Owl finished

All done! :) I love quick finishes...

I'm back! Some updates

So it's been a while since I posted here, and I am sorry. I haven't done much stitching since Christmas, but I started a new project this week which is almost finished. It's small but uber cute :)

First, I finished Santa. I didn't change the text like I wanted to but oh well. I haven't heard anything from my uncle so I am not sure if he liked it or not, or was so overly offended that he disowned me haha!

I started Wendy's Owl by Ships Manor. Fun little pattern...lots of colours :)

And one more thing, I finally tried some embroidery on the weekend! 

Nothing special...just trying out some different stitches. 

That's all folks! Till next time...

Santa progress

I haven't updated in a while, but made some progress with Santa...Bit of beard left the the text, which I might modify...

The pattern says "wanted! Jolly man bearing gifts" ...however, this is a gift for my uncle who happens to be gay lol, and didn't really realize what it said until after I bought it :/ so I'm thinking of changing the words to something less...suggestive LOL. Any suggestions?

Santa and another gift done!

So Santa is starting to drive me bonkers. I bought it thinking it would be a quick finish, but I was wrong. Seems like he's taking forever. The chart is Wanted Santa by Lizzie Kate...

So I decided to do a quick jobby to break it up. This bookmark is for a friend of mine who is an avid reader, I saw this kit on Subversive Cross Stitch and thought it would be perfect for her :)

Slowly making progress

Quick update for my Santa. Been doing some stitching for a few minutes before bed the last few days...it's getting there!

And my first post from my new iPhone 4S! I turned into one of those fanboys who got one on release day. Only took an hour though :)

Xmas gift #2

I started another small project for another gift...

My stitching needs to take a break for a bit...I have a lot of work coming up...so that will eat most of my spare time :( I hope to get caught up soon!

Xmas gift #1 finished!

Well I finished 1 out of at least 4 gifts to make this year...I need to make 2 of these...

A Lizzie Kate chart...

Just need to frame it now :)

My Socks Arrived!

Ok, this is completely off topic...but I'm excited and must share :) I ordered a couple pair of epic socks a couple weeks ago, and they finally arrived!

The boyfriend has doubts I will ever wear them, which I probably won't ALL the time, but a girl can never have too many pairs of awesome socks, right? :D

TOS Progress

Pictures are terrible but here is a quick update. I'm putting this one down for a bit while I work on a couple small projects for Christmas gifts. Also, boss #2 gave me a bunch of work to do now so I may not get much time to do ANY stitching :( ah well. Money, right?

Glow in the Dark

Ok, so I went to Michael's to get some fabric for a couple small projects for Christmas gifts (yikes I know, I started my preparations) and thought about getting some glow in the dark thread. They had 1 skein left. 4$ was the price...compared to 49 cents for regular colors. I thought that was a bit ridiculous but I bought it anyways :P I'm a sucker for halloween-y stuff...since my birthday is Halloween :) I don't have any projects in mind for it yet but I'm sure I can find something :).

My winnings arrived! :)

Eeee the cuteness I won from Flossy Bobbin arrived the other day! So excited. Makes me want to learn to crochet so I can make my own cute thingy majigs :D

TOS progress

I managed to finish parts 2 and 3...and started part 4. I hate French knots :(

Tree of Stitches started!

So I finally started Abi's Tree of stitches chart. I finished the first part...the "trunk". Looking forward to doing the other stitches :)

On a side note, I loathe black evenweave haha

NYANYANYANYAN

Another small victory! Started this last night because I was alone and bored, finished it tonight! It's a lot smaller than I was expecting, but with the star thingies around it, it fits in a 5x7 frame nicely. Amazing, a finish that will fit in a standard size frame! ;) pattern was found on Sprite Stitch.

 Update: Framed and a better picture :)

Another Finish

Yay so I finally found some time to work on my little piece I started a few weeks ago. Been so busy with work and summer that I hadn't even had time to look at it. I even bought a frame for it a while back when they were on sale.

The lovely blackwork border is from Hardcore StitchCorps found here. 

Can you decode the message? ;)

I Won! :D

I'm so excited, because I never win anything. Ever. But I won Flossy Bobbin's cute little giveaway! I picked the red heffalump and the white owl. Very excited for them to arrive :D

Back to work now :\

PS, small stitch update coming soon....I think. ;)

FINISHED DOG LESSONS ROUND 2!

Finally! I managed to find some time the last few days to finally put dog lessons to an end LOL my goal was to finish it by end of June....I'm only...like...a month and a half behind schedule....that's not that bad...right?? Yes Mel it is. but work kept me so busy and my boyfriend bought a motorcycle, so those both ate all my spare time. Speaking of which...I am taking the motorcycle safety course in 2 weeks to get my license....then if all goes well get my own bike next spring :) super excited! Fingers crossed for me!


Now I will head out tomorrow to find a frame for this albatross and hang it on my wall. Then on to the next one...haven't decided what I will do next yet...many small projects on my list. 


Until next time :)

My babies Tyra and Crush staying cool in a freshly dug hole :)

Dog Lessons...goal is fading...

So here it is...4 days before the end of June...and I still have a lot of work to do to finish Dog Lessons #2. I have the entire top title...all of the little pictures, and part of the last line of text. Not going to happen. I have had a lot of work to do at home and just haven't had the time. *sigh* maybe end of July....

New small stitch

So I took a break from my second "dog lessons" to do something a little different. I made up the pattern last night and started stitching....I got most of it finished last night but had to go to bed...but I finished it this afternoon. I'm going to get a small frame for it this weekend and hand it somewhere in the house...

I think it's neat...subliminal message :P

Started another Dog Lessons

So I found the motivation to start a second "dog lessons". I've got a few hours into it so far...My goal is to finish it by the end of June...we will see how that goes :P
