I have been busy!!!!

I have been stitching and just not finding the time to post! I have to get better at this! I was amazed that my last post was on the 7th.....

My Lady's Quaker is done and she is so pretty and with lots of attitude if I do say so myself!!!! I stitched her on 32ct Country French Latte and used Crescent Colors Cupid!!! Just one color I love monochromatic designs but I had 3 skeins which I thought was enough but even with being a miser with the thread I wa short and the dyelots at my LNS wer way too bright! Two friends even looked in their stash and had some but still too bright...is this post sounding like Goldilocks to anyone else....haha. I went to DMC 815 and it was a near perfect match!!! I used almost an entire skein and I don't believe you can tell where at al! big sigh of relief from me a a prayer to the thread gods was offered! I was truly very lucky!!!!! Here goes with pictures....

Don't you just adore the hands on the hips and her wonderfully bizarre hair!!! These quaker designs are so beautiful in their simplicity....I am quickly becoming addicted to them..In addition to Quaker Christmas which has a November 1st start I added Quaker virtues to my stash and have the silk thread on order.....just 17 skeins should complete it....Now to find a way to work it in....haha Thanks for looking She was stitched in about 3 weeks time more so because of the thread issue but really  I simply could not put her down.....The Gentleman is on the short list to start !!!!!

I also had another start and finish in just  3 days but as I'm not sure if the recipient reads my blog I will have to withhold on posting the finished pics! But I promise to post as soon as she receives it!!!

I am wiped from work today so I'm off to get a cup of tea and cuddling time with puppy......then maybe some stitching .....

Hope everyone is well and I have been reading just not commenting so I truly apologize and hope to comment soon! All of your works are beautiful!!!!!

I am grateful for stitching and the joy it brings an for the may friends I've made beacause of stitching.....

May your needle fly through your fabric....

Have you ever.............

I am somewhat rested from my stretch at work although I'm still napping daily. Aren't naps just wonderful?? As to my post title I got already for SP stitching group this wednesday and arrived and went to get my HAED out to stitch on and I had everthing but the chart symbols! I have never done that before but luckily I had something else to stitch on.......more on that soon. I had little choice but to start something new.....

Here is A Cinderella Sampler that I stitched on while in NY.... I am loving it so. And next is my HAED....The Tower at Stoney Wood........ For the last 2 days I've been at work on the black. Isn't it beautiful?? I'm doing it on 25ct Lugana over one and truly love it. Which I guess is good since this is only the beginning........I am working on pages 1 and 2 at the same time. It seems to keep the flow going.....

As to DH's plane arrival and puppy's trip to the airport....all went well. DH got in at 1:30 am and I got to bed at 3 am and yes much to my great surprise I went to work at 7am.....but that night I was in bed by 9pm and slept through to 8am missing my dental appointment. Puppy enjoyed all of the new smells at the airport but with all of the new smells she hardly noticed DH.......about halfway home in the car she finally acknowledged him!!!!!

I must add that I was nominated by Noreen for a blogging award!!! Thank you so much and here humbly nominate all of my readers and those that are in my google reader!!!!!! I hope that is alright since I am so behind on things and am trying to pare down my computer time to give me more stitching time!!!!!! I'm off to get a cup of tea and a bit of dinner.

I am grateful for days off and afternoon naps............
