stitching this week...and other things

This has been the week from Planet Crapola. Seriously. Work was chaotic and let's not mention that I worked from home yesterday and today because I have an ear and sinus infection with a migraine on top of it. Thankfully the headache is gone today but I honestly think I'm having an allergic reaction to either the antibiotics (which I have taken before) or one of the two shots I got. My arms hurt and feel like they are on fire. My cheeks too. I am also almost two weeks behind on my next class for my MBA. And I'm being a big whiney butt. Sorry.

So, with that paragraph explaining all my woes, you can imagine I got very little stitching done this week. The pictures look like I have stitched up a storm, but it's been a while since I shared lol So, let's see what I've done.

This is where I am on the pig wedding gift. It's what I am working on today as a matter of fact. Since taking that picture several hours ago I got the hill started, the pink on the ears and snouts done and finished the blue flower on the left.

This was the stopping point on my Halloween stitch called Calvin and Trixie by Stitching with the Housewives. Almost finished with the left garland.

I'm focusing on this window on the Kringles pattern by Little House Needleworks. I actually have more done that the picture shows. I finished that bottom present and did the one on the shelf.

Here's where I am on Pumpkin Cottage by Country Cottage Needleworks. I think this is my favorite I'm working on this week.

I did some fabric and thread dying this week and LOVE how it turned out! The picture doesn't do it justice. It's a beautiful purpley lavender. I'm going to do Halloween stitching on the fabric...a couple of designs by Stitching with the Housewives.

Well, that's all for now. I'm tired and cranky and I need to go cook some supper.

Until next time...

Naked in Death by JD Robb

"I don't think I'm in love with you anymore, I know I am." Oh. my. gah. I am sooo in love with Roarke! Holy balls! Why did I wait so long to read this? (actually I listened) It's like an amazing episode of CSI or Law & Order or some show like that....not that I watch tv all that often, but yeah, Lt Eve Dallas would put those shows to shame! The crime solving portion of the book, which honestly was the majority of the book, was great. There was enough creep factor to the crime and the reasoning when you found out who it was that did it and why, but it wasn't so bad that you wanted to put it down. It just made me mad that I couldn't have killed the pervy old man myself. This is definitely a series I will continue. It may also just convert me to an audio book listener....as you may or may not know, my previous attempts at listening have not gone so well. But this kept my attention pretty well and I loved the voice characterization of Roa...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

August of Accomplishments

The Oxford definition for ACCOMPLISHMENT is "something that has been achieved successfully". I am claiming August as the Month of Accomplishments for my massive cross stitch WIP collection. My plan is to finish some of the WIPs that are close to being finished or that I have had in the WIP pile for a long time. Here's a look at my stitching spot...Notice the basket on the floor, it is full of WIPs. Notice the pile on the sofa, it's all WIPs. I have got to get some of these gone, especially since I LOVE starting new projects. So, am thinking I will work on Calvin and Trixie. I am sooooo close on this one. I even bought finishing fabric for it. I think I will try to complete the January SAL from Little House and Country Cottage Stitching Group on Facebook. The theme was winter. I bought finishing fabric for this too. I also want to finish up Seasons in Chalk: Stars and S...

Until Next Time...
