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

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...

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!!!!

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!!!
