End of the Week Report June 14, 2009

I am on the mainland with my parents now. To get off the island and get to my final destination I had to make 2 connections. The flights were uneventful, which was nice. I did get some stitching done. Here is my summary update for the week.


First off, I worked on the wise man from the nativity set. I finished a lot of his sleeve and hat. I left this pattern at home, so he won’t get worked on for a few weeks. I am scheduled to be here with my parents until July. So he will be neglected for the next couple of weeks.



I did some work on the Easter block pattern. Stitching it on the airplane was causing problems so I had to put it away. But it is pretty mindless stitching, so I expect to make some progress on it while I am here.

Finish number 15 for 2009! I got it done this morning at the hospital. Bet you can’t tell where I had to change thread lots- on the “W” and on the tree.

I made some progress on my soldier memorial. I am hoping to have it finished in the next week.

I am planning to have some easy stitching projects to work on while I am at the hospital. Thanks for stopping by, and for your prayers and good thoughts.

Sunday Sunday

Well, here we are at last. The end of the week. I did not get a whole lot of stitching done. It was so hot this week, and I wasn't feeling well. We actually had to break down and turn on the air conditioner. We got home from church on Wednesday night and it was 89 in the house!!!!

So I did get a little stitching done. First up is the current American Soldier Memorial piece. Unfortunately, I have almost run out of blue! I tried to get an order places with 123Stitch.com, but for some reason my computer was having issues, so almost half the threads I needed didn't show up on the final order. I decided to cancel that order, but did not get around to re-ordering this week. I will have to do that, since I need the fabric for my surprise gift also!



I have been working mostly on the Joy to the World pattern. It is on Aida, so I don't have to work hard to figure out the stitches. But, Arrrrrgh! Now it looks like I don't have enough Amber to finish the "W"! Why can't I figure out how much thread I need for a project???



Finally, I decided to start another new project. This is the Henzeit Easter block pattern. It has been sitting in my stash for I don't know how long. It is actually one I was supposed to stitch for my mom, although she has probably forgotten about it by now. I didn't get very far on it.




I am having a problem with pattern overload- LOL. I have kitted up several other patterns, and now I am having trouble deciding which one I should work on. Of course, if I were thinking ahead, I would be working on the surprise and the Christmas gifts instead of a bunch of patterns for myself. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day. I will get back on my rotation schedule.

A Quiet Week

Not much to report here. I have been dealing with another sinus infection. It's my second on the year, which is actually outstanding for me. Usually I have 8-10 per year, so to only be on number 2 is doing well. I have not been getting very much stitching done either.

I did get started on a new pattern. Being sick, I wanted something that required very little thinking on my part to be able to stitch- LOL! This is Joy to the World by Twisted Threads.





It is actually supposed to be three colors, WDW Mulberry, WDW Whitewash for all the little snowflakes in the background that you can't see in the picture, and ST Shutter Green. I didn't have enough mulberry to do all the words so I decided to use the green for "to the", and picked WDW Amber for "world". Red, green and gold, those are Christmas colors, right? I have also decided there is no way I am doing all those little one-stitches for the snowflakes all over the background!

Once I have finished this pattern, I will be giving it away. Stay tuned for the give away/ trade post...
