January found me driving to Virginia for the birth of our first grand-baby. Got there in time and was able to get in lots of baby time. He is so amazing 8lbs 12ozs of adorable. It was hard to leave but had to get back to home and work. Left January 4 and returned February 4.<br />

I am having a bit of trouble getting back to work. The tendon in the thumb of my hand is messed up and I can not bend my thumb. I have had a steroid shot that may or may not help. If it does not work I may have to have a surgery to repair it.

I will be leaving at 7 am to fly to NYC to meet up with my tour from there we will be leave for Ireland at 8:50 pm and fly across in the night. I will be bringing many pictures back and tell you all about the trip.<br />
<br />
I have been doing some stitching before I leave. The tour people sent out a package deal, in it was a really nice tote bag the problem is it is a bright orange. To me that is a bit of a faux pas, my father always pounded it into us that orange was the British influence and was frowned upon by the Irish. So I do not want to be carrying around a bag that could offend the locals with that in mind I made myself a nice bag and clutch.<br />

I am doing pretty well. I had my right hand operated on and I am now healing. I thought I was doing really well so went back to work to soon and now I am paying for it. But back home and resting. typing 1 handed...slow.<br />
<br />
I can finally tell you my special news. I am going to be a Grandma for the very first thing. My daughter is expecting in January. She is having a baby boy. I had to wait because she did not announce until she knew what the baby would be.This is her and her friend who is also expecting. <br />

Sewing is easier then stitching I made this bag to add to my Etsy Store. I just love this bee material.<br />

Fires everywhere but so far nothing close to our house or shop. Can't tell you how nice it is to have a CDF Air Tanker station at the airport.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I can not give an update on my wrists as I have not had my appointment yet. I will definitely have an update next time. The finger is still numb and sleeping is uncomfortable, but I am hopeful the surgery can be scheduled quickly.<br />
<br />
I have been doing more sewing then stitching because it is easier on my hands. I have 5 new bags in my Etsy Shop. https://www.etsy.com/shop/UntwistyourStitches?ref=hdr<br />

Unfortunately it is because I am dealing with some medical issues. Both of my hands are having troubles with carpel tunnel. I am doing physical therapy which is not helping and trying to get my insurance to agree to surgery. I know that is the only thing that is going to fix this and the sooner the better. I am having difficulties with the constant numbness in 2 fingers and the tingling in the rest of my hand and wrist. After 6 to 7 years of dealing with the progression of my conditions now it has gotten to the point of doing surgery or loosing some of my feeling permanently.<br />
<br />
I have done a bit of stitching but as you can imagine I am much slower then normal plus I have been doing lots of sewing. I have the final items for the 2nd baby shower gift finished. 1 Baby Bottle insulated bag, 2 bibs, 2 burp clothes and a second changing pad, this one is for the daddy. <br />

Real life is busy busy busy. Can't say much at the moment but big news will be coming in a couple of months. Work is going well and we are staying busy there.Our son has moved back in sorta, he is in between training with his Army Unit and needs a place to drop his stuff in between so he was here for 10 days gone now for 2 weeks will then be back for 8 days and off again for somewhere between 3 to 4 weeks. Then I am not sure so the house is in a bit of an uproar.<br />

I then started on the next Baby Gift Set. This mom-to-be is a huge Harry Potter fan. I found fabric on Fabrics.com called Spellbound and some Harry Potter specific and I have completed the bag. The charms on the pockets are a camera, howling werewolf. and on the clasp to close top is a lightening bolt.<br />

Work is crazy. I have done a full spring cleaning, which included washing walls, taking down all the pictures, carpet cleaning and tiles scrubbing. So this was the month.<br />
<br />
I also got in some stitching and some sewing done. 2 of my daughters very good friends are having babies so I am going to be making some things for them. The first one, mom and dad like fishing so the bibs will have fishing themes. I have made a diaper bag,<br />

This should get me all caught up with where I am and what I have been doing. I still have Christmas Cottage, Death by Cross Stitch and Spring Village in the rotation. I have a very very small start on Zenia with color changes and the 1st bib was started yesterday. Hopefully I wil have an update sooner then next month. Enjoy your stitching and see you soon. <br />

