In the first 5 months I completed 27 projects. For the last 7 months I completed 38 projects. Now, some of the projects were on the same fabric. Since I paid for each pattern separately, I counted them as separate projects. I will sort them by the month completed.<br />
<br />
May completes since May 28th<br />

So, this year I completed 65 cross stitch projects, 2 crocheted afghans, 1 macrame planter holder, 1 diamond dot pattern, 6 sewing projects, and 1 jelly roll rug. It was a very productive year. I hope 2020 will be as productive.<br />

So without further ado, my parade of finishes for the year of 2019. First I will start with Little Sheep Virtues by Little House Needleworks. I'm stitching it like Yellow Farmhouse. So far I have completed 6 of the 12 patterns. I'm using DMC floss on Chocolate Brown Linen.</div>

Next, the Main Street Series by Country Cottage Needlework. I am working them around a town square on hand-dyed aida by me using DMC floss. I stitched the bookstore and the dress shop. Also, <br />
I did make a change; I created a church for the town square. <br />

I started the month of February with 2 retreats in a row. Last week I went to a crochet and knitting retreat (ok most ladies at the retreat would call it a knitting and crocheting retreat). The name of the retreat was "Fiber Fun in the 'Sip Retreat" at Tara Wildlife in Vicksburg, MS. I went with my sister-in-law Katie. We had a great time. The retreat covered everything, lodging, food (which was awesome), and 1 class. I went with one goal, to start and finish an afghan. I did it. I finished a corner to corner afghan using Caron's Chunky Cakes yarn, Ballet Sorbet. Katie and I both participated in the dinner entertainment on Saturday. We had a murder mystery. Both Katie and I were "murdered". It was a lot of fun. I am planning on going again next year.<br />

I also took a crochet class that was being taught by Dawn from Dawn O Designs. The class was crocheting a shawl. Below is my progress, I am about halfway through the pattern. It was a lot of fun.<br />

We were supposed to go on an airbus ride around the area but the water level was too high. So to fill the time we had a knitting competition to see who knitted the fasted. I didn't participate because I am a very slow knitter. We also had a crocheting competition. I did participate. I won!! I beat Katie by 1 stitch. Whoo hoo!<br />

Tonight, after I leave class, I'm picking my sister Bridget up and we are head to Orange Beach, AL for a cross stitch retreat with Katrina Boyd. My sister Jennifer and our friend Lisha are already there. I can't wait. I'm bringing all twenty-something of my WiPs with me. I will work on all of them this weekend. I will post pictures when I get back. But you can look at my posts throughout the weekend on Instagram. 28 minutes before class is over. I can't wait. Well got to go, I need to review a test with a student.<br />
<br />

<br />
First up, my sister Jennifer, friend Lisha, and I went to <a href="http://www.cross-stitchretreats.com/category_8/2018-Retreats.htm" target="_blank">Katrina Boyd's retreat</a> in Franklin, TN. I meet some wonderful ladies, 1 from Mississippi, the 5 local ladies and the 5 from Memphis. We actually had a local artist stitching with us, <a href="https://gumroad.com/wildviolet" target="_blank">Ryanne </a>(sorry if I miss-spelled it). She was very helpful with my tablet. I love her highland cow cross stitch pattern. I also liked her new pattern she was working on. shhh... check out her site to see when she releases her new pattern. Jennifer and I did our usual, stitch for an hour then switch. I stitched on 9 things each day. No finishes though. I can't wait until August when we go to Georgia; I've never been.<br />
<br />
Second, after we came home, my family celebrated the 4th at my Mom's house. We didn't do the big fireworks show that Uncle Tim usually does because Tucker (his son) was at camp. But we ate the usual, hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage, potato salad, baked beans, and salad. My sister-in-law, Mari, made a spring roll desert filled with strawberries and blueberries with a cream sauce. Yummy!<br />
<br />
Third, my mom's side of the family usually gets together the first Sunday in July. Well the last few years we either haven't had it or some people will not come because "its too far to drive". So my cousin Liz and I decided to host it here in town. We had about 100 people show up. Most everyone brought food or drinks. Everyone seemed to have a great time and enjoyed the food and fellowship. It seems Liz and I are expected to host it next year.<br />
<br />

