Since I tend to listen to books as I stitch I started a book blog with some friends and family. We are having a giveaway in our welcome post. Plus our book review of Broken Promises by Belinda Boring available as ebook and paperback who will be stopping back by for this Feature Friday. The book blog is adult since it's for romance of all sub genre's including my favorite paranornormal! Some of the books will end up being erotic but not all. So if it interests you please stop by. We are giving away a pair of knitted fingerless gloves and 2 bookmark thongs. Hope to see some of my stitching buddies there. =) I've been doing more knitting with the fall and winter which is why I haven't been posting here.<br />

Finished 4 pgs so far. No way I can finish it by the first of Sept. But I am still going to see how close I can get. The kids started K12. So far I've spoken to Brayden's (son,4th grade teacher) and as of yet I haven't gotten a call from Kalista's (daughter,2nd grade teacher). I really hope she doesn't try calling after 3 since I will be out with Hubby celebrating our 11th yr anniversary. Geez, 32 yrs old and married 11yrs. That's pretty awesome! I finished Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and starting the first book of Game of Thrones. Time to start getting rdy for my date. Geez a date! Wow! With the kids about we don't get many of those. <br /><br /></div>

Another pg done on the Steelers piece. I still don't know that I will be able to finish it in time but I am sure putting every spare moment I have in it. I just don't think it's going to be enough. But still going to try. I took this off my phone so the colors are not true. But it gives the basic idea. Its gorgeous! I will take the nxt update pic with the camera. And I'm not even a Steelers fan. Back to work I go.<br />
<br />
Comments welcome. I know they were turned off for a while. IDK why an over site on my part. <br />

I've been asked to do a Steelers project for my husbands SQ Captain for his going away since he got new orders and leaves in a little over a month. I don't know if I can get it finished in time but its like doing a Haed. So far I just finished pg 2 last night. Well more like at 1:20am! I got this one and 2 other teams from a NCAA online store. </div>

He wanted because his nickname is Boo. I finally finished it a few days ago. <br />
<br />
The little diet pieces I did out of a magazine. I thought they were just too cute and I need more magnets. Haha, they are not made into magnets yet but they are stitched! They didn't take long to stitch up and I used the fabric my 7yr daughter dyed for them. <br />
<br />
I've been working on my Greek Mandala yesterday and today. Making good progress. It's been a while since I worked on it and I'd like to get it finished before the yr is out so I can start the Serengeti Mandala. I'm waiting for fabric for Sleepy Hollow and for the Serengeti Mandala. Seems Silkweavers is taking a long time. A piece I guess was lost and they resent it but now waiting for this big order from them it's got me very stressed that it's not here yet. It's over $100 worth of fabric! I love the company and I'm sure it will get here soon. Or I'll talk to them about it. <br />
<br />
A lot going on here and still recovering from surgery. <br />

</tbody></table> Ok the pics with at Wichita Falls, TX after my sister in law's wedding. We stopped by the falls after the weekend of her wedding was over on way back home to OK. It was a lovely wedding. I"ll have to try to remember the pic of my girl dancing with her daddy when my girl is married! It was so cute! My girl and her cousin Gabbi were given a set of the brides maids flowers to see at the reception. They are so cute! And my boy making sure the girls weren't getting into trouble when they were off running around playing with the other girls just had to bring them to me to let me know they didn't take them they were given them to play with for a little bit. HAHA! He's such a great kid. <br />

</tbody></table> Nene is one of my favorite artist I have 5 pieces signed and her book. They frequent at one of my Dh's favorite local privately owned shops. But out of respect for the owner who isn't an art seller and of Nene and her Dh's privacy no I won't say where. When my DH was promoted almost 2 yrs ago he surprised me that instead of paying bills we were going out to pick out art from my favorite artist for the walls instead! I got to be doubly surprised when we <b>Accidentally</b> ran into Steven in the store when we stopped in a shop my Dh's goes to a lot! Steven is a wonderfully sweet man and asked which pieces I was looking for. After talking for awhile, he was very patient with me, I decided on 5 pieces. Steven dropped them off to me and surprise Nene had signed them! And for my Bday last yr DH, the shop owner, ( I won't name his name), Steven and Nene shocked me with a signed copy of their first book! I always have to squee about that bit of luck. I never ever get lucky like that! So for me its truly a special treat! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I dyed this piece for a wedding sampler/record. I will have to do another in purple for another person. Both when done will be wedding presents. 1 however is already late. But she'll love it all the same. Doing the one that is upcoming first. I love the way the color turned out!<br />

