C charts

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
By:  Nora Corbett

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
By:  Gail Bussi

Both of these charts are fun to stitch and I really love Circle of Friends and can't wait to get them finished.

I only have one D chart to work on; I had another D chart but I am not enjoying it at all so I think it's going to end up in the UFO pile.  I love the design but  stitching it has been no fun at all for some reason and If I'm not enjoying the stitch, then it has to go!  Have you ever found a chart that you just love but when you started to stitch it, you didn't love it as much as you thought you did?  Stitching is suppose to be fun not a chore.


Time to get some Saturday morning chores done so I can hit the stitching chair this afternoon!  Have a great Saturday everyone and Happy Stitching!!

A Couple C's

I'm moving right along with my alphabetical stitching by stitching on these for the last few days.

CATCHING THE BREEZE
By:  HAED

 This HAED has been much easier to stitch on since is has blocks of the same color.  It still looks like a blob of nothing, but it has still been fun to stitch on.

CHRISTMAS ANGEL
By:  Lesley Teare

I really can't understand what my camera is doing.  I took these pictures at the same time, in the same place, with the same light conditions but this one looks all washed out.  I don't know if it's me or the camera.  Odds are it's me, but I'd like to think it's the camera!

I still have a couple more C's to stitch on before moving onto the D's.

Have a great Saturday everyone and Happy Stitching!!

Busy With The B's

I managed to work my way through the B's this week, although it took longer than it should have.  I didn't really stitch a whole lot this week on any of these but I did put some stitches in them so that counts! 

Work has just been so busy that I'm almost too exhausted to stitch in the evenings.  Things aren't going to get much better for awhile either.  There is a new Sheriff taking office in January and there is just so much I have to do to prepare, plus add to that all of my normal end of year duties.  Oh well, such is life, I'm just thankful that the new Sheriff is keeping me in my current position as his Administrative Assistant.  Now on to some stitching! 

BELIEVE
By:  HAED

 I don't know why this picture turned sideways again, but it doesn't really matter because there's not much progress to see anyways.  This one is a tough stitch so far with so many thread changes.  It may take my lifetime to finish it.

BLIGHT, BROOMHILDA & BOOZ
By:  Carolyn Manning Designs

This one has been fun to stitch so far.  I'm hoping to have it done by next Halloween! lol

BLOWN IN THE WIND
By:  Vicki Leavitt

This picture looks all washed out due to my fantastic photography skills.  I would have had a lot more done on this one, but I had a mistake and I had to frog the entire thing and start over again.  So frustrating when that happens. 

To recap the B's


1.  Bee Blessed by Gail Bussi

Now onto the C's!

Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Stitching!

We Interrupt The B's to Bring You.....

Some Christmas finishing!  I spent the better part of yesterday morning finishing these.  The first one is from the SAL that Chelle and I did together a while back.  And yes, Chelle, we do need to get started on our next one soon!

DEAR SANTA, I CAN EXPLAIN
By:  Lizzie Kate

Not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning!

I also want to mention that Lulu from Crafting Across the Continents has given me the Liebster Award.  I have received this award before so I'm not sure if I can pass it on again, but I wanted to thank Lulu and tell all of you to go check out her great blog!

Now I'm off to do a few chores and then hit the stitching chair so I can get back to my B charts!

Have a great Sunday everyone and Happy Stitching!!
