It's been a long month :)

So I've been really bad at getting my daily posts up because really not worked on anything. Last Tues. I skyped with Delana and it was really cool how it felt like we were together at Starbucks crafting again. While we skyped I got 2 puffs done. That was Tues.All was good until that night and the flu hit me hard and kicked my ass! Lol
I was in bed wed thru Fri and could not do anything. Flu and I had a fight and the flu won .lol

Then Yesterday had to go move Brandi out of dorm and in her apartment . It poured rain the whole day and driving home it snowed. What the hell is up with this weather?
Left at 5 am and didn't get home till 10 pm. Long day! But got her moved in and took her dog and 2 gecko's to her.
Today I  did 7 puffs and had enough of one color to join flower.
So here is the puff breakdown.
Did 16 puffs for march as of last Tues.and did 9 puffs total this week.so tomorrow I have to do 6 puffs to catch up for March.

I decided I'm gonna go around flower puffs with this green apple color . So main color of quilt will be apple green.I ordered 10 balls and have one.Hopefully it will be enough.

So started over and I think its all good now.Did not make puff but did put together 2 that needed joined.


I'm really enjoying cross stitching again. I need Delana to motivate me to get puffs going again:)
I think I need Skype time tomorrow with my bff Delana:)

Its been a crazy few days :) Had my mom and dad stop by today and gave my dad and Bruce haircuts.  Brandi is home for a week from college. 
But yesterday went to Cincinnati with pixie to get Brandi.Here is my try at selfie in car yesterday.lol
So I did get 2 puffs done today. But nothing else craft wise.
Yesterday on my way to get Brandi I stopped at joann's and bought cloth for save the stitches cross stitch project I'm gonna start.But called Delana and found out fabric not big enough so stopped at cross my heart just in time before they closed and got right size.
I think I'm gonna start this next week.
Need to work tomorrow on getting Delana B day gift done :)

Goal is to someday have all DMC colors:)

Didn't get much done today on cross stitch quilt. Been out shopping all day and took long nap.lol
And my 1st March puff.


Friday, February 28, 2014

Got puff done early today
Then decided to put together another flower cause my puff yesterday gave me enough .I really love these colors together. The yellow/ gold yarn is twisted sister yarn. I love that yarn.It has rayon and cotton in it. Like butter to work with.


Started my quilt cross stitch.Not a lot done but hand giving me fits so taking it slow.
Also spent way to much time deciding what color combo wanted to do for first block.lol
