Major Happy Dance

She is finished!!
HAED SK Sunny
25 ct eveanweve
1x1
7/5/10-7/17/12


I had Justin draw what my next UFO was to finish and the winner is.......
Rocky Mountain Christmas - Marty Bell

I don't know what I am going to do with Sunny. Probably get her framed and hang her in my family room. Rocky Mountain Christmas was started as a SAL in January of 2001 and is my oldest UFO. This is for me as I love it. Just hate confetti stitching.

I listened to quite a bit of Knock Out by Catherin Coulter and am halfway through it.

Well now you will have to keep your eyes open on my RMC progress.

Oh so close

I didn't stitch last week because of the heat but I did stitch yesterday and then all day today. Only a little bit more to go on HAED SK Sunny.

Last week I finished reading the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy. I loved them. I also read Kindred by Octavia E. Butler and I highly recommend that book. Right now I am reading Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult.

DS#1 had totaled his car on July 3. This past week the insurance company agreed it was totaled so they gave him enough to pay off the car and enough for a down payment on a new car. He bought a 2010 green Chevy Cobalt, 5 speed. Really nice car. Still learning how to drive it.
He wasn't hurt in the accident. The car in front of him slammed on their brakes to avoid deer and he slowed down but didn't stop fast enough and hit her. She just had a little paint scraped off her car. It was a 2002 Ford Taurus.

Scott and I will be celebrating our 24th wedding Anniversary on July 16. So yesterday i bought him an outfit. He doesn't like to wear shorts but this summer has been unbearably hot so I bought him cargo shorts, a polo shirt and croc sandals. So he wore it while he took me out for dinner at The Original Crab Shack. Oh sooo good.

Well that's it for now. I will post again when I finish Sunny :-)

Happy 4th of July

I hope everyone had a great 4th. I took pics of all my jewelry and made a page on my blog. Go check it out. Then I sat and stitched all day. It was another very hot and humid day so I enjoyed the a/c. Watched episodes of TV shows on my DVR.
So here is how much I got done on HAED SK Sunny





Last night Justin (DS#1) was in a car accident. The car in front of him had slammed on her brakes as a deer ran out in front of her. Justin slammed on his brakes but still hit her. He is ok, no one was hurt but his car was totaled. So now he is driving mine til he can get something else. For some reason the cop forgot to give Justin his license back. The cop wasn't working today so they have to get that back, tomorrow. Justin did get a ticket for driving to close to the vehicle in front of him. Thank god that no one was hurt.

Another progress update

For 2 night I have been stitching away on HAED SK Sunny. If I didn't have plans for this whole weekend I probably could make my goal of finishing it by Sunday night. But I am not going to sweat over it. It will be done in July :-)
I watched a new show tonight. Craft Wars on TLC at 10pm est. It was a lot of fun to watch.

Still reading 50 Shades of Grey and listening to Tailspin by Catherine Coulter.

Alot of Sunny progress

I was determined to stitch a lot on this today and all this week. Remember my goal is to finish it the end of this month. So after grocery shopping and doing some laundry, the remote and needle became my friend.
I watched:
Unknown - good
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hollows part 2
True Blood

So here is my progress pic

Thanks for looking and leaving comments.

Now I am going to go read some more of 50 Shades of Grey - ohhhh sooo steamy.

progress on SK Sunny

I made quite a bit of progress today. If you remember my goal was to finish it this month. I only have 7more days. I am trying to get all the confetti stitching done and then it is all filling in big blocks of color.

Watched:
The Tourist
Cinderella Story- Sing me a Song
Sixteen Candles

June Tusal

I forgot to post the other day for TUSAL. I only stitched on HAED SK Sunny and most of the threads I was using, I didn't need to cut off and put in my ort container. So here is what I have:


This is Sunny progress for today:

While I was trying to take these pictures, I had a little help.
This is Princess Ruby. She was Dylan's kitten when he first moved to PA. But after a month he had to find a new apartment. The new roommate was allergic to cats. So, of course, i took her. She is now about 2 years old. She doesn't care for Dylan anymore and seems to prefer me and my hubby. She can be quite a handful.

June IHSW

This weekend was IHSW. I only stitched for about 2 hours. But it is closer to a finish. Here is what I have so far on HAED SK Sunny.
I only have a couple more rows to go and it will be finished.

