Is it Friday Yet?

A little more progress on We Will Adore Him. I really do enjoy this one...the colors, and since it's 28 ct. it is much easier on the eyes.

Yesterday at work we had our annual fire drill. I work on the 18th floor and had to walk down the stairs and exit the building. Of course, yesterday was a cold and windy day, and was not very fun to be standing around outside for very long, especially at 9 a.m! Today I'm feeling it in my legs. That always happens and I'll be sore a day or so. But, at least we didn't have to walk back upstairs! I always take the stairs when moving around several floors, but I'm definitely not used to 18 at a time!

Is it Friday yet?? Sure seems like it should be. Even though it's only Wednesday, it has felt like an unusually long week. I'm looking forward to the weekend!

Thanks to all of you that stop by and leave nice comments.

My Garden...Part 2

Here's part 2 and I am loving it so far! I still haven't decided on what color to use for the beads. Any suggestions? My colors: DMC 729, 3778, 355, 926, 3053, and 3051.

New Chart and a Little Stitching

It's been 2 weeks since my last post! I don't know what happened to me. I usually get an hour or two for stitching most evenings. But lately, after only a short time, I fall asleep with needle in hand. I've just been real tired, and staying up even later than normal isn't helping the situation. I'm trying to do better!

I ordered Where My Heart Blooms from Heartland Needleworks in Oklahoma City on Thursday, and I got it yesterday. I want to get all of the 2008 Loose Feathers patterns in order to stitch the mystery sampler at the end of the year.

Here is a picture of We Will Adore Him. It doesn't look like much, but it's a start.

11 more to go!

Starry Santa
Homespun Elegance
2003 JCS Ornaments Issue

One finished and 11 more to go! My goal is to make at least 12 ornies this year.

The Silver Needle and The Stitchworks had their Super Bowl Sales yesterday. Becky was planning to be at both stores with 2 of her friends. I planned to go also, and decided to be there at the same time they were, so that we could meet! After shopping both sales, we all went to lunch and talked for a long time! It was so good to meet a stitching blog friend in person!

I got a piece of 28 ct. Light Mocha linen and some fibers to begin We Will Adore Him by Homespun Elegance. I have loved this one since first seeing it in 2003.