<b>Now why you really came, my stitching. </b></h3>

This month I decided to stitch on one WIP each day. I have about 30 WIPs left. I have pretty much stuck to the schedule. If I missed a day then I stitched on the missed project and the project due that day. I finished Little House Needlework's Blessed are the Meek using DMC floss on Wandering Ivy by Silkweaver. It turned out really cute.<br />

My sisters (Jennifer & Bridget) and our friend Lisha are stitching on this project as a stitch-a-long. I'm the 3rd one to finish it. I used the DMC floss on 32-ct Vintage Stormy Nights Lugana fabric. We all used the same fabric.<br />
<br />
I've made some progress on each project so far. I hope to knock out most of these WIPs by the end of the year.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, got to go. I plan to post again next week. I will let you know when I start my FlossTube vlog.<br />

<br /></div>
I started the year out with 18 WIPs. I have added 18 new WIPs with Stitch "May"nia. I started Amy Bruecken's Snowman Man of the Month, am doing a Stitch-a-long with my sisters and friends (Oh Say Can You Sea), started 2 large monthly projects (Country Cottage Needlework's Main Street Series and Little House Needlwork's Virtues), started and completed 4 new projects (Mill Hill's Owlets). My finishing list is 23 projects thus far. I plan on finishing several large projects by the end of the year. I want to complete any project that is over a year in the WIPs box. That would be 12 project: Blackwork roses, Blessed are the Meek, Summer Retreat, Curious Owl, 6 Fat Men, Robin Hood, Tuffet's Cupboard, Wicked Patch, Witchy Wash, Vlad's Vash Day, Santa Clothes, & Hang Ten.<br />
<br />
The pictures to follow are a Parade of my finished works. If I bought the patterns separately, then I count each pattern as a finish. I apologize for the pictures not rotating. They are right when I click on them in the file but they import sideways or upside down.<br />

If you made it this far, I am very excited. My sister, Jennifer (of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JensStitchingNiche" target="_blank">Jen's Stitching Niche</a> on Etsy), and our friend Lisha are going to one of <a href="http://www.cross-stitchretreats.com/category_8/2018-Retreats.htm" target="_blank">Katrina Boyd's Stitching Retreats</a> this weekend in Franklin, TN. I am excited because as I am typing this, I just finished giving my final to my June class and have submitted their grades. I am free from campus bound, time set classes for the summer (only teaching 1 online class). We are leaving tomorrow and taking our time going to Franklin. We will stop along the way to shop at different needlework shops that Lisha and Jennifer want to visit. I love going to Katrina's Retreats; everyone is easy going and I get a lot of work done.<br />
<br />
So, thanks for stopping by. I'm off to pack my things and get ready for the trip (gas, tire check, snacks, stitching projects, oh yeah and clothes).<br />

So here it is.<br />
<br />
So this year was supposed to be the year of finishes. But, my sisters talked me into Stitch Maynia (a new start each day for 18 days in May). I did 18 new projects. I completed two of the new projects that I have started. Here are the projects. <br />

</tbody></table>
This weekend, my sisters (Jennifer and Bridget) and our friend Lisha went to Orange Beach, AL for <a href="http://www.cross-stitchretreats.com/" target="_blank">stitching retreat</a>. We had a great time. We saw dolphins, a wedding on the beach, and the wave roll in. I brought all of my WiPs with me (21 of them). I worked on each one for 1 hour. I shopped at Katrina's store (in the retreat), ate good food, and had a wonderful time meeting new people.<br />
<br />
My sisters had several completions on this trip but I only had 1. I completed Love Laundry by Raise the Roof. I only had the man's shirt and the pole for the line left when I went to the retreat. I wanted to finish it for Valentine's Day but I missed the deadline. But, I did finish it the week of Valentine's Day; so I'm happy.<br />
<br />
My goal this year is to knock out all of my WiPs. That won't be easy because I have The Lady of the Flag - Mirabilia, Tigerlily - Nora Corbert, and Simply Sunflower - Paula Vaughn. All of which have multiple color change and are large projects. <br />
<br />
My march new start will be Little House Needlework's Little Sheep Virtues. I want to stitch it like <a href="http://crossthatleg.blogspot.com/2014/01/oh-my-word-do-i-feel-gross-and.html" target="_blank">Julie M</a> stitched it. I think it is really cute. I have all but one of the patterns. I want to find a dark-ish brown fabric to stitch it on. I think it will look good. I will post a picture once I start it.<br />
<br />
Well thanks for stopping by. I will post more soon.<br />
<br />

