This is from the<a href="http://www.lizziekate.com/" target="_blank"> Lizzie Kate</a> Mystery Sampler Club, stitched on 28ct white evenweave with DMC 310.<br />
I'm still working on part 3, so it won't be done for this Halloween, but for sure next and even framed :)<br />
<br />
Have a safe night.<br />

What makes you happy ? There are 3 things in this picture that make me happy, stitching, chocolate and JCS's Christmas Ornaments. I have gone through this magazine numerous times trying to decide which ones to stitch. They are all so nice it's hard to pick.<br />

I hope to rectify that. I do read your blogs, may or may not comment, but I do love to see what is being stitched. <br />
<br />
Even though we have been having great weather the last few months, I am so ready for Autumn. The picture on the blog header is from last year. Won't be long now that I'll be getting one this year. <br />
<br />
I do have stitching to show, but that will have to wait. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
First, I must show you the pillow I bought from Mary Kathryn over at <a href="http://marykathryn.wordpress.com/">eHandcrafts </a>. It suits me to a T !</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course I had to put one of my favorite chocolates in the picture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am 99.9% better with the pinched nerve. The tip of my index finger is still frozen. The Dr. says it may still come around, but it's been a while and I can't see it getting any better. It's not painful, just very awkward.<br /><br />I've been doing some stitching, this is where it gets awkward holding the needle, but I can still stitch :) I'll be sharing some photos soon.<br /><br />Our weather has been so crazy. We'll get some really nice days, hot and sunny, then wham it rains. Last Thursday and Friday were the craziest, rain for a couple of hours then sunny, then back to rain. At one point the rain was coming down so hard it was bouncing off the road.<br /><br />I got my new camera today, it is a Sony Cyber-shot and so far I am liking it. Still have some things to figure out.<br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2YCohOgZ_pzUTGQlQ9sKc1G-9oLEPBjuu7o_-n12VZTutvbOweGSROGUPQmPzp9R4pRb6odAkSisdLN-gJ_ev5KCqgE3t8xx3mQa1uZSba1QtN582LYF9C6421JSnzViwo8US/s1600/Tiger+%25231.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623404738094133506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2YCohOgZ_pzUTGQlQ9sKc1G-9oLEPBjuu7o_-n12VZTutvbOweGSROGUPQmPzp9R4pRb6odAkSisdLN-gJ_ev5KCqgE3t8xx3mQa1uZSba1QtN582LYF9C6421JSnzViwo8US/s320/Tiger+%25231.jpg" /></a></p>This is the very first picture I took.

I am much better today, but this has been a week of utter excruciating pain. It started late Saturday and by late Sunday afternoon I could not stand it anymore so I went to the local clinic and they prescribed an anti inflammatory. It may have been doing it's job, but the pain was still there. Wednesday morning I went to see my doctor and she knew right away that it was a pinched nerve. Prescribed a muscle relaxant and something for the nerve. I went for x-rays, but don't know the results yet. She also told me I should go for physio therapy. I had my first session of physio yesterday and whatever they did has helped a lot. </p><br />I'm right handed, so naturally that would be the one effected. I tried several times during this week to use the computer, but as soon as I touched the mouse I screamed in pain. Needless to say there is no stitching. <br /><p></p><br />Since I felt better today I thought I would give it a try, but right now my fingers are saying that's enough. <br /><p></p><br />Hope to be back soon. <br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/121/E4148FD9B73643384D3F65EADDE70ED8.png" /></a>Irenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15184381987217397026noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35190354.post-15472144413960977702011-05-21T13:16:00.000-07:002011-05-21T13:48:15.416-07:00A Pair of Pincushions<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGRENwgI7IQK1bLGDC-GUfwrIFt8yNqwf5baDHC5NzfqDU6uKBrCaW_JYpQSTYX6rYO8TlZZnFq0_nE6nCgVO9aJTcGsP7piwFrMcHVvELHuaF5fcgdsbVEFS3xloQ7hprs6wr/s1600/BB+A+Stitchers+Journey.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609271742520454658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGRENwgI7IQK1bLGDC-GUfwrIFt8yNqwf5baDHC5NzfqDU6uKBrCaW_JYpQSTYX6rYO8TlZZnFq0_nE6nCgVO9aJTcGsP7piwFrMcHVvELHuaF5fcgdsbVEFS3xloQ7hprs6wr/s320/BB+A+Stitchers+Journey.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.dashdist.com/blackbird.html">Blackbird Designs<br /></a>A Stitcher's Journey<br />28ct. flax (?)