Finally they sent me home and my kids and hubby have been looking after me. Mostly I just sleep and wake to take pain pills and the other pills they gave me. <br><br>ATM I'm sitting up but its wearing me down so quickly. I just woke up and I am going to go back to bed with help of my hubby to get me to the bed. Will update when i can. Just too weak. <br><br>Bren<br> <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>Brenda Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11213466493517803519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131261100578807458.post-46389818768746041182012-03-08T08:48:00.001-08:002012-03-08T08:52:58.563-08:00Tarot Town Update<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>I do want to say that I tend to buy Potato colored fabric for my projects that are fully stitched. Potato is or should be more of a lt cream at most fabric stores but without the sheen most creams have so it dont show <i><u>as much</u></i> under the stitches when done. It makes the white thread stand out more while stitching and the dk threads not have that or as much of that bright white fabby sneaking through the threads. <br />

I'll have to make a wider one right now some of the extra fabric is in the way of the sides of the stitching area and I didn't want to move my frame so I started pg 2 instead. When I get the time I will make a new huggie that will hold more of the fab.

I wish they were more obvious as with some other HAEDs but most HAEDs it seems when you can stand back and look when more is done they become more obvious.

But a friend who won't get blogger but checks my blog *you know who you are silly goose, I know you will look for this tonight* pointed out I never shared a pic. Most of the colors on my wall are all water like hues from greens to blues. When I saw the yarn out shopping with my sister it reminded me of the colors of the ocean we saw from Bar Harbor, Maine to Salem, Mass. and it's soo soft and cuddly!! I laid it out on our king size bed to take a pic. I didn't mean to make it so big haha! But I love it! I started a simple shawl to go with it for when I'm cold and stitching or at the comp but I haven't worked on it since Jan.

The kids are creating their own Animal Studies research book for school. But all the pre-made teacher worksheets for elementary really suck. Some have some info you expect to see, others barely any, and even more have things who cares anything about. And most of them are 4 or more pages. I really disliked them. So today not that we finally have the Microsoft Office, Cecil put it on my comp last night, I printed all teacher Animal Report/Study worksheets and wrote down what I like about them and created my own. I'm pretty proud of them. Its 1 page front and back and all the information a kid needs. The back includes books read, webpages explored, fieldtrips, pictures. You know the fun stuff. :) And now they each have their Books(folders) to keep their information of their studies in. This way they can build on it throughout the school year and many yrs to come.<br />
<br />
I know when I was going to school I would have liked to have had my research projects and papers saved. Lmao some of the ones I did in High School I saved and I got to use them for College! Ok so they needed a little revising but it saved a lot of time. I still have a few even though I am out of College because you do so much work and its nice to be able to go back and look at what you've learned and done. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm Proud of them but if someone thinks of some thing I missed just speak up. :) After all there is always room for improvements. </div>Brenda Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11213466493517803519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131261100578807458.post-88829668890621810282012-01-02T18:27:00.001-08:002012-01-02T18:27:40.795-08:00And here is the back<span xmlns=''><p><span style='font-size:14pt'> Animal Study<br /></span></p><p>Books Read<br /><table border='0' style='border-collapse:collapse'><colgroup><col style='width:399px'/><col style='width:399px'/></colgroup><tbody valign='top'><tr><td style='padding-left: 9px;

