Need your help!

So, what is it I need your help with? I need help making a BIG decision! As you know I will be finishing "Howling at the Moon" very soon, possibly by this time next week you will have all seen the finished product! I am just filling in holes here and there! So it is very close to a finish!

But now I have to decide what I want to fill the hole in my rotation with (I use the term "rotation" lightly here!) I was thinking one of these 5. They are all in my stash, the first two are actually all kitted up and ready to go. So here they are!


#1- "In Blue"
#2- Day Surrendering to Night (Companion piece to In Blue)
#3- Gaze (You know how I LOVE wolves!)
#4- Home Tweet Home. A three piece set of birdhouses, which I have been thinking of lately as they are done in soft pastels which just screams "spring!" to me, so that is why I threw this one in.
#5- The Abby. This one is a WIP, I have about 4 or 5 more pages left to do on this one, it is also a Big Ole' 9-pager! HYou may remember it if you have read my blog for awhile.
OR! My 6th and last option......BUY something NEW! which I have my thoughts on that as well. There is a gorgeous piece by Kustom Krafts of orca whales and the northern lights that I have had my eye on for awhile that I may have to get. Even if I don't start it now, I may buy it anyway just as a reward for finishing "Howling"

So Please! Cast your votes in the comments! I can't wait to hear what your thoughts are on this!

SAL progress on CH4TH

This weekend was really busy so I wasn't sure I'd get much progress in on this, which is Coming home for the Holidays, my SAL project with Julie, but! I was able to get a few hours in on it!! So, it's coming along slowly but surely!!! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Been stitching Beary Much!

I have really been working alot on these little bears!! A finish is so close!! Gosh I think I will have two pretty large finishes here very soon! This one and Howling at the Moon are neck-n-neck in the race to happy dances!! At this rate I will be happy dancing for a week! LOL...I am completely finished with the x's on the little bear, just have to back stitch him, and then all I have left is to finish Papa bear and Wa-la! Watch this space!!!

This weekend will be very busy as we have the March of dimes walk Saturday Morning then our p90 work out (Which we are on day 4 of, and it's going GREAT!), then lunch and then making dinner for our friends who lost their son in a tragic accident last month, who will be returning to the island after being in the States for the burial and such for the past 40 days. And we will be going to the Airport to pick them up in the evening as well. And! This weekend is my SAL weekend on Coming Home for the Holidays with Julie. So, a BUSY weekend is glaring me in the face!! And then of course the following weekend is Easter and we also get to go view our family portraits that we had done on the 20th of March so another pretty busy weekend!!! Wow! But I will try to keep needle to fabbie and stitch as much as possible.

I think in my next post I will ask your opinion on a new purchase, as I would like to reward myself with some new stash for finishing Howling at the Moon, and also ask your opinion about what I should work on next! So lots of stuff coming up here! Thank you to everyone who stops by to say hello and those silent lurkers as well! I appreciate every hit I get and especially all the lovely comments!!!

Have a great weekend! Joyful stitching!!!

IIIIII'm Baaaaack!!!

Hello all! I am back and I have progress to share!!! Go figure, been gone 5 weeks and I have progress? Who knew? Eh, anyone as addicted to the needle as I am you all should know that even though I may not have the time to blog, I am still gonna find time to stitch! So here is my progress on Patchwork bears!
Ok so I was gonna crop it and make it pretty, but I forgot! OOOps! I have completely finished the border, and worked quite a bit on the bears! I definitely see a finish on this one soon! Much sooner than I'd originally anticipated! (Which was June 1st)

I also have a little progress to show on "Howling at the Moon", but it's not much since I spent most my stitching time on this one. So I will work on Howling a bit this weekend and show progress on Monday! I am setting a goal to finish Howling by May 1st! We shall see!! Thank you to my new followers! And I will see yah Monday...have a great weekend!
Gosh it feels great to be back!

(Scroll down about three posts to see my last photo of this one if you wanna see how much progress has actually been done! )

Just a quick hello!

So this evening I had some time so I dropped in on a bunch of blogs and left hellos in the comments!! I miss you all sooooo much! But! I AM enjoying my visit with my mom so much!! She has 2 more weeks left here! And then normal life will resume. I have actually been able to get a surprisingly good amount of stitching in while she's been here, as she loves spending time with the baby (of course! what proud grammy doesn't?!) giving me time to....stitch!!! I have actually just about finished the entire border around "Patchwork Bears" and worked some on the bears themselves! I had set myself a goal to have it finished by June 1st of this year, but I think I will be seeing a finish on it WAAAAAY before then!!! I will share photos soon, promise!!!

Thank you all again for your patience as I have not been around much! I will be sad for my mom to leave, but also I am anxious to return to the normalcy of life! See yah soon!
