Chief Red Cloud 5-25-07

Week 3 and am making progress on Chief Red Cloud. Did manage to get all the way to the left side and am at the border now. YAY!! Yippeee! Now I need to go up to the corner. I didn't work on this for 2 days this week, just needed a little break. I got my new glasses yesterday and will try them out tonight to see how they are to stitch with. I think they will be fine as I can SEE better with them. lol

7 Things

I've been tagged by Meari for the 7 Things meme.Here are the rules: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they have been tagged and to read your blog!

1. I accidentally hung myself when I was a kid. I fell out of a tree and the back of my T-shirt caught on a branch stub and the T-shirt ripped as far as it was going too, hanging me in the tree. If it wasn’t for one of my cousins that ran to the house to get help I wouldn’t be here today.

2. Was bitten by a RAT when I was a kid. Just trying to help the rat out of an old feed barrel we had and the ungrateful rodent turned around and bit me. No one believed me that a rat bitten me until I showed them the rat still in the barrel. Almost had to take rabies shots.

3. I was a little dare devil on my dirt bike growing up. Had several close calls then. GEESH I am dangerous!!!

4. Graduated College with a 3.4 GPA. Sure was a shocker, considering I almost flunked out of elementary and High School. They just bored me. LOL

5. Learned how to drive a car when I was very young, first by sitting in my Mom’s lap, then as I got older and bigger I sat beside her while she pressed herself over into the driver’s door. Then gradually as I got bigger, she disappeared from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat. When I got my driver’s license at 16 I had already been driving for about 8 years. :)

6. Out of my Grandmother’s 43 grandchildren I was her favorite. She had me to place a Yellow Rose in her hands at her funeral to prove it.

7. Am a huge animal nut! All animals!

I tag: They have all been tagged already!

Chief Red Cloud 5-18-07

Week 2 update. Have stitched every night this week. The face is almost finished, except for what is on the other pages, which isn't much. Working on the feather and the head band now. Again this is a 10 inch hoop, so the finished size will be huge. Also will work on moving further to the left then up to the top. Am excited about how this is looking so far. YAY!!

Happy Mother's Day

Mom, You're an Angel

Not everyone believes

in angels, but I do -

I have one of my very own,

and I call her "Mom."

You've always been there for me

in so many loving ways

that sometimes I really do feel

as if I have my own personal angel,

You've shared

my hopes and dreams,

and taught me

how to believe in myself

so that one day

I could spread my own wings

and fly.

So much of who I am

is because of the special woman

you are.

That's why, on Mother's Day

and always,

I'm so thankful that my angel Mom

is you.

The flowers aren't from me, but from my cousin Judy. Her Mom passed away 4 years ago and has called my mom her's ever since.

Chief Red Cloud Week 1

The end of week 1 and this is what Chief Red Cloud looks like. You can tell that it's going to be a large project by the size of the face in a 10 inch hoop. It looks a little strange around the eye right now but that will change after tonight. YAY!!

Today was my final day for the 12 week weight lose course and I lost 5 more pounds. YAY!!!!! Total of 27 pounds in a 12 week course, am very proud of myself over that. A Grand total of 40 pounds since November. WOOHOO!!!! Next step is back to OSU and hopefully I can go on to get the surgery over with.

Chief Red Cloud

Chief Red Cloud has begun! YAY! This is my third Indian from the book Native American Cross Stitch by Julie Hasler. The first two I gave away The Neze Perce Tribes Woman to my Auntie V and the Sioux Warrior to her daughter Denese. Chief Red Cloud I will keep. The stitched size is 190 x 280 with a total of 53,200 stitches and will take approximately 5 months to complete.

Butterflies Finished

It is finished with all the adjustments I had to make as the vinyl weave is too short. You would never know if I don't point it out. :) The reason I picked the butterflies out were they remind me of my Aunt Barb, she taught me to stitch.

New Online photo Album

I have changed my online photo album to a new site. Click Me Here Apparently Yahoo is ending their online photo album this fall, so I thought I might as well change it now. I did remove some of the files to make it easier to navigate. I am thinking about switching it over to webshots, but will let you know when and if I do.
