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 :)

Happy New Year!!!!

Wanting to wish all of you a very Happy New Year!!!
Hoping everyone has a prosperous healthy New Year! I have decided to join a group to help me finish my WIPs this year. It is called the January Crazies Group.  Hopefully I will get these wips done, lol   I need help as much help as I can get!

Here is a pic of icicles on my house.  Looks like there is no gravity here in Smithfield          

I have icicles upside down, lol!  How weird is that!

                                           

Happy Holidays to all my Stitching Friends!

I am wrapping gifts and baking cookies at the moment but really wanted to wish you all Happy Holidays and a safe Happy New Year!  Finally the post office is slowing down from the holidays so I can get back to my stitching.  I have been working from 7 am to 6 pm 6 days a week for the past two weeks.  I have been delivering at least 100 packages a day besides the mail.  It has been crazy there!
At the moment I am on my 5th batch of cookies which is Lemon-Coconut Cream Drops

The next batch is Chocolate-Covered Cherry Cookies using real Chocolate covered cherries

I will be having my traditional Christmas party tomorrow and my whole family will be here.  I do like making cookie platters for my family to take home :)

Will update...........

Cannot Believe It Is Winter!!!!

New Kitten First Caught

It is in the 60 here in Rhode Island!  Cannot believe it is almost Christmas and the weather is just beautiful.  Most of my Christmas shopping is done and I have most of my decorating done.  Now the start of baking my cookies.
Stitching news?  NaDa! Working at the post office is keeping me from that.  I am working 6 days a week from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m.  When I get home I am so tired.  The stitching will have to wait until after Christmas unless I have a easy day which does not look promising.

Sleeping on my daughter

Cat Rescuing?  I have caught another kitten which I have in a taming cage but since he is so easy to train, I do allow him out for play everyday.  Here is a couple of pics of the new feral/tamed kitten.

REALLY!! Frog Visit!!!

Really !  I am now frogging quite a few stitches from Booville.  Stoney Creek with their using the same symbols but two colors meaning to different colors! Will be back with an update hopefully tomorrow :)

Has it Been That Long!!!

WoW it has been a few weeks since I posted.  I have not been stitching the past 3 weeks.  After catching the flu I lost my mojo.  But, I have decided to stitch on Witches of Booville tonight while watching the X-Factor.  I am wishing all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! Be Safe.

Still In the Halloween Mood!!!

My oldest daughter Jen sent me this pic of her at a costume party she was at in PA. I thought it was an awesome costume as a zombie or skeleton. lol  Here is the pic

Happy Stitching!
