Yesterday was National Stitch in Public Day. So where did I stitch? The Pitt Grill of course.This is You Were Hatched by Teresa Wentzler. I finally bit the bullet and bought it off eBay. Nope, you don't want to know what I paid for it. ;)Where did everyone else stitch yesterday?

To quote Craig Ferguson ( @craigyferg ) on Twitter, 'I know'! I've decided to go on the wagon (insert post title here - get it? :) ). A couple of things. I keep buying and kitting up and starting but not finishing. Sound familiar? So, starting 7/1/10 no more shopping with a couple of exceptions: any designer going out of business or retiring designs is fair game. However I can only buy the

This is actually a re-start. Started on 28ct, decided that was too big and re-started on 32 ct white Jobelan stitch one over one and love it.

No New Years' Resolutions except one, well, maybe two. 1. 2010 will be 100% better that 2009 (at least for the economy)and2. I am going to stitch more this year and actually finish something!Hope everyone stays safe tonight and let's see what next year brings.

I haven't stitched since October! Sad, very sad. Also, I think Twitter has replaced this blog - instant gratification and all that. But sometimes you need more than 140 characters for self expression.I have no excuse except that the stitching mojo hasn't been with me. The new glasses weren't that great so I have to reorder and that might help; I have been doing other things, like book SALs,

Yes I have jumped onto this bandwagon with both feet, and especially after seeing this WIP. I finally have my stitching mojo back, I think.This year I have a feeling is going to be a year for baps. I love the smalls and might sneak some in, but I feel TW calling me for some reason.Got the idea for my colors from this post; isn't it gorgeous?Mary Wigham WIPAnd here's my floss toss - it's PTP

Since it's almost baseball season - officially April 5th but at Rangers Stadium April 6th (and it's my day off so I can go if I can get a ticket tomorrow) I'm having a giveaway to celebrate. Don't worry, the charts aren't baseball charts or anything. ;) It appears that I had a few senior moments last year and ordered *cough* a few duplicates. So, I'll be offering them up here starting April

I was good this week and only worked on this on Sunday. ;) I'm currently working on a freebie and don't have much to show but I'll post a pic when I get farther (or is it further) along. And personal - I got my yearly raise this week - now I'll be happy to get yelled at all day long for another few months. Really, I can't complain - I make more than some people with degrees.And, it's raining

Courtesy of Hillbilly HousewifeLet's hope that it doesn't get this bad - but isn't Clara a doll? She's been doing this since she was 91.My one progress pic is entirely too embarassing to post - I think I got ten stitches in, but I should finish Crabby All Year's March block fairly quickly.

I kept the mojo going on this one until last night; time to switch to something else. I know, I know, it's supposed to be a Sunday SAL, but oh well. ;) What are your thoughts on Nashville this year? I only have two must haves; Bradictionary by Bothy Threads and Spotted Horse by LaDDa. Anyone else have the blahs this year?

Julia's son Joe has another blog besides mangiare it'sMangiare - Eat PizzaThis is really good timing because I decided that all the pizza places (Even Papa John's pretty much suck anymore-and Papa John's used to be the best what with fresh ingredients and all). Now there is no time in the foreseeable future that I'm getting a wood fired pizza oven so I'm sure these can all be made in a regular

Didn't take quite as long as January but a lot of fill in the glass. March looks like (pardon the pun) it's going to be a breeze! And don't tell, but I think I'm going to be bad and work on Blessings and Kind Wishes this week. Two more days off after all. :)

Finished! (well, almost) I have a few more flakes and the windshield to go yet, and then I can move on to February. Oh, and we'll have to agree between ourselves to ignore the fact that the part with the car and snow shovel is one row too low. If I can do it, I know you can! :) Oh and we had a little drama. Charlie is a very indoor cat and got out today and scared the heck out of himself,

As the guys at the Pitt so thoughtfully pointed out, yes, I know it's not Christmas anymore but here it is. ;) I think I'll do beads instead of the Smyrna Cross?? she has in her design since I stiched it over one and I made an executive decision and left off the Joyeaux Noel too. And tell me, does it look like a cup of coffee was spilled on it? The dangers of stitching in public.

I'm stitching from stash this year (or trying to) we all know how long that's going to last, right? Anyway, just finished buying the beads for one project from Cousines et Cie at 2euros each. So how much did I spend in US dollars? $52. And this is saving me money how? ;) Oh well - at least I didn't have to buy the chart and the fabric, right?Here's an update of the Christmas Tree ornament:I'll

To Tracy at The Passion of My Needle for her blog giveaway that I won (and actually received on my birthday). The camera would not cooperate to show the lovely colors (one of the reasons this is late - I was trying to get a good photo not a scan but it just would not cooperate). I just love it!

....pictures later. But I've been mulling over an idea for a new blog since the Snowbird SAL has closed down effective 11/30. What do you think of a WISP collaborative blog? WISP stands for Work in sloooooooow progress. I have three, really. English Garden Sampler and Egyptian Sampler by TW, and Cirque des Cercles by Ink Circles. If I get some interest I'll set one up later on today. You

I *might* get this done by my birthday since I've gone down the entire left side with the border since this picture. (And I take it back - *Firefox* wouldn't let me upload images to blogger, blogger wasn't the culprit this time. ;) )Anyway - appropriate for Halloween, isn't she? Have a happy one!

Since blogger for some reason won't let me upload pics right now I thought I'd share this link:Needlecraft Corner is offering most of the supplies including fabric cuts for the ornaments in this issue. Drema's great to work with and they're very quick with processing and shipping. (No affiliation just a satisfied customer). I was kind of hoping Silkweaver's would do they're ornament cuts this

Nothing stitchy today but I found two sites you might enjoy. I think that two of the most common traits among stitchers is one, cats (mostly a given), and two that we keep notebooks. Think about it - blogs are a kind of notebook of our stitching journey; and who among us doesn't keep a notebook of future projects and supply lists for that next trip to the lns? Anyway, here's the first link:

So if you would like to be included in this, please leave a commet on this post and I will choose three more participants in a random drawing.

So here are some updates. I went shopping at the LNS yesterday and I'm actually sorry I went. The owner had a needlepoint class in that day and I really got the feeling they didn't want me around - I sat down at the table (in an empty chair mind you) to look through a stack of charts and they all looked surprised like that just isn't done. I'm the type if I want to sit, and the shop is open, I

I'll have some stitchy updates later on today (just a tad under the weather but getting better - yay!)Anyway, I got to thinking that I need some more IM friends so if you instant message (I mostly do yahoo messenger but I'm flexible) either let me know your IM name and what service you use or just send me an add request on yahoo messenger or just send me an invite if you're on Yahoo messenger to

In a 7-0 vote, Dan wins half a million dollars. Memphis' comment: 'Feel the love'. :)Keesha (ugh should've been Jerry but he came in second) wins the 25000 America's Favorite Juror prize.That's it for reality tv for the rest of the year for me (except for Cops - I have to watch that one just to see if anyone I know is on it).

I couldn't have said it better myselfHow The Renegades Revived Big Brotheralthough I disagree on three points.1. Keesha - she didn't play the best game; aligning herself with Libra and whoever the best looking guy in the house was at the time. She knew what was going to happen when she got evicted and did nothing to try to outmaneuver it.2. Jerry deserves the $25,000 juror's prize just because
