Stinking frog!! Ugghhh! I had got most of the middle "leaf" stitched on the shamrock, when lo and behold it didn't line up when connecting it! And I had to rip out ALL of that stitching and a piece on the final "leaf" that I had started on the left hand side. So that is what I spent my Saturday night doing was stitching a whole bunch and then ripping it all out! Sunday I managed to get it all stitched correctly, and now all I have left is the left side. Whew, that was frustrating, but back on track now :)</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Monday night after completing the last of the ornaments, I picked back up my Lavender and Lace Angel of Grace. I will share my starting point from where I left it last back in the first of November before the cruise before last. I have managed to get a ton done on it this week, and if I keep this pace up I hope to have it done in the next 2 weeks approximately :) I work on it of a day and into the evening, but around 9-10 pm I will switch it out to something simpler and smaller to get a break. I started a Mill Hill kit called Wanda's Hat and finished it last night. This is my 18th Finish of the Year. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I prepped the last couple of days getting my next small project ready. I saw this one on Instagram this week where someone had completed it, and it was a freebie from Brooke's Books Publishing - <a href="http://www.brookesbookspublishing.com/CrossStitchFreebies.html">http://www.brookesbookspublishing.com/CrossStitchFreebies.html</a> </b></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">. It's a shamrock, and I had been wanting to find one I really liked. After printing off the pattern, I was like what floss to use. I didn't want to use the plain DMC it called for, then I thought ok maybe a Mo's Sale floss, and then I remembered I had hand dyed a very nice mottled green floss last year. So I located the floss and decided it was a very nice "shamrock" color, and just a little while ago I cut my 28ct for it. So I should be starting that tonight - yay!!!</b><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>I hope everyone has enjoyed the first day of Spring and everything that entails. The newness and freshness ahead, along with the rebirth of the ground and flowers is something I look forward to. I love Spring - except for the pollen I am allergic to lol! It was a nice 65* here today, and suppose to be 80* tomorrow. After returning from the cruise all last week was a lot like winter, but hopefully it will stay warm now. I am starting to think about the flowers, vegetables, and herbs I want to plant.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>I finished another ornament last night and the last and final of the 25th one a little while ago. So all the ornaments that was in that kit is done. Well, done with the stitching of them, now I have to FFO them, but they will be ready for the tree this year :)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>I have decided to get back to my L&L Angel of Grace. It's just so spring like that it is what is calling to me. I will probably work on a smaller WIP or a Mill Hill or something of the like in between when I need a break.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>On the chest cold front, it is really trying to hang on. I just wish it would hurry up and go away!!! I have so much I want to be doing but me not feeling a 100% is holding me up!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Hello Everyone,</b></span><br />
<br />
<b style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">After my blog post earlier I worked on making a video of all the pictures I took at the local Quilt Gala I went to at the end of February. There was alot of pictures, and it would take alot to share all of them on the social media platforms, so I thought it would be great to do a video :)</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I really enjoyed the show, and it was a little challenging to get pictures of the larger quilts along with it being crowded, but I think I done pretty good overall.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Here is the one and only thing I purchased at this quilt show, as I knew we was going to the big show in Daytona and then on the cruise, so I wanted to allot my money elsewhere, as I can go to most of these places locally:</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I have been back since a week yesterday - 03/11/17, but I've been sick since I got off the ship. By the time we got off the ship and took a cab to our car I knew I was getting a chest cold. I could feel it setting in, and by the evening we got home I went to bed. It has gotten pretty bad, but on Thursday I went to my doctor, and he put me on 4 medicines. I was getting to where it was difficult to breathe of a night and was getting no sleep. I am on the mend now, but still not a 100%. Dang it too, cause I had managed all winter not to get anything, but those cruise ships are petri dishes! I try to use hand sanitizer and keep my hands washed, but there is just so many surfaces you are constantly touching on the cruise ship!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Also, near Port Canaveral was a quilt shop near where we were staying before we left out for the cruise, and boy did I get some beautiful things! I will be sharing soon my goodies. I may even make a YouTube video on my quilty acquisitions.</b></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>The cruise - at least I didn't get sick while on it - was really great and we had a blast. I did get a bad sunburn on my upper body on the second port day - and YES!, I used SPF 70 water resistant sunscreen. Go figure! I will also share more about that in another post along with pictures.</b></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I did feel good enough yesterday to get back to stitching from being sick, and I managed to finish 2 small projects! I started and finished a Mill Hill kit called Pilgrim, and finished another ornament. I also finished another ornament earlier today. So I have managed to finish 3 smalls since yesterday!! I only have 2 more ornaments left and I will be done with them! I am thinking about what I want to work on next. I am thinking I will get back to my L&L Angel of Grace.