Promises and stash

I have kept my promise to post today!!!! I did get a full blown migraine yesterday but took my Relpax and it was on it's way out all that was left was the tingling in my neck which is a sure sign of its demise!!!! I took it easy today having breakfast outside and stitching a bit in the afternoon. Then it was off to Pilates Mat class. I do like it but I'm still adjusting since it doesn't involve equipment like the reformer or chair but is all you!!!! I am a bit sore but it feels good. Then after walk around the neighborhood with my puppy the evening is mine since DH is at work. So now that I've filled you in on my day on to pictures!!!

First the stash as promised..... . This appealed to me since reading Jane Austen! I am so liking LHN all of a sudden!!! And another HAED... I have no intention of starting this one anytime soon but it so reminded me of the Elves in Lord of The Rings that I couldn't resist especially during this weeks sale on charts. I read LOTR about nine yes nine times and loved it more with each read.....It reminds me of the scene where the elves are leaving MiddleEarth......And lastly my first Chatelaine.... I simply fell in love with the colors and have no intention of starting this one yet either but I will have it when the mood strikes......Someone at SP yesterday said "did you see all the beads on it?" I just thought it was too beautiful to care about the enormous amount of beads.....

And my new start as of tonight..... It is PR's Fairy Celebration 3. I had the fabric in my stash it's PTPlus 32ct Kermit!!!! And the thread is from Threadworks a really pretty overdyed purple. And since Fairy day is June 24th it seems appropriate to start! Now to get fairy celebration 2 done as well. If you may recall I did Fairy Celebration 1 twice.......

I was thinking of stopping my FOTM from Silkweavers but then I got this beautiful piece and think maybe not just yet.... It Poltergeist 32ct Lugana... the color is a soft pale purple and oh so luscious!!!!

I am grateful for quiet days off and stitching.....

Where oh where.....

I have no idea why I haven't posted except to say that I have been stitching! I feel better the migraines have been minimal although I have one now but I will not let it win. I will nap after posting this. I hope all is well with everyone and want to start by saying Thank You for all of the lovely comments that I have received!!! I so appreciate them!!!!!!!

I did start The Tower of Stoney Wood!!! And I am loving it!!!!! And Fairy moon is coming along. I picked up Cirque on friday when a friend was over and have been focusing on it. I told you I was stitching a lot! I have 2 friends that I work with and they happen to stitch as well so we do impromptu get togethers. And I am happy to say they have both joined the wednesday stitching group at SP!!!!! Speaking of SP they are having their 5th anniversary with a month long celebration!!! Each week is a new sale during June. This week was charts!!!! I got another HAED that I have been eyeing for a while. I also got my first Chatelaine.......aren't you happy Deb !!! Along with one other one by LHN!!!!! I will post pictures most likely tomorrow.....

We have a group of us within the stitching group that are reading Jane Austen as a read along and we had our first luncheon yesterday!!!! We had such fun!!!! On another note I watched Capote with Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote all I can say is wow!!! I loved every minute and PSH was spectacular! I went out and bought a copy of In Cold Blood...I have never read it and am looking forward to starting it maybe tonight! Not a light read but I've been meaning to read it since last summer so here goes......

And for anyone who hasn't seen the new Nora Corbett Fairy Letters ...Here they are .....A, B, and C.....I had planned to do Mdesigns Celtic letters for my nieces and SIL as a belated thank you gift for sharing my wedding day as bridesmaids and best woman but now I plan to do these!!!!! I have the C on order and of course the J for myself when it comes out!!! Thank you again Nora for such lovely patterns to cross stitch.

I am grateful for my love of counted cross stitch......
