Hope You Are All Having A Wonderful Labor Day!

It is a beautiful day here in Rhode Island but a little too warm!  Sun is shining and I am in my cool house and stitching.  We celebrated Labor Day yesterday with my daughter Kristina with my grandson Connor and my daughter Ashli with her boyfriend John.  Boy it is very humid today!  I am stitching on America since it is Labor Day thought I would pull that WIP out.  Will be stitching on this for the week. But will work on The Witching Hour and Amongst The Tulips also.  Here is my latest updates....

I Am Back!!!

I have so been neglecting this blog!  Lots of distractions from my grand kids, summer, work, etc...
I will try to do better!  I have not done too much stitching since my last posts. But will update what I have stitched.  Ashli has been with Bryant University now for two years.  She has been on the dean list for the past two semesters.Now my daughter Ashli is having eye surgery tomorrow on both her eyes.  Hoping all goes well.I am having a crazy year! Since my last time here I have started a new pattern.  I am stitching Amongst The Tulips so here is my progress so far.....

Happy Stitching!

Grab A Coffee I Have A Lot To Say and Show, LOL!

Really!! I have not blogged since the end of August?  Oh My, It has been a while since I have posted here.  Work has really gotten busy because of the holidays coming up. I bought a new Kindle Fire and have been trying to learn how to use that.The pictures it takes look awesome!  Here is the one I got and I do love it!

Hmmm lets see!! My grandson Conner just turned two this past month. He is growing so fast!  

Ashley finished one year of Bryant University with awesome grades!  Rolling right into another year.  She is also writing for the Bryant newspaper.  Here is one of her articles

She is just loving the University! 

OK for the stitchy side I have worked more on The Witching Hour.

I have now stitched about 2000 stitches in this.

I am now working on Snowfriend ornament by Dimensions Gold collection, hoping to be done for Christmas.  I am about half done now :)

Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

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!!!

My Boots 

Happy Stitching!

  

Happy Tuesday!!

Well, today was a hell day at work!  Deliveries were late so that made me late getting the mail to the road.  So did not get home till 5 tonight.  I do have an update on my masquerade from HAED.  There is a big sale over there for Bob's Birthday since he turned 53 so everything is 53% off!  I am going to check that out a little later.  Here is how much more I have stitched on Masquerade.

My Update since June 8th 2013

Have a wonderful happy Fourth!!!

Happy Spring With Some Book Reads and Stitchy Udates!!

Well, spring has sprung around here and my flowers are blooming!  A week ago it was in the 90's thought summer came early!  Now it is in the 70's with rain to help all my plants since the dry heat last week.

I finished two books today, Ascension Day by John Matthews and Cannibal by Lois Jones.
Cannibal is a true story and not for the faint of heart, very graphic.  Ascension Day is a court suspense.
I rated them both 4 stars! Gripping and exciting!

OK now for the stitchy stuff...

I decided to restitch my two HAEDs.  I was stitching them over one with two threads and I found them too bulky and hard to stitch.  So I am restitching them over one with one thread and loving my stitching again. So that was why I stopped stitching on them.  I am showing the stitching on Masquerade with a photo of the difference of the stitching.  Lavender Moon will have to wait until I get more fabric.
Happy Stitching!

Over one using two

over one using one so much  better!

Happy Stitching!

I Did It!!

I pulled out HAED Lavender Moon and put in another 100 stitches tonight!  Slow moving but moving, lol.  Here is a before and after.  Doesn't look too much different but you know how HAED's are!  Takes awhile to see detail when starting : ) I have put in a total of 740 stitches so far but it still looks like a purple blob,lol.

Before

After
I will be working on Stoney Creeks Butterfly Afghan tonight.
Always in Stitches

Who's Been Stitching??

I have stitched some on my Haed Lavender Moon and have stitched  287 stitches but still does not look like much but then again it is a Haed, lol

Happy Stitching everyone!

Stitching and Frogging Today!

When I sat down to stitch today I decided if I wanted the frog to leave I better rip out the 158 stitches I need to take out before I could do any stitching!  Well, the frog has moved on to a warmer climate since it is pretty cold here today!  The high today was 19 degrees!!  So on Fred I will stitch later tonight.  At the moment I picked up my HAED Lavender Moon.  Still doesn't look like much even though I have put in 173 stitches.  This is my first HAED so a big change from what I am used to.  Also working on 25 ct linen and I have never used it before.  So it is slow going at the moment!  Here is a pic of Lavender Moon and my progress so far.

I started in the left hand corner and as I said there is not much to show at the moment.  I have to say at the moment I am glad I have some other easier WIPs to work on, lol.  HAEDs are new to me but I like a challange, (Grin)  This is a gift to my daughter so I will finish it! Happy Stitching everyone!
