New Picture and update

Good morning! Here is a new picture of Egyptian Princess. Sorry that the picture is blurry again! I tried to get it in focus, but I am still playing around with the camera, so bear with me. She is coming along nicely, and you can tell that it is a princess now.

Today I plan to sit and do some more stitching on her. I have a couple of things that I need to do this morning, like clean up the house, dishes, and go get my son's prescription for his ADHD medication, but other than that, I really don't have that much to do in the way of work, or what ever. I feel like I am on a vacation, which is nice, I need it. LOL.

I am still contemplating whether or not to add one of my UFOS and start a rotation, but I can never keep up with it. I don't know. We shall see.

Justin and Miranda spent the day yesterday with their grandfather. They enjoyed that, and my dad is going to take Justin fishing. He has his own fishing pole and his own little spot on the boat. That gave him something to look forward to. He is really excited. He can't wait to go with grandpa fishing.

Stitching update

I didn't think that I was going to get to post a new picture of her at all. But I did, and have a new camera. This is what it looks like so far, and she is coming along nicely. Page 2 is going more smoothly than the first page, maybe that is a good sign. Maybe that will mean all the other pages will go at the same rate as this one.

It could also mean that I have more time during summer break to stitch, which is good. I am just thrilled with the progress I am making on this. Now to get page 2 finished. I can't wait to do that.

New Picture

Page 1 is finally done. I am so glad. I am doing a happy dance. Now I am onto page 2. Sorry that the picture is so blurry. I am not sure what the deal is with my camera. I think Miranda was playing with it, and when she did she did something with it.

Anyway, here is the updated picture of Egyptian Princess. Now I am off to stitch some more on her.

Updated picture of stitching

Well here is an updated picture of Egyptian Princess. I didn't get page 1 finished. I am almost done with it. I wanted to finish the page tonight, but my poor fingers!!!!!!! I have to say she is coming along. It is really looking nice. The beads that are in her hair are a pain. But I am not going to complain. I hope to get the page finished tomorrow night, and start on page 2.

Ariel is doing a little better, she is handling things better, than she was, but it is a long process. I have to say I am proud of her, and couldn't ask for a better daughter than her. Not saying that Miranda is not a good kid, she is. What I mean is, Ariel is a brave child and I am proud of her..

Well I am off to bed.

Weekly stitching update finally

Good morning all! I finally have a recent picture of Egyptian Princess. I am not sure if you can see it or not. But the part of the pattern that I am stitching is the bck of her head. It is coming along. I was getting a little frustrated with it, because there are so many different colors in her hair and then there are beads in the pattern, that I am stitching, and it was getting frustrating.

I got to a point that I was frogging, and wasn't thrilled with that. So I put her aside, so now I have let her sit for two weeks, and I think it is time to get to work on her. THe stitches that you see at the bottom, I did do some, but as I said, I was so tired, and frustrated with her, that I didn't want to work on her anymore.

But I want to get the first page done, and start on the second one. I can't wait to get it done. LOL. I hope I can get it done this week, or sooner.

As for life here. It has been an emotional couple of weeks here, and don't want to go into detail of it right now, I am not ready to share that in my journal, but we are working through some stuff with my oldest daughter. SHe is hanging in there, but she is having a time. The other two kids, are hanging in there too. They are a mess as usual.

Well that is it for me for this week. I hope that everyone has a good week, and do some stitching.

Non Stitching update

Sorry that it has taken me awhile to post on here. I thought that my other blog was sending my posts to this journal, but I guess not. Anyway. Things here have been very hectic, not a whole lot of time for stitching. But that is okay. I do have some pictures of my son Justin and I to show off. It is from his field day. As you can see he is kind of shy right now in the picture. He is such a mess. But that is Justin for you. He had such a good time, and so did I.

Stitching, is kind of on hold sort of. BUt not for long. I keep sitting down at night and pulling it out, and never stitching. I guess that it is good that I am pulling it out, maybe some time I will get the energy to stitch. LOL. Other than that we are hanging in there, and staying busy

WOW!!! Two posts in one week

Wow two posts in one week. I am really on the ball.

I just wanted to post a picture of a recent updated picture of Egyptian Princess. I am really smoking on this one. It is nice to have the two days off. Of course with it snowing we may even have tomorrow off. It is snowing like crazy here. I am so excited. My two younger kids, Miranda and Justin are excited. They keep looking out the window to see how much snow there is on the ground.

So I plan to sit in the house and not go anywhere today, and maybe do a movie marathon, and stitch, we will see. It all depends, if not then I will listen to my IPOD. I need to add some more songs to it. I am getting tired of listening to the ones I have. LOL.

I can't believe that this is a little of 5 percent done. I am just amazed at how fast I am going. That is a good thing, if I keeep it up, it may be done for my oldest daughter's birthday. YEah right.

NOt doing much today, except sitting in the house and enjoying the snow fall and stitching, I may even take the Christmas tree down, as I haven't done that yet. My kids are really bugging me about why I haven't taken it down yet. I just don't feel like it yet. LOL. Well I am off to get some stitching done. Have a good stitching day.
