Where has the time gone

Time seems to be like a run away train these days. Between chasing after my 2 1/2 year old, a large garden and trying to finish our house that we are building, lets just say life has completely taken over. That and I've had no desire to stitch. Last week it had been almost 2 months since I picked up a needle, scary I know. But the good news I seem to have found some of my stitching mojo again. I've picked up my Santa again, I'm so far behind on him its not funny. This was a piece I was stitching with a bunch of great Ladies for the Christmas Design Sal. Hopefully I can caught up to where I am suppose to be, keeping fingers crossed anyways. Here is to hopping for a complete return to my stitching power and a return to blog land.

Another Santa Update

I know, I know you guys must be getting sick of seeing pics of this guy, and no I'm not an obsessed stitcher well OK maybe I am. Still waiting for my fabric to arrive so I can start my Heaven and Earth design, snail mail is right. I've been searching through my magazines trying to decide which ornament to stitch for April so until then Santa it will be.

Another Polar Santa Update

I'm having a hard time putting this down and working on anything else. So here is another 30 rows of Polar Santa done. 20 more rows to make the half way part on the chart, looking forward to seeing the rest of the polar bear come to life. I was feeling bad at Santa's blank looking face so I started some of the back stitching on the Santa.

A Polar Santa Update

I wasn't planning on stitching on this again until the beginning of April but I didn't feel like pulling thread for a new start and my fabric for my HAED hasn't arrived yet. So I was in a ho hum kind of mood so stitch I did on my Santa, actual managed to get in close to 2000 stitches on the far right mountain range. Hope everyone had a great weekend filled with stitches.

A Polar Santa Update

I've been stitching on my Polar Santa this week, with all the ladies through Yoyo's Christmas Design SAL. If your brave pop on over here http://thelittlepage.us/dragonfiles/image_galleries/christmas_design_sal/ and have a look at some of the beautiful work on display, don't say I didn't warn you. Since joining this SAL, I found a few new designs to add to my to do pile. So here is a mid week update of my Santa, thank goodness I'm done with the blue sky back ground.

Polar Santa Update

Just thought I would give you a quick update on what my stitching fingers have been up to this week.

January Update

I joined a Christmas Sal hosted by Yoyo over at Dragon My Needle info and sign up can be found here http://dragonmyneedle.blogspot.com/2009/11/christmas-design-sal.html . My choice was "Polar Santa" by Dimensions. After a rocky start here is my January progress. My hope is it will be finished and framed for this Christmas, keep your fingers and toes crossed for me.
