My Favorite Things

My friend Adrienne at What Lola Wants is doing a Monday post on her favorite things and I decided to copy that idea ;)

Looking through my pictures I found something that made me smile and worry! I love Cake Wrecks and their mithpelllings but this was on the board when my Granny got put in the hospital Christmas Eve!

Stitching for Literacy

Well I blew some dust off my twitter and saw this link from Emma the DMC girl Stitching for Literacy

I also checked out the Stitching for Literacy Blog The link will take you to an update for the Stitching for Literacy and if you click the regular blog they're having a book club and there's updates on the book they are reading. It's The Immortal Life of Henrietta Slacks which is on my too read list but right now I have other books calling for me!

Monday update

With Versus carrying a hockey game tonight I managed to get some more done on the tree. There are also carrying a game tomorrow, Wednesday and the All Star Game this weekend so I'm wondering if all the tree on this side will be done :) Maybe I can get this thing done by Stanley Cup Finals? Unless my team gets knocked out again and I don't want to see Hockey for a while :p

Stitch Saturday and Hockey Afternoon Sunday

After a few snow days I finally got out to see my friends and do some stitching. I finished up the star and have some more of the rocket done. I think I'm going to run out of 797 but my friend checked and she has a lot so yeah!! I just hope it matches close to what I have because I'm using some old DMC.



Today my hubby's team (Flyers) played hockey on NBC so I watched the game with him and did some stitching. I got some blue in the tree and found a spot of gray that had to be frogged. On the Rocket and some of my other stitching I make mistakes and go 'eh I'll fill in around it' but this one bugs me and I take it out and redo. I just hope I have enough thread!

Stitching Tonight!

I will be stitching later this evening so I will have some stitchy updates! Still trying to figure out what project I will bring with me. Debating on my big project or or one of my smaller ones.

I have some chores to take care of around the house and then I have to go out to buy some food for the stitching later because I'm also doing a Pampered Chef party.

I hope everyone has a good productive stitching day!

Hockey Stitch Progress

This was my progress last night while I watched the pre-Golden Globes show and flipped back and forth from the Golden Globes to the Nashville hockey game. I stitched dark and light gray on the tree and then since I didn't want to move my hoop I worked on the white.

No stitching done today. I'm just not feeling crafty. I think I'll go pick a book off the pile and read for a bit.

No Stitchy or Scrappy updates but I am going crazy.

I planned on some stitching today but instead I tidied up around where all my stitching stuff is. I put all the stuff that's done stitched and needs to be finished in one bag. I set up floss for a little project and started gathering floss for my winter snowman pattern. Cross-stitch and Needlework magazine had put out patterns for snowman themed door hangers for the four seasons and I've stitched the spring and summer one. I bought fabric for the fall and winter ones and I can't find the pattern for the fall snowman. I did find the summer snowman bag of floss which had the krienik I bought to jazz up the words for the fall snowman but I can't find the magazine! I think I took the whole thing because it was September issue and it was a lot of Halloween stuff. When I was stitching the spring one my friend had a subscription to the magazine so she gave me her magazines or for the winter one I tore out the pattern because other people wanted stuff that was in it. It's just bugging me I don't remember where I put the magazine! It's probably like the orange in my pattern staring me right in the face.
