Closer to the finish...

Well, I have been plugging along on VoHRH and well into the final box.  This definietly will be an acomplishment when I am finally finished.

I have also been busy collecting stash and deciding what my next start will be.  A few of the patterns that I really want to work on call for NPI, of couse the colors that I don't already have.

I am also desperately looking for the Just Cross Stitch October 2008 Issue.  If you know of anyone who would be willing to part with it please let me know.

There are a few patterns that I have seen completed that I would really love to stitch.

I am getting ready for Thanksgiving, so will start baking tomorrow and Wednesday.  My daughter and her BF and my BF's mother will be comming over.  This is my favorite time of year and am really looking forward to having a lot of stitching time this long weekend too.

Here is wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

Cheers,

Stephanie

Pictures and Stitching

As promised a picture from my office window in San Diego, as you can see it was a beautiful day yesterday in San Diego....well almost everyday is!

I'm sad to say I am not finished with box 11 on VoHRH, but I am getting closer.  I hope to be able to finish the door and start on the grass tonight.  So within the next day or two I should be on to the final box of this piece.  For those of you who have not stitched this piece the final box is completely filled in....so that should be fun.

I have also been aquiring more stash and trying to decide what my next start will be. The picture below shows La D Da's "Something Wicked", Exampler Dames "And They Sinned" and "Paradise Lost" by Plum Street Samplers.

And last but not least for today a picture of Vegas, when not sleeping keeping a watchful eye over my stash.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day....thanks for checking my blog!!

Tuesday in San Diego

On the train in route to San Diego. Although it is a beautiful ride, it is my least favorite day of the week. I work from home 4 days a week and go into the office on Tuesdays which is located in downtown San Diego, so I guess i can't complain too much, just a really long day. Those of you that are familiar with SD it is very close to Sea Port Village. The weather is very fall like and cool today. I will try and take a picture with my phone and post it when I get home.

As for the "great" VoHRH, I am getting closer to finishing box 11. I will post a picture later tonight or tomorrow of my progress. I have also been adding to my stash lately with a lot of Blackbird Designs. I have the anniversary designs by BBD partially kitted up and am dying to start. I just really want to finish the village before I start anything else.

I am still slowly but surely organizing my silks with the floss organization system that I talked about in a previous post. I just hate taking time away from stitching to organize floss....lol.

I am getting closer to my stop, but I will post either later today or tomorrow with some pictures.

Cheers,

Stephanie

Happy Saturday!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far.  The temperature has finally dropped in Southern California.  It has been in the 90's most of the week and I believe there is a chance of rain later this afternoon.

We are going to visit my BF's mother today who lives in Temecula.  We are going to breakfast and then to a movie and will be back early for the 7:30 pm USC game tonight.  

I'm going to bring my VoHRH with me hoping I wll get to do a little stitching.  I am getting closer to finising filling in the school house and am hoping I will almost have the block done by the end of the weekend.  Maybe wishful thinking on my part, but I can hope. I also need to bring out Quaker Christmas to try and finish that one at some point.  I will take pictures of both tomorrow as well as a kitted up new project.

Have a great Saturday stitiching!!

VoHRH Update

Hope everyone's Halloween was safe and fun.  For the second year in a row not many trick or treaters, only three to be exact.  I really don't think I will be passing out candy next year sense I seem to get stuck with it...lol.

My Yorkie Vegas in his monkey costume.

It has been pretty warm in Southern California the past few days but the temperature is supposed to drop significantly this weekend.  I am really looking forward to watching college football and stitching.

I am making more progress on the 11th square on VoHRH.  I really cannot wait to finish this piece it really seems like it is taking a long time.  I guess if I just worked on it solely and not my other WIP's it would be done by now.

I hope everyone is having a great week and getting ready for the hollidays.

Cheers,

Stephanie
