Let it Snow and snow and snow some more!!!

I know its been awhile, but you know...LIFE happens---and so does SNOW and snow is why I've been up since 3:30 am and can't get back to sleep.  I think the thought of losing power has me a bit uneasy, but if it goes out it goes out..not too big of a deal I guess, but again that comfort thing we have become accustomed too!!!

So here is a pic I took at about 6am---almost 5 inches and it is still coming down with lots of sleet

But I have been stitching when I can grab a minute, so I did finish a round robin that was started by the country stitchers on youtube!!!  I have really enjoyed doing this, we started with 4 people in our group, but lost one along the way, so the 3 of us had to do 2 of the blocks ourselves, so I did the bottom 2 blocks on my piece. I so enjoyed getting to know Donna and Mari, they were great stitch mates and maybe we can stitch together again in the future!!! We were supposed to do a primitive theme-I just love mine!!!

So I'm gonna go for now,maybe I can get a bit of sleep and then since I am snowed in, maybe some stitching later, we shall see!!!  And maybe some more snow pics after daylight!!!

Talk again soon,Bonnie!!!

Working, working, working....

Still stitching, but I've been working so much, haven't taken pics of anything much, but hopefully this weekend I'm off work, so I will hopefully get an update or two, we shall see!!!

Talk again soon...Bonnie

July TUSAL

It's TUSAL time already,this year is just flying by.  So glad with a couple of the challenges and things I am in, it has really motivated my stitching, I just hope it continues>>>


So here is my little pile for July and then added to my jar

and a quick little update for a Very Merry Christmas Town By Frosted Pumpkin

Gotta go now--work is waiting

talk again soon---Bonnie

An update or two...

Been trying to get some stitching done since July has gotten here and is really moving pretty fast, August will be here before we know it...

I am stitching along in the 4th annual Tour de Stitches in the Cross Stitch, It's fun! facebook group and its really motivating me to get my stitching out and actually work on it!!!

And I am also stitching in the Christmas in July Sal on facebook as well, an event in Cross Stitch Finish Line!!! 

And-can you believe it-stitching along with the 100 days of HAED group on facebook as well, although not officially!!!

Dog Lessons for People

A Very Merry Christmas Town                                                                                                                   

and my first 100 stitches on Mini Faery Tales from HAED



hopefully I can stitch everyday this week, that's my small goal to start and I hope everyone has a great week!!!

Talk again soon...Bonnie

June WIPocalypse Checkin 2018

Well this will be a quick check in because I sure haven't stitched much this month or in a few months, hopefully that is changing...went back to the ortho Dr. because I still can't close my hand or really grasp things like I should after breaking it, so he says physical therapy for 6 weeks, so we shall see...

But I have stitched a bit...

I pulled out Dog Lessons for People and did a little bit

and as previously posted Into the Jungle

so not a totally wasted month I guess and as far as this month's question about the perfect stitching retreat...I am pretty comfortable with my stitchy space on my couch at home, not sure I could stitch in public---too many distractions!!!

talk again soon...bonnie

TUSAL for June

Not much added to the jar for June, but hopefully I can get back to stitching!!!

talk again soon!!! bonnie...

IHSW for June

So I stitched a bit this weekend, had to work most of the weekend, but I did get a little bit accomplished.  Every little bit does help I suppose. After breaking my hand,I got way behind on everything, including Into the Jungle by Frosted Pumpkin... so here is mine so far!!!

talk again soon...Bonnie

been missing!!!

Yes I know I've been missing again, but this time I have proof of my MIA status.  I fell at work and broke my hand a couple months ago and while it still doesn't close like it should, I am more than ready to stitch- hopefully it will all be ok. We shall see...

Talk again soon...Bonnie

February TUSAL post

Finally getting around to posting my ort jar for February. Not a lot different than January, just haven't been in the stitchy mood again, hope that changes soon, because I sure do have a lot to stitch, we shall see...

  

talk again soon, Bonnie

Part 2...

Quick post about a quick bit of work on part 2...loving these colors>>>>>> 

talk again soon,Bonnie...                                           

Finished...

