    You paid attention during 74% of high school!

    68-84% Pretty good, you know that there are libraries and newspapers, and you remember what you've read. You were a child that wasn't left behind!

    Do you deserve your high school diploma?

    Mouse pad "Butterflies" update
    Thought I should post a photo of where I stand on the Mouse pad. Not much more and I will be finished with the main stitching, then it's the back stitching which isn't much. The vinyl weave isn't bad to work with, but I don't think I would want to use it as my main fabric. Uh I have just been informed by the spell check that Mouse Pad is two words not one word like I have been doing. oops!

    I think I have spring fever or something, just been too tired (or maybe it's laziness) lately to do anything. My stitching has taken a backseat as well as my blogging. The weather is fantastic here, up in the 70's, 80's and low 90's, without all that blistering heat or humidity. Everything is growing, my Sand Cherry tree has leaves on it as well as the neighbors maple tree. Yup I have Spring Fever and want to be outside with all the pollen.

    Upcoming project is going to be the third Indian design by Julie Hasler. It's going to be Chief Red Cloud and I am keeping this one. YAY! It's the same size as the previous two I stitch with 190 x 280 = 53,200 full stitches and no backstitching. It will keep me busy for about 5 months, but in the end it will be well worth it.

    Mousepad


    Started my new project on the 14th, it's a mousepad using Vinyl Weave, my first time to do anything with this type of material. Can't use a hoop nor scroll rods, it's the good old free hand style, oh yippeee! The photo above is 2 nights of work and I have a huge problem already. Either I counted wrong to find the center or the vinyl weave isn't large enough. After I finished last night I counted over to the right side and guess what it's 4 spaces too short. YIKES!!!! I am not doing the Frog thing and will just have to adjust the chart when I get over to it. The photo below is what it will eventually look like (fingers crossed).

    Achoo! Finished
    Achoo is finished! I started working on it 2-21-2007 and finished last night 4-10-2007. Did this as a Stitch Along with my friend Glenda (Click on her name to see her blog). She finished the night before me, such a speedster. lol We both agree that working with 5 strands at once isn't all that simple to do. The 5 strands are on the spots that are laying on the floor and they aren't even noticeable unless you actually touch the fabric. Oh well it's done and now we can begin another project. YAY!! Thank you Glenda for doing this Stitch Along with me, it was great FUN!!!!!

    Achoo update 4-9-07
    Bet you thought I forgot all about my blog by now. Hadn't forgot just didn't take the time to post. Not only that I don't lead the most interesting life either. Oh Yippeee! A party animal I am not. haha

    Thought I better post a new photo of Achoo! Am doing the half stitches for the spots and it is a pain. Some of them are 5 strands thick which makes it really hard to work with and the pushing and pulling makes it really hard to manipulate to get through the hole. But all and all it is looking pretty darn good now. Several more spots then the backstitches, then it's time to wash it out, the best part of a finish. Here have a look and let me know what you think.