I finished him in one day. Yes, I sat on my behind all day and watched <i>Person of Interest</i>, season 2. I really like these little kits. I have one more to complete which is Emma. She is really cute.<br />
<br />
I also worked on Raise the Roof's "Love Laundry". As I was stitching it I put one x as 2 over 3 instead of 2 over 2. Which made the pattern off. You can't really tell that it is off. but I noticed it when I started stitching the laundry basket. It is one thread up from the shoes but everything else lines up. I'm not looking for the mistake. As Theresa says "Work it in". So I am.<br />
<br />
This weekend is a long weekend for me. I am going to prepare for my stitching retreat next weekend. I am going to the stitching retreat in Orange Beach, AL with my sisters and friend. (We went last year). I'm taking all of my WIPs (only 18 of them). Also, I going to get the February Man-of-the-month by Amy Bruecken.<br />
<br />
My sisters and I have been going to stitching retreats for several years now. We play this game of changing our project every hour. It keeps it interesting; keeps you from getting bored or frustrated. One year we identified 6 different projects that we were going to work on, then each hour we would randomly pick a number that would identify the project of the hour. It was fun. Some weekends I do this at my home so that I can make progress on several projects.<br />

Whoo hoo. I have 2 finishes for January. Well technically only 1 complete finish. I finished my new start for January, Mill Hill Bead's Owlet - Violet. I really like stitching on these. I have completed 4 of the 6. I will start on Huey next. I am saving Emma for last (she is so cute).<br />

I completed the words in the middle and the January snowman. I am stitching it as the pattern calls for the fabric and threads. It is fun to work on and quick to stitch.<br />

I have made progress on Raise the Roof's Loves Laundry. I have completed the "little black dress" and the black heels. I don't think I have it completed by Valentine's Day but I am trying.<br />

I now have to pick a new start for February. Maybe something love <br />

I plan things. I may not execute them but I do plan them. My goal this year is to wipe out all of my WIPs (there are only 20 cross-stitch ones). At the same time I plan on starting a new pattern each month. So far I am achieving my goal. As in my previous post, I finished 1 of the 20 WIPs and started a new project. <br />
<br />
Well, I was thinking this weekend about how I was going to accomplish this. I have one project that is designed to complete a portion of it each month (Frosted Pumpkins - Happily Ever After). As you can see below, I have completed 1-1/2 of the 12 parts to the pattern. <br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bsmlo949Nvg/Wkv2fzAyaEI/AAAAAAAAEEA/OX8ZNnnNZFU3kRDg5Ar8QbQ_CFgPwpfKgCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/IMG_1870.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bsmlo949Nvg/Wkv2fzAyaEI/AAAAAAAAEEA/OX8ZNnnNZFU3kRDg5Ar8QbQ_CFgPwpfKgCPcBGAYYCw/s320/IMG_1870.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Frosted Pumpkins - Happily Ever After part 4</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Then I was thinking how am I going to break up my kits. So I decided to work on one of the large projects for the month (i.e. Tigerlily, Our Lady of the Flag, etc.) while trying to knock out the smaller ones (i.e. stained glass window bookmark, Frank 'n Boo, etc.)<br />
<br />
Then I got a wild hair and signed up for a Stitch-A-Long of <a href="http://amybruecken.com/tag/a-man-a-month/" target="_blank">Amy Bruecken's Man of the Month</a>. I love Amy Bruecken's work and snowmen. So I get the both in one project. Of course, I started to do the project; got the pattern, got the fabric, went to get the threads....I don't have any of the colors. So off to <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/JensStitchingNiche" target="_blank">my sisters etsy store</a> for the thread. Maybe I will get to start it this weekend.<br />
<br />
I haven't completed any of my projects this week but I am getting closer on a couple of them. I will post pictures as soon as I complete them. <br />
<br />
Well I have to go and teach class. Have a wonderful day and keep stitching.<br />

