Another one off the list

I actually finished this Friday morning but was just too darn tired to post it. So here is Snowflake Serenade all stitched up. All that's left is to think about how to finish it.

So seeing as I had 3 days left in my week before i switch back to the Christmas Sampler, I had a problem what to do to fill in the days. I just got my silks for Sabrina the other day and she was pouting, so I decided to free her from the basket for a couple of days.

I'll be working on the Christmas Sampler beginning of the week come back on Wednesday for a peek if you want to. Wishing everyone a safe and warm week.

Lazy Mondays

Don't I wish, I seem to be going around like a chicken with its head cut off. If I could stay focused on one task it might be OK but I seem to jumping around with my cleaning today. I'm hoping tomorrow the Dr will give me an exact date that he plans on inducing me, it will be a lot easier doing things without this beach ball in front of me.

I was hoping to post this as a happy dance and cross another off my list but it wasn't meant to be. So this is my progress on Day 4 of the January challenge :



All I have left is the snowman in the "Frosty the snowman" block then there is a block under that to do then the border. So maybe later this week you will see it finished unless another piece screams at to stitch on it. I really need to figure out some sort of rotation for the rest of my 15. Seeing this is Monday and I'm suppose to be working on my Christmas Sampler SAL on Mondays and Tuesdays, I'd better get some stitches in.

Join me on Wednesday, if you would like to see an update on the Christmas piece. Have a wonderful week everyone.

Day 4 of the crazy Challenge and a Wednesday Update

So after my great start to yesterday's challenge. I head into town to get groceries and return some video's. When I returned home it was time to start cooking for the hungry family. Then it was play time, bath time, story time and finally time for jammies for Kenny. So I got a late start to stitching yesterday but considering all I am happy with the results. Here is the start to Snowflake Serenade


With the 15 day Challenge going on I haven't had much time to work on the Christmas Sampler that I'm doing a SAL with Cat and Wendy. It doesn't look like much has changed but I've finally frogged the rest of the problem areas and managed to get most of it restitched. So even though the picture hasn't changed much there is actually a lot of stitches in.



Off to get ready all my tests from yesterday were bumped to today. SO I have a NST at the hospital, a growth ultrasound scheduled, plus blood work to do, then I have to go see the Doctor. So no promises on how much stitching there will be to show for Day 5 tomorrow. Wishing everyone a safe and warm day.

Day 4 of the crazy Challenge problems

You will laugh at my pregnant mommy brain. Went to my basket and flipped through what was left and do you think any of the 12 charts jumped out at me and demanded to be stitched no. So instead of walking away and coming back later when I sure they would all be screaming at me at once. Nope not little old me, so instead I waddled over to my filing cabinet of stash and started looking. I'm so bad, so I finally found something that screamed at me "Snowflake Serenade" by Country Cottage Needleworks. So big sigh of relief I have something to stitch today, then onto pulling thread, yep I have all the colours called for. So only one thing left fabric, think I'm going to get lucky nope. Don't have the called for colour, but I'm bound to have something that should work in my stash. Wrong again, its snowing so I didn't want to drive to the not so local LNS. So what is a girl to do, hmmm. The answer white fabric and add coffee. So just waiting for the coffee pot to finish running through then I will antique my fabby and hope the white thread will show up. So its 2PM on January 4th and I have yet to stitch 1 stitch on my day 4 project. Hopefully if your still reading I will be back in the morning to share a pic.
