OKay, I think..maybe, i've got this thing customized!! I'm finally playing with it! Let me know what you think!

Today is an off day. I hope to get some stitches into Tinsel Tapestry tonight. I think this will be the last time I "schedule" gifts of stitching. The pressure is just too much !

DH's Father is home!! :)

I put a few more stitches into Tinsel Tapestry for now. I am hoping to get more done, but our toilet apparently backed up *sighs* Ya know, I liked it when I was renting. I could just call someone to fix this stuff!! :)

I also noticed the more I try to organize my stash, the more stash I find!! What is it doing, breeding???? sheesh... the fat quarters get together and spawn 13x18 cuts of fabric ? Where's the control??

More later!

Goodness!! I have Got to try and write in this much more often!

First things first, DH's father is doing EVER so much better. He is coming home from the hospital in 2 or 3 days!

I finished the Friendship Collaboration, but haven't taken a picture of it yet :) It looks really well. I need to get the bellpull hardware and ship it off to Sherrin from the TWBB to get finished. She did some other stuff for me that I adore! I've started Tinsel Tapestry from Just Nan as a gift. I know why I don't do these gift things usually. The pressure to finish is enormous!!
I have this, a cherub for my mom, a small DD thing for DH's sister, and a small Shaker type thing for DH's brother & his girlfriend. ALl small things, but sheesh!

well DH is gone now until Sunday nite. blech, I never do well when he's not here. And with about 30 days now till we get officially married, I'm even more skittish. But His father is doing better :)

Because my mood has been awful, I haven't even *touched* a needle! *sighs* I have tons I could be working on, a couple could be finished! But I think I"m too wound up to stitch, if that makes sense ?

I'm feeling pretty lost today, I'm sure you can tell.

Sometimes I sit down to stitch and feel like the effort isn't worth it! I'm an hour at most away from finishing a gift, Friendship Collaboration from Shepherd's Bush, Charland Designs & Just Nan. So I sit, and look for my skein of 643 (more on this later) and it's gone. *sighs* I only have to do the top half of my over one verse near the bottom. So, okay~go look to see if there's morein my stash. Nope, no luck. So I open up my DMC card, and IT says 643 doesn't exist!! Now I have NO clue what I used *sighs*. So it's on hold to finish until I match a color.

My mom has been whining I"ve not done anything for her, so I'm going to try and whip out one of Mirabilia's cherubs for her for Christmas. We'll see if I get it done.

The news on DH's father just keeps getting worse. I've sent flowers, now that I know his ICU room allows them. There's nothing else I can do and that is so frustrating. Off to try and do *something* in this house or stitch or something.

Okay, I'm slowly figuring out this whole thing. I don't know any of the ways to make this look snazzy :( Guess plain will have to suit.

I'm getting so frustrated. I can't finish my Friendship Collaboration ( a gift) because I can't find my one skein of thread. For those who know me this shouldn't be a surprise. I"m not the most organized. But this one isn't my fault :( Everyone in my family just tosses my stuff everywhere. If it's mine, it's not important obviously.

DH is having worries/issues about his Dad. I should be more understanding. But I have to go without him for 5 days this week. He's going to Ohio. And I, with my deep-rooted fear of being alone will have to stay in a house that the front door doesn't even latch, several miles from anyone in a wooded lot with no lights. Yeah. This should be fun.

Well upwards, and onward. I'm going to have to find something else to stitch on today *sighs*

Have a good day ya'll!

Okay so I've been reading other blogs, and enjoying them and thought "well maybe I should do that?". So here I am, preparing to bare my soul.. or is that stash ? :)

I don't know much about this blog stuff, so this is shooting from the hip for me. Be patient eh ?

Cross Stitch is an obsession of mine. It's the most relaxing thing I do, and as someone who hasn't ever accomplished much in her life, it's something concrete that I'm good at, I enjoy, and isn't a self-destructive pattern :)

My stash could probably rival some needlework shops for content, and inventorying it for here will be a good excuse for me to find out just what I've got! ;) But we can't tell the Man!! :)
