Tomorrow I will scan. I still haven't found my camera/video,don't know where it could've gone.
I've been working on the Citrine, the Carnation Sampler and Last Frog-I think I worked a little on something else too just can't remember what right now.
I've been doing a few floss swaps,so I have some new dyed floss that I need to find projects for. I have also been buying bits and pieces of different linen/evenweaves. Can't say I like the linens too much,haven't tried stitching on any of them yet-might not. I do like the evenweaves tho. I have 2 starts on it so far(that's what else I was working on). One is just a small on a piece of fabric I got in an ILCS exchange(9x13 jobelan)28 ct I believe solo from silkweaver it's real pretty. After looking at it for awhile with my husband-we discovered I have stitched a wave in it?.Chalking it up to first time and leaving it in I don't think it's that noticeable. The other is my very first HAED purchase QS dragon soul-I'm doing it on ant. white 28ct. 1x1. This took me awhile to figure out. At first I tried it 2x1 that got real tight and my thumb got real sore so after a block I ripped it all out and tried 2x2 didn't really like that either so I ripped it out again....by now it's 4 am So i packed it all up and got it out again the next day when I had had some sleep and my husband took all the kids out of the house for awhile. It's still tiny work and I don't have my kreinik yet so I'm hoping those spots won't be too lost. I can only work on it well when the kids aren't around so it's usually late night work but I have about 3 squares done.

Things I've been working on

Carnation Sampler

Sistine Chapel by Artecy

Citrine QS by HAED


Don't know if I should try to load all my scans on here or not. I've been working on quite a few things. And I finished up a floss swap. And a Color the World Exchange. Car problems for my daughter and her boyfriend are mostly over-so it's back to what me and Valorie like to do.

Been working on Mystic Stitch contest and got some done. Valorie woke up last night ans I wasn't able to get any late stitching in. Her mommy is supposed to pick her up for awhile tomorrow so I'll either stitch or sleep. I might be able to get some scanning done.
If I do I will post some pics.

Sick


We've all been coming down with the sniffles,so I haven't done too much stitching mostly filler stitching trying to get big areas of one color in. I haven't had any time for scanning.
Tylenol allergy leaves me feeling hung over so I switched to my antihistimanes hoping they won't leave me feeling hung over.
Thanks to you that check my blog-I know it's not very interesting but it's here now.
What does it mean to be tagged?
This is my wizard it's been a wip for 6 years-now I need more glissen gloss for it but want to save up a few more bucks as I can never just get the floss always find something I "need". LOL

I got the chart 2 days ago and was going to try a 22ct. or 28ct. I had found a pretty antique rose color. When I went back to Hobby Lobby to pick one up they were gone but I found this pale delft blue 18ct. and decided to do it on here instead. So here is the progress on my HAED Citrine.

Still here-still stitching

I've been busy being a driver. Have still been stitching just have to fight for computer time. I have one kid out of school for 2 weeks because she passed tests last year,she is staying with her sister-woo hoo. I have started a HAED as part of their BB SAL challenge it's pretty lots of pinks and a butterfly-Valorie will love it.

Staying busy


I've been staying busy. Stitching, driving, caring for Valorie, driving.
I started the Sistine Chapel by Artecy,it's going to be huge...Not sure yet what to do with it after it's finished. This is what I have so far. I go back and forth between a hoop and the q-snap. I only have one size of q-snap (for now) so at night I use my bigger hoop. Can't use it during the day as it's big enough to fit over Valorie's head it's her big pink necklace-not the best toy idea but she's always by my side and she's not hurt herself on it. I mostly try to keep it up though.
Texas winters argh hate them. Cold then hot then freezing then hot.
Thanks for the comments, they are appreciated. Kind of new to this and have to fight for computer time now but will try harder to post more.
