Finishing Touches

Today I set out to get a few things accomplished. I think I did much better than yesterday considering I spent it spinning my wheels *grin*I started out with a huge pile of stuff that all needed something done to it.First I finished off the Flower Paisley Purse. This one had given me much trouble. I put it together awhile back but never liked the way it looked. So I ripped it apart and added this...

Overdrive

I had another 100-mile-an-hour night last night, you know, the ones where my body can't keep up with my brain and it jumps into hyper overdrive and blasts right on through to the other side...yeah, one of those nights.I'm not sure if I should hate these nights or love them. One thing is definite though, I do have a lot of brain storms on those nights. The ideas just shoot in every direction and I...

Men can stitch

I just had to show you this extraordinary embroidery. Why, you might ask is this particular embroidery so special? Because this is my husbands FIRST piece!! Can you believe that he never did this before? I knew he was observant...and even asked me once if he could try a stitch on one of my pieces but I never thought his first results would be so great. I showed him some pictures recently in the manbroidery...

Still Grey...

I really am starting to think it's a conspiracy! Each day I have class the sun shines so bright and glorious. Then as soon as we have some time off *poof* no sun. Yesterday was spent doing all those drudgerous chores that need to be done every weekend. Grocery shopping being the main one. It was a little more pleasant than usual though as we went shopping with our new friends, the new student in my...

The dust bunnies won...

So I decided to take a quick nap yesterday before I tackled the house. I slept THREE hours. I woke up and felt like a zombie. When D came home from work I was still sleepwalking. I managed to get nothing done at all.Last night I was unable to fall asleep, that'll teach me to nap in the middle of the day. I sat up till 5 am. While I was up I worked on fulling out the face of my moon. I reworked my...

Dust Bunny Revolution

I am home from class finally. Today the professor just seemed to drone on and on. Maybe because I already knew what he was teaching. I only know I am glad to be home, even if it has been taken over by dust bunnies! Today I clean. NO time to sew until its done. I want my house nice and clean for the weekend. Then I can relax to my hearts content. So I am off now to scrub away...I leave you with the...

Stars galore!

So I had to take a break from my sun rays. I love them, really I do. I need a bit of a color change though, so I am focusing my attention down further.Today I make stars, sleepy little stars...

Update

So I promised an update and here it is. I was up half the night last night so I stitched until my eyes grew heavy and finally sweet sleep took me away.Today the sun was bright and the air feels warm.I was able to take some nice shots.I hate when it is grey and all my pictures look flat.My sun is coming along nicely too. A phantasmagoric color surge of a sun peeking over my small world...

Bon Jour!

Hello Everyone, I am quite happy today as I did well on my test! I worried so much over it that I couldn't sleep last night and finally rose at 5 am to study more. My teacher says I am well on my way. That is high praise as far as I'm concerned. I was so exhausted after class that I came home and slept over three hours! My day just slipped away. I can finally breathe easy though and take some time...

No more room at the inn

I'm afraid my brain is occupied. Fully. There is no sewing being done here. My fingers cry out for the needle but I must resist. Today I am busy conjugating verbs. Practicing my French at full roar, as tomorrow is my first test. It isn't the BIG test, it is only the half-way test that the teacher gives to evaluate my progression in the class. I am still nervous. I want to do well. Last night we went...

Dreams

Sometimes I think I want to much. I don't mean material things. I am not a material girl. (that is unless you are talking about ACTUAL material...that doesnt count *hehe*) I just want to DO so much. I swear my mind is constantly flitting off in all directions and reading all the blogs I do doesnt help that one bit. ^__^ I read well over 100 blogs. Some of them I just skim, others I take the time to...

I love surprises!

I have been stitching away at my latest project whenever I get a chance. Things have been so busy lately though. What is it about spring that ties you up in so many ways? I always get that undeniable itch to spring clean and then, of course, the sun is calling to me. Also I am back at class now so that is keeping me busy. My pre-test is Monday so I must study this weekend. Busy, busy busy! I have...

I'm still here

Really I am...Sorry for the short absence. See, my keyboard broke last week. I still havent had the chance to buy one and I keep borrowing my DH's. Well, this weekend he was using the keyboard everytime I went to post so I just kept putting it off...but he is at work now so I stole it *hehe* I really have to go find one somewhere soon!Dear Karen over at Contemporary Embroidery had found some soda...

Rainy day

Well I had a wonderful time last night. Everyone seemed to get along splendidly and even my new student friend showed up. This morning I am a little groggier than usual but not too bad ;)It has been a slow quiet day though. Grey skies and rain, rain, rain.I have spent the day working on Small World and slowly the trees and bushes have fallen into place. The fields are filling with their crops and...

of little trees

Yesterday was a busy, busy day. I spent the whole day cleaning, washing clothes, shopping. All the fun stuff that gets away from you when you go away for a weekend and then have class as soon as you get back home. Well, my house is spic'n'span now ^__^I spent last evening working on the trees in Small World. First I needle felted a whole pile of themThen I placed them on the piece...and now I am working...

The days run by fast...

Hello Everyone! I hope this week is finding you all well. I have had a whirlwind weekend and have barely had time to even look at my project I am working on. Friday I woke up with the 'cold from hell' I didn't let it stop me though and went on to have a wonderful weekend. I had such fun with the family and look at the two beautiful plants they gave me...My MIL also sent this beautiful bouquet home...
