IHSW Progress

Short post today to show my progress on International Hermit & Stitch Weekend.

I was concentrating on finishing page 1 of Train of Dreams by Randal Spangler & I did.

Ta Da.

Have to get ready for work now.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone

IHSW Progress

I made good progress on Chocolate Chocolate & More Chocolate. Finished the piece of the book next to the cat's head & started filling in on the cat's face. Hope to get at least one eye done on this round of rotation.

Just a short one

Just a short update today. Wanted to show progress on The Astronomer by Myles Pinkney. He has been put away now and until Oct 25 I will be working on Chocolate Chocolate & More Chocolate by Randal Spangler. Then on Oct 25 silly me will be starting another SAL with one of my FB groups. We are doing a LOTR SAL. I will be starting Gandalf by Tom Cross. (HAED of course.) Oct 25 was chosen for the start as that is the day that Frodo started his adventure.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

I'm Bacccccccck

Wow it has been awhile since my last post. Sorry about that. I have been contacted by a couple of people to tell me I haven't posted since July. I think about posting every Sunday and then I pick up my stitching and posting just goes out the window. Nothing really exciting going on here. Just the same ole go to work,come home, go back to work. I have been managing a fair amount of stitching though. I have started stitching on my lunch hour at work. I have 3 small (for me anyway) projects that I rotate at work. Also I have a new work shift 10am to 7pm which I love so I have stitchy time in the morning. This is a good thing because a lot of the time I am too tired to stitch at night. I have mostly recovered from the pneumonia but now DH has it. Why are men such babies when they are sick. Geez rub some dirt on it and carry on. He is on the road to recovery now though.
Speaking of DH we just celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary. I can't believe I haven't smothered him yet. Nothing major just lunch out as I took the day off work.
He has also not done much on his Legos or stitching this summer he is starting to get back to them. No stitching yet but he has built a couple of Lego things.
All the pets are doing well. I was trying to get a picture of Elvira for this post but she would not cooperate. I will post a picture I took last week.
Okay enough boring you. Time for pictures. Lots of pictures. In no particular order since I don't feel like fighting with blogger today.

Blog Hop Time Again

"Some of us have a favorite chair that we sit in to stitch, others prefer to enjoy a steaming mug of tea while they stitch. Maybe you need to get comfortable and put on your pajamas before you pick up your needle or you simply must rearrange all the sofa pillows before you sit down. Sometimes the ritual is in the clean up when we’re done and everything must go in a certain place. What sort of stitching rituals do you have when you sit down to work on your projects?"

I don't really have a ritual. I do like to have everything in it's proper place when I stitch. It just makes it easier to reach out & pick up my scissors without looking up. I have my stitching area set up so that I really don't have to do much when I sit down to stitch. It is just my husband and I now that the kids are gone so no one messes with my stuff & I can leave it set up when I'm not working on it.

HELLO

Oopsy I haven't updated for a while. Bad me. In my own defense I have been stitching a lot & I have gone back to work.
Since I have discovered my handy dandy mag eyes I am even able to stitch on my lunch hour at work. Yeah.
Since my HAED's are too large to work on at work I have started a new project Bhyr Deese by Long Dog Samplers. Love it.

 

On the home front I have been stitching on Train of Dreams by Randal Spangler. Hoping to make significant progress before I put it away in favor of the next one. Computer Catastrophes has been yelling rather loudly lately so it will probably come out to play pretty soon. Here are the latest pictures of TOD.

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful stitchy week.

Keep cool
