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

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.

And DD has made this much progress:


Kind of jumping around a lot!  But at least I am getting some kitted stuff finished finally!

April 18 Update

My stitching has been very scattered this month.   This week was standardized testing for my oldest DD, and I was  busy proctoring testing for 7th and 8th graders.  Plus I haven't been feeling very focused on stitching- I guess it is anticipation for getting ready to move this summer.  

So this week, I worked on Spring House on Monday and Friday.  Here is my progress so far.

Then I worked on my Nativity Camel on Tuesday and Wednesday, although I did not get a lot of stitching time those days.  I think I am going to have to just focus on the camel so I can keep moving on the Nativity set!

Here is my TUSAL update as well.  Getting pretty full!

Thanks for stopping by!

Weekend Update: February 27, 2010

This week I got a little more stitching time.  Not too much- we still had family on the island, and both the kids were sick this week too.  But I did make some progress.

For UFO Tuesday, I worked on Thanks Be To God.  It is coming along slowly, but I think it will look really nice when it is finished.

The main project for this week was the nativity camel.  

On Friday, I worked on a WIP started last year.  This is the Annual Christmas Sampler by Homespun Elegance.  

Here is my updated TUSAL.  Should be interesting making sure I get all of my snippets (orts) into the container when all of our household goods are on a container ship heading back to the mainland.  I may have to pack the jar in my luggage....

I am planning to start another memorial for the American Soldier Memorial group, and will work on that this weekend.

Happy stitching to you!  Thanks for stopping by.

Weekend Update

This week I did not get very much stitching done.  For UFO Tuesday, I didn't even get to stitch!  Oh well, hopefully next week, I will get some stitching time in.  I might get to do some tomorrow at our friend's super bowl party too...

Here is my progress on Starry Night.  I need to finish the frame and the tree, and add a charm, and then it will be done.

My TUSAL update for this week.  

I finally started one of my Nativity goals for 2010.  This is the start of the sitting camel from the Leisure Arts Nativity Set.
