February 23 update

At the beginning of this week, Mom and I took the kids to an indoor water park for 2 nights.  It was a lot of fun, but I didn't get much stitching done, and oldest DD got sick at the end of our vacation.

This is what I have worked on:

 Finished Doodle Doo, for Mom

 Doodle Doo, by Angel stitchin, on linen, using DMC 310, 

and ST Brandy, Buckeye Scarlet, Midnight and Oatmeal

Autumn Sampler Snippet by Lizzie Kate

Land that I Love, by Shepherd's Bush, another one for Mom.  

I am giving it back to her and she is going to finish it.

Weekly Update: Feb 10, 2013

I did not get very much stitching done this week but today I was able to get some stiching done on the January tea cup.

Hopefully I can get a bit more done next week.

Week Wrap-up: Feb 4, 2013

This is what I stitched on last week.

1. Doodle Doo

I have run out of 2 of the overdyed flosses for this and will have to pick some up at our LNS when Mom comes out to visit.  

2. January Tea Cup, from the Just Another Button Company Cup O' Tea series

I have had the pattern series for a few years now and finally decided to get started with them.  I imagine I will get some more stitching done tonight during the SuperBowl.

I started something new for the game last night but didn't get a picture of it yet.  Will show it the end of this week!

Late Update, January 28, 2013

Last week, youngest DD was sick.  I finally took her to the doctor on Thursday morning.  Poor thing has not been feeling well, but at least she is on the mend now.

I only stitched on 1 WIP this past week.

January 21 2013 Update

This was a long week.  Oldest DD got sick (yucky kind of sick!) in the middle of the night on Wednesday, after Hubby and I had been sick most of the day.  Hubby and I had a fever, aches and pains, all the good news of the flu.  Youngest DD got sick- just a fever- on Friday night, she actually fell asleep on the floor, something that hasn't happened in a long time!

I didn't even feel up to stitching on Thursday or Friday, instead, spent most of the time just watching movies.

But before everyone got sick, I did get some stitching done.

Finished 1-14-2013

Monthly Mania May, by Heart in Hand

Stitched on 32-count linen, using 

DMC 798, 813, 221, 554, 413, 743, 841, and  500

By Sunday, I was feeling better.  Youngest DD was still lying on the couch and running a fever.  At least I go her to eat a little bit on Sunday.
