I was hoping to be updating from my phone now, but I discovered while doing this post that the mobile Blogger app sucks. I was really hoping to be able to access my blog and my reading list from the app, but apparently not. So, now I have to put this on my to-do list again and it may be hit or miss. Instragram seems to be my go-to place now for my cross stitch updates.</div>

Autumn Fur by Kit & Bixby. <br />
<br />
It looks as though my stitching in the next few months may be curtailed a bit. Or a lot, we'll see. My work schedule is changing again next month and I'm losing my "weekend" and will be working a split week, which I hate. Sigh, such is life, I guess, but it still sucks. I see a lot of retail therapy in my future to help me through the pain, lol. But, I REALLY don't need to add to the stash! It's getting a bit ridiculous as it is. I was planning on doing a lot of smalls anyway, and so I might still have progress even with less stitching time, unlike with the BAP's. Or we all may be blown away by Irma or Jose and it all won't matter anyway. And with that happy thought,<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!<br />

<br />
The extra 2 or 3 days I've had to stitch this month really made a difference in addition to there not being so many color changes on this page. So far, so good on my plan to stick with this one until she's done.<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching,<br />

Now just three more pages and a little strip under those left to do. I will definitely get her done this year, and hopefully long before the end of the year. And I have three extra stitching days this month, so I hope to get a page finished by the end of the month. Fingers crossed. <br />
<br />
Happy Stitching,<br />

I think I'm about halfway done with this page and with a couple of vacation days coming up in July, maybe I can make some real progress if I can manage to make myself sit down and actually stitch instead of watching Flosstube, reading Facebook groups, and shopping for cross stitch!<br />

Today's plan for the future stitching is to finish Little Flutterby, then move on the Peacock Band Sampler, then finish the 1999 Prairie Schooler Santa I have started, and then get back to my Trick or Treat Sampler. Then I can dig into my wanna-do pile. I often think I would like to get back to being a one-at-a-time stitcher again, but then I look through the wanna-do pile and my best intentions go right out the window! And mostly, I feel like I'm in a time warp. I cannot believe how fast time whizzes by these days. I'm very nostalgic for those long, lazy days of my youth. Sigh. <br />
<br />
Happy Stitching,<br />

She's coming along so nicely, I don't want to put her down. My poor band sampler is being neglected. No progress on that this month. I was planning on working on that on Memorial Day, but I was on a roll with cutie pie. June is again looking packed with things to do, the calendar is bulging, but I'm taking a couple of days vacation time next month, so maybe I will get at least one stitching day, hopefully. I'm beyond ready for life to be bland and boring again. <br />
<br />
Happy Stitching,<br />

I've been getting an urge for smalls again, but I'm trying my best not to start anything new until one or two of the current projects are finished. A friend of mine finished a lot of the Mill Hill Diamonds recently and, of course, I had to finish my collection when I saw how beautiful hers made up! Maybe 2018 will be the year of smalls again, who knows? Then there are all those new goodies winging their way to me and I will be changing direction once again, lol. <br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!<br />

Life got a little crazy this past week or two and isn't settling down anytime soon it looks like. Hopefully, next month I can catch a little break. Meanwhile, I'll keep plugging away when I can.<br />

March is a busy month at work and I can't seem to get a quiet weekend to sit and stitch lately. Spring is springing, though, and that makes things seem a little brighter at times.<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching,<br />

<br />
I'm moving right along on the Northern Expressions Peacock Band Sampler. My Trick or Treat Sampler ended up getting kicked off my stand, lol. I do plan to get back to it once the band sampler is done. <br />

I'm well into band 6 now where it's Jessica Stitchpalooza. <br />
<br />
The weatherman's calling for anywhere between 4-9 inches of snow here Saturday, so maybe I'll get a snow stitching day. I'm not counting on it, though. Usually, when we have a weather event, I'm too busy looking out the window or looking at people's pictures on the computer to get anything done. And then it's an hour or two shoveling snow and cleaning off the car so I can get to work on Sunday. Blech. Can't you Northerners keep your snow up there, please?<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!<br />

It will be back down to about 67 for the high on Saturday, so I refuse to turn the A/C back on. At least there is a nice breeze to go along with the baking sunshine! Better than the 60 mph winds and 12 inches of rain we got from Hurricane Matthew last week. That was certainly one for the record books around here. I was one of the lucky ones with minimal issues. Anyway, on to the stitching!<br />
<br />
I'm trying to get back to my Victoria Sampler Trick or Treat Sampler because I need to finish it so I can put a shiny new project on my stand. More on that later. I don't know if I will get it finished before I cave to the new one, though. <br />

The little trick or treaters were the end of me the other night and I just could not look at it any longer. <br />
<br />
So, the next morning, I picked up my HAED Little Flutterby.<br />

The new impending project I discovered on youtube. It's one of those where the model picture just didn't do anything for me, but seeing other WIP's put the WOW factor in it. This will be Northern Expressions Peacock Band Sampler, specialty stitch version. It will be on 32 ct Pearl Grey Belfast. It also has several thousand beads, which are still in transit.<br />

I started and finished a project my Mom wanted me to do for her. It's a Linda Myers design on antique white 40 ct. 1 over 2.<br />

I just wound the Wale-Welsh Slate and maybe I can get my sock knitting bug back with these beauties if I can ever get the last two inches and toe of my Pucker sock done.<br />

