Is There Life Out There?

I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to start keeping up with this blog again.  I have not been stitching much and I'm wanting to do more again, and thought maybe I could get motivated with the blog.  If I am still on your list and you are still interested in following this, please give me some feedback....

Thanks!

I hate the new blogger!

I am still trying to get organized enough to start posting again, and when I was fooling around with it today I realized that there was some new setting that required people to type in those stupid letters in the box to be able to post.  I hope I have turned it off.  Hopefully someone can give kme feedback?

Testing...testing...1 2 3

I finally have a home computer again!  I want to start blogging again since I am also wanting to start stitching again...but I'm wondering if anyone is still out there....

I'm Still Alive!

I have been without a computer since the middle of January and only have limited time at the library on the public computers. So I am still alive but without technology! I am sorry to say that I am not stitching much right now either...have some home projects that have taken priority. But as soon as I can, I hope to start blogging again!

I'm On The Edge

Well, not exactly on the edge, but too close to it.

I ended up starting my project that I had decided not to start after all on New Year's Night. Last night, I had time to sit and stitch on it for 3 hours. And at the end of that time, I realized that the left hand side is only about an inch and a half away from the edge of the fabric. I always leave 3 inches all the way around, so I'm not sure how this happened. I got frustrated and went to bed.

After thinking about it and looking at it a few times today, I think I'm going to start it over on a darker fabric this time. I could spend time pulling the stitches out and saving the entire piece of fabric that it's on now, but since it is on 28 ct and I use a #24 needle, it may not look very good if I do that. I'm just going to cut off the messed up part and use the rest of the fabric for something else. But it's getting late to be starting anything new tonight, so I will wait until tomorrow to tackle it.

The piece is called Raise A Glass Of Cheer by Blackbird Designs. I love it! I hope that 2010 will be a better year for me than the last 3-4 have been, so I'm doing this one in anticipation of that...