But, at the same time, my goal is to complete as many WIPs as possible. So this week, I finished one and started my new project for January.<br />
<br />
I finished the "Be Spooktacular" for Lizzie Kate's Halloween Rules. My sisters, Jennifer and Bridget, and I did this as a round robin. Jennifer finished her project before Halloween (of course). Bridget actually finished her project before me in November. But I finished the project this week. I actually wanted to finish it before the new year. But, then I thought, it will be a quick finish. Better to use it as a finish in the new year since many of my projects are going to take some time. Here is a picture of the pattern that I completed along with the complete project. I stitched it on _____ count fabric with DMC colors.<br />
<br />
My January start is the Owlet: Violet by Mill Hill Beads. I have stitched 3 of these (Finn, Kiwi, & Tango) and still have Emma & Huey to complete. They are relatively quick to finish. I don't know what I will do with them yet but I have them grouped together so I can decide.<br />
<br />
I will begin working on Raise the Roof's Love's Laundry to try and finish it before Valentine's Day. I have all of the clothesline patterns. I have completed Peter's Cotton Knit's <br />
<br />

I know every year I start over with blogging but then peter out around
the summer. My goal this year is to make it to the end of the year. So
here we go. My sister Jennifer talked me into completing 18 WIPs in
2018. Below are the WIPs that I have for this year. I have labelled each one with the Designer and name of the project. Enjoy and thanks for coming by.<br />

<br />
Here are pictures of all the projects that I have open at the moment. I will sort them into groups: Stitch Maynia, Monthly New Starts, and WIPS. This post will just be pictures showing the progress I have made.<br />
<br />
I have 8 project bags (made from Vonna's pattern). This month I am going to work on the projects in one bag each day. Most bags have 3 or 4 projects. I hope to finish many of the projects this month especially since most are small.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>New Starts:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
This week I had 4 new starts. They were Letters n' Leaves by La Di Da, Blackwork Roses by Carol Algie Higginbotham, Lucky Cats by Whiskerkins, and Stained Glass Window bookmark that I bought in Scotland.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7xbAwChWVuo/WRoFFOdlwWI/AAAAAAAAD1o/vs1ElJryYmwhUcfziFoj6rgnfSI7zTr6gCLcB/s1600/20170513_211223.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7xbAwChWVuo/WRoFFOdlwWI/AAAAAAAAD1o/vs1ElJryYmwhUcfziFoj6rgnfSI7zTr6gCLcB/s320/20170513_211223.jpg" width="180" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X1DePWk9LkM/WRoGQa9MTCI/AAAAAAAAD14/kgsDUJ40dnkWJMSIwzpxKxdpRLa2o2LBgCLcB/s1600/20170515_143946.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X1DePWk9LkM/WRoGQa9MTCI/AAAAAAAAD14/kgsDUJ40dnkWJMSIwzpxKxdpRLa2o2LBgCLcB/s320/20170515_143946.jpg" width="180" /></a>The first is Letters n' Leaves by La Di Da. It has only 2 colors. It has double border of black squares. My sister Jennifer has already completed this one. I spent an hour on it and completed 1-1/2 sides. It will be pretty simple.<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WCzEHHzbb94/WRoE87Up2PI/AAAAAAAAD1k/3xL1K_uMu_ki4lnU5Jt5uKBRbW31vJzjwCLcB/s1600/20170513_194033.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WCzEHHzbb94/WRoE87Up2PI/AAAAAAAAD1k/3xL1K_uMu_ki4lnU5Jt5uKBRbW31vJzjwCLcB/s320/20170513_194033.jpg" width="180" /></a><br />
The second was Lucky Cats by Whiskerkins. I decided to stitch it on Aida. I have been a linen snob for about 10 years now but with my eyes...So, I had this Aida and thought it would look good on it. I ran out of the border color for the cats and have to get some more.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--yzr9L-ZYII/WRoG8q_qDSI/AAAAAAAAD2I/B34ft03TGTghBZ3IkLTPki_w8WKQ2AU_ACLcB/s1600/20170515_144134.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/--yzr9L-ZYII/WRoG8q_qDSI/AAAAAAAAD2I/B34ft03TGTghBZ3IkLTPki_w8WKQ2AU_ACLcB/s320/20170515_144134.jpg" width="180" /></a>The third new start was the stained glass window bookmark. As you can see, I only spent an hour on it. It is relatively complicated for such a small thing. <br />
<br />
The last is something I've been wanting to work on for a while, Roses by Carol Algie Higginbotham.I love blackwork. This pattern has several different patterns on one project. The last couple of years, I have gotten involved with Zentangles. This Roses pattern reminds me of Zentangles. It is beautiful. I hope that I can complete it as beautifully as the pattern is.<br />

