Put on your dancin' shoes, I'm doin' the cha-cha!


So...in my earlier post I said I had a goal of finishing my Easter Bell pull by Friday...Well, I made it WAY before then, as I just put in the final stitches two minutes ago! Told yah it wouldn't take long at all, and it only took about 3 hours. HOW come it took so long to do 3 hours worth of work?! I had everything else finished on this piece, right before Easter, months ago, all it would have taken was 3 hours, and I could have had it done MONTHS ago! Anyway, I will not spoil the moment by berating myself for taking so long to finish,as my parents always told me about my college education- it doesn't matter how long it takes you to finish it matters that you finished, and so without further ado...here is Easter bell pull. However! I don't think it will suffice as a bell pull, I am going to frame it as a regular wall hanging, I think, the lil' bunny there off to the side kinda throws off the whole bell pull idea, but I thought it needed a little something extra as we all know the castraphe that caused me to have to put the little bear/rabbit on the side. For those of you new to this blog and don't know, I will admit...I cut the fabric too short! But, oh well, I like it the way it is. Now onto what I hope will be my next happy dance very soon, Love Joy Home.

A progress picture,maybe a finish...


This actually may be the end, but I am not sure. I did start putting the Easter bunny in under the word Easter, but realized, it really wasn't going to fit, so now I have a somewhat dull "Happy Easter" sign. I still need to finish backstitching the little flowers around the letters, and I am playing with the idea of stitching the bunny in on the side, I have enough fabric along side the word to do so, but then again with the way I count, who knows? =P and then thinking about putting some flowers and hearts along side the other side of the word Easter. Easter will be here in a Week,and I know it won't get finished, but it was still a cute little project to work on. So, until I figure out what to do with this, I am going to work on mom's Nov. Quilt. Any suggestions?

Photos, finally!



Yay! I did it! I got a picture to upload, so this is the second piece I did for my mom at the beginning of last year that she had bought the kits for and I did for her. She loved both these pieces, the God Bless America one and this one.

Blogger has been acting so weird lately. The other night, Monday, I tired to post the previous post, but it kept saying 0% files uploaded whenever I would hit the publish post button. So, I didn't figure it had gone through, and yesterday when I logged on I didn't see the post and here it is now.

Well, I haven't posted for a few days, because I have been busy. I now have cable, as I wrote about in a previous post, and I have "Fit T.V" I LOVE IT!!! I have decided to work out three hours a day! Right now though I am trying to get into the groove, goodness my muscles are killing me! So,this morning I did one workout for an hour, and that is all I can hack. I'm afraid if I keep pushing myself that I will end up injuring myself, and that wouldn't be too good, at all. but I can already tell there's a difference in my energy level. yesterday I felt high as a kite! I have always loved working out, but I hate running, (I mean who wants to run in a circle, or around the block? some people don't mind it, but I can't stay motivated if it isn't something I enjoy doing.) So, I have tried to do aerobic workouts on my own, as I had taken aerobics in the past and remembered some of the moves and exercises, but I got bored without trying to follow someone, it is hard to have your own routine and stick to it. so, now I can go turn on Fit T.V and get any sort of work out during the day, there is one I really like that has dance moves as aerobic workout, and there's a step aerobic class, and everyday they change it up, one day they may work on weights and muscle training and then the other do a hard core aerobic work out. It is so nice! I am wondering if 3 hours a day is a bit much though? It probably is. 1 hour should suffice, but two would be better. I would be working out right now, except that I am so sore from working out so much the past two days. I did one hour already, so I guess I'm good to go.

Also there is the fact that I haven't been stitching much either. I worked on Patchwork Bears last night for a bit. But in reality I really have not been much in a stitching mood, even though while watching my afternoon shows(E.R. and Judging Amy) I have been trying to work on "Easter". So, lets see if blogger will be nice and allow me to post a picture of that...

I'm impressed! It did it! It is starting to get too long for the scanner, so you can see the little bit of gray at the very bottom is the start of the Easter Bunny. I counted it out and I am pretty sure it should all fit...JUST BARELY but I should get it all in. I have more than what is shown here, but just a little bit.

Oh! I still also need to write about my stash inhancement! As I told you all a few weeks ago,t hat my bonus check would be coming in, and I wanted to spend a good chunk on stash, well, last sunday DH took me to Micheals and I spent my good chunk!