June Wipocalypse

It's that time of the month to post what I have stitched on since the last Wipocalypse
HAED SK Sunny


Mirabilia Halloween Fairy
I can't believe how long it has been since I have posted. I have been stitching though. I have put aside Halloween Fairy so I can finish Sunny.

I also have been busy making jewelry so I can start doing home parties. I am excited about that.
I really don't have any other news from my end. I have been reading and listening to audiobooks. I finished The Hunger Games series, still on the Catherine Coulter FBI series. I also started a new book by a new author. She is married to my cousin and I am enjoying this book very much. It is called The Fairytale Keeper and is book 1 of a trilogy. It is by Andrea Cefalo. It just hit the bookstores and Amazon June 1.

IHSW & TUSAL

This weekend was the IHSW weekend. I stitched on HAED SK Sunny.
I also stitched on Mirabilia Halloween Fairy

Today was TUSAL and here is this month's ort container. All the threads in this are from the Halloween Fairy and Sunny.
Yesterday and today were very hot and humid. We even had an air quality alert today.

Lots of beads have been coming in the mail, from ebay. I am hoping to make more jewelry next weekend. I would have made some this weekend but I wanted to do the IHSW instead. Nothing else going on in my part of the world.

row 1 of page 3 done

I have been stitching as much as I can on HAED SK Sunny. This is moving right along and this page doesn't have a lot of confetti stitching.


This week has had quite a few series and season finales. They have all been emotional.
I watched:
Once Upon A Time
Desperate Housewives - ending was emotional
Bones
House- finale is next week
Private Practice
Revenge- finale is next week
tonight's Grey's Anatomy- could not believe who it was that died.  I won't spoil this for those who haven't watched it yet.

I got back the results of my CT scan, I do have a hernia but they want me to lose 10-20 lbs by mid July before they do surgery. There is also some other health issues that showed up but these specialists don't deal with them and don't really understand them so I see my regular doctor next week, to deal with them. I am sure everything will be fine though. Will post more after that appointment.

I finished listening to Point Blank by Catherine Coulter and will start listening to a Sandra Brown audiobook. I will also be starting to read Double Take by Catherine Coulter.

Thanks for reading and leaving comments. I appreciate all of you.

Page 2 is finished!!

I did it, I finished page 2 of HAED SK Sunny. I then gridded page 3, which is the final page, and put in a few stitches.
My goal is to finish her by the end of June. Since there is a lot of block stitching without changing colors I should be able to do it.

I had my CT scan this morning. So not only didn't I care for the doctor's office or the doctor and his assistant , I also was mad today. I went to the building for the CT scan. I gave my name and they have no folder on me. The doctor's office never sent over the acquisition forms so there was nothing there. They had to wait for them. It didn't take long but at this point if I need surgery do I really want those yahoos touching me?

So today I went through all my blogs in Google Reader and got rid of the ones who haven't posted to their blogs this year. I left comments on quite a few.

Then I watched:
General Hospital
Witches of Oz - miniseries I DVRd from Encore
The Vampire Diaries season finale
Grey's Anatomy

I also read some more Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.

Have a good night.

Wednesday's progress

Took Dylan out for dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Then bought some groceries, came home and stitched. I made some more progress on Sunny.


I watched:
General Hospital
Red- with Bruce Willis- very good

Reading: Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins
Audiobook: Point Blank - Catherine Coulter

Tomorrow is my CT scan. Wish me luck.

I found out that some ladies from the 123 board are meeting Saturday, at the LNS in E. Rochester and spending the day there so I have decided to join them. I have never met any of them and it should be fun. I told DH that I am taking the Saturday off from his parents so he is on his own :-). He was fine with that.

Thanks for reading and leaving comments.

Another update

I walked for 30 minutes today and used weights for my arms. Felt good.

Sat down and stitched on more of Sunny.

Tonight's movie was the mini series of Stephen King's Bag of Bones. I had DVRd it last year. Then I watched Private Practice.

Also read quite a bit more of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.

Thanks for reading my blog and leaving comments.

