WIPs

Anthony's thyroid is barely working, one side is enlarged. As a result, he is having seizures (3 yesterday with 2 being an hour long) because his body isn't absorbing enough of the meds. I was supposed to have foot surgery today but have postponed it until April 14th due to my son's medical issues.

I've been stitching on the Castles in the Air and am actually caught up.  I also decided to change all the beads our for others and have finished up to Part 9...now to wait on the next section.

Oh and I bought my first laptop last Friday! Walmart had an awesome deal on an emachine for $297!!!  It is not a netbook either. It has more memory then my computer @ work. I'm loving being on the comfy cough and internet too!!

Here are close ups of Part 9

I haven't worked on the Pansy Sampler SAL in awhile. I got ahead and then didn't know what to do. I believe that everyone may have moved on to other projects. I may try to figure out some of the directions this weekend.

A Small Update

This is only a small update and the pics are not up to date.  I haven't posted in so long!!!

Last night was the ASSET Christmas Party.  Santa gave Anthony a Nerf gun double pack.  He was too busy taking them out of the package to look up for a pic.

This little boy following Anthony was his shadow for quite some time.  You can't tell in the pic, but Anthony has both guns in hand and would shoot them at the wall. Next to Anthony is my friend Denise's son Bradley.

Part 4 Finished!!

I noticed I made a mistake (hard to belive I know lol) the beading on the left side was wrong and the beads were the wrong color on the fountain.

I have stitched more than this but maybe I havn't taken a more recent photo.  I have it all stitched and even cut and pulled the threads out.  I promised someone in the group that I'd post one. I will take one tonight and update again.  I am not at the 'waiting stage' as I wait for others to catch up so that the true hardanger part is done correctly!

There was an update to blogger.  Not sure if that has anything to do with my pics loading sideways now.  This is a SAL in the I Love Cross Stitch Hardanger Group.

Cross Stitching items, Exchanges and SALs

I in a Stitch A Long (SAL) and I can't recall which group....need to look that up. I was working good on it, but had to put it aside to work on some Christmas presents.

This is the latest picture: Well I can't seem to make the picture go the right way..I've also stitched more not I realize so a new pic needs to be taken.

This is the box of goodies that was sent to my Chatty Stitching Exchagers Adevent Exchange Partner, Joy Wortham in Newnan, GA.

These are my goodies under the tree from Joy Wortham in Newnan, GA in the CSE Advent Exchange. I love the snowflake wrapping paper and look at the cute tin and boxes!!! My gifts have been great too!! I will be posting pics of these soon also.

And here we have the 12 Days of Christmas items in the I Love Cross Stitch Yahoo Group. These items were sent to Val Stocker in Oakhurst, CA. I wanted to send myself to CA along wth the items but the post office wouldn't take me! lol

This is a close up of the Day 12 revealing item that should be opened today!

This is a Thanksgiving Sampler piece...it has been filed in the WIP drawer to be finished for next year. This isn't the latest memory card because there are leaves above the Let Us Give Thanks that I've stitched.

I also have been working on a stitched Christmas card that I hope to finish and mail very soon, a few ornaments that are to be given away as gifts so I cna't post these yet, but will.