I have been knitting lately. Well my sister let me barrow a knitting loom set she had bought to figure out how to use it to show her and because she knew I have been wanting to try them. So I have a few other things I did. I did 3 scarves and a pair of leg warmers for my daughter to wear to her dance class. And atm I am working on figuring out how to make letters in a scarf for my son that reads OU in the teams colors. my daughter who just turned 7 wanted to model the scarves. I'm being to lazy to go take a pic of the leg warmers I made her atm. The top pic is of her funny face! The 3 hotpads I made in a coffee/chocolate color. The pic comes no where near in doing the color justice. <br><br>This I forget the name but it was in the 2011 Halloween mag. I did the fabric myself. I only wish I could make several the same way because its AWESOME! I can't believe I did it and am proud of it. <br><br><br>I am also almost finished with my kitty I am stitching as well. She'll go with the reindeer with the gingerbread man on its back as a card holder when I get a few others done for it. </span><span class="insertedphoto"></span><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/937"><img class="alignright" src="//multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/gSVzF0KreJflnZfc7C6R2Q/photos/1M/300x300/937/kitty.jpg?et=5EOfMjxBzVN1mxBlQkcHpQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a></span> <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>Brenda Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11213466493517803519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131261100578807458.post-80985939441643641452011-11-08T11:42:00.000-08:002011-11-08T11:42:08.954-08:00the ones that got ruined.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJawGsEbkhCqFwj4m-i6rwxy-Ox9s6DLABaL57cvgLGjiArwYVe3avfHb-t3wzjWSVbUK95hFfs7jIahLYfbJ3JCWg6tNvf2PIvtYbrIHjclGCEHLEYi_sFA8DM6HbgN40BbNFBKCl134/s1600/I+am+a+thousand+winds.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">These are the ones that got dmg'd from the biggest earthquake we've ever had in OK.In a startle when it hit DH's glass of wine got spilt on them while I was in the process of switching between them. I didnt have a whole lot done on either of them (maybe a 1/4th on each) and I was going to try to use the parts that weren't stitched on or dmg'd for some small pats. He took them to the dry cleaners we use for his uniforms and my big jacket but no luck. Then he accidentally forgot them on his desk at work last night and the guy that works the late shift threw them out. I get it in his defense they were stained. I'll rebuy the fab for the 1,000 winds after xmas and the other after my SIL's wedding and my sons 9th bday late Feb. I can't afford to do it until then. </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJawGsEbkhCqFwj4m-i6rwxy-Ox9s6DLABaL57cvgLGjiArwYVe3avfHb-t3wzjWSVbUK95hFfs7jIahLYfbJ3JCWg6tNvf2PIvtYbrIHjclGCEHLEYi_sFA8DM6HbgN40BbNFBKCl134/s320/I+am+a+thousand+winds.jpg" width="238" /></div><br />

They were the ones I wanted to make the most progress. Hopefully, by the end of the night I will have another Finish but it also is not on my list. Now I have some that are older WIPS the I am a thousand winds is one of them that will have to be restarted. The Mandala I forget the name that is in the new JCS Halloween book/mag will also have to be restarted. Silly earthquakes. I think when I am done with the one I am almost done with I will start on the <span style="background-color: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 23px; margin-top: 10px;">Winter Silhouette and work on the Stars and Stripes and try to get that finished up b4 xmas. I also need to work on my xmas card holder and get that put together. The reindeer I have stitched up will be its top and I wanted to stitch a few smaller designs to put on the alligator clips themselves. I have to find the clips I bought when I finished the piece. I was waiting for the xmas ribbons to be put back on the shelves. </span><br />

And I need to finish hand sewing my sons Dino quilt hopefully b4 the yr is out as well. I need more hrs in a day. </span><br />

Then thunder storms and even tornados this evening. Top end the night another quake. So we've had a 4.7, 5.6, & another 4.7. USGS says to expect quakes from anywhere to a few wks to a few months. A quake when the ice storm hits the house will buckle. It's almost buckled once from the weight of ice. Caused several cracks everywhere. Ice n a quake combined we'll be out of a home. Yup I wanna grab a blanket n hide in my bed. It's been that kind of wkend. But no was watching Terra Nova with the kids and DH and now the kids r in bed and watching Castle and stitching on a diff Halloween piece I had in the works. I still have a few from the new Halloween mag I want to do.<br />

Yay now hail. Going back to stitching.

