Update and Winner

I want to thank all of you for all your wonderful comments and a lot of interesting charts definitely were on everyones wishlist. I will have the winner for you at the end of this post.

Well we have received a lot of snow in the last 24 hours. I know you all are thinking well you live in Canada its suppose to be like that. And it is freezing currently we are at 9 F/-13C. Let me tell you it is a bit of a shocker to the system still lol. I have a video for you all to watch of my dog Thor playing in the snow

Also here is some pictures of what it looks like at the moment And it is still snowing here at the moment. We are suppose to have snow all week.

For my stitching I am still working on Monopoly. I didn`t feel I got a lot done but in reality I did as all I did all weekend when I was off was pretty much sleep so here is what it looks like now.

I am hopping that I will be done this in 2 weeks then I can move onto my HAED as that is my next project to stitch.

Now without waiting any longer the winner of my contest is Terri aka Bronzemom. She will be getting the chart Quaker Alphabet by La D Da and a few extras. Here is her site Confessions of a Stitch Wraith

Thank again for all your well wishes and reading my blog. Also adding there is a contest here At Shelley's Artsy Fartsy Life

Hugs

Terri

Monday Madness

Wow last week went so fast. I only had one day off last week and gosh I'm tired. I didn't do much stitching at all. But I did finish the pacific square on monopoly. I am almost done Connecticut Avenue. I am looking forward to getting this done. Here is the pictures of Monopoly

I did have a good weekend however a bunch of us went to Ranchmans it was a lot of fun and we all plan on going again. They have a mechanical bull there and two of my friends rode the Bull lol. I'll probably do it next time.

Happy Halloween :) Stitching Update and Contest

What a wonderful day this is for me. It is Samhain which is classified as a New Year. I love today as everything seems perfect. I'm not big into the trick or treating. I do love the costumes the kids wear as a lot of them look so cute and there is a lot of thought into them. My daughters were no exception to the rule. First I'll show you a picture of my Biological Daughter. She did all her own make up and that I'm proud of. They were able to wear their costumes to school on Friday. This is what my other Daughter *my daughter's best friend that lives with us* dressed up as. They had a great time. I actually did her make up as it was easier for me. She bought that black stuff that goes around the eyes but my daughter had black eyeshadow so I used that instead and it turned out a lot better.

Now for stitching. I have been working on Monopoly this week again and like I said will continue working on it until I get bored or finish it. Well I finished another square this week. I finished Just visiting/In Jail. I am glad to get that done. I really hated the backstitching on that square but it's done lol. Here is a picture of the square and of it overall. Another one I didn't show you that I stitched a while ago is Oriental Courage. I actually finished the dragon part of the design. Here is where I stopped on it.

Now for the contest. You have until November 16th to enter. I will put until then as I'll add my daughter's Sweet 16 into the draw. She turns 16 on November 15th. So that gives you 2 weeks. You can mention about it on your blog. What I need from you. List One chart, it has to be a current Chart not an out of print chart, on your MUST WANT wishlist and put it in your comment post. You have to include the designer as I need to know who the designer is. And that will be the prize that you win. Plus a few little extras too. Which I'm not going to tell you what that part is lol. I love the element of Surprise :) All you need to do to enter is to be a follower of my blog, You can post on your blog about the contest, and comment on this post. That is all you need to do. Good luck to you all :)

And thank all 107 followers for following my blog :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

HI

Hi everyone... Here's a little update on what is going on here. I have not dropped off the face of the earth at all. Just been busy with work. I am working at KFC/Taco Bell and just got promoted to Shift Manager. On my way to an Assistant Manager. I'm looking forward to that. I am slowly getting back to my stitching so will find time to do an update on that soon when I have something worthy to show. I am moving my bedroom to the basement as I need more room to relax in. I have 3/4's of my room moved just need to move more. Kids are all doing good in school having a few issues but that is normal in Highschool. Please send thoughts to my Grandmother she has a nasty cold and I am worried about her as she is not getting any younger. I love that woman more than anything and is a great roll model for me and my daughter to follow. I am trying to get caught up with blogs again and will get there eventually. You will all hear from me before Halloween lol.
