House?

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Hey, our new house actually looks like…. a house!

I’ll be uploading tons more photos tomorrow.
On the stitching front, I’ve been working on a Prairie Schooler Santa for the PS Wreath SAL. I’m doing the eight santas from Old St. Nicholas II. The first is almost finished - I should be […]

My Neighborhood RR

Friday, July 27th, 2007

My Neighborhood RR should be arriving soon, and I’ve finally found my pictures of it, so I figured I ought to post about it

Here’s part of the letter I wrote to my fellow stitchers….
“Since my last name is Winter, I’ve decided to have a Winter Wonderland neighborhood. I’ve started it out with […]

I really am back!

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

I survived the trip! The Police concert was amazing, and I got to ride my new favorite roller coaster at Hershey Park. I tried to stop at an LNS while we were there, but unfortunately by the time we found it on Saturday, they were closed. Ah well, by then I […]

SBQ: The Choices We Make

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

Yes, I’m really alive! We had a good time seeing The Police at Hershey, but the rest of the trip was very tiring. We’ve been back since Monday, and I’ve only just managed to start laundry, and we still haven’t gone grocery shopping. Anyway, I should have a bigger post tomorrow, […]

Ever heard of LOLcats?

Weekend?

Monday, July 16th, 2007

Oh my goodness, this was supposed to be a nice relaxing weekend! What happened, you may ask? Well, at around 6pm on Friday, we got an email from our builder that our pre-drywall meeting was scheduled for Tuesday morning. Now, seeing as we had repeatedly told them that we wanted to […]

SBQ: Storing Stuff

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Another belated SBQ:
How do you store your WIPs and other projects that you have kitted up?
Uh, currently? Not very well. Usually whatever I’m currently working is strewn about on my armchair and the couch next to it. Anything else is hopefully packed away in a ziploc bag, somewhere around the chair. […]

Review: Just Cross Stitch August 2007

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Here’s another review - this time of Just Cross Stitch. Keep in mind this is totally subjective - there are quite a few things I don’t like, like most florals and chunky buttons, and you’ll never see me review a Stoney Creek magazine, because I simply don’t like that style. I […]

Almost there!

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

I am soooo close to being finished with “W”!

Just a little bit on the border, and that teeny bit in the lower left corner, and it’ll be ALL FINISHED! I love stitching on this, and I do love the way it looks, but it’s just not my type of thing. It’s a […]

SBQ: Challenging Projects

Monday, July 9th, 2007

I’m quite a few SBQs behind, so I’m going to try to catch up this week. Here’s the first SBQ I missed:
What has been your most challenging project and why?
I guess the question would have to be: finished or unfinished?

Unfinished, it’s Amazing Grace by Bucilla. First I switched the fabric to […]