So I've been talking to the few ladies that I know specialize in custom framing. All 4 work at different places specialized in framing cross stitch pieces.<br><br>Framing all my stitched pieces is so expensive I have so many done and just sitting here waiting to be framed. With my own mat cutter I can by frames for most of them. But the professional mat cutters are so out of my price range. Talking thousands. <br><br>Out of all the models they separately recommended to me I quickly noticed the same 3 models on my list recommended by all 4 ladies. I've met them mostly through cross stitch shops or groups. <br><br>The <br><h1 id="product-name"><a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=matte+cutters+for+sale&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=K4T&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvnsfd&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1523&bih=870&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=12033686480665588874&sa=X&ei=hZqpTsSsHKifsQLmvdHJDw&ved=0CLMBEPMCMAA"><span class="main-title" itemprop="name">Logan 450-1 Artist Elite 40" <b>Mat Cutter <br></b></span></a></h1><br>Which works for most of my projects. <br><br>The<br><h1 id="product-name"><a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=matte+cutters+for+sale&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvnsfd&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1523&bih=870&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=14194139426339663322&sa=X&ei=Q6GpToGtG_T2sQLFjbnoDw&ved=0CMIBEPMCMAk4Hg"><span class="main-title" itemprop="name">Logan 201 Oval & Circle <b>Cutter</b> - Trimmer</span></a></h1><br>For obvious reasons. I have so many small pieces that are wonderful but the standard size oval pre cut mats in the stores are always just to small or to big. -,- <br><br>And then for my BAPS(big ass projects for my non stitchy friends and fam) this one was recommended. <br><br><h1 id="product-name"><a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=matte+cutters+for+sale&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvnsfd&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1523&bih=870&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=12456817038089052110&sa=X&ei=wJ-pTpSSC4XHsQLh9p2zDw&ved=0CMMBEPMCMAU4Cg"><span class="main-title" itemprop="name">Logan 760-1 Simplex Elite <b>Mat Cutter</b> 60"</span></a></h1><br><br>Now while these are not the best money can buy I've been told by all 4 ladies that they will do what I want. Which is a professional look without the cost to get my pieces matted and on the wall or given as gifts.. <br><br>I'll save my personal spending money from now until after Xmas the best I can. Which should end up being enough for the 450 if I don't end up needing it for the kids. The last few months I've been spending it all on the kids. I got to stop doing that and start using it for what it was meant to be for. And If I don't get one for Xmas. <span style="font-weight: bold;">My love I hope your paying attention.... </span>then I guess I will just have to buy the first 2 for myself. Now IF I get for Xmas then I can use my money to start framing my finished pieces. <br><br>I realize that some of my stitching friends might have other recommendations or comments on personal mat cutters. Feel free to leave them because I <span style="font-weight: bold;">WILL</span> wait until just after Xmas. <br><br><br><br><!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>Brenda Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11213466493517803519noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131261100578807458.post-51317490445594123532011-10-27T05:31:00.000-07:002011-10-27T09:45:42.352-07:00Yay a finish and a pic of Tarot Town <span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/841"><img class="alignleft" src="//multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/I2AMCAdqhuS2iPsNB++JWQ/photos/1M/300x300/841/to-sort-014.JPG?et=M9s4PtwRM%2BY7sOM8ebW7Og&nmid=0" border="0"></a></span><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="/photos/hi-res/59/1"><img class="alignright" src="http://multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/4/photos/59/300x300/1/Tarot-Town.jpg?et=vJ84sNa0d0em3ngkOPl5fQ&nmid=399674102" border="0"></a><br>You can kinda see the cloud in the corner forming<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></span><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/838"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="//multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/dGGEraXhGZeCqkfWiLMJeQ/photos/1M/300x300/838/to-sort-009.JPG?et=fYOvktKGjeAdmwnAJcPkoQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a>Be Thankful </span>by Diane Arthurs is finally finished. Ok so I stitched the whole thing only while playing Modern Warfare 2 on the ps3 with DH. I'd stitch during the mini intermissions which are normally less then a minute long and the matches last like 10-15 mins depending on which you play. I actually got alot of stitching done that way. I only started it like a month and a half ago. <br><br>Close up of the little bee's and the basket. I can't wait to get framed and hung in my kitchen. But it will have to wait until we have the $ or I can buy a mat cutter. Shops cost so much for what I can do for myself but I