The Red Headed step child of stitching projects!

As you can see, I have been diligently working on this Pain in the hiney project! I finished all the x's in the roof of the house and am about ready to start the backstitching! Alot of the blue on the right hand side of the house, next to the roof is what I had to frog out! By the time I was done, there was nothing there! I think I am about done with the pink flowers in the front of the house as well. When I look at it like this I am pleased at how far along it has come!

Thank you all for your lovely comments! And my new followers! I have been tagged by Terri and Jules....so gotta go see what I gotta do, and then I'll post a separate post about that! =) Thank you girls for thinking of me!!

This weekend I will be working on my SAL project with Jules, so...I will be posting that progress on Monday, or so! And we'll see what kind of progress this next month will turn out, since July is a pretty busy month for us!

Well we just got home from hubby's work 4th of July picnic and I'm hot and tired so off to grab a glass of Raspberry Iced Tea and my book!

Joyful stitching and a wonderful 4th of July to all my American readers!

Two projects in one post!! I am definitely behind!

Well, I have been having lazy days lately! I am still stitching but just not posting! BAD ME! I shall sit in the corner later!

But for right now I am going to share Coming Home for the Holidays, my SAL piece. I am still working mainly on the left hand side of the house.

I got so much stitching in now I have decided it's time to start some of the backstitch:
Can you see it?

Next up is Birdhouse #1. The last time I posted about this one, I was griping about it, and it's still not my favorite project, but we are at least on speaking terms again! See? I was trying to pin point the problem as to why I hated it so much....I got all the threads I need now, and I realized that it is because I didn't make a working copy of the pattern before I started, so sometimes I just feel lost!! And I end up spending so much time counting and recounting just to try to find my place! And it is hard, because so many of the colors (Especially in the roof) are almost identical! UGH! I WILL be making a working copy to highlight of the next house in the series!!
And last but not least...some cuteness to brighten up this post!
LOVE that smile!! Anyway, our weather has been horrid lately, we have a Typhoon on the way to hit late Monday. we'll see, the last one that was to hit last week veered off to the east and we didn't even get any of the affects at all.

Well that's about it in my corner of the world! Happy stitching!

Oh yeah, and I haven't even picked up The Abbey since I last posted about it! So This weekend I am hoping to get some work in on it! Well, providing I don't get blown away by the typhoon, I will post progress on it in my next post! I am almost finished with page 6 of it! I really wanted to finish p. 6 and start the next page by months end...we shall see!

Cozy Re-Tweet update!

Have you ever had a project you just loved at the beginning but a little ways in you lose the love? That has been this project for me! But I keep trying to stitch on it a bit every week! I think part of the problem is I didn't pull all the flosses I need when I started so I don't have them handy, so I need to do that so maybe I won't feel so "restricted"...plus I ran out of a color I need, and I don't know if it's in my stash or if I need to buy it....which chances are they won't have it in stock here....=(

So, while I still love the design, I am hating stitching this project....which makes me sad, because I really wanted to love this one! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Cozy Re-Tweet progress!

Wow, I have been calling this one every name but what it's REAL name is, But the title of this post is the CORRECT name for this project...Cozy Re-Tweet, NOT Sweet Re-Tweet, OR Home-Tweet Home....WHERE did I get those from?!?!?! ::shaking head::

So here is the last 2/2 1/2 weeks worth of work on this one, it is stitching up pretty quickly! I am enjoying working on this!

Well, this is a 4 day weekend, so not sure what we will do with 4 free days, but if the weather is nice, we may go to the beach, we'll see!

Hope you have a nice holiday (or non-holiday, if you're not in America) weekend!!

See yah all on Monday!

A new start! Sweet Retweet, #1

Here's about 2 weeks worth of work on the First Piece (Of 3). You can look here, to see what the finished piece will look like! It's a pretty spring like looking birdhouse! It's stitching up pretty quickly!! Thank you all for the lovely comments, on my Coming Home for the Holidays progress! I will be sharing Progress on "The Abbey" on Monday! I have finished page three (just this afternoon, infact!) and am now onto page 6! I am more than half way finished with that one! 5 of 9 pages are done! See yah all Monday! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
