What a day......

I am just so exhausted from work that at one point today I just wanted to sit done and cry.......it was non stop and although I know I did good it just didn't feel good.....it was too busy to just stop and enjoy the day and the good I was accomplishing!!! Does that make any sort of sense? I hope so......

Now on to stitching since that is what you came to see....... First up is my Toile Rooster © BOAF..slow progress but progress none the less This is a fun stitch and will probably make the journey to NY with me when I go at the end of the month.......

Next is a finish Stitching Fairy © PR! It came from her catalog which you get when you order directly from her! I just love her and really focused on her this past weekend with great results....she's done!!!! I have to try and remember the fabric but I am sure it is a PTPlus Crystal and the thread is a Thread Gatherer silk...... She is just so sweet! Oh and head over to PR website as the newest freebie is out for Fairy day! Which is the 24th of June!!!!! I will be celebrating!!!!!

And to the title of this post here is my new start Titania © Mirabilia. She has been patient these many years just languishing in my stash pile so she got started over Circle of Friends in reward for her patience. Now I mildly obsessed over the fabric if you can call it mild! I finally chose HLC Pixie Dust over PTPlus Crystal Glory....I was betwixt and between but I went with my gut and know I made the right choice! Thanks again to all who helped me out when I posted it over on Facebook! The Crystal Glory was the favorite but it just wasn't looking perfect to me and somehow Pixie Dust seemd perfect for Titania!!!!! Not the greatest of pics but I did snap it late last night...more to folllow!

Dh and I are going to NY for a dear friends wedding at the end of June!!!!!! I managed to get 8 days off and am totally thrilled even though it means missing the Eric Clapton/Steve Winwood concert that weekend.....but oh to see family is just what I need right now!!!! And we do have U2 tickets for October.......I am totally thrilled for that!!!!!!! It'll be my third and not my last for sure!!!!!!!

I am grateful for my stitching and the joy it brings me....

Keeping Farrah Fawcett in my thoughts and prayers daily....

May your needle fly through your fabric.........

The sun is out!

I finally got a new look to my blog! I have been wanting to get a new look for a while but was just a bit nervous about the whole process....but while on Shepherds Bush blog I found a great link which you can now find in the upper left hand corner of my blog which made the new look very easy!!!!! I can now change the look at will or maybe seasonally......

I am nearing the end of my days off...I decided to add on at work and not take my vacation days so as to save them for when I need them so I will be working 3 days in a row starting on thursday! I am actually looking forward to it...bizarre I know. I have been feeling rather mopey lately but last night I broke that feeling and stitched on Nora's Alphabet and here is the result... It is actually a bit bigger than I imagined but I am liking it on the fabric I choose which is a PTPlus 32ct Crystal Highland. I tweaked the photo a bit to show the truer colors. The letters are worked in an overdyed silk which I am enjoying! I am planning to work on the long forgotten Mirabilia that I recently pulled out of "the bag that shall not be named".... It is Angel Proclamation and only requires the beads and specialty threads...a silk...... So this is my goal to get it done since it is so close to being done...even the backstitching is done!!!!!!! Wish me luck!

I never did get to my LNS for the preview night or the days afterward. It was raining nonstop and since tomorrow is stitching group I can pick up "Quaker Gone Tropic" then... since it has been inhabiting my dreams of late.....I may have to start it as well.......Today the sun was out!!! The day was perfect!!!
