Lots of stitching ......

It's been a whole week which is not what I planned at all!!!! I've been busy with my mom but still taking days and resting even though it's made her unhappy. We've been doing the movies and saw one show but my energy level takes a full day to recuperate. So I rest and stitch!!!!!! Here is my progress on Feather... I'm onto the bottom half of her. I still have the metallic to do and the beads. I really want to switch out the Kreinik for Rainbow Gallery so I will do that on wednesday at stitching group. I found a comparison chart but one of the Kreiniks is not listed so I'll do it visually with help. I missed stitching group last wednesday but was just too tired and instead I stayed home and stitched!!!

Next is another new start....Halloween Fairy on 32ct Crystal Midas from PTPlus . The new Mirabilia Stitchers board is having a contest from 1/31 to April ?. So I took that as an opportunity to have a new start. I know it doesn't take much for me to start a new project....... Here she is... So sorry the pics are not the best but I snapped them quickly for this post. She really is stitching up fast and I'm loving her!

On another note the World of Passione Ricamo board has moved to a new home! I've become a moderator there as well of the Fairy forum and the Princess forum so come and visit! It's a great board with lots of great people as is the new Mirabilia Stitchers board.

I'm off to a cup of coffee and breakfast and a day of stitching!!!!!

I am grateful for lazy days of stitching.....

PS... I started this post last night but finished it this afternoon.....thanks for visiting!!!!

Feather Fairy and much much more....

First let me say Congratulations to the N.Y. Giants and Eli Manning for an unbelieveably exciting game!!!! They played so hard and so well!!!! I am completely thrilled for them!!!! And my hubby is over the moon about the upset!!!! He was on his feet for most of the game!!!!!!

Let's see where do I begin..... next is a completed picture of the framed Bless birth sampler its a neon green metallic frame and I think it's perfect!!!! My cousin said she wasn't into the traditional pinks and blues and I do believe she'lll love it!!!!!

Next is a WIP that I picked up again.... Feather Fairy by Mirabilia. Here is the picture from the chart
And here is my progress picture before I picked it up again last wednesday.....

I have another progress picture of my "C" and it really is working up quickly.......

I do have a confession to make I am the least organized person when it comes to my ever growing stash but unfortunately I don't have any pictures to illustrate my point. But I did sit down one afternoon last week as I was looking for some DMC thread and finally got aggravated enough to organize! I will also admit I've had these baskets for about 6-8 months or so...... Here is how it looks now... quite a bit better!!!! And I still have a bin in the closet to go through.....wish me luck with that. I am planning on doing that bin sometime this week....

I have cleaned up my sidebar as well so if you don't see your blog listed be assured it's in my google reader....And I've added a poll for my first HAED QS to start so please vote if you'd like! Unfortunately they didn't let me list the pictures as I wanted too.

I hope to have a picture of my framed Christmas Elf Fairy this week as well. My framer has been waiting for the specially ordered frame since before Christmas. I do plan on keeping her up year round. I just really want her home!

Let me close with a picture of my furbaby Storm... Who is missing her uncle and can't wait for his visit in a couple of weeks!!!! Oh and if I'm scarce it's simply because my mother is here and I'm not getting as much time as usual on the computer. But Storm is enjoying the added attention and occasional treat..... As a matter of fact I had been planning this post as my finish to January posting and you see it's now February's first post...best laid plans and all....

I am grateful for the N. Y. Giants win today!!!!!!!!!

Finally...

I am happy to report that we picked up my car today!!! Only about 6 weeks later and it's perfect. The insurance was still dragging their heels but hubby dealt with the situation and Harry (my car's name) is sitting in his spot in our garage!!!!

I had a wonderful visit with my brother and niece.....2 shows, Red Rock and lots of pool lounging and playing!!!! I have to say that the Cirque show we saw KA was good not great although the stage was phenomenal at times it was vertical and they were performing on it!!! My only issue and it's mine is that it's like work figuring out the storyline...and out of the 4 of us ...I got it. Dinner at Wolgang Puck's was outstanding****. I miss them so much but we manage to keep in touch!!

I have been stitching just haven't updated the photos lately... I am hearing a UFO/WIP calling to me and it's not Sleeping Beauty as I had thought it was but Petal Fairy! So as soon as I have a free scroll rod or maybe not she is coming out!!!! I am also thinking of doing a HAED or Mystic Stitch design!!! I may be ready.....what is your opinion?? Tomorrow is stitching group at SP so I'm bringing the patterns and will ask the sage advice of the ladies!!! Oh and tomorrow night also is the start of our bowling league!!! So it'll be a busy fun day!!! Oh Storm (puppy) and I had a great walk around the neighborhood tonight after Pilates....I love watching her and seeing what she find to be interesting or smell worthy! I finally mastered another Pilates move called "long spine short spine" that felt good! Off to stitch and a big cup of Earl Grey.........

I am grateful for hubby and how he cares for me..........
Edited to correct...It was not Petal fairy calling to me but Feather Fairy!!! And she is in my sidebar....
