2010
Hi everyone!
I am hoping this year turns out to be a good year for everyone here and that we can get on the bandwagon and do another stitch round! Even a small one -
I am doing fine - have been working 6 days a week. Now with a new semester - I am only working at one school - dropped one for sanity reasons - ha - need time for myself - and to take care of things at home as well - laundry for one - ;) its the neverendingstory!!!!!
I am so happy to be working only M W F now and still have the office I clean on the weekend -
I haven't stitched since I sent my last lady off - I need to get stitching again !
What is up with everyone else????

back soon
I wish I could explain to you all where I have been...
I can only say that I am now back. I have moved again
with my son ;) to a wonderful place in Snohomish. I
should be unpacked within a week. I am not sure I will
be continuing college. I almost feel as if I would be
better to work harder on the job I am presently working.
I am going to be refocusing all of my lost energy in the
next few weeks. I will probably start a new blog which
contains all of those things which I love... and not so
many that I cannot keep up. I do not wish anyone to worry
and for those who are still friends... I thank you for
you all had every right to walk away. I have not gotten
all of the stitching information done or sent out...I
regret this... but could explain - though excuses would
sound bad coming from me. I am sorry, needless to say, and
will be focusing on this as a priority.
Needless to say I will not be doing the mirabilia
stitchalong anytime soon. Perhaps someone would like to
start it ... I would love to join but I need to find the
time to be right.
Dante... hehe is doing so so so good. I must say
keeping up with him has been a challenge in itself.
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs to all who need them.
Be well.

Very Quiet here...
Hello everyone,
I bet with school back in session everyone is busy trying to get to their new schedules. I know I am - I was off most of the summer and now working 6 days a week. Hope everyone is doing well as it is very quiet here .
****Laura - hope all is well with you - just wondering - I have yet to receive my 'Lady' back yet - not sure who has it ???? - hmmm, hoping to get it before the next round in Jan starts so I can finish this one.
Can you let me know?
Thanks

Rebekah's Lady
Here's my lady all finished! I added some charms and buttons to make her unique. Thanks everyone for working on her!
Saturday, August 8, 2009
Been a long time
First of all I truly need to apologize.... I havent even sent out my lady... I cannot make excuses... I will tell you that Jon and I are not going to stay together... and that he and I have been apart for awhile now. I still live here, but it is one of the only things we share. Dante is the only other thing. My lady was all ready to be finished... but I can only say my room has since been thrashed, and I have not caught up. I have her, and she is safe. Not everything made it through the madness, but she did. The chart is not where she was found, and therefore I have been swamped and doing as much as I can at a time to find it.
I am completely embarrassed at this. I also have been very busy as I am looking for a house in addition to school, and getting ready for our yearly inventory at work. There are good things too... But for now I am focusing on Dante, getting a new place and family. I love you all, and promise that every day I am plugging away to get this corrected. Just looking at the blog this morning I feel better. I know that I must send Colleen`s lady soon. I will not be doing the Mirabilia exchange till I am one hundred percent moved and back to normal. I love you all...I miss you all. I will work this weekend to find the chart... thank you to all who have been so patient. Course I have pictures... tho I must add that was something else that managed to get thrashed. (I am being kind... I am not going to go into the pain and anger and who did what... I do not think it will help anything now.)
I will try to check the blog more often. I want you all to know I am okay... I am a strong woman who will survive all of this and come out better for it. I am excited about buying a house. It will take a few months at the least, as you all well know. Love you all,
Laura

Excellent news and a request !!!
Gee summer is busy
between birthdays n baby n college n gardening n the remodel at work
I honestly have lost all sense of time
I have another week off of work next week :) SO I am asking for an
extension on my stitching... (Colleen)....
above is a fob ... I have a ton of things to post on my site... I just
have to figure out the details ... so far I can only add 10.... I am thinkin of adding them all to ETSY and renumbering them so that it all makes sense...
this way it definitely would work better for payment by all....
I have excellent news as well :) I got an A + in both of my finals this last week!
I am in total shock... esp. on my Buddhism final... that was scary... the instructor was hard....
HUGS to all
let me know if u need time...
and .... please post pics if u get some :)
HUGS to all
:) Laura who misses u
but has a week of vacation from work.... :) and this means much more than a vaca
from college.... :) yay!

RR Ladies Plugging Along to the Finish Line!
I have been working every minute I had since Friday on my three ladies round - ready to send to Laura on Fri/Sat this weekend! I have about 4 more hours of work to do on her and off she goes for the final round and final touches! Quite lovely - top and bottom of fabric are sort of on the skimpy side - but I know with mine I will make it into a pillow - so I know that I will be adding fabric all around!
Cannot wait to see what everyone does with theirs. I am also making my Egyptian Sampler into a pillow for my sister in CT . So I will do both at the same time. Hoping to have them done by end of summer!
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the weather and family and fun wherever you are!

absolutely forever !!!
It has been absolutely forever since I have posted here...
I have missed you all terribly...
Just 2 days since my final... and I am already feeling relief...
it was just too much... and I took a long needed break...
now my break will include blogging, stitching, beading, reading, spending wonderful time with my family, and being so glad that the remodel at work is done in my area :)
Thank you all for your patience...
I will stitch on both the 3 Ladys project and on Red Poppy...
and send the 3 Ladys by the 15th :)
thats when I go to school for 9 weeks... 1 course... thats it :)
then I am done ... graduate ;) yay!!!
I have not been too crafty except to finish the fobs needed for my shop...
Caroline was the lucky winner of my free fobs contest at the HAeD stitchalong group....
Hope all is well
Vanessa... please just send the piece no matter how much is done ... whenever you like... as I will have so much stitching time :) and I am so so relieved to have it back :)
hugs to all
and you will see much more of me now ;)
thank you all for your patience
....
I truly could not do more than I did....

Hi everyone... miss you here
I have been super busy, as always. How is it that it is even more busy
although I feel like it should be slowing down ??? lol
the good news is I have been stitching and getting A`s in my classes
:) I also have had Dante this past Sat... and he is such a cutie
he now says... baby, boy and Dante... and walks 5 steps
... and still such a comedian :)
He will be a year old on May 23rd, and on the 24th I will have his
birthday party here... he will go to the zoo the day before with Grandma T and
other family :) ... so he is sure to have an eventful birthday weekend...
I also finally figured out the photobucket albums below :) for those who have not yet seen them. :)
I love them both ...
I will post lots more soon :) I have a 4 day weekend ;) :) :)
I also got a new phone today :) so I spent a lot of time getting that put together
and both of my boys will get a new phone too...
I have stitched on:
Red Poppy (some)
and
3 Ladies round :) (LOTS!)
happy stitching to all...
I really need some blog time :)

I'm passing this along to my stitching sisters. We have an opportunity to help raise money to fight cancer just by stitching. Stitching For a Cure (http://stitchingforacure.blogspot.com/) is an opportunity to donate hand-stitched ornaments for a Christmas tree that will be auctioned in November. There is a list of freebie ornament patterns on the blog. How easy could it be to make a difference? Donna has a goal of 200 ornies. This should be no problem for all of us to meet.
Thanks for looking everyone!Stitching For a Cure

Dante 4-4-09
Gee ... Dante is getting so big!!!
He is really forming words... everything
is a challenge to him ... I love that about
him... he looks at everything like "I can do
this!"
I think I will learn more from him than he
will from me...
Such a good boy!
