Stitching update 

I received a RAK from a follow stitcher the other day.  I was down and depressed and didn't want to do anything let alone stitch.  She gave me Sistine Chapel from HAED.  I almost cried.  This is what I have stitched so far! I am stitching it on 18 count Aida.  It is coming along so well.

Other news 

The kids are doing well. Miranda is getting ready to turn 17!  I can't believe it!  Then a week later Skylar turns 4. Justin is going to be 13.  Ariel is going to be 21!  My kids are growing up! 

Miranda wanted to try stitching but it really wasn't for her.  So I will make it for her. 

Stitching and such

I started on Peacock Garden!  It is a restart!  It is coming along nicely.  I am stitching it using tent stitches. Then I was raked Sistine Chapel so I started on that also.  I am enjoying both pieces so much.  I am still working in Cleopatra and on Queen of Egypt.  I may need to do rotation again!  I will see how it all goes 

Major stitching update!

Hi all!  Well I have been stitching like crazy!  I had to put Cleopatra to the side I ran out of DMC 310!  So I picked up Peacock Garden and have restarted this!  I want to make it for bathroom.  

So it is coming along!  I am stitching with tent stitch and I am loving it!  

I am hoping to add another HAED to my rotation.  I am hoping to start the SistineChapel  which I want to so for my hallway.  I need to find fabric that isn't so darn expensive!  

On home front everything is going ok around here!  We have had two snow storms in the last two weeks and then a another one is due next weekend.  Enough snow already!  Ugh!  We'll I am off to stitch away!  

Progress

Finally been stitching on Cleopatra for a bit and it is coming along.  I can see her crown!

Stitching and such

This is my Cleopatra Queen of Egypt that I have been working on a lot this week.  I am going to continue to work on it since I am enjoying it so much.  It is unfolding nicely.  

Besides stitching there really isn't much going on.  Just trying to deal with something's in my life and get myself back up on my feet. Stitching has really helped to keep my mind off everything this's week.  First row is finished!  Now onto second row!

Monday musings

Stitching update

I finally made a date in my stitching if Cleopatra.  This is from last week.  I am excited with the way it is turning out!  I can't wait to work on her some more. 

I put this one aside to work on Queen of Egypt.  This one goes a little faster only because I use tent stitches instead of full xs.  I can't wait to get farther along on this one also.  I want to hurry up and get these finished for my living room.

My 17 year old daughter started a Mystic Stitch free one.  She hasn't really done a lot on it.  But I think the stitching bug has gotten a hold of her.  She was so excited about jumping in to it.  She wanted one that didnt have a whole lot of confetti.

 Page finish and stitching news

Finally page two is finished on Queen of Egypt!  I am so thrilled.  I am stitching away on page three.  I am excited eith how quickly it is going.  I have been trying to make a good dent and do some catching up which is fine.  So far I am getting there. 

Been working my butt off and am pretty wore out.  I want to get some more charts but first just trying to get bills caught up and all that good stuff.  The kids are getting ready to go back to school.  Thank Goodness.  I am so ready for them to go back to school.
