stitching update

I was going to update my stitching last night but DH took me to dinner and a movie. Our friend Whiteny came with us. We had planned to do this on Sat. but she became sick and we had to postpone. Her DH is on a business trip to China. We went to Olive Garden for dinner and then we went to seee the movie Marley and Me. I cried like a baby throughout that whole movie. I didn't see the dog as Marley, I pictured him as my lab Brigen. Brigen looks just like Marley and it made the movie worse than what it could have been. I also cried and cried when I read the book. Mark just laughs at me. However, he has gotten used to my crying in public.

Stitching update:

I finally finished my Indians!! I have been working on them for a while. The reason it took so long is that I only work on them in traffic. That may sound funny to you, but on my way to work every morning I have to sit in traffic. While I am just sitting there I add a few stitches here and a few stitches there. The drive through is a great place to stitch. This was a fun fiber project that I did in a class with Mary from Ozark Samplers. Now I need to stitch the pilgrims that go along with my indians. That won't be for a while though.

This is my HAED- A Wintery Heirloom piece. Kim and I are working on this together. We decided to stitch on it for 3 hours a week. Don't laugh, but I am already behind in my hours...only by 20 minutes though..so next Friday I will make it up. I found out that Cindy and Shari are working on their HAED projects on Friday so I thought I would work on mine then too. You are looking at about 500 stitches. Not many but more than what I had last week!!

I started my Patchwork Sampler by http://www.catiacrafts.com/SAL.html I am stitching the borders and smaller designs with dmc but when I get to the middle is where I will be switching up the pattern. I am going to be using the limited edition fibers from Ozark Sampler. I am stitching it on 25 ct. over 1. I am only using 1 thread also. I tried it with too but it is way to bulky for my tastes.