have no way to cut the mats. The rest is actually easy. <br><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/839"><span class="insertedphoto"></span></a></span><br><span class="insertedphoto"><br></span><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/839"><span class="insertedphoto"></span></a></span><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/840"><img style="width: 259px;height: 225px;" class="alignleft" src="//multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/LBrerSMxZCEivvV927BHMg/photos/1M/300x300/840/to-sort-012.JPG?et=soEzAHLE9rKIlcfkPN8T3g&nmid=0" border="0"></a></span><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/839"><img style="width: 271px;height: 225px;" class="alignright" src="//multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/D5g2uuVH9JC04+RPKMOq2w/photos/1M/300x300/839/to-sort-010.JPG?et=p7BS0ZGL3fE0sC6lB2FSaQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a></span> <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>Brenda Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11213466493517803519noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131261100578807458.post-72495380871805756362011-10-14T08:52:00.000-07:002011-10-14T13:28:04.927-07:00Haed or Nene Thomas lovers. <span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/828"><img class="alignleft" src="//multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/1E7Z0ZCTXHHw0jy7zowU5Q/photos/1M/300x300/828/Bday-gift-001.JPG?et=felwlc3BCa8t6xK6UwIn5Q&nmid=0" border="0"></a>If you didn't know Steven wrote a book that goes along with his wife's artwork. If you like to read fantasy and are a fan of Nene's art you should enjoy the book. Yes Nene helped with the book as well. I have the luck of running into Steven last yr at my husbands comic book shop. The owner is friends with them as far as when they were in school. I was reading it online and the owner of the store had a print out of it and was going to give it to. The book was on the way to the printers so I said I'd be patient and wait. Last month was my B-day. And I just got my copy of their book from Hubby. We went and picked it up today. However, look inside. They secretly worked together the 4 slick bunch of them. Hubby, the shop owner ( i know his name but I'm not sure if he'd appreciate me posting it to get lots of ppl to come into his store looking for his friends), Steven, & Nene to get me a SIGNED by BOTH of them copy of the book as my Bday gift! Well I just got it today because Steven and Nene have been out of town between the Ren Fair, Comic Con, and the other places they visit. We currently live in there home town so I got lucky meeting Steven by accident. I went into the store to pick up some of her art. I ended up getting 4 big matted prints and a md matted print and a calendar. Steven and Hubby were talking while I was busy with the kids in the store and when we went to pick em up all were signed to me by Nene!!!! I mentioned the Haed site to them and how cool it would be if they would allow her work to be done as a HAED last June and I don't know the details of their contract with them but I'm SOO Glad they did! Since my favorite pieces of her's I have matted and signed I havn't bought any of the HAED's yet. I have so many already to finish. But isn't wonderful! All because last June my Hubby got promoted and I got to spend his promotion money on artwork of my choice I accidentally ran into Steve I now have signed are and the signed book to go with it! Yup I'm bragging but I bet if you ACCIDENTALLY ran into one of your favorite artist's you would to. Below are pictures of the signed book. To think just yesterday I had said to Hubby that it would be nice to feel special and appreciated for all I do around here once in a blue moon. And today I feel just that! <br><br></span><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/829"><img class="alignleft" src="//multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/fu47iyqvfOlCL1K9Blg1mA/photos/1M/300x300/829/Bday-gift-005.JPG?et=51R7691SjYBb5O1GxZKhBw&nmid=0" border="0"></a></span><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/830"><img class="alignleft" src="//multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/VV93E4Ma5dwIjf0AO2ZcUA/photos/1M/300x300/830/Bday-gift-006.JPG?et=Byk3PVYiB4w4LIToA4ao4g&nmid=0" border="0"></a><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></span><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/831"><img style="width: 225px;height: 247px;" class="alignleft" src="//multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/bVnmnGlchBJS4-ygtABx2g/photos/1M/300x300/831/Bday-gift-009.JPG?et=YM6RRNzWX36gCBVWi4sReQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></span><span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://sillysunshineangel.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/1M/832"><img class="alignleft" src="//multiply.com/mu/sillysunshineangel/image/iDa3Oq3qiSsBYAjiT6CRxg/photos/1M/300x300/832/Bday-gift-010.JPG?et=CLvZhR2zo8jD%2B%2Csz0VnZ7w&nmid=0" border="0"></a></span><br><span class="insertedphoto"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></span> <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>Brenda Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11213466493517803519noreply@blogger.com2