I could have sent another week with these ladies but reality must rear it's ugly head and I have to come back to work. As always the time spent with this group is so inspiring. The talent and variety makes your head spin. I did not get as many pictures as I would have liked because I have been volunteered to be the activity coordinator. This means I am getting less time to stitch and just relax and look at all the projects but it also means I am having more and more fun with organizing fun games to get members to mingle and win prizes.<br />
<br />
This year we had the annual crossword puzzle that had an awesome gift prize. And also a prize for the most creative guesses.<br />

We also had a picture Scavenger hunt. There were 25 picture clues whoever got the most got a prize. And lastly we had 5 small plastic Easter eggs, we would hide them each of the 3 FULL days that we were at the retreat and when they were found each person was able to pick a JBW pattern with a floss inside and a hand-dyed fabric to stitch the pattern on. It was very fun but boy some of those ladies are very competitive....;-) </div>

I did quite well of the 20 I took I sold 12 along with 5 previous bags and 4 wallets.The 8 bags I have left I have added to my Etsy account. I will be making more and adding those and I will be accepting custom orders. I have 3 sizes 13X14, 15X16, and 19X16. <br />

I did not get as much stitched as I had planned. To much to see and appreciate, plus hand out prizes, and this year we organized a gift basket for our Retreat Coordinator. She organizes and schedules these retreat all on her own time without compensation so we collected gift certificates and other small gifts and organized them into 1 big presentation. Yes as the activity coordinator I was the 1 collecting it all to give as 1 large present. And I did not get a picture of the final gift but lets just say it was a fabulous collection. We were 33 participants this year with 3 that had to drop out last minute due to medical situations.<br />

I did get sometime with several of my projects. Spring Village, a Nutcracker, and Death by Cross Stitch. I also worked on the 2004 Christmas Tree Counted Canvas pattern. I am going to continue with that until it is finished since I am so close to the end. <br />

I am not complaining because we need this rain so badly and it is nice to have it. So of the rest of you may not agree with this but here in Cali we can use all we can get.<br />
<br />
My trip was quite nice. Time with the kids is always fun and we went to alot of places, of course the camera on my phone chose to take a powder and I got zero pictures. I will have the kids send me the ones they took but since I have been home I have not had much time. Work is busy!!!!! Yay and I am getting ready for my stitching retreat. Plus I have family members coming for a visit this week. So lots going on. I did get stitching done on the plane and some time in the evenings while waiting for my son.<br />

I have been doing some sewing during my time back. We are putting together a thank you gift for the lady that organizes our retreat. I was handed the job of gathering the gifts because the lady that started this has had to have foot surgery and is unable to complete the task. I made an envelope project bag instead of putting all the gifts into a basket. I also made a needleminder for her. Both have owls because she is a big fan of owls. <br />

<br />
As I told you I was working very hard to finish the Army emblem. I succeeded!!! YAYAYAYAYAAAA The blue lines you see are the waste canvas that I used to stitch this. They will be gone as soon as I finish the square. <br />

I then picked up Spring Village. I would like to get it finished so I can use the table runner this year but I have been pulled in so many directions I do not think it will happen.<br />

I am going to be taking a simple project with me on the trip so I have Mary Poppins kitted up. When I get back I will give an update as to how much I was able to accomplish.<br />

I also have made an envelope bag as a gift for our retreat coordinator. I do not want o post at the moment because she may see it on my blog so I will not ruin the surprise until after our retreat in March.<br />
I received my bag of the month for February. At first I was a bit disappointed because it did not have the traditional hearts but once I got it out and admired it I am quite pleased with the design. It is beautiful and different. The added gift were heart buttons and a heart charm. <br />

We had our monthly stitching meet and as we do every February we had an exchange. It has to be a stitching related gift either supplies or a stitched gift. I gave the bag, magnet, scissors, flosses, pattern, and 1 of my hand dyed fabrics. I received 3 patterns, a needleminder, Thread Heaven, Red Hand dyed floss and note pads with little mice stitching a heart. <br />

