Tonight was my Friday SAT with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sister's Yahoo group. So I stitched a few more squares on HAED SK Sunny. Love this piece. There is 3 pages to this design and I am only on page one.

I also watched quite a bit of TV.

I will stitch some more on this tomorrow and Toy Story 3 is coming from Netflix so I hope to watch that tomorrow.

Today I plan on shopping with Scott for some craft organizers. I know 2 things that I am getting. Then once in place I will take pics.

I finished One Eyed Jack. This was part of the SAT with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters yahoo group.

Work was crazy yesterday and never made it online when I got home. Last week I had promised Dylan's ex, Shelbi, that we would go out for a fish fry. Turned out Scott finally had a Friday night off from OT. So we all went to Alex' s Place, in Batavia. Really good food.
Came home and I watched TV : Medium and General Hospital, while finishing this piece. Then pulled out my next pumpkin challenge chart. I will start it today.
Went to the Farmer's Market today and am hoping to go to Joanne's Etc for a rollaway storage unit, for all my cotton fabrics. Then grocery shopping.
Stitching tonight on a new start.

Friday SAT

Friday night was a SAT with Lets Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I pulled out LHN Glory To God from the JCS 2008 issue. I had started it in March. While stitching I started listening to The Shack by William P. Young. Very good.

Saturday :
Scott, Justin and I went to the Farmer's Market and the a local store to buy meat. Later on Scott and I went to Walmart so I could get another photo box for my specialty threads. Then to Home Depot to get a clothes rod for Justin's closet and I wanted to look at and price shelving for my craft room. Found what I wanted and am going to go with Cherry shelves. I will buy a little bit at a time.

When I came home I read friend's blogs and I was reading Louisiana Momma's post about her zentangle and remembered I saw this a while ago, online. Well I used to do this in the 80s. Art was my major in school and I was always drawing. So I believe I will buy a sketchbook and a couple of pens and start doing this again. I love Louisiana Momma's Halloween ones and you know how much I love Halloween, so I can't wait to do some. I even found my sketches from the 80's. I still have my art portfolio.

Hoping to stitch quite a bit on Cat-O-Lantern today. See you later.

Thanks so much for the comments , I love them all :-)

a little bit of this and a little bit of that (picture heavy)

Tuesday night is family night with my boys. Dinner and a DVD. We ended up watching Hot Tub Time Machine. I rated it 3 stars. The storyline was good and the acting but the use of the F word was a little to much by one character.


Wednesday night was movie night at the theater. I took Justin to see Charlie St. Cloud and it is an awesome movie and we rated it 5 stars. You will need kleenex! Zac Efron does an amazing job in this movie.

Thursday I worked til 3 and I wanted to join Weight Watchers that evening. Well it starts at 4:45 and in the same town where I work. I did not want to drive back home only to have to turn around again and go to the other side of the town I was already in. So I took my laptop and went to a new coffee shop in Batavia, NY. It is called Coffee Culture and I really liked it in there. It is open late at night and they have a wide variety of coffees, teas, chillers (smoothies) and breakfast food, sandwiches , wraps, and soups. I just got a chiller , which was very good. They also have free wifi, hence my taking my laptop. I left there at 4:30 and headed to WW. I joined and got weighed and my slider and little booklet to get started. I have been doing Weight watchers for 2 weeks with my mom's WW stuff that she doesn't use anymore. I enjoyed the meeting.

Today I got out of work at noon because we weren't busy and I already had in enough hours. I wanted to go for a walk but the sky looked like it was going to rain. So instead I worked out with Wii Fit Plus. I have not used it since April. Well since then I have lost almost 9 pounds. I am thinking because of my eating healthy the past 2 weeks. Anyways I worked out for 30 minutes and burned 172 calories. So I feel pretty good about that. I will post about my accomplishments at the end of every post.
Then I pulled out HAED SK Sunny. Tonight was a SAT with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I watched 3 episodes of this weeks General Hospital and then a Hallmark movie was on tonight: Lies Between Friends, which was really good. I got a few squares done on Sunny.
I forgot to tell you. Monday I finished getting all of my DMC on the bobbins and into the Jammers. Woohoo!!! It felt great to get that done after several years. I need to buy 1 photo box with index labels so I can store the Misc. overdyed brands that I have. Then all of my floss will be done.
I also have started listening to Hand of Evil of J.A. Jance and am enjoying it.

Well I guess I am caught up for the week.
Tomorrow I hope to stitch more, on HAED SK Sunny.

