iStitch Advent SAL Day 16....

Ooooohhhh it is turning out soooo nice!!!  I am loving this more and more each day.  Now I just need to get more of the border stitched in a little more each day so it's not all left to do at the end.

I am now off to stitch some tonight.  I have had another very busy day.  I have been thinking today about this upcoming year and I have already began organizing ..... mentally ..... of what needs to be done.  I will take the time in the next few days to write down these ideas, projects and make my 2017 TO DO LIST.  Do you make a list?  I am an organizer, list maker, planner for a lot of things but especially for my stitching projects for the upcoming year.  Now my mind is whirring for this new year and thinking of all the things I want to get stitched for gifts!!!

Happy Stitching!

iStitch Advent SAL Day 15.....

Whew!  And to think I thought I was going to be posting this at 9p.m. tonight.  We have had a full day of activity and I just finished stitching my homework.  LOL  I just love the fact that I am forcing myself to make sure to get each part done daily so I can stay on top of this SAL.  So far so good.

Here is where I am at today.

Until tomorrow....Happy Stitching!

iStitch Advent Day 14......

Yeah me!!!  I actually got this stitched earlier today, but I just did not have time to post it on my blog.  Oh well.  I get to post it now!

Just another busy day here today but I am ready to really settle in for some stitching tonight as we just got a phone call saying DS school was on a 2hr delay tomorrow morning.  WOOHOOO  we get to sleep in!!!

I'm off to stitch while I can.

Happy Stitching everyone!

iStitch Advent SAL Day 13 and first snow this winter....

Yep....I would have been done sooner than now but as you read in the subject line....WE GOT SNOW!!!!  WOOHOO!!!  LOL  Some people dread it.  I look for it!  It was soooo pretty this morning as it was falling outside and the longer the day went on, we got more and MORE!!!

First things first.....the iStitch Advent SAL for today's posting!  As I said, I would have been done sooner today but it just didn't happen.

Here is where I am at.  I had some white silk left on my needle so I went ahead and have finished across the top of the border.  YEAH!!!  Now to get more down the side and the bottom.

This is going to just be beautiful piece when we all complete our daily Advent SAL!!  I will have to frame mine as my fabric is 32ct and not the 36ct or 40ct that I had hoped to be stitching on.  I could have ordered more fabric, but then I would be LATE in the daily stitching, and I just didn't want to do that.

Now for some SNOW pictures to share with you.  Silly me should have went out FIRST to take all the pictures before shoveling the snow like I usually do.  Oh well.  Life goes on.  I'm sure we'll have MORE snow days as the weathermen say we are to have a very bad winter this year.  I hope not so my heating bill won't be astronomically high.  I don't mind shoveling snow.  That way DH can't complain I am not getting any exercise......like doing laundry is not doing exercise.  In my book....it is!  LOL

Just to show you how deep it is on my van hood.  I usually have my van in the garage but we have company this week.  So instead of me asking them to constantly to move their car, I thought it would be easier to just leave mine outside.  They said they would help me keep it cleaned off if it snowed.  And they did!

Measuring how deep it is on the van hood which is sloped anyway.

Measuring the snow on the van roof!  WOW!  5" of snow!

Ok.  That's all I have to share today!  Now.....back to some down time and more stitching tonight!

Happy Stitching!

iStitch Advent SAL Day 12.....

Well at least it's not midnight when I'm posting my picture tonight.  LOL   I am enjoying this SAL so much, but I do have other commitments during the day that keep me from stitching as early on it as I would like.  But at least I am keeping up with it.

Here is where I am tonight.  Evidentally I forgot to do part of the church last night.  UGH.  I really must have been tired.  I made up for it tonight and stitched the little bit from last night and then all of today's portion.  I am like Carol.  I am waiting til it's all stitched to stitch in the snow part on the trees.

Happy Stitching!

iStitch Advent SAL Day 11.....

YEAH!!!  It's NOT 9pm when I am posting this.  However....yes I have had a very busy day.  Sunday's are always busy for me as we go to Sunday School and church service, hurry home to eat lunch and then I take DS to his tennis match.  Once I got home from the tennis match, I realized I needed to do some laundry as well and then to fix dinner.  I'm sure some of you can relate to these kind of days.

Here is where I am at on Day 11.  I am still ENJOYING this SAL.

Now off to stitch on 2 last ornaments that I hope to get completely finished stitching by tomorrow.   Then I can mail them out to their recipients!!

Happy Stitching!

iStitch Advent SAL Day 10.....

Yeah!  I'm still on track.  I only had a few stitches left to complete for today but didn't get them done earlier before going to a movie with the family.   So now I've finished it and ready to post about it.

I will hopefully get my SAL finished earlier tomorrow after church service and DS tennis match.

Happy Stitching!