Some really exciting news. I saw an advertisement on Facebook for a tour going to Ireland. And I have signed up. A friend may go with me but if not I will just meet some new stitching friends. This is so awesome because my Dad was a full blooded Irishman and I have always wanted to go there and see where we came from. What better way to do it then to have a stitching tour. <br />

I did pretty good on my Stitch from Stash, plus with the tour I am going on in Oct I have some really good incentive to save so when I am over there I can pick up some beautiful treasures. Both stitching and mementos. I have a roll-over from last year and then I did quite well not buying and just enjoying what I have. I did get a couple of patterns and I had to replace some floss but other then that worked on my rotation and stash. Being on the + side of things is always a good thing.<br />

Okay and now to show what I have been working on. I did a bit of experimenting with dyeing my own fabric. It was so much easier then I thought and the colors came out so pretty. Yellow, Pink (the bottle said Red but this is the color it came out), Purple, Green, Blue, Black, Peach and another Blue (this one I let set a bit longer but it is the same bottle as the first 2 Blues. <br />

I have been stitching I am working very hard to finish up the Army Emblem and I had hoped to show you this time but unfortunately I am not quite done. It will have to wait for the next update. I did have a finish, I wanted something to display with my pink elephant from last years finishes. This sweet little guys was what I did. He is suppose to be Green but I made the changes to Pink. I had this pretty fabric in my quilting stash and I just love how it looks together with the bird. Oh it is a Jim Shore pattern. </div>

Unfortunately it did not start very happy. Our 13 year old rescue kitty had to be put down. His kidneys started to fail and it caused an intestinal infection that caused him to be sick and dehydrate. He was such a good boy and it was so sad to have to tel him goodbye, but I could not make him suffer. Part of being a good pet owner is knowing when it is time to let a pet go and do what is best for them.<br />

So enough with the sad. On to the new, I showed you the Bless the Beasts Painted canvas I bought from my LNS the end of October I wanted to maybe pull this out during Christmas but with family and work and baking time got away from me and I did not get to move on this. So the New Year is a time for beginnings and this is going to be an adventure. I picked petite Silk Lame Braid for the sky and I am using the Pavilion stitch. The Moon I used Gold Kreniek Silk Mori and the stitch I used was a satin stitch. The stars in the sky are Mill Hill Glass Seed Beads in gold. I spent 3 days with this and got a large bit of the sky completed before I needed to rotate. I have to work on this at a table and sitting in that position is not comfortable so I will have to work this in between my other projects. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pictures are 1) Full size canvas 2)Work done from last year 3)Work completed this rotation. I set a yard stick across the top of the canvas to give you an idea of the size of this. </div>

Finally I have a few items to share. I joined a Bag of the Month Club. Even though I am a sewer I never seem to make anything for myself so I splurged and joined this. January's bags showed up last week and they are beautiful. I love them and the lady doing the bags added in a few little goodies as a bonus. Hand-dyed floss, a floss ring with decoration and a Charm with the company's name on it. The second thing is I made an order from my favorite on-line Shop. 123Stitch.com. 5 Mill Hill patterns and a super fun Mary Poppins pattern. </div>

I sat down to watch TV with hubby and next thing I know I am woken up by the sound of gunfire across the road. I had fallen asleep about 8:30. Our neighbors across the road had several people over for a party and welcomed the New Year by reenacting the battle of the Alamo. At least that is what is sounded like. 😏<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I forgot to give a final report of my personal Stitch from Stash outcome. I did okay. I wish I could have done a bit better but I did end up with a + my final amount came to $ 87.53 I will be doing a roll over of this amount as I plan to carry on into the 2018 year. I have made a few rules if anyone would like to follow along with me. I am going to reduce my Monthly budget from $25 to $20.</span></span> <br />

