Here I Am!

I know, know, it's been over a month since I posted.  Sorry, life just has a way of getting in the way of some things.  I have been really busy at work and just too tired to get on the computer much when I get home.  Things have started to calm down now so I should be able to get back to regular blogging! I have so many blogs to catch up on too!

I do have a finish to share.

And I'm this close to another finish which I should have done in the next couple of days.

I did start my new HAED, Believe, but I didn't get very far with it since I started it over three times!  I'm stitching this one on 18 count Aida instead of 16 and I'm not use to 18 count at all.  I was using 2 strands of DMC and it just felt bulky.  So after about 400 stitches I ripped it out and started stitching with just one strand.  After about 300 stitches I realized that I didn't like the coverage so I ripped it out again and started over again with two strands.  I really irritate myself sometimes.

That's about it for now, I should be back in a couple of days with another finish.  In the meantime, Happy Stitching!

Here She Is!!

Fern!  I finished her up last night.

FERN

Here is a closer look at the beading.

Since I've had two finishes in the last couple of weeks, I decided to allow myself to start one of my new HAED's today.

I'm in a Christmas kind of mood.

Tomorrow I'll be walking in another parade in support of my candidate for Sheriff.  It's only suppose to be a high of 59 degrees!  What was I thinking when I agreed to walk?  That's just too cold for a parade; I can't imagine who will even come out to watch it!

Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Stitching!!

Back to Reality

My vacation is over and now it's time to return to reality and work. Blah.  I hate that first day back from vacation, my desk will be overflowing with paperwork and it will feel like I've never been gone.

I did have a great week though full of stitching! I can't think of a better way to spend a vacation than to spend it stitching!

I spent today stitching on Fern.  Here is how she looked when I last posted an update

And here's how she looks today

I'm going to keep working on her until she's done since I'm so close to finishing her.  She has beads that need to be attached but not nearly as many as my Mermaids had!

That's about it for today.  Linda, I will be dropping your prize at the post office tomorrow on my way home from work.

Have a great week everyone and Happy Stitching!

And The Winner Is...........

So this morning I drew the name for my first giveaway and the winner is Linda!

Linda couldn't decide between charts 2 and 3 so I guess I'm gonna have to surprise her.  Please send me your snail mail address so I can get your prize in the mail!

Thanks to everyone who entered.  I'm sure I will be having another giveaway in the near future. 

Congrats Linda!

I've Been Very Productive!

So far my vacation has been very relaxing and very productive.  I have managed to finish, finish all of these....
