It's done!!

Well I finished Freezun Seazun today. I had to get the owner of my LNS to help me with the Holly leaves. Once I got that figured out it just fell all together nicely. Today I just had to finish one side of Holly leaves and add all the beads and charms.

On to some Hardanger Ornaments now.

More progress on Freezun Seazun

Ok well here is todays progress on Freezun Seazun. It is really taking shape fast. I started on the Holly leaves tonight. Got two done and said done. I will work on them tomorrow when I have the sunshine and the patients. I can't wait to have this finished now. At first I was worried that the fabric was not blue enough. But now that I am adding the blue it is looking better.

I didn't do much exercise today as my arms hurt from working out at the gym yesterday. But not bad enough to stop me from going tomorrow. I will do what I did yesterday plus add in leg weights. Hopefully I will still be walking on Friday. Well so much for easing in to the gym slowly. It looks like the arrhythmias are fairly well controlled at this point which is fantastic. Now lets hope it stays that way for awhile.

Today I had my niece so we called our cousins to see if they wanted to get together and do something. The girls haven't seen each other at all since school finished. So we were going to go Glow in the Dark Mini Golfing. When we got there the place had 150 kids already there. Must have been a day camp outing or something. So we ended up going to the movies instead. We saw Wall-E. It is not quite what I was exptecing but it was good never the less. But the better entertainment was when the four of us were in the theater alone eating the popcorn. The girls (ages 6 and 9) each got a small popcorn and with it you get a flavoring for it free. So they both picked Salt and Vinagar because you know they have to be the same. Well Tracey (9 year old) put half the package on her popcorn and Mackenzie (my niece and the 6 year old) put the whole thing on hers. So we were eating it and dying with the amount of vineager on it. I started with taking the first few pieces and inhaling nearly choking one the strength. Mackenzies was so strong. I finally mixed it up enough it could be eaten. Well Vicki my older cousin grabbed a handfull and was eating the popcorn. Thought she had a kernel and it was actually a clump of Salt & Vinager mix. Well I thought she was going to pass out it was so strong. She was sitting their stamping her feet and rocking back and forth. I was laughing so hard I had tears streaming down my face and I couldn't breath. Tracey said to me my face was beat red from laughing.

Vicki and I are 5 years apart and are just like sisters. The crazy times we have had together.

WIP progress and stuff

Ok I have the main picture now outlined and the word "Freezun" in. Not bad progress for 2 1/2 hours today. I have now started the blue boarder where the snowflakes go. Hopefully it won't take much longer to do.

My garden is really comming along nicely. It smells like a funeral home with all the lilies I have. At least that is what they remind me of. Here are some pictures of the garden I really like.

I love this picture. It is of my Shasta Daisies and my Cherokee Sunset Gloriosa Dasisies. They make a nice contrast together.

This is just one section of my lilies. I have 4 spots in my garden with various lilies. I have pictures in my webshots of all my flowers in the garden. Adding more almost daily. Feel free to check it out. They are all in Garden 2008.

Today was my first day back at the gym in almost 2 1/2 months. It was great. I have been told to start slowly but that kinda didn't happen. I did 30 minutes at 2.8 on the Treadmill. 15 minutes on the bike and 15 minutes of weight training. Then my friend called me and asked if I wanted to go for a walk. SO I walked for an hour. I really like this being able to exercise again. Tomorrow I am taking my niece and 2 cousins to play 18 holes of glow in the dark mini golf. That should be loads of fun. I should be so sore by Thursday that I can't move but it is back to the gym and mega gardening. Doesn't sound like too much stitching is going to get done. I am sure I will find some time for it.

Freezun Seazun current WIP

This is Freezun Seazun by Calico Crossroads. It is on Forget Me Not Blue. After I frogged the white around the out side about 22 times I finally got it all to match up properly. There are so many 1/4 stitches and with white ont he Forget Me Not (almost white its self) it is hard to follow sometimes. Hopefully this will be done this week.

Cherie I did this one next just for you since you liked it so much.

Spring with buttons

Here is Think Spring by Calico Crossroads with the buttons and all on it now. I did it on 28 ct Light Pink Jubliee fabric with Fireworks Treads by Olde Williow Stitchery. I think this will make a neat little pillow.

Birthday Stash

This is what all I bought with my birthday money. I wasn't able to get a few things as my LNS has to put in an order. That's ok cause I have other stuff to do in the mean time. I have picked up "PEACE" by M Design again and hopefully that will only take me about a week to do.

Feeling pretty good.

Even with all this heat I have been feeling pretty good. My medication change seems to be holding my arrhythmias so far. I have had to take a supplementry dose a few days but nothing too bad yet. I seem to be able to do alittle more which is what I wanted so that is good. At least the feeling of not getting enough air in my lungs and the suffocation sensation is now gone which is great. Those feelings were starting to scare me and I don't scare easily. I should find out at the begining of August if this new medication is affecting my Thyroid or not. Lets hope not.

I have another finish today. I am not sure how many that is for this year now I have lost count. I think I am ahead of you tho Beth. I did "Think Spring" by Calico Crossroads. See previous post. All I have let to do is put on the charms and make it into a pillow. That should be interesting since I do not sew. Ihae o get th charms toorrow when I do my large stash shopping. I got some gift certficates and money for my birthday last week so that is why the shopping. Plus The Golden Threads (the needle work shop) is holding their Christmas in July sale.

My garden is coming along nicely this year. I have put loads of pictures in my webshots album under Garden 2008. I have a few more to add right now and there will be more as the day go buy so check often. http://community.webshots.com/user/AuntieKathy

Think Sping is DONE!!

Think Spring is now done. It was a fast stitch with lots of new speciality stitches in it. I think it too me about 3 days to complete since I had an issue with the little purple flower.I did it on Pink Lugana 28 count with Fireworks threads from Olde Willow Stitchery. I just have to get the charms and add them. That will be tomorrow since I am going stash shopping.The other picture of Think Spring is the picture on the leaflet. The designer is Calico Crossroads. I will now be doing up some Hardanger ornaments for my classes in September.