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I hope this finds you all well and in good spirits! We have been having some amazing weather here in coastal South Carolina, and from what I have seen people post on Facebook, even people up North are getting some nice Spring weather. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I have managed another 5 cross stitch finishes since my last post on the Christmas ornaments (see pics below). I am working on another one, but I haven't stitched on anything since Thursday night. Cause:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Friday I went to the local Quilt Gala (more on that to come in another post), yesterday after getting up and getting breakfast and riding to the lumbar store with the hubby (he is now expanding his storage shed), me and my girls worked <span style="background-color: white;"><u>ALL DAY</u> </span>and I mean All day out in my quilt studio. I call it a quilt studio, but I guess it could also be called a craft studio, cause it does contain some of my totes of cross stitch kits and I have a bookshelf with patterns upon patterns, and also I have designated an area for where I am going to have my own space to make handmade soap out there instead of in my kitchen. It also has my painting and mixed media stuff out there. Lots of goodies to play with :) I came in for about and hour to grill steaks, cook mushrooms and boil the ears of corn for supper. After that those little slave drivers of mine (my 17 yr old twins) wanted to keep going until all the totes and bags was put away, but about 8:30 last night I called quilts. Me and Elizabeth went out there this morning and worked for about an hour to and hour-and-a-half and got some done before she went to her friends house, but we are going to work on it some more after school tomorrow. After we get the quilting goodies all organized, we have to get all my soaping things put away! Oh and this past Monday, while they were off from school for President's Day, we worked 6 hrs out there. I have a pic they snapped from Monday, but alot more has been organized and cleaned up yesterday and today :)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>In other news, I will be getting to go to Quilt Week in Daytona, FL this coming week!!! Squee! This will be my first big show ever so far! I am so looking forward to test driving the longarm quilt machines to see which one I am interested in, so when I am ready to make my purchase I will know what I want! I have had one of the small arm quilting machines and frame for 10 yrs now, and I have used it maybe 6 times cause I don't like all the stopping and starting due to not having enough quilt throat space for the designs I want to do. Like I mentioned, I went to our small local show on Friday, but I am sure it will be nothing like this one. I get a day and a half to go, so we will be staying 2 days in Daytona, and then we will stay a night in Port Canaveral, as we are leaving for a 7 day cruise on Sat.! Really excited about that too - the timing worked out perfect :) </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I started cranking these out from a kit that makes 25 ornaments right around Oct/Nov.. You can see the other ones I have completed either on Instagram or Older Blog Posts on here. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>After I get them all stitched, I will do the finishing on them and they will be ready to go on this year's tree. As I stitch these small little projects to get back into the swing of things, my mind keeps wondering what I will do after I get these done. I am wondering if I should pick back up my Lavender and Lace Angel of Grace or ???. I have also been wanting to start a Mill Hill kit or something else. I have 11 more ornies to go I think, so I still have about a week to keep figuring it out ;)</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I tend to be <u>usually</u> a one project kinda girl here in the last year-and-a-half. I use to love to start new things all the time, get quickly bored with it and start something else. But now I like to usually stick to one project get it finished and move onto the next. Withstanding though a large project like my L&L, I will start a small and work on it when I need a few days break from my large project. Now it seems, I love to get finishes in over starts. Also, I noticed I seem to get alot more done this way. What is your stitching style like? Do you love new starts or one or two projects only at a time?Would love to hear about your stitching style :)</b></span><br />

I know, I should have switched immediately to another treadmill, but I didn't want to start my time over. Lesson learned for sure!! I plan on going tomorrow. I went three times last week, and want to do at least that this week. I went from practically zero physical activity to going 30 minutes a day, and I try and improve on something small each time - like a little faster, or a little farther, etc..</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>It's been since November since I last wrote, but there's a sad, sad reason as to why. The first of December I lost my stitchy bug :( No clue as to where it went but went it did!! I did not pick up a needle until yesterday - Feb. 12, 2017! I did get back at it fast and furious and I finished 2 small Christmas ornaments in one day and started a 3rd - Yay :) I will share those down below.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I don't know why it left me. We was getting along so well. Getting lots done in 2016, but I guess it went on vacation when I did, but didn't want to come back until yesterday even though I returned back right before Christmas. December the 9-18 we went on a cruise to Aruba, Bonaire, and Grand Turk. We had a great time! We are leaving out again the first of March to hit up 4 different ports around Mexico. Looking forward to that! Hopefully my stitchy bug won't leave me again after coming back from this upcoming cruise!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Hope everyone has jumped into 2017 with a good start on all they want to get accomplished. Last Weds. I started going back to the gym. Trying to lose some weight and get healthier. I have a long road ahead of me, but slow steps and small changes will lead to a better me eventually - Rome wasn't built in a day!