Bye, Bye Alaska

Well, it's time to go. The project I was working on got put on hold so we all got laid off, bummer.
Back to Louisiana I go and collect unemployment. I've never had to collect unemployment, this will be new. I'm depressed and SAD, I really like the work I was doing up here. Hopefully something will come up soon and I can get back to work.
I haven't been stitching to much lately cause I have been really busy at work. But now I will have plenty of time to stitch. Look for pictures in the near future. I started Athena back in September of last year so now I can get back to her and a lots more UFO's.
I will keep in touch.

She Tends her Garden

I know it's winter, but somewhere across the world there is someone doing Her Garden.

Shephard Bush-She Tends. The pictures are not to great but here they are. I hope to send them off to Jill Rensel for framing. Enjoy!

Finally I have pictures!

I finally got pictures of my Lizzie Kate's Christmas Flips, M Design Cajun Tree, Nora Corbett's

Letter A and Dancer, Donner, Blizten & Dasher.

TOTF

Here she is finally finished. The fabric is 32 ct. SMF Opal. Bewitched. The camera doesn't do her justice she is beautiful. It took a while for me to finish with the move and getting adjusted to the time change.

It Snow!

Well, it snow about 3" yesterday and last night. I woke up to plenty of snow.
It's so pretty, like winter wonderland. All the evergreen trees with snow on them.
You just want to put Christmas lights on everyone and presents under them.
I'm already in the Christmas mood and Thanksgiving hasn't come yet.

On the stitching front.....I'm really trying to finish TOTF, put the beads on her. I just can't stay up pass 7:00 pm. I'm still trying to get used to the time it is frustrating. Pictures will come
soon.

I'm in Alaska

Hey everyone, I have been in Alaska now for three weeks. It is totally different then Louisiana, but I am enjoying it. I came up here to work. I'm in the Engineering field and I had an opportunity to make some more money, and also to grow in my field. I think it will turn out to be a very good experience. The time change is still got me messed up. Alaska is 3 hours behind Louisiana and they also change their clocks like Louisiana does. So....the dog and I are going to bed at like 7:00 pm. Here are a couple of pictures that I took, one is in the airplane coming over and the other is just a snap shot I took of the mountains.

I have been stitching on my TOTF and I hope to be finished this weekend. I have made a trip to the LNS and met the owner, she is very nice. They have so Alaskan charts that I will probably get. They also have a stitching night tonight I might go if I can stay up to get there.

Bye for now.

Athena has arrived

I got Athena last night at my LNS. She is kitted up and I'm ready to stitch. I started her last night got her on my scroll bars and started at the center. I'm so excited about this piece, she is so beautiful. I will get progress picture in the near future.