I have completed more of the cross stitching. Once I finish the cross stitching, I will then add the beads. The stitching is over halfway completed. I hope to complete it by the end of the week.<br />
<br />
The second update is Tuffet's Cupboard. There are 4 patterns, I have completed 1 and am in the middle of the 2nd pattern. I finished the green mirror looking thing in the red box and the spools of thread in the yellow box.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Finally, I have completed the red block for the Bent Creek's World of Color. I am starting the "orange" block. As I stated before, I am doing the border as I work each block.<br />

I made Vonna's Project Pouches for my stitching group last year for our stitching retreat. My sister-in-law and mother wanted one also. My sister-in-law bought her fabric. I finished two for her, two for my mother, and two for me. They are relatively easy but I have trouble with making a straight even spaced edge.</div>

The last finish that I have is the "Road to A Friend's House" by Sisters and Best Friends. I didn't want to put the white squares in the border. But, my sister Jen said I should. She was right. It turned out great. As I was trying to photograph it for my blog, Pearl decided that she wanted to be involved. It took 5 attempts to get a picture of the pattern. I don't know how I am going to finish it. We will see.</div>

And, yes, I have enough projects to start a new one each day for about a year or two. But, I wanted to do it differently. So I started a project on the 1st of May, then even days throughout the month of May, and finally on the 31st. This will be 17 new starts.<br />
<br />
My first new start was Owlet - Tango from Mill Hill Beads. What you see in the picture I stitched in a couple of hours. The stitching is pretty quick but I haven't started putting on the beads.<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s9B8dhxcXoA/WQ-RfgFKZuI/AAAAAAAAD1E/IIW_E5o365QNRqcgxewSox8tP6QBh6fYQCLcB/s1600/20170503_222604.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s9B8dhxcXoA/WQ-RfgFKZuI/AAAAAAAAD1E/IIW_E5o365QNRqcgxewSox8tP6QBh6fYQCLcB/s320/20170503_222604.jpg" width="180" /></a><br />
<br />
My second start was the Autumn Biscornu by Barbara Ana. I love the little squirrels. I love Barbara Ana's biscornus; I have stitched several.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mP0guQCgwfY/WQ-RMtH7kKI/AAAAAAAAD08/PYZF8XV-210eslHsIjWl9WOajHfykF8qQCLcB/s1600/20170507_162223.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mP0guQCgwfY/WQ-RMtH7kKI/AAAAAAAAD08/PYZF8XV-210eslHsIjWl9WOajHfykF8qQCLcB/s320/20170507_162223.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
My third start was Doodles for leftover's - Holiday Sprinkles. It is a small but simple pattern designed around a clay button. All that I have stitched is the border but I'm going to work on it this week.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aUoR5dSoTrg/WQ-RcSXbGBI/AAAAAAAAD1A/vHbDe4-0IXkFr1uvIcOHCTJmnejw-qfJgCLcB/s1600/20170507_162212.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aUoR5dSoTrg/WQ-RcSXbGBI/AAAAAAAAD1A/vHbDe4-0IXkFr1uvIcOHCTJmnejw-qfJgCLcB/s320/20170507_162212.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>