1) choose a budget anything from $25 to $0<br />
2) keep track of purchases (an exemption is made for gift certificates,
Birthday money up to $75 dollars, and vacation purchases from shops that you
visit if they are more then 500 miles from your home, only once per year.)<br />
3) keep track of stitching work (be sure to count WIP's as well as finished
pieces. FFO finishing can be give a value if you would like. Taking pictures
can help you calculate the amount of work completed in a month. <br />
4) To calculate credits I start with a full page of a full coverage HAED or
equivalent pattern I give $30 dollars or 1/3 of a page is $10. I would give $4
for a JBW design as they can be completed in 2 to 3 days. So that is the range
of calculations used. </span></b></span><br />

With family, baking, gift making and all the things that December is know for I just never found the time. I think we are back to normal......whatever normal is, now. 😁<br />
<br />
Beings it is the end of the year I wanted to
look back and see what kind of progress I made this year. I felt I had
not really completed much stitching until I went to my files and looked.
Thank goodness I take pictures of all my finishes. <br /> The List: <br /> 8 Mug Rugs with matching napkin (sewing)<br /> 4 Wallets (sewing)<br /> 7 Purses (sewing)<br /> 10 Thread Catcher w/ pin cushion (sewing)<br /> 1 Crocheted Blanket and a second one has been started about 1/3 finished<br /> 1 Counted Canvas"Joy" Embroidery<br />
Autumn Ala Round (cross stitch)<br /> Playing Cards (cross stitch)<br /> Owls w/ Quote (cross stitch)<br /> Lighthouse (cross stitch)<br /> Poof w/shoes (cross stitch)<br /> Snowman Banner (cross stitch) <br /> 10 JBW Designs (cross stitch)<br /> 4 other Miscellaneous Mini's (cross stitch)<br /> 2 Bags Reindeer and Skull (cross stitch)<br /> 1 Wreath (crafting)<br /> 2 Fall Wall Hangings (crafting)<br /> 5 Fall Jar Decorations (crafting)<br /> 7 Christmas Jar Decorations (crafting)<br />
Along with working on HAED Christmas Cottage. Death By Cross Stitch,
Spring Village, Army Emblem, Pumpkin Splendor Table Topper, and
Christmas Tree 2004 Counted Canvas .<br />
I wanted to do a few collages of the list but my collage maker is on the fritz. 🙁Oh well I will work on it and see if I can get it working and try again later.<br />
<br />
Do you make a New Years List/Resolution list of your stitching plans? I do what I cal a soft list. I try to know what I would like to do but if I do not get to it no big deal it just gets moved to the following year. So how did I do I wanted 4 WIPS to be finished only got 3 finished. I did not start my Pixie as I had hoped and only got 1 square for my son started. But I did start and finish 14 projects that are all for me. And my Etsy shop is up but the selling was not as much as I had hoped. All in all it was a good year. Next post I will put my list for 2018. <br />
<br />
We had our annual Stitching Group Christmas party. We do a gift exchange. We pick #'s and then choose from the bags in the order of the numbers. I was # 3. <br />

As mentioned earlier it has been a busy month and not much time for stitching. I only made progress on my HAED Christmas Cottage. And then I had a quick finish with this little reindeer bag. It was a kit with 2 gnomes in red and this deer. <br />

It has been long and frustrating but the wounds have finally stopped leaking and things look so much better. Poor boy, he has been so good with all of this. Now when i get the bandages and cleaning supplies out he hides. I know he is just tired of it all but it does make it longer to get it done when I have to track him down. I did not want the pictures to be too graphic So I took a few at the correct angle. <br />

