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!!

SW Mission, Boy Am I Dizzy!

No, I'm not dizzy because of the SW Mission piece, I'm dizzy because I have vertigo. Actual diagnosed vertigo. I noticed Wednesday at work that every time I turned my head or looked up, I felt like I was going to fall out of my chair. I thought it might be my ears or possibly my allergies doing a number on me. I left work early on slept for a few hours, but that didn't seem to help. I went to work on Thursday feeling passable, but after an hour or two I started feeling dizzy again. I called my doc and thankfully, they had an opening a couple of hours later. So the verdict is Vertigo. The doc prescribed some good meds and told me to take a few days off to let it get in my system, so here I am home, and stitching...when I'm not sleeping, the meds make me sleepy.

Now on with the stitching update! Last week my random number was 3, the pattern I call the SW Mission. I got quite a bit of the clouds done. I finished the 3rd page and have 2ish pages left to go. The ish is the last of the 4th page. Looks like I might get this one done this year!

It's easy to get bored with this due to the large blocks of color, but I have decided that no matter what I'm going to stick to my week long rotation and that way I'll complete more projects over the course of the week.





This is the only WIP that I chose for my challenge this year. I have a few others that I may add to next years challenge. Yes, I'm already planning for 2013. The wonderful folks that are part of the challenge group on Facebook have really been a huge inspiration to me.

I don't have any stitchy friends close by and although my hubby oooh's and aaah's when I show him my progress on things, there are times I think he's just doing it to be a good sport. I do the same when he talks about the inner workings of printers sometimes. Shhh, don't tell him. :)

Speaking of my hubby, I'm spending this week on his favorite baseball team's logo. I've done this one just this past December for one of my stitchy friends who lives in Minnesota and loves the Twins too.

Thanks for taking time out to visit my little corner of the blogiverse. Until next time, Happy Stitching!

Here Comes Treble update and Days 14 & 15

Yesterday got away from me and I was so tired by the time I realized I hadn't posted updates, I just went to bed. So I took a new pic of Here Comes Treble with a bunch more done. I'll be working on it again in a few minutes, so updates at some point tomorrow probably.

Looking like I should be able to finish this in the next few sittings, even though I only stitch a little at a time. I'm really liking this series.

Day 14 is the Minnesota Twins logo, another one for my hubby. He's a huge fan of the Twins. I'll probably turn this into a trivit. I did one of these for a stitchy friend of mine for her birthday since she's a big fan too.

Day 15's project came from Ink Circles and is a freebie. I have a sister-in-law that is a breast cancer survivor and so this one means a lot to me. I have worked on it a second time for about 10 minutes.

I know not much extra done, but once I get going on it, I should be able to really rock it. That's the nice thing about using variegated floss, you can make color changes without having to switch threads!









Done for the night I think so, until next time...Happy Stitching!
