Year of starts week 8 and a finish!!!!

Hi Everyone!! I truly hope you had a great stitchy week.  I was able to do all my starts and even have a small finish!!!!   Things here have been busy as usual.  I am halfway finished with my college class and so ready for spring break!!!   Next week, we are going to dining in the dark again!!!  A local restaurant has a nigh where they dim the lights, place a blindfold on you and you enjoy a 4 course dinner!!  It is so much fun!  They do tell you where things are located when they bring the plate.  You can also take off your blindfold if it freaks you out!!!  

Did I tell you that Tiger Lily has started going out the doggie door?  She loves being outside and it is driving me nuts!

This week I have to start homebound services for a student who just can't make it in school. So I get to meet with them for hours a week at the local public library to work on all their studies.  It is extra money but it makes my days really, really long!!!!  

On to Stitching:
Check out Faery Tales!!  I just have about 2000 stitches before I am finished with page 23!!!




Look at my little finish!  it is a Mill Hill penguin!  Isn't he just the cutest???  I didn't do such a great job cutting him out but I like him!!


New starts:

Gorgeous stitching, I am envious of all your new starts - so many lovely ones, my dear. I loved the idea of dining in the dark - how curious!

Oh my, Vickie, such a lot of gorgeous stitching - and wonderful new starts. I'm looking forward to seeing the Paula Vaughan piece growing. I still haven't started mine, but soon I will.

Great stitching progress yet again! You are doing amazing on this challenge!

As far as a restaurant with blindfolds...I think that might be my worst nightmare!

Think of all the stash you can buy with all the tutor money!
