Came home and DH was watching football....so boring So I decided to gather the magazines I had marked and started printing patterns..Lots of patterns! It was so much fun and a little overwhelming about how many things I want to stitch..can I please win the lottery????
Today..I spent another 4 hours grading my 9-11 math papers I am so behind in my grading. When I was really sick, I fell behind and just can't catch up. It is awful. I have parents emailing everyday asking when I am going to get my papers graded. I can't say what I want to say instead I say "I hope by this weekend."
Stitching day 29: Feather Tree - JCS Halloween Collection. 28 count monaco tea-dyed by me!
This is nothing like I normally stitch but it really caught my eye!
Day 30: Haunted Library - Mill Hill 18 count aida - hand dyed using Rit Denim blue by me!
I love Mill Hill kits but I really hate sorting the threads. I think they should have a column telling you how many skeins there are of each color. That would make it easier!

The Mill Hill looks amazing!!!
Oh my, grading those papers sounds like a lot of work. I am doing my phd right now and this also involves teaching, I am so happy that I only have to teach twice a week this year (and grade the final exam), during the last year (and the one before) I also had to correct and grade the students weekly homework and that took a lot of time every week (let alone one or two hours per week to enter their results into the computer system...). And after all, I enjoy teaching way more than reading a few hundred sheets of homework...
I really love the Mill hill one, their kits are so much fun! Right now I am stitching the I love Halloween design (soo pretty) ;-) Nearly have an entire set of DMC by now, so if I am unsure I match the threads to my bobbins. But when I sorted through the I love Halloween one and started stitching I got super confused, because it was supposed to have 3 shades of orange, but I only sorted out two :D But I found the "missing" shade after a while, two shades were just so similar!
nice starts! I agree about the Mill Hill kits. I'm fighting right now on Boo House with beige, brown, gold and dark beige.
Great starts I love the fabric you dyed! I'll probably dye some of my own this weekend :)
