Overdue update

Hi guys!

Lots of progress pictures to share today!

Rascal Raccoon had a couple more colors added to him the last day I stitched on him. 

On The Gift by Blackberry Lane I filled in the lamb a little more, I hope to finish the lamb the next day I stitch on it.

I added half a column to Pitbulls.  This is the only column on this page so I should have a page finish very soon on this.

On the February block for the Joyful World SAL I finished the rest of the border and I got started on the fun stuff on the inside.

And I had a new start!  Deepest Love by Mirabilia.  I am stitching this for a SAL over on the Google+ SAL Blog.

Here was my first days progress.

And this was my second day progress.  I am so in love with the colors in this!

And last but not least I finished another row on ABC's Of Parenting.  Just 3 rows to go!  I am thinking about making this my focus piece and stitching on it every other day just to get it finished.  

Tomorrow Brayden and I are going to a little get together with the seniors in the community and the 4H club to learn some embroidery.  I am way more excited to do this than Brayden!  I will try to take some pictures.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching! 

The absolutely no good terrible day!

Hello friends :(

Yesterday I received this in the mail.

And this is a close up of that sticker.  "Officially repaired"  ??!!??  They didn't even fill in the info so I could at least track down where it was damaged at!

That envelope was supposed to contain 2 pieces of fabric from Sunny Dyes.  2 absolutely gorgeous pieces of fabric.  The envelope was completely empty except for the packing slip.  I contacted Sunny Dyes to see if there was any insurance on the package and was told that shipping would have been $32 if they would have added insurance and that they are sorry and I have to file any claims through my post office and to let them know how I make out.  I then called my post office to see what all I needed to start a claim and they told me that the shipper has to start the claim process.  I have written back to Sunny Dyes to tell them that but have not gotten any response.  I have also been talking to Paypal as they have buyer protection and they seemed quite willing to help me if I need them.  I really don't want them to take the money from the seller as it really wasn't their fault.  While they could have better packaging then that flimsy cereal box cardboard I know it is the fault of the postal service.  I will let you all know how I make out.

And some good news I have a page finish on Pitbulls.  That makes 4 pages finished.

And I started on the Seventh Day on 12 Days of Christmas.

Thanks for listening to me rant.  

I hope the postal service where you are is more trustworthy.

Happy Stitching to you all!

Not much to go!

Hello!

Only about 250 more stitches and I will have this page done!  Wahoo!

We are having a snow day today!  It was pretty nasty here this morning but around lunch time the sun came out and it was lovely but it is now blowing again and pretty grey looking outside.  That is fine by me, I am quite cozy inside.

I hope you all are warm and cozy today!

Happy Stitching!

Productive Day

Hi!

I managed to finish a whole column yesterday on Pitbulls.  Only one more column to go and page 4 will be finished.  

I wish I could stitch like that everyday!

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Stitching!

Another row on Pitbulls

Hello!  

My stitching has been a little lacking lately with Christmas preparations and then I pulled a muscle in my neck one week, then next week I started getting migraines from the pulled muscle.  So a trip to the doctor fixed me all up and I am finally starting to feel like myself again so I spent all day yesterday finishing up this row on Pitbulls.  2 more rows to go and I will have a page finish, but first I am going to stitch another day on 12 Days of Christmas because I would like to have that done for next Christmas since I am now late for this past Christmas :) 

Happy Stitching!

Five Golden Ringgggsssss.

Hiya!

Please tell me you all sang the title just like I do every time I say it!!  

I finished up the fifth day today, I really enjoyed all the gold in this block which you pretty much can't see in this picture but it is there, I promise.

I also finished a row on Pitbulls.  I am about 99.9% sure my nephew will never find my blog, nor ever want to I am sure, so I will say this.  This is my least favorite project.  The chart is horrid!!  So many symbols look the exact same and that white dog used 12 different shades of white!  Even in real life you can't tell the difference between at least 8 of them.  But it does look quite nice and this is what he chose so I will suck it up and get it done.  But he better love it!!!  I'm just kidding but he at least better like it a lot! :)

Thanks for visiting with me!

Happy stitching!!

Pitbulls

Hello stitchers!

I am working on Pitbulls by Flumpkins X Stitch.  Here is where I am at

We had our stitching guild Christmas party last night and it was so much fun, great food, great company, lots of laughs.  I couldn't have chosen a better group of people!  It is going to be hard waiting until January for our Tuesday night stitching to start up again!

I hope you all are having a lovely Wednesday!

Happy stitching!
