It's About Time

Geez, I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted. Goes to show the old saying "Time flys when you're having fun" is so true. I have been stitching away & have 3 projects to update on. When last I posted it was with my progress on Treasure Quest. Now I have updates on 3 projects that I have stitched on since then. Train of Dreams, The Astronomer & Chocolate Chocolate & More Chocolate (this one will now be referred to as CC&MC). They have each had 2 weeks of stitching.

Also woke up this morning to more of that four letter word s***. Come on enough is enough. I grew up in Montana & we never had this much snow at once back then.

I would also like to ask a favor of anyone who comments & asks a question please leave your email address so I can reply.

Treasure Quest

Hi All,

 It has been 2 weeks of stitching on Treasure Quest so it is time to post a progress picture & then change to The Astronomer for his 2 weeks of attention. I have also taken a picture of my TUSAL for this month. I know I know I'm late. In my defense I am stitching instead of taking pictures on time. I also added a photo of my stitching buddy Brandi. You should try to stitch with a 65 pound Irish Setter in the chair with you..She is pretty good though she lays still & keeps her head out of the way. I can't say the same for all the exotic fibers that end up in my stitching.

RIP Rene La Frog

Sad news. This week we lost a dear friend & fellow stitcher Rene La Frog to cancer. She will be greatly missed in our stitching groups & by her family.
From now on every stitch I make will be dedicated to Rene because of her love of stitching & her willingness to help anyone who asked.

With her permission I borrowed this from Mel L's blog.

January 2011

Wow, I can't believe it is 2011 already. Why does it seem that time goes faster the older you get. Seems like summer was just yesterday & now it is the middle of winter. We had a great Christmas & a quiet New Year.

I had the week between Christmas & New Years off so got alot of stitching done. It's amazing what you can do when you don't have to worry about going to work Then again have to work to pay for stash. I finished my 2 week rotation on Train of Dreams & on January 1 I started Treasure Quest. I know I'm crazy but I can't help myself. Spangler's work is so addicting & the little dragons are so cute. So cute that I ordered 4 more of them. HAED was having a 30% off sale & what girl can resist a sale. I got Eldar, Afternoon Tea,Curl up with a Good Book & Medieval Shelf. I also picked up Christmas Presence for my Santa collection. Without boring you further here is my progress on Train of Dreams & my start on Treasure Quest.

I have also taken the last picture of my TUSAL for 2010. It has been emptied into my huge jar & is ready to start over for 2011.

I'm Back

It has been a couple of weeks so thought I would do another post. Mouse from FS wants to see progress pictures so that she can decide if I deserve the wet noodle.I have been so intent on stitching that I haven't wanted to take the time to take them off the q's & take the pictures. Well today I did so here they are.
