Hockey Stitch

This was last year's Christmas Stitch that I was supposed to work on one week out of every month. I had gotten it in December and started on a bit of it during Christmas before that and hoped the challenge would help me continue. I also stitched on it during Hockey games (or more accurately the darn commercials they replay every break)
Then came May and my team was in the Stanley Cup playoffs and lost to one of the representatives teams in piece. So didn't want to stitch on it after that :p

Hubs was upstairs watching his hockey game so I figured that was a good time to pull this out and start stitching again. My team plays later tonight so if I listen to the game I might get more done on it! If I find a feed to watch it, it will be stitch, stitch, hold needle in air until there's a stop in play, oh darn where was I?

Thursday Stitching

Thursday is Stitching Night at the LNS and I got a little bit done on the rocket and bought supplies for another one! I had to buy some floss just to get my card punched at the store since the pattern was only 4 dollars :)

TUSAL 2011

My TUSAL from 2010


I don't have another container so I tried dumping this out and was kinda surprised that it kept it's shape so well. Kinda like a cheese mold or something.


I love it and it's sitting under my computer monitor. It's kinda like a rectangular tribble.

Tomorrow I will do my first stitching of the New Year so next months TUSAL will have some new rectangular tribble beginnings.

opps

I forgot to post yesterday.

This is the progress on my Love Quilt square but looking at some of what's been submitted they are more realistic looking. This was all I had for patterns about space. So I might have the one funky square in the quilt if they use it :p Maybe if I stitch really fast I can do the flying saucer and they can match!

more dusting

Further Dusting!

Traveling Today. Hope to get a picture of my stitching in progress and post later or tomorrow.
