My Sunday Stitchy Update

Evening everyone!

I did a little stitching this week and then my stitchy bug disappeared again. I figure it is in one of these unpacked boxes.  There are not to many left so I should find it soon! I really need it because I want to participate in Justine's Solo September. That is where we will stitch one piece (of your choice) for the month of September. I plan on digging Dinosaur's out and working on that!

Here is my finish!

My Sunday Stitchy Update

Evening Folks,,,

It has been a long week but thankfully I did manage to get in a bit of stitching.

As you know I participated in Justine's Just One July and worked on Dinosaur! I did not quite finish two columns so I kept it out a couple of extra days to finish that section and here is the update.

Now it will be going away until Justine holds

Solo September and I work on this again!

Also with all the puppy excitement last week I forgot to show the update of the Words SAL! It was just a small update as is this weeks but EVERY STITCH COUNTS! I have been stitching this while at the new house waiting for deliveries.  First up is last week's update

And this week's update

Progress as of 08/04/16

Sorry, but I have one more update for you...

Some of you might remember that I joined the "1 Hour A Day Challenge" over at pomegranate and chintz. I started a few days late so naturally I ended a few days late too...but I DID IT! Here are my daily progress pictures.

Days 1 thru 5

Days 6 - 14

This week will probably consist of little to no stitching as we prepare for the big move on Saturday! Wish us luck. I am praying all goes smoothly just like when we moved here from Illinois.

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week (maybe) with another faithful update!

I hope to finish that Dreamcatcher and get started on the next one this week but now Jacob is out of school for the summer and things have been pretty hectic around here with some stuff that is going on.  Nothing serious and I hope everything will be sorted out soon.

First up is the

Progress as of 04/14/16

Then I worked on Smoosh! I had the penguin and the cupcake done about two years ago but never got around to adding the words that I charted out. My grandson requested this piece based on this commercial that comes on during the Christmas season from Pier One Imports.

Evening Friends!

I hope that everyone had a fabulous holiday! Our day was good; my daughter cooked a fabulous dinner featuring a delicious spiral ham. I was stuffed but so satisfied!

I am happy to say that my stitchy bug came back some this week. I started something new which may have helped some ;)  Also, thank you everyone for your words of encouragement while I was looking for my bug and trying to get my motivation back.

First I start working on

A-Mazing Friends SAL

Part 1

Designer - Ursula Michael

Progress as of 03/25/16

I only worked on the maze on this section; there are words to fill in still. This is one of those pick your own colors or choose from many different combinations they gave you. None of their maze line colors were speaking to me so I used a variegated thread to try and achieve the same effect that they were going after.

Next I worked on

Good Evening Everyone!

Hope that everyone is doing great :)  To my friends getting snow and ice, I hope that spring finds you soon and that you stay warm while you are waiting!

I have lots to show you today...

First up my daughter put some purple highlights in my hair! It is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time and I finally took the plunge!!  Here is how it looks now

There is more purple in the back but some is hard to see because it is kind of light and blends right in with my hair. All in all I am pleased and happy that we did it.


Next up!

My friend Mary (from Illinois) was vacationing in Arizona this week and came to have lunch with me!  When we started planning it our other friend Deb (from California) said that she would love to meet us that day also! So YAY!! I get to have lunch with two of my friends!  It was a fantastic time. We had some great Mexican food and lots of talking and laughing.

Here we are after lunch

To remember our lunch I made Mary this

Good Evening Everyone!

The weather here is beautiful and I have never been happier about the weather in February in my life!

Since my last update I stitched up two small LK charts that I can not show yet because they are gifts for some friends.

Good evening friends!

First off I hope that all of you affected by the snow storm of 2016 are safe and sound and that you have not suffered any damage to your property. That snow is the main reason we moved from Chicago to warm and sunny Tucson! We didn't want to deal with those storms and cold anymore. This week we had warm temperatures in the 70s and I couldn't have asked for anything better!

On the stitchy front this week I stitched the first section of the

Since I have only had it out for a couple of days I think I will keep it out and continue stitching it.

New SAL from Palko-Lap!

I have been waiting for the announcement of her new SAL for 2016 and here it is!

It is called Words and I love the chart.

She designed it in three different colors and I need to decide which I want to do it or if I want to do some other color.

Also the Months SAL that I did last year is now going to be a freebie available on her page.  You can go here monthly and collect the charts to stitch them up. I did each one individually but she has a different layout complete with a Bible verse if you want to do it that way.

Hope to see some of you stitching one or both of these!

Thanks for stopping by,

See ya next time!
