WIPS and Oak Haven 2010 Finish

I've come to the fast realization that I won't be making my January goals and I've added some things to it, lol. First I know I won't get 1 1/2 pages of Halloween House done. Doesn't mean I won't try, just gonna plug along and do what I can. Here's what I've gotten done last week. Not much but better than nothing right?

Seba Designs SAL. This is something new that I've added to my list :)

Halloween House

Making my first ever 15-sided Biscornu. I haven't done much but here's what I'm doing for at least 5 of the squares. I'm taking a class for this one through Frosty Design Stitchers.

AND TAAADAAAA OakHavens 2010 SAL is complete. I made it my own and put the 2010 at the bottom. I'm pretty proud of that, lol.

I also have one other finish. It's the first part of the SMO SAL. I forgot to take a picture but that's ok cause we aren't supposed to start it until the 15th anyway. That ones going to be so pretty!

Goose Egg, January Goals, WIPs and A Finish

Corys teacher called me yesterday from school to tell me Cory bumped his head and he had the biggest bump she had ever seen. She said he was fine, no crying and was playing good so it was my call to pick him up. I was thinking she was over reacting and it was just a small lump. She took this picture on her phone after it happened at 11:45. Have you ever seen such a thing in your life?!?! I felt like such a bad mom for not getting him sooner. I did take him into the doctor but by then the swelling had gone down some but was over his eyelid. I'm still like WOW.... Cory says he was running and didn't see the monkey bars. Think I should get his eyes checked again? LOL


This is what it looked like last night around 9. Today its pretty much gone. The only sign it was there is a scrape and some bruising.

I was inspired by my friend Mary to make January goals so here they are....

-2 Ornaments (finished one and one to go)

-Finish 2010 OakHaven SAL

-5 blocks Grande Marquoir

-Finish A Time for Christmas Cookies

-San-Man Sal (starts on the 15th and will work on Saturdays)

-5 sections of Northern Nights

-1 1/2 pages of Halloween House

Here's where I'm at on them. All of the pictures are WIP that I started before 2011 except the Northern Nights and the Finished Reindeer Ornament.

This is Northern Nights. I'm going with black aida :) I just love black.

Grande Marquoir. I think I am using 28 ct but I'm doing it over 1. Way too much for a girl with bad eyes....

Gingerbread Smile

And lastly is this one Christmas Cookies. It was a freebie on San-Mans board.

This is going to be a fun month and if I get everything done like I want I'll have at least 3 finishes, two of which will be ornaments and I'd like to make A Time for Christmas Cookies into a cube. I'll be working on Gingerbread Smile some but it isn't one of my goals for this month. It's something small I take with me when I'm running errands so there isn't a lot to carry around.

Friday Finishes

I got some stitching and finishing in this week. I love how all the ornaments turned out. All are designed by San-Man Originals :)

Dec. 13, 2010

I was doing laundry the other day and heard Cory laughing. I walk into the kitchen to see an a-cat-robat, lol. He kept jumping on the bike and flipping over the handlebars. What a funny cat :)

I got this beautiful Angel from a dear friend Penny. I LOVE her :) Green is also my favorite color ever. This picture doesn't do her justice. The white is sparkly. She's just beautiful and something I'll treasure always!

Finish and Winter

I've finished the My Little Heart Sal! I love this and can't wait to see what else she comes out with :)

Here's some winter pics. Had lots of snow yesterday. Cory and I had fun in it. It was a great day to play in the snow since it wasn't uber cold out, unlike today. This little guy and some of his buddies had fun too!
Ahhh my baby :) He loves the snow.

November 21, 2010

There won't be a lot of talking today, just pictures. I have a killer headache and am ready to hit the hay so here we go....

This is part one of WxsW Halloween sal by Helga Mandl. I'm too late for this Halloween but it will be ready by next.



OakHaven's 2010 Monthly Sal. These things make the months FLYYY by.

These next 3 are from Oak Haven Design. This is the first time I've finished an ornament like this. I think it turned out pretty cute. BTW this wasn't the original way I had planned to finish it. Sometimes my minds eye is craftier than my hand and I have to fix mistakes. Sometimes they work out in my favor and sometimes they don't.

Anniversary Shopping, Bloomers and Halloween

Hubby gave me a $50 gift card to Michaels for our anniversary. Here's some of the goodies I bought. Took Cory with me and he ended up with a bunch of junk too. Won't do that again, lol.

I had been making something for my cousin who was due in December but decided I wouldn't have anything finished and changed my mind twice. Then I decided on these bloomers. I didn't get them finished in time for the shower (or the birth since she was 6 weeks early) but I did get them done in time to give her at the hospital. Her baby was born on Halloween. Still working on the birth samper but not in a hurry now.

I'm taking a flatfold class and chose this pumpkin made by Sandy of Sanman. Stitched it on the aida that I dyed. Love them both. Can't wait to do a flatfold, it will be my first.

Got alot done today and was cleaning out places I haven't seen in ages. I

didn't have much left to finish it when I lost it forever ago. Some dear child of mine stuck it in a book then put it in Corys room on his bookshelf. SO happy I found it and got it finished. I LOVE it. It was designed by Carla Rizzie.
And lastly here are the kids at Halloween. Quincy and Dakota wanted to dress up so they went as older versions of the other, lol. At one point we had lipstick on Dakota. He looked so funny (and a little odd with his facial hair).

That's it for the monthly addition of Tara's Junk :)
