A Finish and new start

First of all I just want to thank everyone who is still with me even though I haven't been updating as much as I would like. I've been busy with everyday life. I have picked out my bridesmaid dress and shoes for my brother-in-law's wedding now I just have to figure out what to do with my hair.

 I have finished the sampler for the happy couple. I just have to wash and get it framed.

Next up is a new start this is Solstice and Equinox by Thomas another HAED. This one I'm doing for my brother.

Happy Mother's Day

I just want to wish all the US mothers out there in blog land Happy Mother's Day.

WIPocalypse for March

Sorry I've not updated on time this month but it's begun as a busy month so I'm hoping it will slow down and leave in a calm matter.

Well I've been stitching  on a couple of projects this past month. I've been working on Happily Ever After for my BIL and future SIL who have set a date in July and both DH and I are both in the wedding so I'm gonna try and get this done early.

Next is A Long Winter's Nap I'm working on all the black right now since it's the most color used in the bottom of page 1. I bought a couple of  new HAEDs during their 50% sale one for me and one for my brother. I'll be starting the one for my brother as soon as I finish a project and I pull the colors.

TUSAL for February

Here is my TUSAL for February I know it's several days late but I did make the posting during the month so I guess that counts. As you can see I didn't add a whole lot to this since I was working on some knitting and not a whole alot of cross stitching. I'm hoping to add some to this jar next month.

WIPocalypse for February

Well another month has passed for the WIPocalypse and I actually had time to stitch due to having a minor surgery. I stitched on A Long Winter's Nap a HAED. I'm on all confetti stitches, which I hate by the way. I'm hoping the next time I stitch on this I'll be done with them and onto more solid colors.

Next up is Happily Ever After I stitched on this one the most as you can see. After I've read about everyone working on their HAEDs I decided to work on one of mine.

TUSAL and knitting update

Here is my TUSAL for January. Sorry it's very blurry, I don't know what happened there. As you can see most of my orts are from my knitting and crocheting.

Here is my first sock. I do have both socks done but taking a pic right now is hard to do.

I had surgery on Monday the 22nd and the incestion is right on my belly button so bending over and putting on socks is a little painful. I will be taking pics later this week or early next week with my socks on. I have started knitting another pair for myself. I'm also working on one of my WIPs so my next update will be a pic of my cross stitch.

WIPocalypse January Update

Well it's a new year so let's hope I do better at updating and reading blogs. I do know that I'm addicted to Ravelry. To all you non knitters and crocheters out there it's a place for knitters and crocheters to get together and talk about the world of yarn. I also found a group on there that was related to cross stitching.

Speaking of stitching I've actually done some I've been working on Happy Ever After since it has to be done some time soon since the couple is not sure when they are getting married so I need to have it done at least to the point in putting the date in.
