A finish & a start!!

Last night was a good night as I finally finished up PSS Morning Bird

This is my #3 finish for 2009! Wow even I am impressed with myself! But then I don't have much of a life, so I stitch with all my free time! And of course as much as I can when my pain is under control for the time! I stitched this PSS design over 2 threads on 28ct mushroom colored evenweave, with DMC floss! I can't wait to get this framed and up for everyone to see, I really should start framing my finishes, if I did I could probably fill a couple of walls! Yeah, its been awhile since I framed , I just keep adding the finishes to my very full tub I have just for them!
I had enough fabby left over from Morning Bird, so I started Midnight Stitching Quaker Faith Hope Love design

I received this chart, fabby and Sampler Threads from my secret sister Donna)thank you again!) I hope she sees my blog so she can see my stitching!
I also wanted to share a few pictures of my kitties, as they lounge and nap, only to be disturbed by me trying to snap a picture of them! LOL I want to come back as a cat in my next life! I think I already have the napping part down! :)
Here is Jinx, she was actually sleeping in the "cat bed" , go figure! LOL

And here is Peek-a-Boo, I bothered him while lounging in "My" bed?? Or is it his bed? LOL

And last but not least, is Samantha, who unless she opens her eyes, she is just a blob of black! The picture makes her look like an alien cat! Wonder what happened while I wasn't here? LOL

Ok, well I am off to stitch a bit more before bed, and I may just have another finish to show off tomorrow, as this quaker is stitching up quickly!

Oh So Close.......

Yay! I finally stopped and took a pic of my PSS Morning Bird progress! This pic is from last night, and I am oh so close to being done! I have'nt stitched on it today as of yet, so maybe if I can get my act together today with my errands and such, I will be able to finish this up and have another finish for 2009!!

I just added a Sales/Trade album link here on my blog, so if you are looking for something to stitch have a look! I am trying to collect 123 GC to buy hand dyed floss for a couple of LHN&CCN charts I have!!
So off to start another week. I have a doctors appt tomorrow and will hopefully then have a new doctor to take over my pain management! The in between visits to non supporting docs who dont take my insurance and a trip to the ER are not fun, and I just want to be back on a regular pain management schedule, and not run out of medicines!!!
I hope everyone had a great weekend, it is actually sunny here today, though still chilly. The sunshine goes a long way to lift peoples spirits and makes happier people!! Ok so I am off to get stuff done around here so I can sit and stitch this evening and hopefully will have a finish to show you tomorrow!!

My Morning Bird Progress

Well, its been 2 days since I last posted a wip of PSS Morning Bird, and now that I am feeling better, I have made lots of progress on it and I finally made it down to the trees part! I am so enjoying this, and it really is hard to put down, like a good book, up til the wee hours of the morning, losing track of time!








I am looking forward to Friday, when I can either post to the Friday "Wip's" or "finishes" thread at 123 Stitch



If you have never been to this MB or cross stitch site, you really should check it out! I have met the nicest people there and made some really good friendships too! Maybe I will see you over there!


Well I am off to stitch a bit more, though not sure how long I can stay awake tonight as I didn't get a nap today!


Happy Stitching!

PSS Morning Bird Started

Well here I am posting late Sunday night, cause this is the first time I have been on the computer all weekend! I have felt icky for the past 3-4 days, and mostly slept or when I did try to stitch I sometimes found myself falling asleep! Have you ever tried stitching and falling asleep at the same time? LOL Its hilarious where you find your stitches! hahaha

So I started stitching on Plum Street Samplers, "Morning Bird" late Friday and with my limited stitching time, I am not as far along as I would have liked! But I am having fun stitching this, I so love the vibrant "Fall" type colors and they really look good on the mushroom evenweave too!

So I am hoping I get more stitched in the next few days! I am so loving the border, but really itching to get down to the trees!! I hope Paulette gets to see my progress on this! She was my "Enabler"! Thanks Paulette!
Ok, I am off to get a bit more stitiching in while I feel well enough, then off to bed. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Hi, my name is Pauline and I'm a XS addict!

So, I gave into the urge to start something new, before(again) finishing something! I Made a trip into Joann's Fabric to use my 50% coupons to get some 28 ct mushroom evenweave...plus one DMC color (680) I couldn't believe I didn't have! I am the woman who cleaned out 3 Walmarts within a 40 mile radius when it was being clearanced out at .10 cents each last summer! Isn't this always the case though? LOL I got to use one of my 50% off coupons on the newest Just Cross Stitch too, so that was worth the trip! And it looks to be a good issue and I know I will stitch a few things from it, but I have to show you this nice design in it that I am itchin' to start too, it's called The Scroll Pillow and it calls for a single shade of Crescent Colours Belle Soie silk floss, but I can't afford the "nice" floss right now, so will settle for a nice shade of DMC.

So I also kitted up Plum Street Samplers "Morning Bird", that is why I needed the evenweave above! Wanted to make at least a few stitches on it tonight, but I got all involved with trying to make my blog look better! I am new at the Blog thing and learning as I go!

Oh, Enabler alert! After browsing Paulette's Blog(PSS Designs), she posted a picture of a quaker finish her mom stitched up for her, and had forgotten that I had that chart, it is a Monasterium Design called Willie's Quaker Square #7, and was featured in TGOS June 2008 Issue! So, of course I couldn't resist a quaker, especially one I had here at hand, and I forgot! LOL

Me forgetting....reminds me(LOL) of a cute email Jan B sent me today about our "Forgetter" is broken! If I remember(oh this is bad puns) LOL I will post the cute little poem for you all to see and enjoy!

Ok off to bed for me, again I find myself staying up too late, no wonder I need naps all the time! LOL

Pics are of Morning Bird kitted up, Willie's Quaker kitted up, and the Just Cross stitch design.
