Curl Up With a Good Book

This is the 2nd SAL that I have been working on..this is about 9 days of progress.  I am enjoying this one so far.  It's hard to see but there is some off white stitched that I am hoping will pop once I get more colors around it.  I am putting this away for a week or so to go back to Heather.

HAED SAL

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while..with the passing of my mom and grandma and all the holidays it was a hard end of 2012..but here we are in 2013 and I have a new start with another HAED..well really 2 starts for 2 different SAL's.  The first one is the HAED BB SAL..Im stitching Heather for it and here is the first pic after a few days of work.

I hope to be back in a week or so with the 2nd HAED SAL that I am doing..not enough done yet to post a pic.

End of week 2

This is my progress at the end of week 2 for my first ever HAED and am still loving every stitch. 

HAED progress week 1

 First week progress on my new start and first time ever using Q snap's and am loving them.  I think with this project I am going to blog weekly..it may help keep me motivated for a finish :D

A finish, A new start and Life

 

 

I know it has been a while but life has changed pretty drastically for me in the last few months. In very early april my mom got diagnosed with Liver and Pancreatic Cancer. She went through 2 rounds of Chemo but on August 5th she lost her battle, almost exactly 2 weeks later my grandmother passed on as well. It's been a very long and hard road lately but I did manage to finish my Ink Circles - Cirque Des Cercles after a few years of off and on stitching. This last Friday I started my first ever HAED..it is the freebie..Fly, Butterfly and so far I am absolutely loving it. The last picture is of my kitty Misty giving me the evil eye after being caught on the bookshelf..I hope to start posting a bit more regularly here as things start to settle down.

Kitty and Stitching

 

 

 In the first pic Misty and my fiancee Frank are boxing..I have such a silly kitty sometimes with some of her antics.  I think she was mad at him cuz he went to pet her lol.  The second pic is just an update of what I have done in the past week or so on Elemental Cosmos and the last pic is Misty being curious at what I am doing.  She is perched ont he back of my computer chair which seems to be one of her favorite places to be.  I have to be really careful sometimes though when I get up or she will fall off the back lol.
