Progress Report

Well, nothing much going around here. This week seemded to pass so quick with the long weekend. I’ve finished stitching my exchange piece so I worked on the 3D house a little bit more. I hope I will be able to finish this third panel by the end of this week…

After working on this 22ct fabric, stitching on 32ct over 2 for the exchange piece was like a walk in the park!!!!! I’m not quite done with the exchange piece just yet, though, cause I hit a little bit of problem – I lost my partner’s contact info when I reinstalled my computer last week…… I hope I can get that info back soon so I can mail it off~~ I really need a finish here……

Nothing scheduled for the rest of the day so I’m off stitching~~ Have a great evening~

A Great Mail Day!!!!

Today is a REALLY good day~~~~ It seemed that all my packages chose today to arrive all at once!!! First of all, some books I’ve purchased last week has arrived!! I’ve been eyeing them for a while, and finally decide to get them last week. I think all three of these books are Scandinavian style designs, the two on the left are second hand books found on Amazon, I think I paid more in shipping then for the book……

The funny bird book on the right is just too cute to pass!! Just look at all the cute little birdies inside~~ Aren’t they adorable?!

You can find more information about these books at Scandinavian Stitches, but remember to double check on Amazon if you are interested in buying any of them~

The next thing that cam in the mail today is this beautiful Gingher Sarah scissors I bought from Mike and Carol’s~~ After seeing all the beautiful scissors everyone had during Nina’s giveaway, it really put me to shame made me think it’s time for me to invest in a real pair of scissors…… I really love the colors on this Gingher Sarah plus it was such a great deal, so I just had to order it right away~~ Now i can say I’m a proud owner of an emblordary scissor!! YA~~~

I was a winner of Cameo’s daily giveaways, and here is the lovely pin she made. Isn’t this lovely? She is still giving away jewelries everyday so make sure to check out her site~~

Speaking of giveaways, Cindy is celebrating her 10,000 hit with a fabulous stash giveaway!!!!!! If you haven’t enter already, remember to enter before June 1st for a chance to win these goodies~~

As for my progress on the 3D house, thanks for all your encouragements over the last post, I’ve finally finished the two right panels of the house, and I’m loving it!!!! The Wisteria trellis turned out so nicely, I can almost smell the flowers~~

Sadly I had to put this one hold for a little bit and switch gears to work on an exchange piece. That shouldn’t take too long (I hope…) then I’ll come back and work on this more.

Thanks for bearing with me on this long post, I just had to share the joy of receiving mails~ Have a great day!!!!

A Fabulous Giveaway and More Progress

Ok, people, you have to go check out this beautiful quilt that Elizabeth is giving away!!!! It is absolutely gorgeous!!!! You have till 5/18 to enter, and don’t forget to check out her other amazing quilts while you are there~~

As for my progress on the little 3D house, this is what I’ve done through the week…

I didn’t think it would take me so much time to stitch one section, but when actually working on it, I found that there is so much going on in just one little section!! And the color coded chart didn’t help, either, I had to look very closely to make sure I did it right.

None the less, I’m loving how it is turning out~ It just might take me longer to finish it up!! You guys will just have to bear with me through this process!! ^^

Have a great weekend~~

Slow Progress and a Whole New World~~

Can it be Thursday already?! Things are just being crazy around here lately…… Don’t have too much to show, since I’ve only managed to finish the corners of my 3D house project, and the other piece I’m working on is a gift~ Well, it is what it is!! Here’s what I’ve done so far on the house……

I’ve also discovered the wonderful world of public library!!!! If you want to save some money in this economy but still would like to work on fabulous projects, go check out your local library!!!! Look at all these wonderful books I found in our library here!!! They might not be the latest and finest, but there sure are some interesting ideas~~ It’s a great way to check out a book before buying it, too!!
