Can you believe it's May already? Time is just flying by this year. I got my first orchid! I'm not sure what kind it is but the coloring is gorgeous! I've always wanted one!


Since I finished my RR I picked up Stargazer while I wait for the next RR.

Spring has sprung & things are getting busy! The kids baseball & softball is really starting to go with games starting next week. (Just got schedules yesterday.) Have started weeding & landscaping the front yard. Got some new lights & a couple of rose bushes.

I finished Queen of Freedom for Measi on the Mira RR. She looks gorgeous but the cording was a pita!

Her whole piece looks like this so far:

Andie finished her star on my RR! It looks great! I am so excited can't wait to get mine back in December!

I picked up Stargazer to work on until the next RR arrives.

Sorry it's been awhile since my last post. I was having some anxiety issues & had to get my medication changed as it was giving me the shakes. Since my last post quite a lot has happened. Baseball season has started. Both kids are playing so they are keeping us busy.

I've been working on Queen of Freedom for the Mira RR. I had some issues with her over the weekend. But here she is so far.

Chatelaine Easter Freebie HD

I just finished Martina's Easter Bunny freebie. It's stitched on 28 ct linen SMF Butterflies. I changed the black stitches around the frame to dark pink. I'm going to finish it by putting it on top of a jewelry box for my daughter for Easter. Thanks for looking!

I think I'm stuck

I'm trying to decide what to stitch DSOTM's Pirate Queen on. I have Galaxy: and Midsummer: . However I also like Big Bang: Fireworks: Heroic: Solar: and Summer:. I think I'm leaning more between Firewok & Solar.

Poppy Finished

I put the last beads on Poppy this afternoon! That finishes my first pattern for the Mira RR 2011. This is for Rachel's piece.

Here is her whole piece so far:

Now I'm going to get some more stitches put into Stargazer before the PR sal with EF on Yuku from March 21-25. Next I get Kathy's piece which is Queen's (I believe) so I have to decide which one I want to stitch for her.

Well, the kids haven't had much school in the last 2 weeks. They had the Friday before President's Day off for "Conferences". However both of the kids schools do conferences in the evening on the day for interim. Last Monday they were off for President's Day. They ended up with a snow day on Tuesday. Finally went back to school for Wednesday & Thursday only to end up with another snow day on Friday. Kids had school today & yesterday but are off tomorrow for a teacher in-service day.

Last week was a PR sal on the EF board. I got a lot of stitching done on last week. She is actually pretty quick stitch. I was worried after putting down Dawn. Part of me is torn as to what to stitch on after I finish my RR. Here's my progress from last week:


Now I'm working on my RR. Hoping to have it finished by the end of the weekend.
