More Progress on LHN

Here is the progress that I have made on "From Sea To Shining Sea". I am so amazed at how quickly this one is going. This will be done in no time. I hope that tonight or tomorrow I can have this second one done and start on the third one this weekend.

I have to take the kids to the dentist today. Yippee! They hate it and so do I. So I am taking one of my Lizzie Kate Monthly Flip-It Blocks with me to work on. I have June, July and August left to do. I will try to get some pictures of the rest of them posted. They are too cute.

Well, I am off for now to get ready to go. I have some work left to do this afternoon. But I think some will have to wait until we get back from the dentist's office and the little bit of errands that I need to get done.

Testing out posting by phone

I have just registered my Blackberry and I am testing to see how this works. It amazes me the things that you can do with these devices now.

New Sewing Machine

I am so excited!! I just ordered a new sewing machine!! I have not done a lot of sewing recently, but I really would like to start again. Some of the pieces are so expensive to have finished and I think that with a little practice, I could do it on my own and save some $$!! I got a new Bernina Aurora 440 QE and this month it comes with a FREE embroidery module!! I can't wait to get it!

I just got done exercising and so now I am off to shower and then tonight I am back to "From Sea To Shining Sea". I am moving right along on it and I will post a picture of my progress tonight when I am done stitching. We don't have many plans for this weekend so I think that I will spend a lot of it stitching away!! Yippee!!

More Projects

I have not stitched much today. However, I was pulling threads to finish my last three Lizzie Kate Flip-Its Monthly Block Series. I also took some other pictures of projects that I have finished. This is the Christmas Elf from Mirabilia that I am working on right now.

Here is a Lizzie Kate Snippet that I just finished recently. It is the first Halloween piece that I have done. I think that it came out really cute.
Tomorrow is an early morning so I am off. Tomorrow I hope to get more stitching done. I want to work more on "From Sea To Shining Sea".

Yesterday's Accomplishments

Yesterday was a nice relaxing day. We didn't have anything planned and I was able to work out and then work on some different projects. I repaired some shirts and pants for my DH. He is harder on clothes than anyone that I know.

I had to do some alterations to DD's dance costume. This year she is a dinosaur. Quite the interesting costume. Here is a picture of the ballet part of the costume.

Then after all that "work" was done, I was actually able to stitch on some fun things!! I worked some more on the 'From Sea To Shining Sea' by LHN. And I worked on my Lavender and Lace angel that I haven't worked on for a very long time! Here are a couple of pictures to my progress on those.




Today we are off to get DD's pictures taken in her costume and to get groceries. YUCK!! That is definitely NOT one of my favorite things to do!!

Time for bed soon

Today was certainly a long day, but I did manage to get a little stitching in on my 'From Sea To Shining Sea'. I have started to work on the second house called 'The Southwest'. This project is actually moving quite quickly for being a larger project.

I did take some pictures today. I promised you one of my newest Longaberger basket that I am storing some of my stitching goodies in. So that is what you see here.



I also took some pictures of my needlework today. So I will post one here this evening as it is late and I have to get up early tomorrow.....or I guess I should say today.

This is a Lizzie Kate Snippet that I think any stitcher would love to have. I absolutely adore it. I just finished it a couple of months ago.

One last thing before I head to bed. Remember that April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This violence has affected someone that you know, whether you realize it or not. Support your local rape crisis centers and wear your teal ribbons all month to raise awareness.

Waiting on The Saab

So instead of getting much accomplished today, I am in Wexford waiting for them to fix my Saab. Luckily it is still under warranty. But it is going to take all day. Finally after two hours of sitting in the waiting room, they gave me a loaner car. So I am having lunch at Panera and doing some work. I have to run some errands and then I will come back here if they aren't done with my truck so I can use the wireless again. Wish me luck!!
