Hope all of you are having a wonderful night and Happy Stitching!

Here is my Big Mama!  She is a sweetie but a talker.  I so love her.

The Unwanted Visitor Is Here!!!

I was trying so hard to get my 1st page done on my Black Wolf but the fro came for a visit and it is so persistent not wanting to leave! ૬😣 After I stitched in 275 stitches I find that I was off by one stitch.  The error is in the bottom left on the green and blue section.  So I am now ripping it out.  I wanted so bad to just put it away and go on to another WIP but if I did that I would probably never pick it up again.  Hopefully get back to my Sals this weekend. Here is my last update and my new update.

So I need to take out 115 stitches tonight.  While I do that I am going to treat myself with a new cup of mocha coffee with this new creamer.  Yummy!!!!!

Happy Stitching everyone!

Here is an Update on my Black Wolf

I stitched with Friday Off the Grid for 6 hours last night.  I do have some progress but it doesn't look like a lot.  I stitched 489 stitches.  Here is my update along with the last one so you can see the difference.

Lots of grays and blues.  Next color is 939 Very Dark Navy Blue.

Happy Stitching!

As for my day today, I had my sister here for coffee this morning, chatted with my daughter Kristina from Florida and then had a meeting with my lawyer.  Very busy day today.  Now I will sit and stitch 😁

Going Strong on my Cross Country Stitching!

Hi everyone
Today is so cold only reached 34 degrees but it is sunny and melting the snow and ice that we got yesterday. Here is a pic from my backyard

Here is an update of my black wolf which I was able to get 977 stitches in this past weekend.
The brown is the start of the back of the wolf.  I stitchedall of 160 Med Gray Blue, 3033 Very Light Mocha Brown, 644 Med. Beige Gray, 500 Very Dark Blue Green, and 3371 Black Brown.
Happy Stitching!

Started Over On Black Wolf This Past Weekend

Over this weekend I stitched on Kustom Krafts Black Wolf.  Was stitching it on a gray linen but decided to start again on an off white fabric since it is total coverage and you will not see the fabric anyway.  Plus the linen was pretty expensive.  So the first update is what I stitched on the linen and the other is the off white fabric.  Before I started over I had put in 314 stitches in the linen.  The second o
update is where I started over and put in 692 stitches.

Happy Stitching!!

WoW! Lots of Rain today! So lots of stitching today

The weather today is in the 50s but by Sunday it will be back in the 20s.  Thats the way it is here in Rhode Island.  So I have been stitching on amongst the Tulips today.  Managed to get quite a few stitches in today.  Here is where I left off on my last blog.

Today I put in 754 stitches.

So I have stitched 2723 stitches so far.
Have a wonderful day and Happy stitching!😊

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year!  For this New Year of 2018 I decided to join a few Sals to help me get some of my WIPs and UFOs done.  At the moment I am stitching on Amongst the Tulips by Haed.  I have put in quite a few stitches.  Will insert pics here.

I have put in 1706 stitches in as of August 30, 2015 here is the update from then.  This is the upper left hand corner of the top of the page.

I will do an update later of my stitching on this one.  It is a Haed, Amongst the Tulips by Garmashova.

Enjoy your day and Happy Stitching!

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....

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.

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 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!

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 :)