Friday SAT

I didn't stitch much this week. Justin and I went to the movies on Thursday and saw Despicable Me 3D. Loved the movie. Laughed so hard I had tears pouring down my face.
Then we went grocery shopping. Him and I are doing Weight Watchers. My mom gave me all her stuff so Justin and I have been fun buying for that and eating healthier. But then I had to buy other food for Scott and Dylan. They don't eat here much so not a problem. Then I went to a couple of websites and even found one for points in restaurant food. Some days I can't eat all the points I need and some days I go over 1 point. I have learned so much online from other weight watcher members.

My coworker let me borrow all 3 High School Musicals. So last night I stitched on Joan Elliott's Spring Angel for the SAT with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sister's Yahoo group. I didn't get a lot stitched on this as I was watching the TV more than stitching. I did get this much done on it.
I plan on stitching on more of this today. Not to hot this morning so I will clean and I have no plans for today. Maybe just veg out.

HAED Happy Dance!!!!

My first HAED finish Woohoo!!!
I stitched this as part of the SAL with the HAED BB. I have 3 other HAEDs that I need to finish.

Tonight was Friday SAT with the Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sister's Yahoo group. I ended up watching 3 movies tonight.
She's Out of My League 4 stars
Get Smart 3 stars
The Haunting of Molly Hartley 3 stars

Yesterday we had our work done by noon so I left work, took Scott out for lunch and then later on I took Justin to the movies. We saw The Sorcerer's Apprentice , which was a 5 star. Great graphics.
Then I went to A.C. Moore. I love their pads of paper that are $1. Plus I bought little wooden cutouts of ladybugs, butterflies, bees and dragonflies. I had the round magnets at home so I made needle minders out of them.
Then I went to Joann's Etc. since they have fabric and I love the project bags through Stitch a Gift and I change mine every month. I have 6 or 7 of them now and wanted some made with material that I picked out so I will be sending those fabrics onto the ladies to make them for me.
I am winding the 3800's on bobbins now but I ran out of bobbins so I am hoping to pick up more tomorrow. Plus I have a bag of DMC that are a mix of numbers that need to be wound. I see the light at the end of the tunnel :-)

This weekends events

FRIDAY:
Happy 22nd Anniversary to my sweet husband. Unfortunately he had to work.
I stitched for the SAT with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I stitched on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep.
I also watched General Hospital and the movie Fred Clause.
This is how much progress that I made.

SATURDAY: I stitched for a few hours on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I watched 2 movies. Speed racer , which was cute and then Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.
The SAT today was with Only One Ewe BB and stitching Sisters Yahoo group.
Scott took me out for dinner for our Anniversary. We went to a new place to us in Clarence. It is called Old Red Mill. Scott had Prime Rib and I had Surf-n-turf= Prime Rib and snow crab legs. It was excellent food and Scott said the best Prime rib he has had in a while. We will go back there again.
SUNDAY:
Dylan and I went grocery shopping then I took off with Justin and we saw a local theater group do the musical for Footloose. It was at a high school an hour away from me. Along the way there was a Quilt store so we stopped. I was looking all around and making comments to Justin. I don't know if it was the owner or just someone that worked there , but she was really nice. I told her that I didn't quilt and I was a just a cross stitcher and wanted fabric for my finishes. She said we are not just cross stitchers but we are fiber artists. I liked that and had never heard us referred as that. I told her that my husband would have a fit if I got into another craft lol. She said that he can't be to bad if he brought you to the store. LMAO!! I told her Justin was my 20 year old son and not my husband. She said no way. I do not look old enough. I told her yes, I am 45. She wouldn't believe me lol.
So we found the school with no problem and the musical was great. Justin had 2 friends in it , and that is why we went.
Came home and started a new Halloween piece for Sunday SALs with Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. This is called Cat-O-Lantern by Springberry Kreek Designs. I bought this 10 years ago during a Cross Stitch Pals retreat. I can't wait to work on it again.
I also watched Tale of Despereaux and then True Blood.

Valentine Kitty

Work was busier than it had been all week. Got home and got things together to stitch for tonight's SAT. Decided on Stitchy Kitty Valentine Kitty Moon. At first I wasn't sure if it would happen. For some reason the power went out at 4:10 but it finally came back on at 5:05. At 6:00 I started it.

I think I got quite a bit done.

I watched 2 TV shows:
General Hospital - kind of getting sick of all the story lines