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Also, my quilt studio has come along quite nicely. Me and my daughter has gotten alot organized out there since December - yes, that to hasn't been touched since then. Hubby and our neighbor built me a 6 foot cabinet, and he is going to put a sink in it so I can make my soaps and beauty items out there. He was staining the cabinet yesterday, and will be putting the drawer handles on it today. We have to purchase the counter top, sink, and hot water heater and install them and it will be finished. I feel so lucky to have a hubby who can do all these things for me. I will have to eventually share some pics of my woman cave ;)</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Finally I have gotten all caught up (for the most part) of what all I have accomplished since this past August. Now I can share what I am currently working on :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> First I wanted to chat about how my stitching style has changed. I use to love and I mean love starting something new all the time - or was it out of boredom that came quickly when I was stitching on that current project LOL!! I think personally it was a combination of both. I have noticed though in the last year and a half my stitching style has changed dramatically. Now I almost exclusively stitch on 1 project at a time. Currently though I have been stitching on this Lavender and Lace since finishing the Welcome Mat I showed you in the last post. I was getting really tired of it and needed a change and the Christmas Cheer was really calling me, so I did start it up this past Saturday. I could have it done in a week's time if I was exclusively stitching it, but I am using it as my in between when I need to take a break from the L&L project. There is the little mini ornaments kit that I shared several posts back, but I consider each little stocking or mitten as a little start and finish, and I can get one of those done in an evening. I haven't started another since finishing the last one. To finish my thoughts on this, I have found that this year so far, is my most finishes yet in my 20 years of stitching! I do tend to be a pretty fast stitcher (most days) and hence The Flying Needle name of the blog ;) so if I concentrate on 1 project at a time I seem to get more finishes. Now FFO'ing is a whole 'nother story but I will talk about that in another post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Here she is - Lavender and Lace's Angel of Grace. She is my first ever L&L and I couldn't be more happy to work on her. I worked on her today which would be Day 12 (not pictured here) and I got alot more done on her. Now that I am caught up I will keep it updated here on the blog. I didn't post everyday that I worked on her but Day 1 thru Day 11 with a few days in between to show my progress as I went. If you want to see all the days you can check out my Instagram @stayinginstitches</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> I set a lofty personal goal of having her complete for 2016, but with the holidays, and our cruise 3 weeks away I may have to rethink that goal!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Here is my "take a break from the big project" start that I started this past Saturday. This one was really calling to me and had been in my stash for a really long while now. I think it really called to me cause of Christmas being so close around the corner. Speaking of which we are planning on getting our Christmas put up promptly after Thanksgiving due to the cruise. Also when we went last year on a cruise 2 days after Thanksgiving it was such a festive time on the boat. They had a special evening of lighting the Christmas tree and blowing "snowflakes", so I am very much looking forward to this one!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Last Thursday (11/10) was my birthday. I had a pretty good day. I stitched some but not as much as I wanted to cause things to do with the ones I love. Me and my son went to breakfast, and then I came home and stitched. On the way to breakfast though we found a dog on the side of the road, and she was about to get hit by a car any minute and she was nothing but skin and bones and had a handful of ticks on her. I couldn't stand the thought of that poor baby suffering anymore than she had, so on our way to breakfast we stopped and put her in my car and I brought her to my house gave her water and food. I have a big fenced in backyard so we left her to eat and rest while we grabbed breakfast. I already have 4 dogs and I knew I couldn't keep her - she was a beagle - so when I got back home I called around and found an animal care center that would take her. That way she could also get vet care that she needed, a warm place to sleep, plenty of food and water, and a new loving family. So I took her there that afternoon. Shortly after I got back it was about time to go out for my birthday dinner. I chose Walbugers. Had a nice evening out, came home, and booked another cruise for April and we are going to book a 13 day cruise sometime over the weekend. We are set to leave in about 27 days for a 9 day cruise - yes, we love cruising!! So all in all it was a good birthday - now if we could just hit the pause button for at least several hundred years so I can get my stash all stitched up..LOL!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Onto stitching now :) Here is another finish back on October 18th. Here it was Halloween and I'm stitching Summer - LOL!! It was still nice warm weather here at the time. This was a DUCJC2015 start. I managed to get alot of those finished this year. I didn't participate this year, but with alot of 2015's finished I may start this coming year's DUCJC2017!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Up next was another Summer finish that I completed October 27th. I love this one and it was an <strike> older </strike>Dimensions kit that I had in my stash and acquired some years ago (I just happen to be looking on walmart.com and saw this kit for sale at a great price!). It was a quick stitch for me and I finished it in 8 days! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> I haven't stitched any yesterday or today. Yesterday I was busy cleaning up some around the house and getting some papers straight that needed my attention, and then today I was gone almost all day taking care of errands. The next few days I am going to stitch, stitch, stitch!! On Friday afternoon though I may have to take my son's girlfriend to meet him halfway in Wilmington, NC as they are going to the Marine Ball.</span></div>