It's not raining as much and it seems the days are a bit warmer and of course longer. Took Tiger to Trout Lake yesterday and could not believe how excited she was. Our visits over the winter months have been sporadic. I really need to get into a better routine where we go more often, as we both could use the walk to get rid of some "winter flab".<br /><br />I leave you today with 2 more stitches from last year that I'm pretty sure I didn't blog about.<br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_YDR2PldATAIlk1CmyFM09u51gwxH0LLO91sTIzVPOsD1ztV4vyGeFIkgLpGFoYkXX9rB1aj-bVPdl-kOMOc-JiI9kbg1Z4tmCEVKDzQK4R9wFQOHExDj2pCsaDm7LV5TKGu2/s1600/LK+Spring.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586034229642899650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_YDR2PldATAIlk1CmyFM09u51gwxH0LLO91sTIzVPOsD1ztV4vyGeFIkgLpGFoYkXX9rB1aj-bVPdl-kOMOc-JiI9kbg1Z4tmCEVKDzQK4R9wFQOHExDj2pCsaDm7LV5TKGu2/s200/LK+Spring.jpg" /></a></p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.lizziekate.com/index.html">Lizzie Kate</a></p><div align="center">Spring Fab Fob </div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0DuZB4Uf7hhlilOJgB5eaFn-Y8YWb38jcqGJvMk63Fv254esdgiRyfRMraChg-Mib0WmLSZV1gBOa12PaMRb6SP6QnKwhPcLZnSXwPFAC_SmeBNCpUSRv_A4LLXxZPkwaflsf/s1600/3+Pink+bunnies.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586035823502535426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0DuZB4Uf7hhlilOJgB5eaFn-Y8YWb38jcqGJvMk63Fv254esdgiRyfRMraChg-Mib0WmLSZV1gBOa12PaMRb6SP6QnKwhPcLZnSXwPFAC_SmeBNCpUSRv_A4LLXxZPkwaflsf/s200/3+Pink+bunnies.jpg" /></a></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Not sure where these bunnies came from, I'm guessing a freebie. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/121/E4148FD9B73643384D3F65EADDE70ED8.png" /></a>Irenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15184381987217397026noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35190354.post-4403749388461606142011-03-19T16:11:00.000-07:002011-03-19T16:45:01.911-07:00ReadingA while ago I told you how I had gotten back into reading. As I was browsing around looking at book sites I came across this one that peeked my interest<br /><a href="http://www.stephaniebond.com/index.html">Body Movers by Stephanie Bond</a> . I read the first one and thought it's okay, but since I had purchased the first 3 as a bundle, I read on and couldn't stop till I reached book 6. Books 7 and 8 are on hold, as there are talks of making a TV series. I can't wait to find out what happens, so I'm hoping it will be soon, very soon. As for making it into a TV series, it could work with the right actors.<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB9aN1sD25XdBlrH_f4xtoZxJyMcnJM2FJNxfBuNtuPUsrrBSgPdchLdbLfD6mbzP5LpLouxKzgayEgxR6SXLgV7BOt-d5KHdkN7dsAw-VIlF69VbvY7sS5Yp9kFxVGmPmaLD2/s1600/Brown+Bunny.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585939518577477538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB9aN1sD25XdBlrH_f4xtoZxJyMcnJM2FJNxfBuNtuPUsrrBSgPdchLdbLfD6mbzP5LpLouxKzgayEgxR6SXLgV7BOt-d5KHdkN7dsAw-VIlF69VbvY7sS5Yp9kFxVGmPmaLD2/s200/Brown+Bunny.jpg" /></a></p>I stitched this bunny maybe 2 years ago, but don't think I posted about it. At the moment I can't remember whose design it is, am pretty sure it was a freebie.

