The Right Side Of The Table Runner

So, now that I am back to my stitching, I am moving right along with the table runner. The right side of the project is done:


Two more pages and it will be finished. Then I just have to figure out how to finish it. The chart gives directions for finishing it, but I'm one of those people who actually needs to see it done rather than just reading how to do it. I guess you could say that I'm more of a "visual learner". I'm hoping that however I finish it, the finishing will do the stitching justice.

I keep telling myself that there are other projects I need to get back to. Mickey and Minnie come to mind, and then there are the pandas of HAED fame. Maybe this week I'll pull one of the other projects out, but I am really loving this one. I've come to really enjoy the monochrome things. I find them so easy without having to look at symbols for color changes. I have a few small ones always kitted up and ready to take with me. MJ laughs at me and M always asks, "Do you take your stitching everywhere?" I think I embarress him. But, if I have to sit somewhere I might as well make good use of my time!

It's a rainy day here on Long Island. With the kids in school and the house quiet it's a good day for stitching. Ingredients are in the bread machine for fresh bread and in a few hours the house will smell delicious!

I love days like this!

Hi Pam, Can't wait to see your table runner finished, and I totally agree about stitching on a rainy day... but then I stitch on any type of day so. I have been off my leg for the most part today and pulled a few stitches with my SIL Jan so all is good.
Be always in stitches.

A Book, Some Ornaments, and a Giveaway!

Image
This is my 100th post! To celebrate, I have decided to have a giveaway, but there will be more on that later. I just finished a GREAT book. I have a neighbor who loves to read like I do, and we have very similar tastes in books. She lent me "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. It takes place in 12th century England. In the beginning introduces several groups of characters and as the book goes on, you see how all of these characters and their lives intertwine with each other. It was slow in the beginning, but as I got more into it, it was one of those books that I had a really hard time putting down. The neighbor who lent it to me told me that there is a sequel to it! She is reading that right now, and promised that I could borrow it when she is done with it. Hurray! A new book to read! I have not gotten a great deal of stitching done this week. A few stitches here, a few stitches there, but not much more than that. The reason? I had four ornaments that I needed

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 I will probably le

And The Cake Was...

Image
I guess I'm really predictable because someone guessed that my birthday cake was a panda. Hmmm! How did you ever figure that out?? This must be a guy thing because my husband, my oldest son, and my friend's husband all asked me the same thing: are you going to cut the head off first? That poor bear. But he was really tasty! Me, next to the cake: This is my uncle (my later dad's brother) and I was really happy that he, his wife, Debbie, and my Aunt Rosalie (who I did not get a picture of!) were there for the party. They live about 4 hours away, so it was a hike for them to get here, but they came to see me and I was thrilled! This weekend Lazy Daisy is having a Superbowl Sale on Saturday and I was supposed to get together with three of my friends and go shopping there. I have a gift certificate and some birthday money that are just dying to be used. Guess what? We're supposed to get MORE SNOW!!!!! Because we haven't had almost three feet of snow already thi