Stitched on 25 count wedgewood lugana 1 x 1. I'm not sure how I will finish it yet, but I'm thinking of having it done as a flat fold.<br />
<br />
I also finished the posies.<br />

I've two new starts, one HAED QS and a quilt sampler piece for my mom. I'm hoping to get some serious stitching in today, but first I must manage to tear myself away from this computer! <br />

Nothing actually finished this month, but a couple of things close. First is the Summer Wings Humbug by Just Nan. All that is left is to put on the beads and the backstitched border and put it together. It's currently in limbo now because I just don't want to pick it up.<br />

And I CANNOT wait to get started on Little Flutterby! She is so stinking cute! I will finish the happy couple first, though. It's a good thing they are stitching up quickly (for a HAED). <br />
<br />
I've probably forgotten something, but I can't remember what. Serves me right for not doing this weekly like I used to! <br />
<br />
Thank you for your comments! I do appreciate them, although I know I am the worst for responding. I'm not usually signed in when I read blogs (which I used to do at work, but computer use has been curtailed there) so I am also bad about leaving comments. In fact, I've gotten bad about reading blogs as that was how I passed the slow time at work, but there is no slow time to fill at home, so I tend to avoid the computer as much as possible, which is why there are fewer blog posts, too. Vicious cycle. And my gmail is not currently my primary email so I never check it either. I really should not be allowed to have a computer license! But I do love this community and I will continue to share and hopefully inspire. Maybe I can help your slow day go a little quicker. :D<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!<br />

Not only is it the busiest time of year at work, which often leaves me too tired to stitch much, but I have been sick for the entire month of March and the end of February. First, it was a cold or sinus infection something or other. I was finally getting rid of that when I fell ill with the flu. And what a nasty flu bug it is this year!! I ended up with a lot of inflammation in my ribs and was in quite a bit of pain for almost two weeks, and that was in addition to the first week of the actual flu. I'm finally feeling improvement with that, but still sore and tender, especially if I do too much. Didn't get much stitching, or anything else at all, done since any movement was a new experience in pain. Just lay on the couch with my chest packed in ice. Such a shame to have had all that time off work and not be able to have any stitching to show for it! Easter Sunday I resolved to stitch if it killed me! <br />
<br />
I had finished a page on my Dress in February, I think:<br />

I am already halfway through the next page. Then it's one more full page and a half page and I will be at the bottom! My goal is to finish this column of pages by the end of this year. So, what amounts to 2 full pages and 9 months. Definitely doable. Provided I don't get distracted. Sooooo many wonderful new designs out this spring! Sooooo many wonderful old designs in my stash! Soooooo much temptation! I'm doomed. <br />
<br />
With any luck, I'll be back by the end of April with another page finish. Fingers crossed!<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!<br />

Besides getting the mouse put together and writing this blog, it doesn't look as though I will be getting much more done before going back to work on Saturday. I'm hoping for a stitching marathon over New Year's, though! Wishing everyone a peaceful holiday!<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas!<br />

Since I last was here, I have, I think, finished a pair of socks and have a half pair done. I started a shawl last month, but the yarn color was knitting up hideously. It was bad. So it took me a week or so to settle on a new pattern. Now I'm just doing a simple feather and fan scarf and it is looking slightly better. It was originally intended to be a gift, but it is not what I had in mind color-wise, so we'll see. However, it seems I have set it aside again to stitch. Not as much progress on that as I would have liked in the past month. My vacation last month consisted of me trying to kill myself cleaning the house. So, in the evenings I was too tired to do much of anything. I've just hit the halfway point on the current page.<br />
<br />

<br />
There's only two and a half pages left in this column! Maybe I can finish those by the end of 2016? Probably wishful thinking. And there are so many new lovely designs out this year! It's so hard to be monogamous!<br />
<br />
I haven't given up on the blogging, even if I have been scarce, I just haven't had the inclination to be on the computer much and I haven't had anything worth sharing for updates on projects. I'm sure the cycle will come round again as it usually does. Until then,<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!<br />

I've set aside the little stitches for my HAED's again. Hmmmm....I think I left a needle roll 80% done, just have to put on beads and put together. Maybe I'll get back to it eventually, lol.<br />
<br />
I picked up my Dress of Daydreams again, finally. I also tried out parking my threads. It helped tremendously with the confetti! Since finishing this page, I seem to have lost my stitching mojo, though. This is 11 pages completed now.<br />

I don't remember if I put a progress pic of Curl Up or not, so here it is.<br />

<br />
So, there's my last 3 or so months of stitching progress (well, except for that needle roll, which I'm too lazy to go upstairs and get to photograph). I now have more of an inclination to knit socks and finished up a pair that had been on the needles for months:<br />

We've had entirely too much snow and ice for our area the last couple of weeks, making it extremely stressful for me getting to and from work, as I don't like the way people around here drive in poor conditions (actually, I don't like the way they drive in good conditions, either). And this is how they end up:<br />

So, I'm glad we only have to deal with this weather once in a while, unlike so many up north! And they are calling for a little wintry mess tomorrow night! YUCK. I'm enjoying the heck out of the 60's out there today! Hurry up, Spring!!<br />

Happy Stitching,<br />

I have the Just Nan Gingerbread Cube all stitched, I just need to put the beads on this week. I think I will try to get back to Curl Up for New Year's with a few little things thrown in for good measure.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas!<br />
