Sunday !!

Ok I wasn't going to update but I had to share lol. I ended up getting extremely bored of working on elfland. Just something about it made me not really feel like working on it so I switched it to my Mirabilia called Mermaid of the Pearls. I am looking forward to it getting completed. So here are two pictures of Mermaid of the Pearls. Here is a close up of where I was working on. Sorry it is so wrinkly as I hold it in hand.Another picture I wanted to show you is the new puppy. His name is Max and he is a Black Lab crossed with a Nose Pointer. He is extremely smart and sweet. Just have to still get him out of his bitting phase lol. As I said in my previous post I am leaving on Wednesday for Winnipeg. I'm going ahead with my original plans and moving on with my life. This needs to be done. I cannot wait to get a place a job and settled wish me luck :)

Anyways back to my stitching I decided to switch back to Advice from a Caterpillar. My Goals for August are posted on my blog on the left hand side. Have a great week

Wow

Wouldn't you know it two weeks in a row I updated lol. Mind you I am a couple days late. Just was really tired from work on Thursday and when I got home from work on Friday it was dark so I just left it for today. A lot has been going on here lately we are trying to get that basement cleaned up so I can move down there and then I'll have my very own space. It has been really hot here lately up to the Mid 80's I know it isn't hot for some of you but when you don't normally get this hot usually stays in the 70's which is nice it is different.

I have been trying to think of what I want to do with my life and which direction I want it to take and to be honest I'm stumped. I would love to go back to school but I'd also love to have my own business but we shall see. I have however figured out what I will be stitching come January 1st and I'm not usually that organized. I will put a list up in my blog when I get it all written down. As for my stitching I have decided to rotate only 3 projects until I can get them completed and then I will be replacing them with ones I have on the go. I have figured life is way to short not to get some finishes up on my wall.

So for stitching this week I have decided to work on Monopoly. I was going to work on the Chatelaine but as it's been hot I really do not want the oils in my hands to transfer to those beautiful silks. Plus it's easier to wash monopoly lol. I told my idea on how I want to frame it to my daughter's father and he agrees that it will look amazing :) The area I worked on this week was Electric Avenue, St. Charles Place, Marvin Gardens and Go To Jail. I would of gotten the last square done if it wasn't for the fact I played a little wow. I have decided to put a time limit on my Wow playing so I can get my stitching done lol. Here is the pictures of Monopoly.

So not to bad progress on Monopoly. I work on it again on the 30th of July to the 5th of August.

So this week will be Elfland I hope to have it finished either this week or the next time I pick it up. Here is where I left of. I am now on the last page of this one.

Well that's my update for this week. I hope you all enjoy it as I enjoyed stitching :) Stay tune to this blog for some up and coming giveaways as I went through some of my stash.

Hugs

The First chart Which is Dream a Little Dream goes to Kathy A and the second winner of te Britty Cup Kitties is Carolyn NC I will email you ladies to get your address' and whne I find where I put the charts I will mail them too you as I put them in a safe place as I was getting my bed moved into my room. Now onto my stitching update. This week was a rough stitching week cause my rotation was getting boring. I did stitch on 3 things. I stitched on Witchy Washy. Here is a picture of where I have gotten:

I also stitched on Oriental Courage. I did get a lot of black done still have quiet a bit to go here is the picture for that:

The week before I forgot to take a picture of my Chatelaine well here it is: All I have left on this is the half stitches in the coral and then only 3 more fish.

I got bored of stitching the Chatelaine and everything else so I started something new. I started HAED's Advice From a Caterpillar by Scott Gustafson. I had so screwed up when I started it the first time so I started over. It wasn't much but it's all good. So now I have been working on this since the 10th of March and have completed a lot. I am doing the UFO/SWIP SAL on the HAED board I have till Friday to work on it but I'm enjoying it so much I may keep going but we shall see. Here is where I started on this design for Friday: And this is where I am at right now so far: So I will keep going on this design.

As for the job front I am suppose to be in an orientation tomorrow but I did not receive any phone calls. So I talked to my daughter's father and he said just show up and see what they say as I cannot get a hold of the person who will be my manager. So that is what I will do. I will let you all know how it is going.

Happy Stitching