The Monday after we turned our clocks back my poor puppy was attacked. The animals do not understand the time change, they are used to getting up and going out. We have a system where I go out and check the front yard because of the darkness for critters, mainly skunks as we do not want a situation first thing in the morning. I did this and then I let the boys out they go around the front of the house water all the bushes and then go to an area to poop. I stay on the front porch check the hummingbird feeders and just wait for them to return so we can go in and have breakfast. My boy did not have his collar on this day, as he had a bath the night before and I had not got it back on. This is important because the tags on his collar jingle when he moves so you know where he is. I can only assume, as I did not see the incident but he must have startled the coyote that morning, it was dark, he was silent moving around and they just came upon each other. He never cried out, he never barked, no noise to alert me there was a problem. I went to see what was holding him up and as I came around the corner he was coming back and I could see blood on his neck. I grabbed him up and got him in the house checked the damage and called my vet. Oh course at 10 to 7 they were not open and the closest emergency vet was a 2 hour drive away. My vet would open in 1 hour, so I called the emergency and they walked me through some triage for him and agreed that is was okay to wait for the closer location to open. He has done well with the recovery but of course there were set backs swelling, some infection, no appetite, and stitches not holding. I am happy to say we are past the worst of it and he is no worse for wear but it was a bad week of nursing him and worry. <br />
<br />
I did get some stitching done and it helped me calm down during a trying time. So lets have an update with the WIP's In the last post I mentioned going to my LNS and having a fun time well I did not post pictures of what I worked on that day. I pulled out the counted canvas piece that I was gifted. I have not worked this on some time so it was nice to get it out and put some stitches in.

I also pulled out Death by Cross Stitch from Long Dog Sampler Finished up the boarder along the bottom of the Lion and then found a boarder for the right side of him, the stars and diamonds seem to work well with this. I got it out of the book Cross Stitch Silhouettes by Adele Welsby. And then a bit of a start on the next section. This is fun figuring out the best place for the colors I am working with.</div>

I FFO'd the lighthouse for my daughter. Got material from Joann's that I think really set off the finished stitching, added the charms found some twine in my stash that looked like rope and I looked on the internet for some sailor knots and tied a few to add as embellishments. They may not be correctly done but they work for this situation. I will wrap it up and Christmas present is done.<br />

Finally some Thread Porn. When I was in Virginia for our latest visit I came across some thread that was just gorgeous. A lady at one of the shops was stitching with it. She bought it off of Etsy from a couple in Australia, she gave me the shop name and I could just not resist. I came is a very short amount of time even from Oz and it is beautiful. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sunday my LNS had a come and stitch with us and have some fun. The owners and some of the regulars cooked. There was chili, cornbread, cupcakes, and treats. Each stitcher was able to choose a goodie bag, you got several pieces of candy and also a coupon good for Sunday only with anything from 10 to 50% off. Mine had a 20% coupon. There was also a lottery draw for any in shop canvas $200 or less. I was trying with all my might to be good, but my so called friends kept telling me to get it AND when I asked my hubby what he thought he said if you want it get it. Well my will power was weak and I did it. I bought this canvas of Santa. I love his look and the animals and oh just everything about him. He is a painted canvas by Sandra Gilmore called Bless the Beasts, it is going to be massive as it is 28X22 but I can not wait to get started. <br />

Since returning home I have done some catch up stitching. I have 1/2 of Pumpkin Splendor complete. That is my table topper. I finished the Antique Shop on my Spring Village by Stoney Creek. It is so awesome to see patterns come to life when you get the BS added. The only difference from the 2 pictures of the shop is I added the backstitching. Loving it. <br />

The weather was good for the most part. HUMIDITY But it was great to see the kids. Went and explored the area........so much fabulous AMERICAN History on the east coast and especially this area. Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Kitty Hawk, Cape Hatteras, Fort Raleigh and the Roanoke Aquarium. So much to soak in and we could have seen even more with more time.<br />
So Williamsburg this is what they cal the Governor's Palace then the colony commons and there was the Ox drawn Cart<br />

For the week end we traveled to what they cal the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Of course we could not pass by Kitty Hawk without stopping. If it were not for Orville and Wilbur we would not be have the business we do. The Monument to then is at the op of a small berm and looks over this beautiful field. And a nice area with cast iron statues depicting the historic event.<br />

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is the tallest Brick lighthouse in the US and the 2nd tallest in the world. We walked up and had a look around. Glad is was a cool day or else not sure it would have been quite the same.<br />

Moved on to Roanoke Island were the Lost Colony was established. There is another museum we visited that gives lots of information and has artifacts they have recovered and a gorgeous botanical gardens. Named the Elizabethan Gardens this statue of Queen Elizabeth greets you as you explore 16 acres of flowers, trees, plants and birds and butterflies. Beautiful even this late in the seasons.<br />

