My New Baby

Here is a picture of my new baby. It's a 2002 Buick Rendezvous. It's totally AWESOME!!!! The inside is spectacular. No rust anywhere. I love it!!!

Heres the inside.

Thats all for now. Just had to show my new toy!!

Coasters

So I bought a Spool Knitter at Michaels the other day and I'm so in love with it. Here is the first thing I've made.

Start with yarn. Make the coils


Sew the back of coils together to make
coasters.




Cute huh? Ok, maybe I'm the only one excited. Going to make a hot pad next.

WIPS

This ones called Christmas Cookies. I think it was one I got from 123stitch.com. I love it and it fits me perfectly. I make at least 10 kinds of goodies for Christmas.


This one is called Witch Silhouette. It is a free from artecy on facebook. They give out freebies if you join their facebook.

This is Halloween's a Sudden Boo, a freebie from cyberstitchers.com. We are doing this as a SAL in crossstitchaddiction.

I absolutley love my dyed pieces and think they look perfect with what I'm doing on them.

Purple

Dyed this one tonight for Halloweens a sudden boo. I like the top part better than the bottom...but I really like how this turned out too.


Went to town tonight and bout 5 more hummingbird feeders and an oriole feeder. Can't wait to see how many birds we have in the morning. That makes 7 hummingbird feeders all together.

Exchanges, my first dye, and some stitchy progress and new kitties

Not so good at the blogging thing. I'm lazy and I'm impatient. LOL
SO here we go. The first is something I dyed for my Halloween SAL for krafterskorner. I am stitching a witch silhouette. It is a freebie from artecy facebook. I love the way it turned out. Daughter didn't like the squares but I do and think it will look fine with my pattern.



Had some time to stitch today so this is what I have gotten done so far. I think this will go pretty fast.

This is from Katie for the krafterskorner Patriotic exchange. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the towels. I hate using them though, way too cute. And the round and square things I am going to make into coasters I think. Thank you Katie!!

And this one is from Donna for the krafterskorner fabric exchange. Ladies do not drool over my goodies please :) Have to hide my goodies b/c my daughter likes to make pillows. Now if I could get her to cross stitch I might let her use a tiny piece, lol. Thank you soo much Donna!!

SO excited about my exchanges and think I got the better end of the deal on both of them. Makes me want to send something else to make up for them.

Next up are my new babies. I think they was born on the 28th of June. I have it on the calendar but too lazy to look. Thats all for today. I'm so tired I could pass out at the computer.

Birthday

I had a wonderful birthday this year. Dustin took me to Menards and bought me a few things. We ran around town for a little bit, came home and SURPRISE!! Dustin had called our friends up and had a surprise party for me. It was awesome. He really showed his love that day. I got some awesome gifts including the stash below. I've spent the Michaels giftcards, but holding off a day or two for the Hobby Lobby one. At least until I get my stash put up and organized :)





Here are the beautiful flosses I got from the CSA Birthday Club. These ladies did an awesome job at spoiling me. The colors are so pretty and lovely. Thank you ladies...just have to find the special somethings to use my flosses on. You all did a wonderful job at picking the colors out!!!


And lastly I got my Spring Tote from Penny on Saturday. Penny did an awesome job. I love the color of the tote she dyed me. It is perfect. I took it to town today and got lots of compliments. Penny sent me tons of cute little kits and a Precious Moments book. I think I'll make something for my neices rooms with their names for Christmas (or birthdays depending on what I get done). Thank you Penny, you spoiled me!!

Updates

It's been a while since I've updated so here it goes.

I have my first finishes of 2009. I made 2 magnets for CSA Magnet and Recipe Exchange. I liked them. My partner was Princess Crystal...the Princess saying just screamed her name :)

I put off my other WsIP so I could finish my magnets and get them sent out in time so the cross stitch pro sal hasn't been touched. I have been working on Quaker Blues a little.

I've aslo been working on Checkerboard Bunny. Its a freebie from Waxing Moon designs. Hope to have that done by Easter. Would like to make it into a cube. We'll see, that takes some skill and I don't have any :(

I 've been getting tons of cards for my Birthday Floss Exchange, it's killing me but I'm not going to open them until my birthday. I only have a week to go so I can hold off.

I got my package today from my ILCS Needle and Floss Exchange. Jo Spoiled me :) She sent me a lovely birthday card too. Thanks SOO much Jo. That made my day!! I haven't used any of the flosses. Can't wait to try them. She even sent some of my favorite colors. What an awesome partner!!