It's been a really warm day here in coastal South Carolina!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Here is the post that I said I wanted to share all by itself. This was a Dimensions kit called Morning Praise. It was a real labor of love as this had alot of half stitches, color changes, but also what made it challenging was just a ton of browns and greens in those color families - that also at times proved to be trying. It was like not another color of brown in a different shade - LOL! But I carried on and was hugely rewarded for my efforts on this one, as I love, love, love it!!! I also hated the aida fabric as it was really stiff, but it soften some as I worked with it, and after I washed it after stitching to remove the grid lines it was great. So for future reference I could always wash stiff adia before hand to soften it up. There was alot of backstitching but I didn't mind it and it really brought the piece to life. I will share some of the photos I took along the way of progress.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> I have several more finishes I have accomplished and what I am currently working on to post about over the next couple of days. I find that posting often is really quite enjoyable to me more than before. I have noticed some of my stitching habits has changed over the last year or so that I will get into in another post - I don't want to make the posts to long while playing "catch-up" :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> On another note, I found a video I recorded on my phone back from Aug. 1st and I watched it yesterday cause I had forgotten about recording it. I plan on uploading it even though it is a few months old in the next few days. I am thinking about editing out some things or I may not - lol. We will see. I will make a post when that is up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> I hope everyone is stitching away :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> 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?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> 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. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> Back to the stitching that I have been doing over the last several months... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> 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 :/ </span><br />

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.</span></div>

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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> 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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">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!). </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">T</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">hen 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!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here is a few pics from the damage to my big tree damage, and hubby doing clean-up.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>How are you all doing? I hope well and stitching away and getting all the things you want done!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>First off I want to tell you about my Sunday night. I was sitting in my stitchy spot stitching away and my 16 yr old daughter calls all upset and crying and I knew when the phone rang something was wrong cause she doesn't like to text or call when driving (which is a very good thing!). She was on her way home from work and was at a stop sign and was rear ended. The guy who rear ended her pulled off into the parking lot where she did and told her not to call her parents or the police and wanted her to follow him to a not so good area. I heard him in the background while she was talking to me saying "no, no". I told her if her drove off to try and get his license plate number and pay attention for a description of him and the car. Sure enough he left the scene, and we arrived there and we were waiting on the police. They faulted him 100% and are currently looking for him. What in the world is wrong with people today? And this was a middle aged man! My daughter thinks by the way he was acting and talking he was on something! But as a mother I am scared to pieces over how he wanted her to follow him into a bad part of town! Why did he want her to do that?? I have taught her to lock her doors as soon as she enters her car, and she only rolled the window down a couple of inches. Needless to say she was physically okay but really shaken up. She has only had her license for about a month now and to have this happen. Anyhow, I am just thankful she is ok!</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>I managed to get alot accomplished on my Morning Praise from Dimensions. It has been nothing but varying shades of greens and browns though, so I have to put it down after so long cause I get tired of working with just those colors ;) I have gotten the area around the beehive just about done with in regards to the stitching. Just need to stitch out the bees and I am moving own down to the butterflies and flowers - yes some color!! I've made more progress than shown here, but I haven't taken any pics yet. I will soon and update in a post soon.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>In between stitching the Morning Praise piece I have worked on the Mill Hill Kit Frosty Presents. It was nice to get alot done on this as a break piece. I should get it finished by today or tomorrow hopefully. I bought some felt the other day at AC Moore to back it with. This will be the first time using felt to back a Mill Hill piece, as I usually use brown craft paper. I saw a fellow Floss Tuber use felt, and liked the look of it better.</b></span><br />

Uggh, I hate needles, and they had to stick me twice. I am so hard to stick. Then I met the hubs and my son out for lunch as they got done with what they were doing early. Came home and been getting a few things done, like preparing a NEW FlossTube video for YouTube. That should be up tomorrow as I like to upload them overnight while I am sleeping :) I will make a blog post once it's up with the video.</b></span><br />