So I finally finished Mr. Sloth and yes I do need to decide on a first name for him, Mr. makes him sound so grown up and he is too cute to be an adult.  So I will think on this for a bit longer, because part 2 comes out today and if you haven't yet come join us and stitch it with us --Into the Jungle-- by the Frosted Pumpkin...

talk again soon...Bonnie

WIPocalypse check in>>>>

Well I had hoped to have more progress this month,but a little works too I guess and it would probably be a good thing if I had worked on the ones below that I had listed for this sal, but the only one that got attention has been--into the jungle--and that is ok too...I suppose.


Anyway we are supposed to list the sals that we are taking part in this year and if we are going to do the Olympic Stitching challenge and goals we have...


Besides wipocalypse and the -into the jungle- I think thats it, but I may be open to suggestions---too easy to get sucked in...

And if I do the Olympic challenge, I will probably do the Rotation Relay!!!

And as for goals,  I plan to put my threads back on bobbins and out of the bags they are in now and I just want to get things straightened out so I know what I have---I hate to get lost when I go in my craft room,lol...

Progress thus far...

talk again soon...Bonnie

IHSW--January

Didn't get to stitch  a lot this weekend for IHSW, I had to do that thing called work. I started the frosted pumpkin's---into the jungle sal---so I do have progress and here it is

talk again soon!!!Bonnie

January TUSAL

Just a bit late posting TUSAL, but I was a bit ashamed that I haven't stitched more and therefore would have more threads, anyway I wanted to start fresh so this is it...

  

talk again soon...Bonnie 

snow day--stitchy day--well NO!!!

Well you would have thought that with a surprise day off because of the snow...that I would have gotten lots of stitching done.  But NO, not one stitch did I do!!!  But it will be ok,today is another day and after work, I will give it my best shot!!!

Until then, just a couple pictures for your enjoyment!!!!

Talk again soon!!! Bonnie

WIPocalypse 2018

WIPocalypse 2018

January 7 --  introduction and goals for the year


Well I'm Bonnie and I love to cross stitch and craft and of course I love to read. Been married for 33 yrs and I have one daughter and 2 grand-dogs. My other fave thing to do is cuddle with my black lab,shes a big ole girl-all 65 lbs of her. And I work full time as a retail supervisor and I pretty much love my job......


And as for goals, I would love to finish a few of what I've started and pretty much just stitch from my stash this year, we will see how that goes......

A few that I really want to focus on------

Sunbonnet Sue sal by Lesley Teare, just started today--

Canadian Sampler by Stitchrovia

Monopoly

Dog Lessons

Snow Days


All I'm gonna list for now, because I really want to get these done!!!
talk again soon,Bonnie

things are heating up...a little

Yessss! we are supposed to get to 35 today, almost time to break out the short britches..haha, just kidding, I don't even wear shorts anymore,,, In fact I prefer colder weather, I don't care for summer time, although most of my family does---but its ok,, cause everyone likes what they like!!!

Enough of the weather update,but I had a few minutes before work today, so I started the Sunbonnet Sue sal by Lesley Teare. I think I'm gonna really like this one, Sunbonnet Sue is a favorite thing of my moms so I hope to finish this sal. So I have only had time to stitch the border, so I though I would post a pic!!!  January Sue or Sam???

I'm off work tomorrow so I hope I have a good stitchy day, talk again soon...Bonnie

No Excuse...well maybe a small one...

It truly has been a long time,but I miss reading the blogs that everyone still shares and I need to get better about this myself, so I am going to give it another shot.  I have had some issues with my eyes though, so that has prevented stitching to some extent, but hopefully that is a bit better, anyway lets get this party started!!!

It is really cold here in NC, I think it was supposed to get down to 12 last night, didn't stay out to test that theory though.  I am off work today so I decided to get caught up on blogs and sites that I have neglected and maybe stitch a bit too!!!

I started the Canadian Sampler by Stitchrovia, I have loved this since I saw Pam Reid stitching it on you tube and since my

husband is part Canadian, I just wanted to stitch it. So here we go, I know its a small start,but its a start, talk again soon!!!
