Chocolate Awareness

For those of you who are not aware of it, I have to admit something. I am a chocoholic. There. I said it. See, I can admit that I have an addiction. I love chocolate in all forms. Chocolate milk, chocolate cookies, chocolate cake, brownies, candy, dark chocolate, milk chocolate. You name it, I like to eat it. The only thing I really don't like is white chocolate, which technically isn't chocolate at all, so it really has no place in this conversation.

Last night I was taking a Reese's peanut butter egg out of the cabinet where I hide my stash of chocolate when who should come up the stair at that exact moment? MJ!! Now he knows where I keep my stash and I think I'm going to have to be watching my cabinet a bit closer to see if any of the good stuff mysteriously disappears on me. Hmmm. I think it's time for a new hiding space.

As I said in my last post, I finished Chocolate Awareness and I finally got a picture of it.

Now I have to decide if I want it frames, or if I want to finish it some other way.

Now that this piece is done, I feel this great need to go through my stash closet to start something new. I have my personalize sampler and the Disney kit going right now, but they are pretty big pieces and I need something small to take with me when I have doctors appointment, or when I have to take the kids someplace, like Z to gymnastics.

Uh, oh! I think I have startitis, too.

It's Fall!!

Image
The calendar has turned to September.  The weather has (finally) turned cooler, the kids are back to school, and we're enjoying cool night outside by the fire pit.  It's a busy time of year for all of us.  My stitching hands have been busy, too! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about how I'm finishing the mandala panda. Stitching is complete!  See what happens when I stick to working on one project?  I actually get something finished!  In truth, I loved this piece.  It was a true joy to work on.  It has been sent off to a friend, who is fabulous with a sewing machine, and she will be creating a tote bag with my panda as the center of the creation!!  I can't wait to see what she comes up with! My oldest WIP is a WIP no more!!  If my mom were here she would be so proud.  I was probably 19...20 when I bought it. As I said earlier, it's now September.  Do you know what that means!!  Fall stitchin...

Happy Dance of Sampler Joy!!

Image
Anyone want to put on their happy dance shoes and join me? I finished my sampler this afternoon: It's not washed or ironed yet, and it will be awhile until I get it framed because it's so big. I know exactly where I want to put it, too. There is a perfect spot in the dining room where everyone will be able to see it. Talk about excited!! I am so happy to finally finishe this piece. I remember when I started it, thinking that 20 pages seemed so long. I still does, to be honest, but I guess when you compare it to the 69 page HAED, the 20 page sampler was a cake walk! When you first start something like this I guess you feel like you will never get to the end, or at least that is how I felt about it. But look at me now? One HUGE project done and out of my stitching bag! Now I plan on finished the LHN piece that I have started and then I think I will start some Christmas ornaments. I'm moving right along. We are down to the last week of summer vacation here. Both if...

A Quiet Sunday

Image
Yesterday we had the joy of going to watch our niece swim in a meet at a local university.  We were up and out early, and with a quick stop at Starbucks to fuel our morning, we were off!  It was great to watch her compete and spend the day with her family.  I worked last night, which is a rare thing for me on a Saturday night, so it was a long day.  Today we're keeping it quiet.  Z has homework to finish, MJ is streaming something on Netflix, and after baking, doing laundry, and vacuuming the house, I am stitching.  My usual stitching spot gets cold and drafty in the winter at times, so I bought myself a birthday present: a new Ott Light, and I created a second stitching space for myself. If you've read my blog before you know we're big Disney fans in this house.  I came across a chart recently that I told myself I could not do without!  It was a quick start and finish, and I'm glad I was able to get it done before Valentine's Day ...
