the absentee blogger, that's me

Hi! I haven't been in a 'blogging' mood lately, lol. I get in these moods every now and then when I just get real quiet and don't have much to say. I don't mean to ignore anybody, it just happens.
I haven't gotten much done on my stitching lately either, no new finishes to show yet. I have a drawer full of wip's and ufo's begging for my attention but I just don't really have any desire to stitch on them at the moment. So I'm crocheting instead as I can't not do nothing, you know what I mean? Like when I sit down to watch tv, I have to have something in my hands to keep busy with. It's really rare when a movie captures my attention enough for me to just sit and watch it. Transformers was the last movie I watched and was totally into it. My husband likes to tease me when I'm sitting on the couch watching tv and reading a book! lol, multi-tasking at it's finest! I will try to be better about updating here, hugs

a small afghan finish

some updates

Here is my progress on the sign sampler, after finishing the first row, I've discovered I am 3 rows off on all but the bottom row :0( I've decided to skip to the bottom two rows to see what it will look like when I get those signs stitched. If it doesn't look wrong I will leave it alone~grrr

This is Reign by My Big Toe. I'm stitching it 2x2 on 28 count with Vikki Clayton silks. I've changed the colors quite a bit, it calls for Crescent colors old red paint/dmc 902 and old purple paint/dmc 3740. I didn't like those colors, they seem drab to me. I wanted brighter colors~

and last, but certainly not least, here is my progress on Dark Cherry for the haed bb sal. I've almost completed the first page. Got the last page in the last sal weekend, lol I'd say I'm a little behind! She's so pretty, I love stitching on her ;0)

corner-to-corner crochet throw finished

Here is my latest afghan finish, it's a free pattern by red heart called Corner-to-corner crochet throw. I started it as a scrap afghan, naturally had to buy more yarn to finish it, lol! I really like this pattern, it was very easy to do. My next project will be a kit I ordered from Herrschner's for my b-day, can't wait for it to get here! ;)

Sign Sampler update

Only the backstitching and beads in the border left to go!

My teeny, tiny biscornu!

Here is the smallest biscornu I've ever attempted! It's 19 stitches wide by 19 stitches long and that's including the backstitching to sew it with lol! It's on 18 count aida with hdf, I don't know the name of the color. It was from a d-bag~
