May be quiet for a little while

I am not getting much stitching done right now. I fell on the ice on Sunday and I broke my leg. I need to go get surgery on Thursday to pin it back together. I haven't done much stitching but hopefully will get back to it as soon as possible...I miss stitching..

A Little more Mystery

BBD mystery sampler that is...I love this saying and very much fits me, since I can't seem to unwind my day until I stitch a little.
Also in response to questions I have been receiving, here are the charts which contain the first 4 parts of this mystery.
Loose Feathers 31 - Blessings and Kind Wishes
Loose Feathers 32 - Beyond my Heart
Loose Feathers 33 - Keepsake box and Pinkeep

Have fun!

A Little Inspiration and some floss tosses

I worked on my Rosewood Manor Inspiration SAl with Vonna yesterday. I got a little more accomplished. Then I also did a floss toss for Isabelle Vautier's Grand Marquoir and Quaker Virtures. Here they are:
Quaker Virtures will be on 40ct Antique white over 2 with Carries Creation Fantasm.
The Grand Marquoir will be on the same fabric over 2 with Carries Creation Epiphany silk.

BBD and a Start

I started just a very little bit on Village of Hawk Run Hollow this weekend and last night started on part 4 of the BBD Mystery. I can't wait to see what part 5 is like. Today is my Inspiration SAL, so I am putting it up on the lap frame now and getting it ready to go :)...

BBD Mystery Part 4

Some Weekend Stitching

I learned to use my new lapframe this weekend. It was like relearning to stitch but it certainly is helping the arm and elbow. I think I will love it once I get used to it.

I got the third part of the BBD Mystery Sampler done this weekend. I am really excited to start the 4th.

I also got some more stitching done on my HAED Dark Cherry SAL, I really love the colors.

Hmm, I am thinking about starting a new one today.

HAED SAL Day

and I am ready. Back to work on Dark Cherry by Kuik. Here is where I am starting today. With it being a balmy -17 outside right now, I don't plan on going anywhere this evening, so I should be able to get some stitching done :)..

BBD Mystery Sampler

A little (and I mean very little) progress on the BBD Mystery Sampler. I had hoped for more, but got sidetracked. Here is where I am now, I vow to get part 3 finished today, if anyway possible.

Inspiration SAL

Well, I did manage to get some stitching done last night. I finished the second page of Rosewood Manor's Inspiration, only 28 more to go, LOL..I love the way this one is coming out. The fabric is a limited edition fabric from Silkweaver called Tawny Sparkle, it is a 32ct belfast linen.
I need to get the third part of BBD Mystery Sampler finished tonight :)..

Rosewood Manor Inspiration SAL and New Toy

Today is my Rosewood Manor Inspiration SAl day with my favorite Twisted Stitcher. So I pulled it out of my dusty WIP pile and here we go. I am starting about halfway through page 2. I'll post progress tomorrow.

Then it I got a new toy this week. It is a Doodler 4 square lap frame. I hate to admit it but I am starting to get some arthritis in my hands and arms and right now have tennis elbow. it get harder for this old lady to hold the fabric in hand some days. So I am hoping this will help. I need to get some eztape and then I'll be ready to go :)..

Everyone have a great day..

HAED SAL and a lost wip found

Well I didn't get as much stitching as I would have liked this weekend since first the power was out from 6am till 5pm on Saturday and then on Sunday I managed to pick up a stomach flu, bummer. But I did get some done on our HAED sal with Dark Cherry.


Then as I was going through my stash I found my Egypt Garden which I had put to one side because (yes I am absentminded) I had misplaced the fibers. Well I found both, so I have put them in my WIPs to work on this year :)...Here is where I am so far..

I am working on an exchange this week along with my Inspiration and HAED SALS. Plus I got Donna's RR the other day to work on too in the coming month :)..

Slow but sure a Little More Stitching

I finally got through the house on BBD Mystery Sampler, it seemed to take forever.

Yesterday we got the first page of the HAED SAL and I managed to get around 200 stitches done, YAYAY..I love the colors. I will work on it this weekend, then next week I need to finish up my ASOE winter ornament.

Since I seem to be suffering from a Serious

case of stitcher insanity, I have joined in a couple more sals of biggies so I need to adjust my year plans, LOL>

1. The HAED SAL of Black Cherry, to complete in one year (1 over 1 cross on 28)
2. Complete the BBD Mystery Sampler. Then start another BBD and so on as I finish one.
3. Get 3 pages done of HAED Dragon Charmer by Josephine Wall
4. Completed Enchanted Lair DragonWing
5. Get 3 pages (1/2 of each is my share) of Barbers Sisters (Vicki and I are doing this one together).
6. Complete Legend of Sleepy Hollow trio this year.
7. Finish the Kiss by Mirabilia as Phantom piece.
8. Make some real headway on Rosewoods Inspiration.
9. Start on Sal for Quaker Virtues.
10. Start with SAL for mystere du Grand Marquoir
11. Make a Voodoo Girl to go with the boy :)..
12. Home of a Needleworker too by LHN
13. Start Village of Hawk Run Hollow

Well now my insanity is written down, LOL..

Weekend Stitching

I did manage to get some accomplished this busy weekend. Being the Griswolds of our street means a lot of after Christmas cleanup so I didn't get as much as I wanted to in the way of stitching done, LOL..

Here is the BBD Mystery as of today, I absolutely love this one :)..

and then I got a little more done on HAED Dragon Charmer. This Friday the first part of the HAED SAL 2009 comes out, so I will be starting on Dark Cherry this weekend. I have the fabric all gridded and all the colors ready, so I am ready to start her (hmmm, wonder if I will ever finish an HAED, lol).

New Years Stitching

Okay, so I started something New on the New Year with HAED Dragon Charmer, I got a little over 200 stitches into it, I know, not much, but a start. Here it is so far, just a blob.

Then I worked some more on BBD Mystery Sampler, I am hoping to get as close to the third part done as possible this weekend, and maybe start the 4th.

2009 - Stitching for a New Year

Well I have tried to think and think about what I want to accomplish this year. I know that this year I really want to do a lot more stitching for me. I have several things I plan to put as goals for this year.

1. The HAED SAL of Black Cherry, to complete in one year (1 over 1 cross on 28)
2. Complete the BBD Mystery Sampler
3. Get 3 pages done of HAED Dragon Charmer by Josephine Wall
4. Completed Enchanted Lair DragonWing
5. Get 3 pages (1/2 of each is my share) of Barbers Sisters (Vicki and I are doing this one together).
6. Complete Legend of Sleepy Hollow trio this year.
7. Finish the Kiss by Mirabilia as Phantom piece.
8. Make some real headway on Rosewoods Inspiration.
9. And pick up a few WIP and put some stitches into them :).

I don't think that is too impossible. I have two exchanges I will definitely keep going with the All season ornament and F&S. I have a RR I am 1/2 way thru, Witching for Stitching a Halloween themed RR. So this is what I am thinking for the new year, now I need to figure out how to get myself organized to accomplish it :)..

Happy New Year Everyone :)..
