May 1 - Beginning Again

It has been a while since I posted, so much has been going on. So I figure May Day is a good time to start new. My DH and I have finally moved to San Angelo, Texas. I have spent the last couple of weeks packing and now have to unpack - yuk! But we are here and I love it. It is nice to walk outside and it is warm. I loved living in East Texas and met some of the nicest people there but I miss the warm dry of West Texas .

I am setting up my stitching room - Yahoo! It will take a while but I am stitching along anyway. I have almost finished Miss Fiona Rose Garden but I got to the end of one color and need just a little more. I ordered it and expect it to get here before I am done with the french knots on her tail!

Thanks to the help and patience of my DH, I finally have some picture to show. Next time he will probably take the pictures since I, apparently, can not focus LOL.

Here are a few WIPS:

This is the very beginning of Lavender and Lace Fairy Godmother.

Bent Creek Snapperbets

Brandon's Garden (Blackwork with hand dyed Waterlilies

Also in the works I have:

Hanging Gardens of Semiramis - Chatelaine

Protection - HAED

Heavenly Grace - P.Buckley Moss

It's March

Well, okay is has been March for a few days. LOL. And a busy March it has been. I wouldn't mind if it would slow down just a little bit.

Both my DHs and my cars went kaput and we ended up having to get new ones. We didn't really want to but when the transmission goes (mine), it really isn't work fixing. Thank you to a friend who helped us out with financing. Of course, it rains - well you know that old saying. Two days after signing the papers on the cars, I lost my job. So, I am out hitting the job market and the choices are slim. We have a few more things going on, but I won't whine anymore.

But now I do have more time to stitch LOL. I have gotten one of my stash diet done the snapperbet part 1. I am working on pushing up daisies and should have that done by early next week. I think I will pick up one of the bigger projects after that. Now that I don't have access to my work computer, I have to figure out another way to get some photos on this site. I will have to talk to DH. He is the computer whiz and can help me to figure it out.

I hope everyone has had a great beginning of March and I will post more later.

February 2009 - New Goals

Most people make resolutions in January. I've always been a late starter. So new resolutions for 2009 are made in February. I just started a new diet with my cross stitch group- a stash diet. I don't think this is going to be a easy as it sounds. So here is what I have resolved to complete. I will post pictures and updates here to share with my stitching friends.

Heres the list:
HAED - Protection just started
Lavender and Lace - Fairy Godmother 20% done
Bent Creek - Snapperbets 1
Gathering Place - Night Creatures
Chatelaine - Spring Morning
P. Buckley Moss - Heavenly Grace 50% done
Raise the Roof - Peter's Cotton Knits
Raise the Roof - Pushing up Daisies
By the Bay - Gathering Place Sampler
By the Bay - Miss Fiona's Rose Garden

I have other projects in the works and I will keep working on them but they are not going on this list since I won't finish them any time soon.
