No Stitching Blog Tonight!

Yeah, I have been slacking the past three nights.  After the ripping on Fred and now a mistake on Lavender!  At least I caught it early, only eight stitches need to be ripped.  I just cant get rid of this frog!  After work tomorrow I am kicking this frog to the curb, LOL
How is everyone else doing with there stitching any frog visits : )

Since no update on stitching will post some pics of my other hobby.  My cat rescue! Yeah!  I am a avid cat rescuer and have rescued and neutured over 8 cats this year.  Please, if you are letting your kitty outside make sure he/she is neutured.  I have a munchkin in my cat family.  Small, adorable with short legs, this is not a stray!  This is a pedigree kitty and was left to roam.  Well, she is safe with me and in two weeks will be spayed.

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!

What A BEautiful Day Today!

It was such a warm day compared to the nasty weather we have had!  The temp was just about 60 degrees and most of the 2 feet of snow has melted : )  Opened my windows for some fresh air and thinking that spring will be here very soon!  We do have a cold spell for tomorrow but just enjoying the warmth of today.
On the stitching, I have been working on my second SAL called Late Spring with Kustum Krafts.  I have put in 535 stitches as of today!

Happy Stitching everyone : )

 

Been Slacking On Stitching!!

I have been hibernating till today!!!  We had some awesome weather !  In the 50s today!  Lots of snow melting!  Frederick is on the back burner since I was visited by the Frog this past week.  Need to RIP at least 50 stitches!  I have worked on Kustum Krafts Autumn Grandeur putting in 886 stitches and also Kustom Krafts Late Spring where I have stitched 170 stitches so far.  So I really have been stitching : )  On a high note my Ashley my 17 year old just got her report card and did a great job with straight As!  She leaves for Canada on a school trip in March.  Since she is an honor student she is  able to go on all these trips.  Next year she goes to France! OK, here is my progress with Autumn Grandeur.  The other photo is the photo I am stitching : )

Another Snowy Delivery Day!!!

Very hard day delivering today!  No shoveling at the mailboxes!  I am patient though I will take it out again tomorrow to give my customers some more time to shovel around their mailboxes.  There was too much snow!!!  If I was using my truck which is with 4 wheel drive I would deliver the mail to everyone but with this Postal Truck it does not got through snow.  You would think the goverment would make sure we would have 4 wheel drive but a no just bring the mail back.  That is why I am upset!  Then I have double the mail the next day. Load unload and load again, crazy! So after my ramblings, I now have two days of mail to deliver tomorrow.  I leave you with more snow pics from my snowbound house.

I am so sick of this snow!  I think I said that already, lol!

Update soon on Frederick and my two HAEDS I have started!

Keep warm and Happy Stitching

Nasty Day At Work Today!!!

Well, delivering mail today was really bad!  Mail boxes not shoveled, slippery roads, icy banks, and unplowed roads did keep some of the mail from getting through today!  This was a real nasty day for delivering mail today.  A lot of customers did not get there mail today.  Luckily, there was no packages from cross-stitch companies, so all my cross-stitch customers didn't miss their new stash, lol!  Well, tomorrow is another day, and I will try again : )  Calling for a major storm on Tuesday!  Thinking of taking a vacation day for the next one ; )  It is supposed to be major!  I have been stitching on Fred and My HAED Lavender Moon, will post an update soon.  I leave you with a pic of my adorable RIP Kemo that was one that always enjoyed this snow mess!

Working On Fred Tonight!

I have been working on Fred tonight!  Here is a pic of my progress as of today.  I do enjoy stitching this except when I have to stitch black on black : )
  We had an ice storm here today so I hunkered down and stitched, so happy I didn't have to work in it!

Made a whole chicken, stuffing and mashed potatoes for dinner tonight, it warmed me right up, lol.  Hope it isn't too cold tomorrow because it is back to work for me!  I leave you tonight with this pic......  My Sweet Felice
