Sundays Stitchy Update...

Hello everyone - We are still in the mighty grip of WINTER. Just when you finally think the snow is finished, no...it comes back again.  We had a couple of inches out there this morning and the temperatures are bitter cold once again. We are supposed to have more snow this week and it is supposed to be freezing everyday. I am anxiously waiting for warmer days and in my opinion they can't get here fast enough.

This week I finished

Positive Thoughts

a freebie that was offered at this site

Jardin Prive

Finished 02/24/14

Then yesterday I decided to work on this

WIP that I haven't touched since 2012.

Rose of Sharon

Design Connection

This is my progress as of 03/02/14

It is was also TUSAL day yesterday

but I forgot so here it is today

I still have lots of room left so 

I hope start filling it up soon!

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another faithful update!

Sundays Stitchy Update...

Hi everyone!

Hoping you had a great week and a great IHSW weekend!

I really wanted to finish the Positive Thoughts piece this weekend but it didn't happen though I did get in lots of stitches but unfortunately half of them were "do-overs". On Saturday, I had more trouble with the little cottage than I could have EVER imagined! Then on Sunday - came computer problems...ugh - it is ALWAYS something.  First Outlook wouldn't work, my daughter and I worked on that for a while and FINALLY got it going again; then the internet wouldn't work on the computer, got it working then my virus software went crazy...all and all it has been a CRAZY weekend - hoping that is all past me know and things are moving in the right direction now and so I will try again tomorrow and pray for better luck with it.

Les Marrottes de Nathalie

Progress as of 02/23/14

Though before the craziness of the weekend
started I did have a FINISH!

I finished all the stitching on
Charmed Teacher Sampler
DebBee's Designs

Finished 02/17/14
I still need to add the charms and I will do
that when I am getting ready to frame it.
I LOVE how it looks so far!

So did you have a better stitching weekend than I did?

I hope so, so leave me a comment and let me know!

Sunday Stitching Update...

...another one that is a day late ~ sorry about that but it has been a marvelous week full of fun, food, surprises and great family time! Both my daughter and grandson had off for the entire week and don't go back to school and work until after the new years!

I did stitch on Dinosaurs during the

 IHSW and here is how it looks today.

I will get a better picture of it next time I do an update.

Also I cleaned out my TUSAL jar and

now have a new ORTament for my tree. 

Here is my grandson posing with it,

he is such a ham  ;)

This week I worked on the latest installment of the

Positive Thoughts SAL from the website

Les Marrottes de Nathalie

(please excuse the wrinkles)

Can't wait for the next section to be released!

Yesterday I worked on putting my
Christmas present on bobbins

I made some labels for the bobbins

and I got all the floss on them! 

they always look so pretty in the case!

Sunday's Stitchy Update...

Only a little late! :)

Last week I did a lot of organizing instead of stitching. I made myself a simple database using Access and started keying in some of the charts...adjusting the database to put in new fields...keying in more charts...more adjusting...filing the charts away in some kind of order.  It is very time consuming!

I took one of my charts and went to the office supply store where I found this stacking drawer.  It was the perfect fit for the charts - so I bought it!

I filed the charts in here alphabetically by designer.

I also had a few of these boxes laying around already 

so in one of them I have all my little Lizzie*Kate charts filed by chart number and in another I have other small charts filed by designer.

I typed in about 250 charts into my inventory so far and then I need to take a BREAK from all that typing so on to stitching!

I wanted to catch up with The Positive Thoughts SAL from the blog The Marottes Nathalie that I started last Sunday so I stitched up the rest over the weekend 

I changed some of the colors but I really like it,

I can't wait for part 3 to come out.