2 more squares finished

I didn't go into work today as I had a doctor's appointment. Did not go the way I expected and not to fond of the doctor I saw.
Anyways I called into work to see if I was needed but was told no. Not much work anyways. I was able to stitch for a few hours and finished up 2 more squares.

I also read quite a few blogs and left comments on a few. Trying to read a few a day. Also getting an exercise routine going again.

I read some more of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I want to read a little bit more tonight.

Everyone have a great evening. Thanks for reading and leaving comments.

May's WIPocalypse

I have done very well stitching on HAED SK Sunny and she has been my main focus for the WIPocalypse.
I have 1 more row til page 2 is finished. Then Page 3 is the last page.

I did stitch a little bit on Mirabilia's Halloween Fairy.

Sorry I have been MIA. The past 2 weeks has been on ebay buying a lot of beads for making my jewelry. Plus my main focus has also been SK Sunny. I haven't read blogs or been in my forums. This week I hope to do some catching up. I have to stop buying beads as I bought enough to make jewelry for the rest of the year. I am hoping to do mainly home parties with a couple of cheaper rental craft shows. I also will post some on here and you can buy from me as well.

I am on the 3rd book of The Hunger Games, Mockinjay. I love this series. I am also still listening to Catherine Coulter's FBI series and am listening to Point Blank.

Dylan is still job hunting. He has had a couple of nibbles and they like him and he waits for them to call him back plus he calls them.  Hopefully he will get hired real soon. Right now he is at Walmart because he got transferred from the one he was at in PA.

Well hopefully I will blog more and read yours.

Sunny is moving along

I have been stitching on HAED SK Sunny all week. I finished a row and halfway through another row. Nearing the end of page 2 and then onto page 3, which is the last page. Which also has less confetti stitching.




Since my last post I also finished reading Dark Lover by J.R. Ward. A Vampire book and some erotica in it. I enjoyed it. I also finished the audiobook, Blow Out by Catherine Coulter. I am now reading the 2nd book of the Hunger Games, Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. Hard to put down. I will be starting the audiobook, Point Blank by Catherine Coulter, tomorrow.

Tonight Justin and I went to the movies and saw The Lucky One. Really good. I read the book when it first came out so not sure how accurate the movie was compared to the book. But 1 of my co workers read the book last week and saw the movie over the weekend. She said it didn't follow the book very well.

Well that's it for now. Have a good night and thanks for reading.

Sunny is moving along

I have been stitching on her all week and moving along. Page 2 is almost complete. About 2 more weeks. Page 3 is a full page but most of it has large blocked areas of 1 color and not alot of confetti.
HAED SK Sunny:


Today is a sad day in the entertainment business. Dick Clark has passed away, at the age of 82, from a massive hear attack. You will be missed!

Today I listened to quite a few chapters of Blow Out by Catherine Coulter. It is hard to turn off.

Today I broke down and ordered from Fire Mountain Beads as I want to make a few of these bracelets.

I love bracelets so I want to make a lot of them and sell them plus my scissor fobs. Trying to use up what beads I have so I can get better quality beads.

My cat, Ruby, is doing a lot better. She has an upper respiratory infection but her lungs are clear. Scott and Dylan took her to the vet yesterday. She is on antibiotics. Plus I have had her locked in my bedroom at night, with me, and the vaporizer going. Today she is perky and playful and getting into trouble. She even asked for food and she hasn't eaten much in a few days. Thanks for all the concerns.

Today's movie was The Rite, it was ok and based on a true story.  I also watched Live With Kelly! and General Hospital. Also tonight was Revenge, very good.

Time to go to bed, 6am comes to quickly lol.

Progress pics

Last week I stitched a little bit on HAED SK Sunny.
Yesterday I pulled out Mirabilia's Halloween Fairy.


On Friday, April 13, my son, Dylan, graduated from Universal Technical Institute (UTI). This is in Exton, PA and it is to be an auto technician. We are very proud of him as he almost quit twice.

I have a kitty with a cold right now and she is eating a little bit and drinking water. Her nose is stuffy and she sneezes a lot but less than she has been. I have been playing nurse. I steamed up the bathroom and took her in there and then she slept in my bedroom last night, with the vaporizer going. She has had it since Thursday and is not running a fever. May have DH take her to the vet tomorrow if she doesn't feel any better.
