Newness

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post! I loved being able to show some progress on my latest projects instead of just prattling on about other stuff.

I am sure you have notice I have changed the look of my blog! I also have added a sale page. Please check it out and let me know if you anything catches your eye!

Have a great weekend!

Progress!

I have had some great progress on a few of my projects in the last week!

The one joy of being home sick. During my few days home from work on my couch I was able to get a big chunk stitched on Venetian Opulence.  

 Yesterday, when I got home, I had this great surprise in the mail!! Awhile ago, I began participating in a round robin board on yuku and sent out Lady of the Mist by Mirabilia. I had put in few stitches when I sent her out and look at all the wonderful progress!! The ladies that participated in the round robin did an awesome job!! Since I had such a great time with the robin that just ended, I decided to join another and just this month sent out a kit that had been sitting in my stash for a couple years. Can't wait to see it get some love!

 While working on Venetian, I took a few breaks and worked on my granny squares. They are shaping up very nicely and I love the vibrant colors!

 I also made this cute ribbed pumpkin hat to add to my etsy shop. It was so fun to make and even though it looks tiny, the ribbing allows it to stretch quite a bit. I have already had an order from a friend on Facebook for an adult size hat!


Tonight I am so excited because my favorite show is coming back on for the season! Yay!!

Back On The Horse

After working a half day and staying home sick last Thursday and Friday, I am back at work.

The weekend with hubby was restful and just what I needed. During my time at home I was able to work on my granny squares and also make some progress on Venetian. No pictures yet but I definitely will post some tonight!

I have made zero sales from my etsy page which is disappointing, but I have sold a few things to friends on Facebook.

Also, in the interest of cleaning up a bit, I have decided to set up a sale page here on my blog. I have some charts at home that I've already stitched or just aren't my cup of tea and need to go on to a new home. Hopefully, that is something I can get started in the next day or so.

It is a rainy day here so I'm very sleepy here at work. Hope everyone is well!

Sicky Sick

I am home from work today, nursing my sick self. It all started innocently enough. Yesterday, I felt fine, but throughout the day I started to get a bit of a scratchy throat and stuff nose. By the time I got home I was very tired, alittle light headed and my body was just done for the day.

Hubby made me some yummy chicken soup for dinner and sent me to bed at 8 o'clock. Way early for me, I couldn't even keep my eyes open to read for a few minutes.

I may have gone to bed early, but it did not make for a good sleep. This morning I woke up and movement was not happening.

So here I am, home for the day. Maybe I will get something done. Maybe I won't.

I'm Back!

Back from our trip and back to work. Boo!

At last, a picture of my TUSAL jar.

We had a great time on the beach. The water was so warm, the sun so bright! I enjoyed reading under the umbrella while Matt laid in the sun. We woke up very early one morning to walk on the beach and see the sunrise. We also collected great shells!!

When I got home I found out a Hobby Lobby store had opened near me so Monday I went out and got some of their yummy yarns. I decided to join a crochet along on Facebook. I really love the colors and my granny squares are working up very quickly!