So I decided was going through my bag of starts and found my punch needle projects. I have decided that I do not like punch needle, but I will finish all the projects that I have. I have about 6 more. 4 are ornaments like this one and 2 are fancy projects. This is the 3rd in the series that I have been working on. I am almost done with it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My new start for April is Bent Creek's World of Color Snapper Series. I only worked on this for a day and have almost completed the block. I'm going to work on the border as a go since it is a simple border. The first in the series is red. Yeah, I know there isn't any red, yet. When I finish the tree then I will put in the red colors.</div>

The church had its Youth Activity day. Our church is a small church. I am the youth director among other titles. This year we had rain for our egg hunt. So while a couple of the mothers hid the eggs in the church. I read the Easter story to the children that came for the activity. We let the children hunt for the eggs then had a snack and did a craft. It was fun for them.<br />
<br />
As for my family, several were very ill and couldn't make it to Mom & Dad's house. For lunch, my sister-in-law Mari cooked the ham, copper pennies, and gluten-free carrot cake. My mother made potato salad and a regular yellow cake. We were going to let the kids hunt for eggs, but..... You guessed it, it rained. They were off school for Monday. So, they hunted eggs then instead.<br />

I finished Stacy Nash's Sisters Three. I changed the eye color of one of the girls to match my sister Bridget's eyes. Also, I changed the first row so that all of the letters lined up. I don't know how I will finish it yet. <br />

Then I worked on "A Friend's House" by Sisters & Best Friends. I finished the one hill, the heart, and the road. I have the second house & hill, the words, and the border left. It is looking cute.<br />

Monday, I worked on several projects. I finished one eye on the Curious Owl, a spool of thread on Tuffet's Cupboard, and several spools of thread on the owls. I am trying to finish a couple of these projects. I didn't get a chance to start my new project this month on the 15th but I will this weekend.<br />

I have almost completed it. Really, I should be finished with it but when I was stitching the leaves along the left side and top, I noticed something was wrong. Along the top I stitched over one with one stitch that made the rest off for the entire top. Then I was trying to figure out what else I did wrong when I noticed that I started down one row more than I was supposed to. So, I ripped out the entire top row. I am just going to add one more stitch on the left to bring the top up then I will finish it this week. I only have 17 letters left to stitch and the top row of leaves. I made some adjustments to the color. The pattern only called for 3 colors but I am using 5. One was an oops and the other is the color of my baby sister's eyes. Other than that I am pretty much following the pattern. <br />

This weekend I will start on my new start for April - World of Color Snapper Series by Bent Creek. I love Bent Creek Snapper series. I started with Snapperville. I have stitched the Summer and Winter Snapper series. I still want to stitch the Autumn and Spring snapper series. They are usually quick and easy to do.<br />
<br />
Well got to go. Thanks for stopping by.<br />

Well, I haven't done much stitching but here are a few of the things I have been working on this month. On A Friend's House, I have finished the left side house, tree, and hill. I'm about 45% complete on it. For Tuffet's Cupboard, I have completed the first pattern and am about 50% complete with the 2nd pattern. There are 4 patterns total.<br />

For the owls, I have completed the owls and am now working on the chest of drawers. This one has gotten a little boring because of all of the ecru in the chest of drawers. For the 3 sisters. I have completed about 40%. I ran out of the blue thread. If you look closely the center of the flowers are the wrong color; I pulled the wrong color. They are suppose to match the apron on the dress. But the apron color on the dress blends into the fabric. So I left the centers as they are. But, that color is also supposed to be the flesh color. So I think I'm going to change flesh color to DMC 754. We'll see.<br />
<br />

<br />
My parents are doing better (Dad had the stroke in February and Mom fractured her pelvis in March). My brothers and sisters and I are taking turns staying with them. It's hard on all of us, my parents included, but it is what you do for the people you love.<br />

After Stonehenge, we went to to the city of Bath. We toured Bath Abbey with the angels climbing Jacob's Ladder. It was amazingly beautiful.<br />

