My Update as of August 20 2013

You can see I got the ear done and now working on the quilts.

Here is my new WIP that I started August 25th and have managed 809 stitches!  I love this one!  It is Witching Hour from HEAD.  It is the first row of page one which is the top left corner.  Mostly browns and blacks.

Witching Hour

Progress as of August 27th 2013

I have been stitching a lot the past few days.  

I do have some other non-stitchy things going on also.  My daughter Ashli is back at Bryant University Sept 2nd for her second year of  her four years to get her Bachelors Degree and then on to Med School and then 2 yrs for her Masters then 5 yrs for her  Psychology PHD Degree.  Hmmm, lets see thats 10 more years, Oh My Gosh!!!

My husband went to his Mom's to check on here pool and found a tiny snapper turtle in it.  He brought it to our house and my daughter and her boyfriend decided to adopt it until it was old enough to be released.  This snapper is so tiny!  My daughter knows alot about turtles since she owns two.  So they have a new addition for the time being and his name is Koopa.  Here is a pic of Koopa.

Well, I do need to show you a pic of a new visitor to my bird feeder!  Really do not want to see this visitor again.

Pedigree Falcon

Swooped right in to my birdfeeder to take a bird!  Luckily, all my birds had another day to eat at my feeders :)

Of course, I need to show a pic of my sweeties!!!

Happy Stitching!

  

Have a Wonderful 4th!!

I managed to finish Intervention by Robin Cook yesterday.   Started another on my USB with Invasion by Robin Cook.  I read this while I deliver mail.  My stitching has been rather slow this past 2 weeks.  I do have progress on Gardens Like Quilts and a little on HAED Storykeep Masquerade.  Here is what I have stitched since my last update.

Hope everyone is having a great day!  I started three new books today.  Intervention by Robin Cook, a medical thiller, Behind Closed Doors by Jenny Tomlin which is a true story of abuse in a family, and All For One by Ryne Douglas Pearson which is a thriller.
For my stitching update, I have worked on Gardens Like Quilts.  Here is where I left last time I stitched and then there is a pic of how much more I have done.  Notice that the bluejay is almost done.  I will be stitching on the robin this week along with my Storykeep Masquerade.  Happy stitching everyone and have a wonderful day!

Last times progress

My latest progress

Happy Easter!!!

I want to wish all of you a very Happy Easter!  We will be having dinner here and I am serving Lasagna.  I know I am breaking the tradition, lol but we do not like ham and will not eat lamb.  We love Lasagna and I do not get time to make it that often.

As far as stitching I have stitched on Gardens Like Quilts and have finished page one and half done with page two.

I am enjoying this pattern and will continue with it and throw in Frederick this month.
Have a great Easter and Stitchy Hugs to all!

WOW Has It Really Been A Month???

Yeah it has been awhile!  Between working 6 days a week and trying to get my craft room done have not had much time to stitch.  What I have stitched on is Gardens Like Quilts, not a lot but will show my progress.  This pass month there has been snow and more snow.  Spring being here?  Not!  Has been in the 30's the pass few days of spring. The good thing is the snow is gone!  Hoping that's the end of it this year. Must say today we reached 45 degrees! I do have an update of my daughter's WIP  of Blue Eyes from KK.  She I think has more progress than me this month,lol. Here is my stitching update..........

Kristina's Update as of March 17 2013

Happy Stitching everyone!

BBrrr It is Cold Outside!!! Been Stitching and have Past My 100 Stitch Challenge! : )

Oh I was so cold at work today! I am now in my toasty robe and stitching.  I have past my goal of the 100 stitch per day challenge!  I pulled out a WIP from Stoney Creek called Gardens Like Quilts and remembered why it was put down.  That heart gave me so much trouble!  I had to frog it 3 times!  Well I ripped and it is now complete and correct, lol.  I have put in 2605 stitches so far as of today.  In January so far I have 2246 stitches this past week!  So I passed my goal so far this month :) But with stitching also on Howling at the Moon with 100 stitches in January, I have stitched 2346 stitches this month and it has just started!  I am so happy :)  I have not done that many stitches in even 6 months, lol.  So, to meet my challenge I only need 754 stitches for my goal this month.  I am so sure I will have more than that though. Hmmm,  with this challenge is there a roll over for stitches?  Maybe add to next months, I think not :)
