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!

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
