Some More Chatter and Finishes

   I've been stitching away on my newest project - I will reveal it soon ;) I want to work up to my other finishes in order before getting to this one, but I feel like it's worth the wait -  lol.

   I stayed up wayyyy to late last night, or should I say this morning. I didn't go to bed until 2 am. I stitched til a little before midnight, and then the hubby turned the TV remote over and I watched some of my Sunday night shows that was DVR'ed. I watch The Walking Dead and the season finale of The Strain. The Strain was really good, and The Walking Dead was much better on the nerves than last week's episode. I do love to watch (listen to, while occasionally glancing up) when stitching. Jeremy Wade's River Monsters or Hoarder's. I don't know why but I like to watch them from the DVR recordings. Then other times I like the house quite. I am curious as to what you all like to watch, listen to, or silence while stitching?

   Also me and my son went to a new restaurant that opened up over the weekend in the area. The Walhburgers opened up at Broadway At The Beach in Myrtle Beach this past weekend. My son's ate there on Sat., and came home telling me how good it was, so me and Cody went there and it was very good. 

   Back to the stitching that I have been doing over the last several months... 

   This one as you can see from the photo I finished on Aug. 19th. I stitched it up in 8 days. I love it so much. It was a Marjolein Bastin design. Still need to wash it and frame it - if that is what I am going to do with it... I am so bad at finishing things into FFO's :/ 

   

    The next two are from the 25 Christmas ornaments kit from the kit that I showed from my last post. They won't all get done this year, or finished for that matter this year, but hopefully next year :)

   I still have 3 more finishes to share and my current project, but I feel like the next one should have a post all on it's own - and not to mention that I need to iron it from washing it the week before. It was a labor of love <3

   So hopefully I will be back again tomorrow with that post. Also onto YouTube I have a "How To" filmed and waiting to do a little editing since the first of Aug. but I have yet to get it uploaded. I am wanting to get back to making Floss Tube videos, and hope to have an update one filmed this week.

Hope everyone is stitching away :)

It's Been Awhile - Life Happens Plus a Hurricane!

   Well it's been since the first of August that I have made a blog post (or a YouTube video for that matter). Life has happened - as it does for all of us - and Hurricane Matthew hit us pretty good, but not as bad as some were, even in our area.

   I have been stitching quite a bit and have some finishes. I may not get to all of them in this post, as I want to get back to stitching tonight...lol :) Three days ago I started a new project that I had been wanting to start for a long while.

The middle of August it was time to worry with back to school for my girls. Then on my son's 21st birthday on the way to his birthday dinner with all of us, he was in a car accident and totaled his girlfriends car he was driving (no drinking and driving was invlolved!). Then in Sept. and Oct. I was taking my one daughter to alot of doctor appt.'s and a medical test. Then Hurricane Matthew hit us here in SC pretty darn good! We live about 25 miles from the coast. We lost some trees - a pretty big chunk off my really big Bradford Pear tree right in front of my porch, and the power went out, but we luckily had a generator. Alot of people living near the ocean and then the ones close to the rivers lost alot. So the damage we had was small compared to what some families lost - everything!

Here is a few pics from the damage to my big tree damage, and hubby doing clean-up.

   Onto stitching news - I started working on this kit of  25 small Christmas ornaments. I stitch one when I need a break from my bigger projects, and I can get one done in several hours.

   Here is some cute needleminders I got for a good deal as the person was selling off some needleminders in stock that she was no longer going to offer :) Lucky me!!

    I have quite a few more finishes including a couple more of the Christmas ornies, but I am going to end this blog post here. I will try and get another post up in the next few days to share more :)

I hope everyone is doing well and that life is good for ya'll!
