A finish and a name change

I woke up this morning at about 5:30 because it was pouring so hard that I thought someone was banging on the window. I was very excited that I had an hour more to sleep. Next time I woke up it I looked at the clock and about fell out of bed! I forgot to set my alarm! What was I thinking??? Oh... I know... I was thinking that my vacation had started.

I get married on Monday in Miami. I'm going on two cruises and I'm planning on relaxing and stitching by the pool. So hopefully when I get back in two weeks I will have plenty of progress to show.

Here are a couple things I plan on working on. First, I'm bringing Lizzie Kate's Summer Alphabet (because it is going to feel like summer!) Next I'm going to bring Shepherd's Bush, Wave. I feel like I should be able to finish one and make a good amount of progress on the other. Maybe I will pick something else out to bring as well. :)

I finished one of Candy Corn Crazy Halloween ornaments. I am planning on finishing more before I put them together.

Next time I post I will be married, tanner, and have a lot of pictures to show!

Tata... Bring on the warm weather!

Happy Monday??

Hello all! Happy Monday! I kept thinking to myself.. What day is if?? GRRRR... it's Monday! I'm so glad that it is nearly over. I hope everyone had a great start to their week. I know I didn't but I wish happiness to everyone else.

Lets skip the unhappiness on my part... Here is a little something I started working on last night. It is by Sue Hillis designs called Candy Corn Crazy Volume 1. I have a dowel tree that I would love to put these on this Halloween.
I'm off to work on Drawn Thread ABC Sampler Part 2.

Tata... I hope that everyone has a great rest of the week. (p.s if you didn't read the last post please do to see if you can help out with IPAD pictures, thank you!)

Shwooo... Hard work

I was sick; home in bed (mostly) for two days. I can't tell you the last time I was sick like that! Well all I could think about when I finally made it to the couch from bed was that I miss blogging and looking at everyones lovely things. So I tried to think of ways to make blogging quicker and easier for me, then I had an AaaHA moment... I will use my IPAD! What a great idea right? So I got my handy dandy IPAD out and snapped pictures faster than lightning then realized... How in the world do I get them from my ipad to my post window. I had to give up after staring at the ipad for a half hour and emailed the pictures to myself then grabbed the laptop. If anyone knows how to make pictures transfer from my ipad to my post window please HELP!

Here are some things that I received for Christmas. The first 3 pictures are a gift from my mother. It is just beautiful! Thanks Mom!

These next two pictures is a gift from Sara who was my secret santa (or vice versa??) I actually seen one of these done before I received this gift and almost drooled all over it. Thank you Sara! I promise I won't drool on it.

And if you haven't realized it yet, I am a teacher. The picture below is a gift from Sally which I greatly appreciate. It will be a keepsake for years and years... It has the date on which I started teaching and the place. Even though sometimes work is tough I always remember that teaching has been my dream and passion. This gift helps me remember that. Thank you very much Sally!
In the midst of taking these pictures as fast as lightning, silly me forgot to take pictures of what I'm working on. Until next time... or until someone leaves me a message on how to send pictures from my ipad to the post window.

Summer is almost here!

I have some updates!!! First off, it is starting to look and feel like summer! I'm so excited for my 2 months off!
On to stitching.... Here is Shephers's Bush, Here we go A Haunting. It is done. There were words that I are supposed to go at the top but I felt that it would be too crowded so I left them off. I'm still trying to decide what to make this into. I was thinking abaout a pillow with fabric around the edges, or maybe frame it? Any suggestions!??

I have also made some progress on the Lauren Sauer class piece. I am taking the class at Salty Yarns in Ocean City, Mayland in June. There is still more to do but it is coming along.

For the most part I'm focusing on my class piece. This is my last day of Spring Break so I'm off to enjoy the rest of this beautiful day! Have a great week!

Snow... March... Confused

First, I have to say, I woke up this mornng and it was snowing! We ended up with at least 2 inches, but then the sun came out and i all melted by 5 pm. I can't believe it! Last week it was in the 70's one day! Crazy...

On to the good stuff...I have some update pictures!!! The first picture is of my Lauren Sauer Class piece. I finially got my second layer of circles done! Yipee for me!

Also, Blu asked what my new flip-it pattern was going to look like :). Here is a picture of the wall hanging that is optional to buy and it fits the pattern. Then the first three booklets that have came out so far. The next picture is of what it will look like when it is done. :) I hope everyone has a great week. Back to reality tomorrow. :(

It's been a while... uhg!

It is March, almost April! Come on summer! I don't think I have ever said that until this year. I have always loved winter because I had a seasonal job waiting tables at my boyfriends restaurant. So I would work hard all summer and relax and go on vacation in the winter. Well now I teach and I have worked all winter, soooooooo come on SUMMER! It was in the high 70's on Friday! But it was a tease because it was only in the 50's today.

Anyway, I have been stitching, not a lot but some. First I have Shepherd's Bush, Here We Go A Haunting.

For some reason the picturer wouldn't load so I will post it next time.

Here is Lizzie Kate's Boo Club flip its. This design is from last year. But my goal is to finish it soon because I bought the new Lizzie Kate, Halloween Rules, Flip its.

Also, I am taking a class at Salty Yarns in June, Lauren Sauer. Here is what I have so far.Okay I'm off to stitch now hopefully I will be back soon. Come onnnnn Summerrrrrr!

Breaking my New Year's Resolution Already!

I stitched a little bit last week but I didn't stitch at all this weekend. I said my New Year's resolution was going to be able to have a life. Well that is what I did last week and it took me all Sunday and tonight, so far, to catch up. So now I am caught up and I will share some pictures. The first one is Shepherd's Bush, Here we Go A Haunting. The second one is Quaker Diamonds by Rosewood Manor.

The weather says that it is supposed to snow for only a little while tomorrow but mostly rain, but I don't see how it will rain with a high of 33 and the humidity makes it like 24 so we will see. Bring on the Snow!! I want a snow day!