On our last day in London, we toured Westminster Abbey and did a Harry Potter walking tour. Westminster Abbey was an amazing place with ancient sarcophagus. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside. I got to see the grave of Charles Darwin, Sir Isaac Newton, Mary Queen of Scot, and many more.<br />

We had a great time. I am so glad that I went. Next school year we are going to New York.<br />

Thanks for stopping by.<br />

The train trip was great. I enjoyed the countryside.<br />

Once we got there, we were nearly blown away by the wind, We walked to our hotel to check in; the Holiday Inn express which had larger rooms than in London. We spent the rest of the day shopping along the Royal Mile. We ate lunch at the Whiski. I didn't order but did eat haggis. It wasn't good. I thought it would taste really bad, but it didn't.<br />

We spent the second day visiting attractions. We walked from our hotel to Edinburgh Castle. It was amazing. I didn't get to spend as much time there as I wanted but I was happy to see such an ancient place. Then we walked to Holyrood Palace. Holyrood had an audio tour which I enjoyed. I wish I could have taken some pictures but they didn't allow it. We left at around 4:30 to go back to London. I wish we could have stayed another day and saw more of Edinburgh than just the Royal Mile.<br />

We flew from New Orleans, LA to Newark, NJ then to London. We left Newark at 6:30 pm and arrived in London at 6:20 am. We dropped our bags at the hotel and hit the town. We stayed up all day and went to the London Tower to see the crown jewels, the Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey (which was closed), then back to the hotel to freshen up before going to Piccadilly Circus for supper.<br />

The second day, we went to Buckingham Palace for the changing of the guard. Where I stood were some rude people who put their children on the fence so no one could see (their kids could see over the brick area of the fence). I recorded it and watched what I could, then over to Churchill's War Museum. Then we went to Trafalgar Square. I went to the National Art Museum. I only got to see half of it but I loved what I saw. After supper, we went to King's Cross Station to have our picture taken at Platform 9-3/4.<br />

Monday was not a very good day. We didn't plan well; hindsight is 20/20. We had the boat tour on the Thames River, walked from the Tower Bridge to Shakespeare's Globe Theater (could tour because play for local schools was being presented. So went to the museum. Walked from there to the London Dungeon's Tour (great tour) and then the London Eye (awesome view). We ate supper at Harrod's (I ate in the Tea Room with Rudy).<br />

I am going to London and Edinburgh next week during my spring break. I am very excited and nervous. I have traveled within the United States by airplane and automobile. But, this is my first foray across the ocean. It will also be my first train trip (from London to Edinburgh and back). I have been gathering all the things that I need. I plan to pack everything on Thursday. The only bad thing about this trip is that I have to get up at 4:00 am on Friday to meet the group at 5:15am to travel to the airport. I don't do well with getting up early. Other than that, I think I am good.<br />
<br />
So what did I work on this weekend and this week. I stitched a little bit on Tre civette sul comò by Madame Chantilly and Tuffet's Cupboard. But I didn't complete very much. I didn't work very long on either one. Next week I won't be stitching much either because of the trip.<br />
<br />
I will post pictures.<br />

My father came home from the hospital. Because of his stroke, I have been staying with my parents at night. Thank God it was Mardi Gras holidays. I was able to stay night and day with them through the weekend and for Monday & Tuesday. My brothers and sisters an sister-in-law stepped up and covered Wednesday and Thursday during the day. I have been preparing for my first international trip to London. So I crocheted myself a hat and cowl. It was supposed to be a scarf but I didn't have enough yarn. I actually crocheted this hat with a scarf for my cousin Kathy. She really liked it. So, did I. Hence, I made one for me.<br />

Also this week I finished my part of the Halloween Rules, Eat Candy & Visit a Haunted House, on Bridget's. This month and next I will work on Jennifer's Halloween Rules. I had to make a few changes to the colors because they didn't match or they blended in with the color of the fabric. I am really enjoying this Round Robin with my sisters.<br />

Next I have to work on the Jennifer's. The patterns are Scare a Crow and Carve a Pumpkin. It is really quick and easy.<br />
