Happy Dance Finish #4

I'm so happy! I worked an extra evening on this weeks. I only had 2 letters to complete when I went to bed last night, so I just HAD to finish it tonight. I just couldn't stomach setting it aside so close to being done.

Of course this is where I started last Friday. And below is the finished product. I have to go and check out mats this weekend to find just the right heart shaped mat to complete this one. I want to hang it over my desk so I can look at it often.

I haven't looked at the Random Number Generator yet to see what is next, but I think I will work on Best Witches, since that is the only one I haven't worked on since the first night. I did work on the Bugs Bunny bookmark when my hubby had a procedure done last month and next month when he has another one done I'll take it again and work on it. I really want to get it done for him, so of course if its number comes up I'll work on it until it's done, in the nice time (I don't believe in mean time), I'll keep "spinning" my number generator.

I'm off to get next weeks stuff together, so until next time...Happy Stitching!

**************** EDIT NOTE ****************

I was reminded by my friend Debbie...The darker colors in there spell my last name. I still haven't gone to get the mat and frame, but will probably do that next weekend when I reap the benefits of working all this overtime. Sorry I must have been a little brain dead when I posted this because I wanted to specifically mention the darker letters. Ah well, Thanks Debbie for asking!

Baseball season is upon us again!

As I said last week, this weeks piece is for my hubby. He has been a die hard fan of the Minnesota Twins since the year I was born, when his 4th grade teacher let the class watch the World Series on TV. The Twins were in it. They lost but it was a 7 game series and he enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, that teacher was his favorite teacher ever and he decided that the Twins were going to be HIS team. Here's where I started off.

And this is where I left off last night. I was really hoping to get it all the way done this week but that's a LOT of white to stitch! Next rotation, it'll be done.

One of the nice things about this pattern is that I don't need the pattern now that I have the wording done. The only thing I still need it for is the backstitching of the laces.

I realized tonight when I was putting the numbers in for the random number generator, that there are three pieces that I have only worked on once. It just so happens that the number that came up was 9, one of the poor pieces that haven't gotten any extra work done on them. The Alphabet Heart! Wonder if I can finish this one in a week? It's another fairly straightforward patterns, but I'm using variegated floss so it might take a little longer, we'll see next week huh?

I really enjoy reading through all the blogs that I follow, and though I don't always comment, I do always read them. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your crafting, and being a part of mine. So until next time...Happy Stitching!!

TUSAL a day late and a thread short.

I just found out about the TUSAL (link over there--------->) and signed up and took my pic. I don't have a glass jar yet, I have been thinking about it and now I have a reason to get one. I currently put my ORT's in a candy bar tin. This probably won't fill up very fast, but again I remind myself, it's not a race. I enjoy stitching at my pace and would probably take another hiatus if I tried to push it.

While I'm here updating this, I'll post the pics of my Day 8 and 9 starts. I haven't added to either of them yet so they're stuck at the first pics progress.

This one is going to my hubby without a doubt. I think I made really good progress on this one for just the short time that I worked on it. I love the colors too. Both of the music clef's use Crescent Colours floss. I might buy more of it because it works up really nice.

A bunch of us are doing or have done this Alphabet Heart. It's a freebie you can get here. I am going to stitch the letters of my last name in a darker variegated thread, that way it stands out more. This one will probably stitch up pretty fast. I just have to get back to it.

I'm not doing any sort of organized rotation. I found a random number generator online that I can set my own range on. I got #15 today, so I'll be working on the day 15 project tonight.

I'm enjoying posting my updates, I think I'll keep it up. Little by little I'm learning new things about this blogging stuff. So until tomorrow...Happy Stitching!
