A little of this, a little of that

As usual, I forgot to update this damn blog! Sigh..... These are last weekends updates.


T is for Time by Prairie Schooler

Peace Sampler by Imaginating, Inc.

And this is my sago palm. A friend bought me a pup (guess what's they call the "babies") that he found on the side of the street. It was totally bald and prickly and now it's starting to grow. It seemed to have taken months for the first little fronds to appear, but it's growing fast now. As soon as it gets a little bigger, I'm going to transplant into the middle of my front yard.

I had a very low key weekend. It's been raining almost non stop since Saturday morning. So, I basically just stitched and watched movies all weekend. And very minimal amount of housework :)

I've finally caught up with my Spirit Sampler. I've left the words off for now. I'm thinking about changing...not quite sure yet. I've really enjoyed this SAL. It's such a pretty, easy design to stitch.


I also worked on BoINK some. I was in such a feverish state to finish it that I bored myself silly with the damn thing! LOL I'll try to put a couple of strings in it every couple of days though. TDee won't let me forget about it :)


And because I was so bored, I decided to start a new project. Yes, I needed to add another log to the fire like I need a hole in my head, but I just couldn't resist :) So, I started Q is for Quilt by Prairie Schooler. I'm stitching it on 28 ct fiddlers evenweave cloth. This is the fabric that Hobby Lobby used to sell by the bolt and now is rarer than I don't know what! If anyone knows where I can get some more of this wonderful fabby, please let me know.

As far as movies, I watched 300 with Gerard Butler. I saw maybe 20 minutes of it and just couldn't watch anymore. Not even watching Gerard's sexy body could make me watch more of this movie. I'm not against bloody movies per se. I think the special effects were a little over the top and the storyline just didn't grab me, I guess. I then saw Freedomland. Now this was a very gritty, disturbing movie. The storyline really bothered me, but I know things like that still happen in this world. From there, it was Nim's Island's turn to be seen. What a fun, lighthearted movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. And, yes, Gerard Butler was sexy in this one, too :) Then yesterday I saw Street King w/Keanu Reeves and Forrest Whitaker. It wasn't the best acted movie by far, but I enjoyed the storyline and I loved watching the bad asses get their payback :)

Last Thursday, I treated myself to a trip to my used bookstore (UBS). I was in a mood for some lighthearted, easy to read romance novels. You know, like Silhouette and Harlequin. So, I walked out with 5 of them and I only paid $15.00! You just can't beat that. I blew through 2 of them as of last night. I think I'll read one more and then get back to the more "serious" books in my "to be read" pile.

Spirit Sampler Update

Here's the latest update of my Spirit Sampler. I think I'm to do date, but more than likely not :)
