New Year and HUGE New Start

Wow..I had no idea it had been so long since I last posted.  I read blogs daily but never think to post to my own but would love to change that and get more involved with the blogging world.  So with the New Year I started a few new projects but only have pictures of one so far..so  without further ado I present..Andromeda   

This is what she will look like when all finished..she is my first start on 18ct..The piece of fabric she is being done on is 3 ft by 6 ft..of course she wont be quite that big when finished..but not to far off from it..I am really enjoying her so far even if very slow going.

This is 3 weeks of progress on her..but have actually been on her for about 6 weeks..Will be taking another pic of her soon to show how much I have done..would like to post monthly updates on her as she grows.

I just had to post a pic of my very spoiled almost 7 year old Misty who looked too cute to ignore wrapped up in my sheets..

Hope to be back soon :)

FINISH!!!

I am so excited right now!!  I have a finish finally lol..I finished my Love Thy Thread Stained Glass SAL that I started around June of last year..feels great to accomplish something so here it is =)

At some point soon I am going to fill it in with colors that match my living room..

I am excited to see how they look as I fill in..but for now it is time to start a Halloween SAL

Until next time..

August Update

Not a whole lot to share just a few pics really..First off my DH finished another page of his John Wayne

Then last year my kitty was given a bed from a friend that had to put his dog to sleep..she ignored it of course till the same friend got a new dog and we watched him for a day and he got in the bed so now of course the cat wants to use it too lol

Then she decided mom's lap is better than the bed so this is how we end up most nights then of course right after the pic was taken she bit me and ran,,she can be such a lap and bed kitty at times but when she has had enough she bites and runs more often than not she bites my feet which are bad to begin with from the diabetes.

Since my last blog post I started and finished the first part of The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery..A Very Merry Christmas Town

I will try and post a little more often but sometimes my health just isnt good enough for me to do anything but lay on the couch..I also got an exercise bike to try and get in better shape and that is when I really realized just how bad of shape I am in physically but I think if I slowly work at it I will get healthier in time..

Until next time...

Back again..

I had to put away my Pink Lightning for now I was just getting tired of all the dark colors but I am sure she will be coming out again soon.

 My health in the last few months has gotten some news not necessarily bad or good really..I've known I had diabetes for years now and the nerve pain that can go with it if not taken care of properly, what I didn't know but did suspect was that I have Fibromyalgia so been trying to learn how to deal with the pain that comes along with that.

I also started a new project that I will try and update on here monthly..the project I started is Save the Stitches..my very first and definitely not my last so will leave you with a pic of it and hope to be back soon..

March Update

This is the middle row of my dh..John Wayne all finished..he has now started working on the bottom half.

I was just looking at my Mini Pink Lightning progress between now and wow what a difference..this is my last update..

and this is where I am now..

all I have left on this page is the Lightning to fill in which I am starting tonight..

February Updates

I'm so excited to be done with another page on my Love Thy Thread piece..I have found so many little hidden pictures in it as I go along..and have decided to fill this in with bright colors and beads when all done with the black.

My other half is done with another page on his John Wayne..he is now working on the other side of his face then will start the bottom row..

I'm going to leave off with a picture of my almost 6 yr old furbaby Misty showing off my new bedspread and the rose she stole from me.

February Wipocalypse

So February's question is..


How do you overcome that feeling that you’re in a rut with a particular project?

When I have this issue I usually take a break from that project and work on something else..maybe why I have so many WIP's.

Since this is such a short post I will leave you with a pic of my current WIP that I started on Jan 1st of this year.  HAED Mini Pink Lightning
