Weekend Update

Well, this past weekend was pretty productive on the stitching side of things. I managed to finish S is for Sewing on Sunday. This one worked up much quicker than the damn rabbit! Thank goodness.....LOL

Then I decided to stitch some on Friendship, but I got bored pretty fast with this one. This will be the one I work on when the boss goes on vacation next week. Hopefully, it'll be done by the time she comes back :)

So, then I wasn't sure which way to turn. I really, really, really wanted to start Sunflower Inn by LHN, but I've got so many WIP staring me in the face that I just couldn't do it. So, I pulled out 7 Chakras. I'm hoping to finish this chakra this week.


7 Chakras

I watched Doubt w/Meryl Streep on Sunday. And I hate to say it, but I was not impressed. Sure, the acting was top notch but I found myself almost bored with the movie. And then the ending...ayyy.....I could've gone through the TV to choke someone! LOL

Does anyone watch Hung on HBO? OMG! If you're not offended by some nakedness and curse words, this show is too die for! Love, love the premise! And Thomas Jane is one good lookin' man!

Stitchy Update

I completely forgot to post this update last Sunday. Just goes to show that my brain/memory bank seems to be failing me faster than time is going by!! I've gotten a little bit more done this week, so hopefully I'll post a finish this weekend......if I remember, that is :(

I started Friendship earlier this week because I forgot S is for Sewing at work. Friendship is another one in the series of those chinese character projects I've been working on this year. I haven't gotten far with this one at all. So, no picture of that one yet.

I don't have much planned for this weekend, which I'm truly looking forward to. I hope to get lots of stitching done alone with lots of TV watching. I hope to finish watching season 2 of Mad Men. I just love this show! It's classy and downright dirty at the same time! LOL

R down.......onto S!!

Sigh..........I cannot believe another weekend has flown by! It's ridiculous how fast they go by! Saturday I did the Wal Mart thing in the morning and had some porch time that afternoon. Sunday was very low key. I went to pick up a couple of my mom's friends so they could spend the day together. Then I just stitched the day away while watching movies. I saw Gran Torino and Slumdog Millionaire. They were both excellent, excellent movies. They both had me in tears at the end though. I highly recommend them both.

So, I finished R is for Rabbit on Friday night. I love the way it came out. I'm not much on bunnies, but I think this one is pretty cute :)

On Saturday, I jumped right into S is for Sewing. I was in brown hell for a bit w/that dang sewing machine. So happy when I finished it....LOL I'm really wanting to finish this alphabet series this year. Think I've been working on it entirely too long now. Let's see how long I stick it out :)

Rabbit Update

I've gotten a bit more done on Rabbit. I'm really enjoying stitching on this one, too. Now I didn't give the bunnies eyes yet cuz, well, just in case I don't finish him in a timely manner. I don't want his eyes looking at me accusingly :)

This weekend was pretty low key. My friend, Mari, came by and my mom colored her hair. Then we just hung out on the patio reading ,drinking and chit chatting. Sunday I just stitched and watched Eureka on Sci Fi. They had a marathon on. Has anyone seen it? It's such a fun and quirky show....always makes me laugh :)

I placed an order today from Nordic Needle. I'm getting a cute tote bag (you can never have enough of those!) and another pair of scissor (again, you can never have enough!). And it was all on sale! That's my kind of shopping! LOL

R is for Rabbit

Here's my start on R is for Rabbit by Prairie Schooler. It's taking on that bunny shape now :) Only 7 letters after this....woohooooooooooo!!!

I don't know if it's miserably hot where you are, but my God! It's downright miserable down here. We've been in the 90s since the beginning of June with the heat index breaking into the 100s. And absolutely no rain! That is highly unusual for us. We'll normally get some kind of afternoon rain during the summer. Not so far! I'm going to hate to see what July and August is going to bring us.

Stay cool, y'all!!!!

7 Chakras Update

Here's the latest update on 7 Chakras. I finished the 3rd one sometime this past weekend and completely forgot to update the blog. Duh! Only 4 more to go! Woohooooooooo!!!

As a reward, I started R is for Rabbit by Prairie Schooler. All you can see is a golden brown blob. When it starts resembling more of a rabbit, I'll post a pic.