And finally the aquarium all local species next to the bay. At first we thought this white alligator was a statue but then one of the employees explained no he is really. He is not a true albino as he has some pigmentation just not alot. I do not recall the name they said but regardless he was a bit creepy. <br />

Of course I have many more pictures but this gives you an idea of the trip. I actually took 2 projects to work on, I was not sure how much time I would have but I knew the flight would be some time. I did well and worked the shoes on to this piece to compliment the hat I had stitched last year. The shoe was a freebie from the Sullivan Threads site last year.<br />

I found 2 Stitching shops One in Virginia Beach named Dyeing to Stitch, what a great little shop the ladies were very friendly and welcoming. I got several patterns and threads from them and spent a good hour just looking around and visiting. The other shop was in the Williamsburg area and I was looking forward to visiting as the reviews and recommendations I had received made it sound wonderful. It was called Haus Tirol-Stitching Well I must say I was very disappointed. The store was larger but the variety of charts and fabric was much less then the other store and not nearly as welcoming. We were not greeted at all, even though when we first came in the store was empty. I was looking through the fabric because I wanted to buy a piece for an up coming project I have in mind and had decided that I would get it from them as a fun thing as a memento. I found a piece I liked but it was not the right size so I had to track down an employee and asked if they had any larger pieces. She said they had pieces they could count and what size would I need I told her and she huffed over to some drawers behind the counter. They did not have that color so she asked what I was going to use it for, I showed her the pattern and she immediately tells me that the fabric I chose is not good for that pattern. She would never stitch it on that color and how a better color would be darker and on and on. She then pulled 3 colors she said she liked for the pattern and asked which one I wanted. I did not like any of them and when I told her that she huffed at me again. I said it was ok that they did not have the fabric I wanted I would just have to try to get it elsewhere. She did not like that at all she said she could order some and made several other suggestions on colors and I just said no thank you I would find what I wanted later. That really put her nose out and she said well if you really want that piece I could order it for you. I said no I am from out of state and only stopped in because they were recommended and I thought it would be nice to buy it but since it was not available I would figure it out and I left. I get that shops like to help with fabric choices and all but to tell some one they should not use that color because that person does not like it I find rude. So I did not buy any from that shop and I made a second trip to the first shop and gave them more of my business. First picture is the pattern with the fabric I will use to stitch them al are gifts for my daughter. Next is a pattern with the over-dye threads I will use to stitch it. 3rd picture the fabric I wanted for the pattern that the lady told me was not a good option. 4th 3 patterns that will be worked up for myself. And finally some pretty over-dye thread and a pattern booklet of smalls for Halloween. <br />

I mentioned in a previous post I was doing a self "Stitch from Stash" with the patterns and fabric I bought on vacation you might think I had a major fail. Well here is my thought, these are not things I would have bought if I had not gone on vacation so I am giving my self an exemption. I traveled more then 500 miles from home with I will not do on a month to month basis so those purchases that I made at a physical store I am not going to count against my accounting. However for September I did buy a few things online that I must account for and I also bought from my LNS that also count. At the Start of September I had $21.68 rollover I bought patterns, fabric and thread for a project hubby asked me to stitch for him (and a couple extra I had been watching) wink wink.... that came to$188.15. I had finishes and progress on WIP's that came to $44.00 and the $25.00 that I get for each month. After all the adding and subtracting I come to -$97.47 Al in al it was a bad month for staying in budget. I hope to do much better in October. <br />
<br />
Well if you made it all the way to the end good for you. This has been quite a long post. I hope you enjoyed my ramblings and I will catch you latter this month hopefully. <br />

The colors of the changing leaves, the smells of spice and warm meals, the anticipation of all the holidays, the cooler weather. It is just a perfect time as far as I am concerned.<br />
<br />
This will have to be my September/October post as we are going to fly out and see our kids. I will have internet but I will be enjoying the east coast so not much time to post on the blog.<br />
<br />
It has been a better time since last post. My health is better so it is easier to pick up my stitching. Hockey pre-season has started which is awesome and College football on Saturdays. What a great time.<br />
<br />
I was able to get an FFO on my counted canvas piece. I have been looking for the perfect way to finish it and I think I found it. I got a wood stand from Michael's and I had fabric, trim and a decorative topper that really sets it off well.<br />

