Monday Monday

Well it would have been fun if I could have stitched Monopoly on Monday while watching Margin Call, but I needed to get air in the tires and finally take An Object of Beauty back to the library.  The librarian was nice to remind me that Margin Call will be due on Wed to avoid late fees so maybe tomorrow morning I can watch it.
Neil Gaiman put a link to NPR on his facebook and I really enjoyed listening to The Magnetic Fields
Did some stitching at work to fill in more of the letter L heart and my friend remembered her stitching to show me her progress.  I had given her some little kits to start her with that used yarn.  She messed it up so she went to Michael's and bought fabric and floss but because she had used yarn she used all 6 strands.  She did buy 11 or some other really large count so it may have needed three.  It didn't look too bad though.  I hope one Saturday we can get together and I can sit with her and show her how.  I was missing my scissors though, not that I thought she'd make off with them but if my friend A's dog can destroy a project I didn't want her dogs destroying my mitten scissor fob that S had made me.  I'll get a pic of it later it's the cutest little mitten and she knit it herself!
I hope everyone had as a good as Monday as Monday can be.

weekend progress

 I finally did spray adhesive George and Jim!  They're sticky now but at least they're stuck together and not losing bits of themselves.

 A LO I did for Friday Fast Track at Scrapping the Moments and Letter D for Colorful Creations.  Now I have to think of E and F for next month.

 Last night watched Star Trek TOS, Doctor who and did some back stitching.

 Friday I didn't stitch all day like I normally do but I did get a second paw mostly done.  Then discovered that some of the gray is out of place but I'll just have to figure out how to fill in around it.

Stitched a lot on the Love Quilt square.  Hubs is now to the same place where I was at in Bones so we watched that yesterday.  I quit on this when I kept putting the light yellow in the the V heart in the wrong place like three times!  Also had to redo some of the blue but fortunately not all of it.  Maybe on break I can either do the yellow right or fill in the pink.

eek don't let me slip back into old habits! TUSAL Report

Ok here's my TUSAL for the month.  I like my orni.  It makes it look like there are a lot more orts than when I did my rectangular rainbow tribble maker.  They might need to get tapped down.

I was hoping to stitch with my friends at Shoney's but when I called at 7:30 they were leaving because there was some other group in the backroom doing a meeting and they didn't want to disturb them :(  Maybe next week.

Not blogged for a bit but I've still been stitching on my Love square though I haven't touched the Dolly Mama's.  On Saturday I bought the 18 count material to do my Monopoly board to scale.  I started on Monday which marked a year since my Granny had passed away.  I hope to find 3 charms to put on the board: her, Pawpaw and their son Brian who was 9 when he passed from Leukemia.

I don't have anything planned for this weekend.  Tomorrow I will stitch more on the ferret and maybe scrapbook.  My Aunt and Uncle and their kids went down to FL to see my parents and will be coming back this way on Saturday so I may go out to eat with them.

Since I broke down and got a can of Dr. Pepper I will now be up all night so I'm debating on scrapping or stitching.

Mental Floss magazine posted a brief article on their fb page of 11 people that overcame disabilties.  One was this woman, Peng Jiangya, in China who burned her hands as a child and with no hands has learned how to cross-stitch and is hoping to sell her pictures to tourists.  Amazing video of how she stitches.

Crafty Saturday

 This evenings stitching progress.  I'm leaving the green to fill in at work.
I went over to a friends to scrapbook and managed 2 pages as I forgot the printed journaling for the third.  Wish I had printed out my journaling for these as my handwriting is awful.  It got a little mangled when I had to slide it back in my cropper bag but it's still good.  10 Things I Love about Ponder for a challenge at Scrapping the Moments.

 Taffy made the puzzle piece in a swap I had joined in.  A picture of the two leashes still hanging on the cage and my journaling about how Pratchett was the only one who did well on his leash and I miss taking him to the pet store.  Ponder becomes a dust mop.

Ferret Friday Fast Track and Hockey Day

 Friday Fast Track at Scrapping The Moments.  Quick LO looked for a pic and found my car and I don't think I had scrapped it yet.  I think of my car as my TARDIS.  I smiled all the first month every time I was thinking I didn't want to go to work but at least I got to drive my car!  The journaling is about how I'm contemplating getting it as my actual license tag.

 And he has a paw!  Will stitch a bit more on him later, got home and did the LO and had dinner but I took a picture since I was snapping the LO at the same time.

Today was wear your Jersey Day for Hockey in America.  Hubs was wondering why I was wearing it since my team doesn't have a game today.  Actually my team and hubs is playing tomorrow but as it's on NHL it's blacked out in our system so we'll have to watch it later.  Plus a friend invited me over to scrapbook and I have stitching later that afternoon ;)  So I'll be nice and busy and just crossing my fingers the Penguins beat the Flyers :D  (Yes I know we're fans of rival teams and if we had grown up in Pennsylvania this might have been a huge problem but we lived and met in FL and were happy to find a hockey fan!)

I made cookies!

I made cookies!  Still didn't have enough time to dip them in chocolate so I did that part at my friends house and I didn't take a picture of the plate and really out of 8 pics on my camera only 2 were of our stitching night and the rest making cookies.  I never bake or cook anything unless it's a box mix so I was rather proud of making dough and baking cookies that took 2hrs. 
Then at work today we had a training on a new system we're going to be using and that was from 2-4:30.  I had all ready asked off for 5:30 and the training in the middle of lunch I asked my boss so they said I could move my lunch to 5.  Ended up we didn't get out until after 4:30 and by the time I got downstairs there was 10 min left and by the time everything got up my sup told me not to worry about it.  So I stood at the desk while some people went over the new pay scale that's rolling out March 3rd.  Yes lots of new changes at work :p  The new pay will be good for me but my friend looked at it and she doesn't think it will be good for her.
Craftyness today was done at my stitching night with friends and I stitched some more on the Love Quilt Square.  Tomorrow I'll work on the ferret and maybe Saturday I'll start on the big project or get something done on the Dragon.  Feb 20th is when my Granny passed away last year and I think I want to start my Monopoly Stitch.  I'll need to find some game board pieces to stitch on there though my board won't be to scale.  I bought 14 count fabric instead of 18.  I'll do a quick check in the stores but I think 14 Aida is what they normally had.  I hope everyone has a nice hermit and stitch weekend.

Dress Up Day 15

And now I am done for this unless I just really decide I want to wear a dress.

Can't really see how shiny the shirt is or the texture on the tights.
Tomorrow I get to go to a friends and have a nice day stitching.  Found out at work we have a training and since it falls in my lunch I'd have to go after it.  So hopefully they can push it up so I can leave at 5 instead of 5:30 since it makes little sense to go to lunch come back for 30 min and then leave. 
Also, this Saturday will be meeting them again so I'll seem to have the good start for the hermit stitch weekend.
