Current weekend WIP

I was getting a bit behind in my rotation so I had to revamp it. I have chosen to work on this at our house by Lizzie Kate for the weekend. It is mostly lettering so I feel that I should get this one done quickly. If the kids and my husband can leave me alone for a bit. It may rain today so that will be a great excuse to stay indoors and relax since I worked extra hours this week so I am kinda burnt out a bit. Last nite I took my girl and her friend to see suicide squad at the drive in. It was a pretty good movie. I had a bit of a time to follow along with the story line but my daughter filled me in. She loves DC comics and her favorite was in the movie that being the joker and batman. So below is what I will be working on. I am also going to be sorting out the beeds for the mill hill projects and getting those organized. I can not express how much I love to cross stitch. It is such a relaxing hobby. It brings me so much joy. I love all the patterns and how much love you can put into each piece. I love watching floss tube and seeing everyone enjoy this craft as much as I do. I only wish that my daughter was into this hobby as much as much as I was. Now that would be fun. It may come later in her life but for now she enjoys her video games and her anime. I am very proud of her and support whatever she does. My son well no chance of him starting to stitch even though I show him coffee stitcher on floss tube no way. lol

Mini Haul

It has been a hard couple of weeks so I decided to stop at my local LNS and treat myself to a new project or 2 or 3 LOL. I am so in love with the I love series by Mill Hill that I ordered the I love cross stitching and the I love notes to make for my girl for Christmas. I love the halloween as well as the Love one that they have available. I will get those ones later on. I love working with beads so much. It is a surprise to me that I waited this long to start Mirabillas as they are usually filled with beads. I also recently went over their mermaid series and I really enjoy them. So now to the fun part. Below is a picture of my current haul.

I am back :)

I am soooo sorry that I have not posted much in the past couple of weeks. We finally got a new service provider for the internet which is much faster than my old one. So let the blogging begin!! I have been stitching alot these past couple of weeks. I have found a new addiction to Mirailia designs by Nora Roberts I have been working on the below designs. I have only a few stitches in each so I will post the pictures once they have more work on them. The first one is Sabrina.

She is so beautiful. The second one is Gypsy Queen.

Direct quote from Nora Roberts When I was a little girl my 72 year old Slovak grandmother raised my sister and I while my mother went to find herself. Beth and I would run around the house like kids do. She would yell at us not to be “gypsy girls”. I could never figure out why being a gypsy girl was a bad thing. Wearing beautiful jewelry and colorful dresses and traveling with my friends in a caravan sounded wonderful! So I give you the very good, stunningly wise and mysterious “Gypsy Queen”. Thinking about it now, I think that was what my mother was. The third one is Luna. I love love pumpkins.

The fourth one is Garden party

I love love everything about the above designs and I can not wait to start posting my progress in each one. I have worked them into my rotation. They each will get the 2 days just like my other projects. Happy Stitching everyone :)

Frosted pumpkin passport stitch along progress for July 13- 14

End of day 2 WIP progress

I got a lot done this weekend on this one. I am very impressed.

Today's WIP

I am back! Happy Canada Day :)

Please forgive me :) I have not been feeling well the past couple of weeks and I barley had any energy. The stitching was low but I did manage to get a few stitches in. I am feeling a bit better than before. I slept alot last night. Today is the day where I need to get some stuff done. My dear Son is kinda upset because he has to entertain himself. I find that he has a hard time to do that. He becomes bored easily. His dad is taking a quick nap after working on the roof all morning with his friend. i am going to run and take him out for some Canada day celebrations. Below is my current project. I decided to dedicate 2 days to one project. That will allow me more time to put more stitches in :)
