A quick post

Just a quick post between vacuuming (yes I still love my Dyson © Animal) and paying some bills...to show you the photobooth picture of Dh and me at the wedding in NY!!!!!
Oh and I forgot myown blogaversary......it's been 3 years and I have made such wonderful friends through blogging!!! Thank you all for your comments and well wishes and visits!!!!!!

I am grateful for quiet days and coffee....

Farrah Fawcett an angel too soon....

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

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.........

CdC update and What's this???

I just felt like posting today! I am feeling much better and worked the last 2 days. I have just today off and will work the next 2 days. Then to New York next week!!!!!! The migraine finally left after 5 days and it's amazing not to have head pain or the fogginess that always always follows. Thanks for all of your well wishes! I truly believe they helped me to feel better!

I have a CdC update to share ....it feels like this page is just working up reallly fast! And then I only have 2 pages left!!! I am enjoying this project more and more everyday! I am thrilled it called my name a few weeks ago and I listened!!!!!! Here is CdC The fabric is actually much lighter IRL . It's Silvery moon 32 ct linen!

I was on the Mirabilia Stitchers the other day and someone kindly posted about a new design by Nora Corbett!!!!! It is coming in the Sept 2008 issue of Cross Stitch and Needlework magazine. Here is the Trick or Treat Fairy She is a beauty and I've already placed my order for the magazine at SP!!!!! I love Halloween and pumpkins and that time of year the most!!!!!! I even got married the friday before Halloween 3 years ago!!!!! It wasn't a theme wedding but my table centerpieces were pumpkins with flowers. The pumpkins were the actual vases!!!!!! I have always loved pumpkins!!!!! I am rambling so let me get back to stitching and laundry!

I am grateful for Nora and her wonderful designs.....

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......

Here I am...

Thanks for all the wonderful comments! I so love reading them all!!! I can't believe it's been over a week since I last posted! I have been here and it has slowed down just a bit and I have been stitching and beading like crazy. I have another finish and today with any luck will have another!!!! I will post pictures soon....I want to post them together. And I just discover Nymo thread for beading and I can't say enough good things about it! I was beading like never before! And enjoying it!!!

My MIL is in town for 3 weeks from N.Y. So we are on the go but also doing stuff at home and around the pool! And even with her here I have been stitching and beading...she is encouraging me like crazy! I do adore her! We are having fun! We saw The Producers last night and it was so good! And plan to see Mamma Mia this weekend!!! And I finally have my wedding album after 16 months! It is so beautiful and brought back wonderful memories of that day! I plan on trying to take pictures of the pictures and post them so stay tuned. There is one that I want to frame....it's my absolute favorite!!!

I may even have a handle on my migraines!!!! I always said they were menstrual in nature...and my gyn has a possible solution! Which makes me happy so I can get off of some of the strong daily meds I take. It a very low level estrogen patch that I put on right before my period and change every 3 days till after. She thinks I am reacting to drops in my estrogen levels. I have been tracking my migraines and they are most often around my monthly making them "menstrual migraines" something I always said. And I see my neurologist next week as well. I honestly don't think the daily med I take is working anymore. So I am hopeful!

I am grateful for more stitching time.....
