Happy New Year to all

2012 may not have been the best, but there is always hope that 2013 will be better for us all on a lot of levels! Here's wishing you a lot health, wealth, stitching time and happiness for the coming year!

2012 has not been a good year ....

For me, this has not been the best year in the world and I hope 2013 looks up on a lot of levels. Classes have been pretty good and with the class this spring I'll have 146 out of the 150 hours I need to take the CPA. I'm going to try to set that up quickly. I figure if I could do it right either October 2013 or April 2014 will be when I take that test. These classes have just kicked my stitching time down along with spending too much time on Facebook. I apologize to all of you who have been following me expecting to see a lot of pictures. Hopefully that will change quickly. I have several projects near close to finish ( at least 3/4 done) so that will be where I plan to start for 2013. Happy Holidays to all of you! ( for whichever holiday you do celebrate in the next few days to week)

WIPocalpse August #2

No pictures but I have picked up the needle a few times...most recent for a friend's project. I am in the middle of classes but I'm trying to pick up the needle again in the midst of job hunting and a few other things.

Sorry I haven't been around

Life after February or March got way out of whack and it has taken this long to get back in somewhat a state of balance. I haven't picked up a needle since about mid March. I plan to pick it up again here over the next couple of weeks and over the olympics. I'll probably do a few sprints since I have a couple that are close and then I plan to pull out a big piece I think and go back and frog it because I'm off just like 5 stitches but I can't fudge it to make it work. It is a huge piece that I plan to give away to my parents but I might stitch it again myself because I like it so much and I have a similar piece that matches out that I plan to do. Anyway no pics since I haven't touched it but will get ones in a bit once I add more.

April Check in

Well a month has gone by and I haven't had the chance to really pick-up a needle. I have been reading fan fics, classwork and dealing with getting a new job and other family life so the March check in is where I stand right now. I hope to try to pick up a needle again soon, but this class is requiring a lot of time reading, posting and projects.

Anyway...see you all soon!

March WIPoclypse check in

Sorry about these photos being sideways...they are saved right side up on my hard drive so I don't get why it is doing this.

I had maybe 2 hours after last check in from IHSW due to online class and family stuff on top of the usual work etc.

I hope to get a few finishes before the April check in.

IHSW weekend update

I'm about to head off to bed but decided to post my update pic first. I probably spent a total of 8 or 9 hours over the weekend in total on it
