The turtle wins the race! :)

I have update pictures. Here is my Lauren Sauer class piece and By the Bay, Winter Cove.
I have made some progress. But I just wish my pictures would come out as beautiful as all these other blogs that I visit. Their pictures are just so clean, crisp, and seem to show colors the way they are supposed to be. Ahhh...maybe one day. Off to watch our DVR'd American Idol.

Can't wait til June!

In June I am taking a class by Lauren Sauer at Salty Yarns. I am very excited because this is the first time I have taken one of her classes. Last year I just fell in love with the class piece so ever since last June I have known I wanted to take this year's class. Here is my progress on the class piece.
It is absolutely beautiful. The picture isn't very good. I tried to take it in the sunlight but it gave it a blue tint. Maybe next time the color will come out better. The only thing is, is that I am not used to stitching with interfacing on the back of the fabric so it is taking me a little longer then I thought it would. Now I just can't wait until June to see it complete. But I have plenty more stitching to do on it so I will be back with more progress.

As for By the Bay, Winter Cove. I have made some more progress but want to work on it a little more before I show another picture. I hope everyone's week has had a great start. I know that I am suffering from a really bad cold but I think it might be from working in an elementary school for the last couple of weeks, or maybe the drastic weather change, who knows?
Tata,

Newbies...

I promised I would show my new things that I have bought but I forgot... until now. For me to only be 23 Im really forgetful. and a hypercondriac, maybe I have a tumor. lol. Moving on... Last weekend I bought ANOTHER Shepherd's Bush pattern. Not that anything is wrong with that except that I cant seem to get away from them. I keep buying more and I already have like ten in my to do pile. So this is Shepherd's Bush, Scatter Luck with all the threads and buttons.
I also bought the new Little House Needleworks pattern called "Needle and thread". I absolutly LOVE LOVE LOVE this pattern. and I especially love the bed pillow!! This pattern may have to be next. It is moving to the front of the to do pile.I also have made some more progress on Winter Cove by By the Bay. It is coming along. Only about 4 more snowflakes and a moon left.I hope everyone's week is going well. I don't know about everyone out there but I know that I will be happy to see the weekend!

I now pronounce....

Shepherds Bush, O Beautiful!
This piece is so beautiful. It is my pride and joy.
Lately I have been "slacking" on blogging. I have ben really busy. I have gone back to work at night and during the day I have to do hours at the local elementary school for my last class. Yes I said it, My LAST class! I get my Bachelors degree in K-6 this May!
Anyway...I have made a little more progress on By the Bay Needleart, Winter Cove. I plan on working on this a little tonight along with a class piece.
I also went to Salty Yarns today and bought lots of goodies that Sally and Sara brought from Nashville. My next post will be of what I bought. Tata for now!

New Start

Shwooo... I have had a long couple of days. This past weekend I went back to work, waiting tables. I love waiting tables but I feel like I have ran a hundred miles. Ive been off for over a month and running around all weekend just wore me out! Anyway... I think I have recovered and am back to bloggy land.
I started a new project a couple days ago. It is "Winter Cove" by By The Bay Needleart. I wish these pictures could show how much the colors just pop off of the fabric. I absolutly love this pattern and it is fun to stitch.I also got a call today saying that Shepherd's Bush, O beautiful is done being framed along with two prints that I bought from Micheals, that I am going to put in my living room. The framers is about an hour away so I might not get up there til this weekend. :(
I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!

I love snow and it is supposed to start snowing AGAIN tomorrow!! I know I cant believe it. We have broke records this year!I have some progress on my Jane Timmers class piece but i am almost done so I am going to finish it and then post the pictures. Wish us luck tomorrow it is supposed to snow all day. Im so excited!