I also worked on a few of my other WIPS The Death by Cross Stitch Sampler is still a favorite and it is hard at times to rotate from it. his time I filled in the area in the center. I have modified it because of my peacock modification. I am only putting in 1 of the Lions I have changed the tail, the area around his mouth and instead of the Letters in each of the upper corners I made up a lock and key for that part of the design. When it comes back into rotation I will find a boarder pattern for the right side. <br />

I also worked on the Army Emblem for my son's quilt and the table topper with the pumpkin silhouettes. On the flags all of the white is stitched. It is hard to tell when working on white fabric, what I do is stitch all of the colors that surround it and then just fill in the white. There is a lot of gold to come and then the back stitching to give it definition. </div>

This weekend we had 121 0n Friday, 134 on Saturday, 107 on Sunday and 96 on Monday. It has not been fun in anyway, the poor puppies were not happy. I took them in 3 times and sprayed them with water to cool them down and make things easier Saturday, Friday and Sunday and Monday they got sprayed once in the morning and again in the early evening. We do not have air conditioning in the house and until this weekend I did not care. So as you can probably imagine I did not get any stitching in, it was too hot to even attempt it. That means this will be a pretty short update.<br />
<br />
The weekend before last I had a BBQ for friends to celebrate the end of summer. It was fun except for the fact that I was having chest pains the whole time. I thought my hiatal hernia was flaring up, Sunday was similar so Monday I got in with my doctor and she thinks it might have been a heart condition. I do have a family history for heart attacks. I was then sent to a cardiologist and she is going to have me do a few test to see what is going on. Both doctors read me the riot act about not going to the hospital when I was feeling the chest pains.<br />
<br />
Enough with the boo-hooing. I am going to be fine so on to the important stuff, Crafting. I have some FFO's and a couple of updates on my WIP's<br />
<br />
I showed you the finished stitching last update and now I can share the FFO of those 4 smalls. 3 pillows and 1 wall hanging. I love the colors in these.<br />

That is it for stitching on this update with health and heat I have had limited ability to stitch and I really miss the joy that it gives me on a day to day basis.<br />
<br />
I am doing a personal Stitch from Stash Challenge. I had signed up with a Facebook group. It was just going to be a fun thing to try to get me to look in my stash and do some of the patterns I have bought instead of buying new stuff. Well it got really discouraging. The way the moderator has set-up the rules people were getting more credit for finishing a Lizzie Kate pattern then a person who was stitching a full coverage page such as a HAED or a Atesy pattern. How is that even remotely fair. I questioned her in a private message and she said in her eyes it is a fair system. As I said it was just suppose to be a fun effort but it really struck me as crazy to say a full coverage was not as challenging as a more simple pattern such as Prairie Schooler or Lizzie Kate. I told her thanks for the chance to join but it was not my idea of fair so I left. I did not air any of my discontent on the open forum as I feel that is rude. I went in with my expectations and that was not how it came about. That is my bad, I should have researched the rules better. So I am still following the basic rules I have a budget of $25 each month for new threads, fabric or patterns and I get a credit for the amount of stitching I finish each month. It is not a scientific formula it is just a basic I stitched about this many stitches so that is about this much credit. I keep track of purchases and have a spread sheet. After 2 months of following this challenge I am at a + $21.68 I would have wished for a better result but the purchase of the Halloween table topper and fabric set me back. Plus I have bought several new over dye threads. At least I am still in the positive balance so hopefully I can stop spending and just stitch what I have. I am thinking of starting a Stitch from Stash Challenge the first of 2018 and maybe have a check in and prize give away. It could be fun but I would have to figure out how the check in would work. <br />

Yep we had cloud cover until well past the eclipse time. It did not clear off until 1:30pm PST. Oh well i am sure I will see a ton of pictures all over Facebook so, <a class="word" href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=come%20si%2C%20come%20sa" name="7230559">come si, come sa</a><br />

