More changes....

Greetings friends! More changes are occuring in my life; along with the weather. I will soon be moving to a place that is close to heaven on Earth as possible. It's just gorgeous!! I can't wait to live there and experience new things/surroundings/people. =) I'll have more time to get back to the things I love, my writing, my stitching, my sanity. Haha. My heart is guiding me there and it's just time to go and move on. So wish me luck as it's occuring at the end of this month. THen there is the search for a job which I have faith will happen soon. God willing plus this area is still calm from the economy wrath. Let's hope it stays that way. Happy Stitchin! *hugs*

change...

Well friends, I've got so frustrated with uploading my backgrounds and customizing my blog; that this month I went cheap and got a prefab template. I defintely like the style though the top decoration is a bit garish. I will have to play with the features and spice it up a bit more somehow. Come now, for those that know me, I have to add my own touch to things. ;) Speaking of change, I have decided that 2009 is going to have that them. I recently began this process by updating my glasses and the frames for the first time in about 5 years for the glasses, 10 for the frames. I put them on and didn't even realize I had blue eyes! LOL Just goes to show that coke bottle glasses do tend to hide your eyes and God gave me blue ones to show off. =)

On the homefront, still working my tail off it seems. Work is starting to settle down but with the recent economy; we have taken some cuts. Mainly our bosses attitude has gone from bitter to just plain sour. She's doing things all wrong. She's after the ones that actually do their job and doesn't give a flying fart in space about those that don't. We have people that come to work and do nothing but yet I get ridden like a horse if I don't do something. And just for the record, I've done it she's just too lazy to actually look to see that I've done it. The transition is going to be major as a lot of my coworkers will be leaving this next month or so. I have to be honest, I haven't seen this much movement in a company ever. However, I'm only there myself till I get my ticket to freedom and it's coming soon! =)

On the stitching front, I've been plugging away at the solider piece. All that red is going to drive me bananas!! It's not the actual red color, it's the 15 different shade variations. It's a Stoney creek which to me is like chocolate on a diet. You know you shouldn't have them but they are so pretty and when you endulge you go overboard. Then later on realize, what the hell have I gotten myself into. It'll be stunning if I can ever get it finished. Then it's on to other various small projects and nametags for my coworkers. They were supposed to be Christmas gifts but well, nevermind. =X So that's what I've been up to...I do hope to post more often. I miss writing and blogging. Maybe I'll make a tape of myself saying you must stitch and blog then fall asleep to it. During sleep the mind is quite responsive, hey it could work. LOL

Happy stitchin!!

back to square one design wise apparently. So, I have to play with this a bit and make it pretty again as right now it's quite blah. Be patient, but for now I must go stitch!

Big changes...

Big changes are coming to this blog. A new background and maybe even an actual post that's uplifting and full of cool pictures of things I've made! Of course this means I need to lock myself up in my room this weekend and hibernate with stitching in one hand, food nearby and a movie supply ready and waiting. Stay tuned for the changes...the "Holiday" bug is starting to nibble at me. =)

Hope you are all doing just peachy!! *hugs*

Life and the chaotic way it is...

Hello all my stitchy/bloggy friends! I'm still alive! Trying now to catch something with the recent temperature changes and close quarters at work but still hanging in there. I do have a sincere apology to make as I will not be able to complete the memorial project in time to present to the person in NOv. Due to lots of things, mainly the major one being having to restart the project due to a spill on the original piece, I just will not have time to stitch it. I could rush through it but the meaning behind this piece deserves to have the proper treatment and time dedicated to this project. Therefore, I will unfortunately not have it ready in time. I gravely apologize but do hope that you understand. I will, however, honor my promise of making this piece as I am not a woman whom backs down on her word. As per a suggestion, it might be able to be presented in March. I thank you for your patience and understanding and assure you it will be well worth the wait.

I will continue to stitch on it when I can and display progress pictures. I do have one to show however I am on a break at work, thus unable to display it. Speaking of that break at work, it is now over so I must bid thee adieu. Keep stitching!! Stay warm!

*hugs*

Short picture loaded post....

Hi everyone! So sorry that I haven't been very active on this blog lately but I have been stitching when I have some free time. Several projects in the works. The most important and time consuming is this memorial piece for a fallen soldier. This is what the finished picture will look like. Sadly, I can't post a progress picture yet as it's majority white right now and does not show clearly on the camera. =( But trust me ladies, it will be done and I am working on it! =)



The poem says: Freedom-- Cherish your freedom and guard it with honor and respect for it carries the blood of those who gave it to you.

Hopefully by the weekend I will be out of the white area and can post a picture with some COLOR!!!

Next project is for me and someone special =) Hehe...



It will say, two hearts one soul and will be a bookmark to go into a very special book. =)

So not much, but it's something...more to come....my birthday is friday so i'll have plenty of stitching time then!

Hugs and take care!! Happy Stitchin!
