Finished name Tree ornament

I stitched on M Designs name Tree Ornament. I finished it as all I had left was the trunk and then adding the beads. I am not sure if I should frame it or maybe do a pinkeep.

28 ct overdyed Crossed Wings fabric

I also stitched on the bookmark , that's for an exchange. I was hoping to finish that this month too but I have about 1/2 an hour left on it. So I will finish it tomorrow.

I watched DVRd shows as well
Bones 1/28
Ghost Whisperer 1/29
Smallville 1/29

Tonight's episodes:
Desperate Housewives
Durham County - season finale

I also listened to about 30 minutes of Damage Control by J.A. Jance.

Name ornament

Yesterday was a SAT with Only One Ewe BB. I picked up Shelleen Tree Ornament and stitched most of it with a couple of naps. I bought a cold medicine Friday and am taking it every 4 hours so starting to feel a little better. it says non drowsy but I still was drowsy. I have a little bit of the stump to finish and then add the beads. So it will be done today. Then I have a bookmark for an exchange to finish up. If I have time I will stitch on LK Boo Flip It.
I had the TV on yesterday and watched:
Medium - 1/15
General Hospital - 1/21, 1/22, 1/25, 1/26, 1/27, 1/28, 1/29 getting really good.

Nothing else going on here. I do have to do a few loads of laundry though and someone needs to get groceries.

Shelleen Tree Ornament

Yesterday was a SAT with Only One ewe BB and my stitching sisters Yahoo group. So I stitched on M Designs Shelleen Tree Ornament. I got quite a bit done on it.

DH and I also went to Walmart. I had gotten a GC from my boss so I bought 2 sets of Pjs, gel pens, pads of paper, haircoloring with highlighting. Then we went to BJs to get some groceries.
Came home and undecorated the tree and house. I have decided to leave up things that say winter, snow and even my snowmen things since winter is still the season. I will have to buy a storage container for my winter items.

I also did some stash shopping at Down Sunshine Lane. I like to change my project bag, scissors, fob, needleminder, pads of paper, bookmarks, needle holder (tin or small book) and floss ring tag, for every month. So I ordered a project bag and needleminder for February and scissors for January.

While stitching I also listened to Justice Denied by J.A. Jance. I am on CD 6 of 9.

We have a storm warning til 6pm tonight. Right now it looks fine out. But it is only 8 degrees out and below 0 with the wind chill.

As you can see I have been playing with my blog and now have it the way that I want it.

name tree and Halloween Fairy

Yesterday was Saturdays SAT with the Stitching Sisters yahoo group and Only One ewe Yuku board. So I pulled out M Designs Name Tree (Shelleen) and got 1/4 of it finished. it is also a stitched incentive piece with the Only One ewe board. This pattern was given to me in 2005. It was in my registration package for the Pals Fall Fling.
Today I went to a stitch in at my friend Jill's house. I hadn't seen her in 2 years but her sister, Karen and I get together once in a while to stitch. So Karen met us there as well. I stitched on Nora Corbett's Halloween fairy. This should be finished this month.

Tonight I watched Desperate Housewives. Anyone else watch this?

Starting next Saturday is deer season with a gun and DH and DS#2 will be gone all day Saturday and Sunday so I have a lot of time to stitch. So my home is open next Saturday for any stitchers and it is pajama day so you can come in your pjs and stitch all day long or join me online.

a finish and a WIP

I finished M Designs Halloween Tree. Stitched on green linen with overdyed threads and the button pack for this design. Images below are close up with the buttons.


I also stitched some more on the quilt sampler. My goal is to finish 2 squares and I think I can do that this week.

I stitched while watching 2 weeks of Medium and most of the movie Eyes Wide Shut , which was a weird movie the first time I saw it.

Today I plan on finishing Boo Needleroll and hopefully start Nora Corbett's Halloween Fairy.

stash and 2 Halloween WIPs

last week my order from Down Sunshine Lane came in. The threads are for the LK Boo series. The fabric , beads and Kreinik are for the Nora Corbett Halloween Fairy.

I am almost finished with the M Designs Halloween Tree. I did manage to finish the cross stitching and next saturday i will add the beads. The power went out at 6:30pm last night and I was able to stitch another hour by the window. I didn't have enough of the orange silk to finish the tree trunk so I used GAST Sable.

Then tonight I stitched a little bit on the Boo Needleroll by Down Sunshine Lane. This is a fun stitch and I hope to finish it next Sunday.

I hope you all had a Happy Mothers Day. Dylan took me out for breakfast before going grocery shopping. We came home and there were a dozen roses on the table. They were from Justin and he also got me a bottle of wine, his dad picked it up. Then Scott came home from work. He had a dozen roses for me as well. he hasn't bought me roses in soo long that he acted upset that Justin had bought me roses but he was kidding around. Thank you guys for making me feel special. I love you!!!

Thanks to all of you who read my blog and leave comments. I appreciate them more than you know.

some pics

Friday I received my wish. On the Make a Wish Blog I had asked for an every day floss ring tag and Jill honored my request. I love it and she did an awesome job on it. Thank you so much!!!
I don't know why the colors are washed out on this piece. it is M Designs Halloween Tree and the fabric is green. This is my incentive piece on the Only One Ewe BB and my Saturday SAT(stitch a thon) with them and with my stitching sisters Yahoo group. I got quite a bit done on it.
On the HAED board this weekend was to pull out a UFO/WIP HAED piece. Since this is the only one that I have going I put in 1 hour of stitching on it, today. I stitched 3 rows.

Saturday SAT and thanks for answers

I stitched quite a bit today on M Designs. My question today is: Who sent me the fricking frog? That wasn't nice and what did I do to you? LOL After fixing something from last week I was on a roll.
I also want to thank all of you that answered my stitching questions the other day. I have been railroading for quite a few years now and have noticed I am a much slower stitcher. So today I stopped, which was hard at first. and my stitching was so much quicker. Plus I don't notice a difference on my piece.

I got my ipod all hooked up and The Gargoyle audiobook is on it. So I listened to it while stitching tonight. Wonder what next Saturday will bring and if I can finish the Halloween Tree.