Didn't do very much stitching on the ufo, started 4 new patterns, the last two above and 2 others. Have made more clutter out of my stash rather than organizing it. In fact, I feel like my whole life is a clutter right now and that is probably why I can't get organized never mind my house. </div><div></div><div></div><div><br />With the exception of today, which is a really nice dry sunny day, we have had nothing but rain and gloomy days. I'm not complaining, it could be worse, but it makes me feel so gloomy and miserable, I can't stand myself :) Good thing Tiger can't talk, she would tell you just how miserable I've been.<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/121/E4148FD9B73643384D3F65EADDE70ED8.png" /></a></div></div></div></div>Irenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15184381987217397026noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35190354.post-21794498939497342482011-01-17T14:59:00.000-08:002011-03-25T14:21:51.431-07:00Reading or StitchingI love to read, at least I used to all the time. When I worked full time (7 years ago) most lunch breaks you would find me with a book. I could have spent all my time reading. I did stitch, one project at a time and usually a large one, like L&L angels. Then when I retired somehow both those hobbies took a back seat. I guess helping Mom look after my Dad was more time consuming than I remember.<br /><br />I got back into stitching and discovered all these new designers whose patterns I fell in love with and started stitching and stitching and, well lets just say it has taken over, but I don't mind in the least. Just wish I could stitch as fast as they design.<br /><br />Then I bought an e-book (Sony) and as I didn't have anything to compare it with, thought it worked fine and didn't think too much about the fact that one page could be 4 lines and the next a full page. Not only was I helping to save trees, I was saving money by borrowing from the library without having to leave home. Only I still did not read like I used to, but at least I was reading a few books a year, probably what most of you read in a month.<br /><br />A few months ago I bought an iPad. You need an app for something, they most likely have it. There's ebooks and ibooks and I'm sure others. Well I finally figured out how to get books I already have onto ibooks and am impressed with it. Every page is full and it never stalls (at times the Sony would freeze up). In the last 2 days I have read 1 book and started another. Okay they are not intense or huge books, but hey this is a start back into a hobby I once thought I couldn't live without.<br /><br />The books are by an author I had never heard of, <a href="http://www.gayletrent.com/">Gayle Trent</a> . Murder Takes the Cake was so good I had to start Dead Pan right away. She has also written 2 books under the pseudonym Amanda Lee. These 4 books is all she has written, I do hope she continues the series with them.<br /><br />So if you like cozy murder mysteries, you will most likely like these.<br /><br />Now, the question is do I go stitch or read ?????<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/121/E4148FD9B73643384D3F65EADDE70ED8.png" /></a>Irenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15184381987217397026noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35190354.post-55508731369876809802011-01-14T15:23:00.001-08:002011-01-14T16:12:59.243-08:00Friday Finishes<div align="left">This was my New Year's Day start, I changed the year to 1919 in honour of my Dad's birth year.

Since there are 4 Fridays this month, I thought 2 every week was reasonable, but time just got away from me, maybe there will be 3 next Friday ;)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/121/E4148FD9B73643384D3F65EADDE70ED8.png" /></a>Irenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15184381987217397026noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35190354.post-77439455428827367562011-01-04T23:08:00.000-08:002011-01-04T23:32:09.404-08:00Wee One<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTH-dttyl4O5JMSpCdjjnctfEIBpq9PH4FCRz0GIJ6c4Bz_GmpyCEeZ1mRjxEM7mrrdI1PupgGLEYDB0GUHq7eOxe7LKFSnI93pEK8HWIWJ0c2pnkXLh92euAUNrbl96l93AEr/s1600/Jan+4+2011+003.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558596735980295666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTH-dttyl4O5JMSpCdjjnctfEIBpq9PH4FCRz0GIJ6c4Bz_GmpyCEeZ1mRjxEM7mrrdI1PupgGLEYDB0GUHq7eOxe7LKFSnI93pEK8HWIWJ0c2pnkXLh92euAUNrbl96l93AEr/s200/Jan+4+2011+003.jpg" /></a></div><div align="center">Winter Bird</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.heartinhand.com/">Heart in Hand</a></div><div align="center">28ct.