<br />
Now on to the stitching news. I am loving these JBW designs I have small finishes all over the place. They are adorable and quick. 3 more stitched and I hope to have them FFO'ed this week. These pictures do not show the fabric color well at all. The butterfly, basket of flowers and the leaf are all done on a hand-dyed dark blue called Herald and the umbrella is a nice light blue/green with sparkle. 18 count.<br />

In my last post I told you I was going to start a new project that day. It is a Halloween table topper. The fabric is 25 count Colmar-Carre Limegreen gingham and I am working over 2 with 3 strands of DMC Black.The pattern is from Zwiegert magazine "at home with Needlework". I chose to use limegreen because most of my Halloween decorations are green.</div>

I also had a commissioned bag to sew for a friend. It is for a bee keeper who sells his honey at local farmers markets. Such a fun project as the fabric was cute. <br />

Puppy is doing well and no ill effects from his resent change. He was back to running around crazy with in 2 days. You are suppose to keep them calm for a week to let the healing complete. Anyone who knows terriers will understand how hard that is. Hyper dogs.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the end of summer and those of you with kids or who yourself are back in school be careful and study hard!!!!!!<br />

July just flew by and I only made the 1 post. I sure hope I have a bit more luck in August and can make more then a single.<br />
<br />
I will start out with my finishes, a couple months ago I showed you the blanket that I was working on. It is intended as a gift for a friend at Christmas. It took longer to finish then usually because the heat we are having makes it all but impossible to have that laying on my lap. But it finally cooled off enough for me to finish it up.<br />

I also got 2 small stitches finished and FFO-ed (Fully Finished Object) One a few days after the 4th and the other a couple days after that.The Mini Block Stitches was a pattern with charms that was given to me by a fellow stitcher, she had it in her stash but decided she would never stitch it so passed it along. We do this alot in our stitch group. The cart is a JBW design called French Cart. I had hoped to complete them by the 4th but did not. Oh well no worries, next year they will be ready. <br />

My MPP's (multi-page projects) also have some finishes. The HEAD I have finished page 25. The DBCS (Death by Cross Stitch) I finished about 1 and 1/3 pages. I did this to complete the motif. And finally the Army Emblem I have about a page and 1/2 finished. I am working all 4 pages together so I do not have a single completed page but counting the grid you come up with my 1 1/2 page finish. <br />

Those are all of my finishes. I have a new start. I am working Spring Village from Stoney Creek Designs. I am working it on a poly/blend table runner that I bought at Joann's one time when they were having a sale. I am using waste canvas and all of the floss will be DMC.<br />

I had a bit of fun with some sales items I found at Michael's. I have been looking for a summer decoration that is not 4th of July themed and this fit the bill. Everything was 70% off and I must say I did a pretty nice job of setting it up. </div>

Finally my baby turned 1 on July 31st. And what you may ask did I think was a good present for him.......well he got neutered. I would not have done it to him but the cat was getting a bit paranoid when he walked across he room. So he got the snip. They only had Monday open for the next 3 weeks and I just said well it needs done, birthday or not. He is just fine and happy as ever now but that day he was rather subdued </div>

This picture of my decoration involves 3 of my interest. The crocheted doll, my quilted table topper and my cross stitched pillow.<br />

The heat has gone for now so it has been much nicer to relax and work. Work has been busy and that is always good but I still find time in the evenings to stitch. I have made some nice progress on 3 of my big WIPS. Christmas Cottages page 25 is about 2/3 done. I have another page from Death by Cross Stitch worked and I am moving along well with the Army Crest. </div>

I am still rotating in some JBW Designs but currently I do not have any new finishes.<br />
<br />
Last Tuesday I went with a friend and got a new tattoo. I would never have thought I would get one tat but to now have 2. Wow you just never know what you are going to end up doing. I did this one because I am a crafter I knit, crochet, sew, cross stitch, scrapbook, embroider and some quilting. I choose the design from 4 different pictures and had the artist create this. I am going to add in a crochet hook and a couple of spools but I was pretty much done with all of this in one setting.<br />
