I'm back!

Wow!  It's been a looong time since I've posted.  It's like my attempts when I was younger when I would try to be diligent with my diary.  I could never stick with it.  Well, I have a lot of new projects that I completed, and a lot of old ones that I still have not.  Crafter's A.D.D. LOL.  Well, I'm going to work on posting a bunch of my past projects.

Home Sweet Home

Ok, well, I'm back. Unfortunately, I didn't finish the cross-stitching. I WOULD HAVE..... but my sister got me started on other projects. I learned to crochet and I started making her a wrap/shawl/whatever you wanna call it. THAT would have been finished before I left, but the store ran out of the yarn I was using, and then we kept forgetting to go get more. So, do I continue on the cross-stitch after that? NO, I decide to start working on knitting a cat bed for my cats (and ferret). I finished it Tuesday night, found that my sister's cats (especially Sadie) really like it....... I'm still waiting for my cats to decide they like it to. And now I'm working on a second one, because the other one is a bit too small. Yes, my cats are fat-asses. So there we go. I pretty much only have one row on the bottom left of the cross-stitching, and then the whole bottom right to go, but I'm betting it's not going to be done by our mom's bday or Christmas, since I've transitioned to these other projects. We shall see, though.

New Orleans or Bust

Update time! I've just been too lazy lately. I'm getting back in the groove since I'm visiting my sister and I know I need to hand it over so she can do the backstitching. I've actually done even more than this, but I figure I won't take another picture until I've finished the whole corner. I used her camera, so I'm not happy with the coloring of everything. Ah, the joys of sticking it in a scanner. LOL.

Oh, and you so have to see some of my sister's pets. Sadie is the cat. I picked the perfect time to capture her! So funny. And the Great Danes are Nina (Harlequin) and Jasmine (Blue Merle). Right now I'm fighting for a place to lay on my bed as Nina steals my blanket and Jasmine thinks I should be the one curled into a ball instead of her. LOL

New Update

This is going a lot faster than I expected. I'm getting really excited to get to the end :)

I'm on a roll!

I've started on the bottom half and it seems to be going quite quickly. I go square by square, and these are using the same color for a long stretch. It goes a lot faster that way. This progress was maybe 2 and a half days' work. Really, if you go by hours, I would say about 12 hours at the most. (I was watching TV too :P ). I'm blaming my SISTER for the reason the bottom of the border almost ran off the pattern. Yeah, Cristy! I KNEW I should never listen to you when it comes to cross-stitching *snicker*. My scanner is not very big, so I may play with it a little bit as I go on to kinda put the pics together to show how it will look as a whole. Well.... here it is!

New Update

Well, it's been a while, but I finally completed the first half of the project. So many things have been going on in my life. It's nice to feel a sense of accomplishment. Hopefully, I can get myself to do more soon.

Footprints Update

Here's a new picture for the footprints pattern. I would've gotten more done, but I was making last minute projects for the mom and sis-in-law, since we went to visit them last weekend. My sister-in-law is SUPPOSED to e-mail me a picture of the gift I cross-stitched for her, so when I get it I'll post it.
