| Chief Red Cloud 9-28-07 |
  Week 21 and not exactly a lot of stitching this week, but I did at least get some work in on Chief Red Cloud. YAY!!! Also got started on Rejoice Always, not much but at least it's a start. . Went into Wal-Marts on Wednesday and went to the Craft Dept. I had heard through some of the yahoo groups that I belong too that the floss was on sale for 10 cents a skein and sure enough it was at mine too. It had already been picked over so most of the colors were gone. I managed to get 219 skeins of what was left, that's duplicate colors and sometimes 3 or 4 of the same colors. Thought I could just hold it back until I needed it. Sadly the sales lady said that Wal-Marts is doing away with the entire Craft Dept. including the fabric too, and she proceeded to tell us to keep our eyes open for the sales. . It's really sad that Wal-Marts is doing this as we are a small town and now there is no place locally that sells floss. I will have to drive to the next town over which is 35 miles away or order it online, either way I will be losing cause I would have to pay gas one way or postage the other way, so it's really got me in a jam. I am sure that I am not the only one. Thanks MR. BIG BUSINESS!! Labels: cross stitch |

 Week 20 and I am over the HALF WAY MARK! Yippeeeee, YAY!!!! WOO HOO!!! I am doing the Happy Dance. lol I have done two other Indian designs the exact same size as this one and they took 5 months to complete, I am beginning to think this one is going to take longer. lol Actually I stitched on them about 8 hours a day but now I am only stitching 2 to 3 hours a day, guess I am getting slower in my old age. Oh well when it get's done it get's done. . I am thinking about doing another project and work on it during the day only and the Chief at night in my normal time slot. I have it already just need that little push to start it. The design is Rejoice Always. Labels: cross stitch |

 Week 19 update! I think I jinxed myself as you can see I did not get it finished this week. :( But I have it so close I know it will be finished by next Friday. Also I will be working on page 3 this coming week. YAY!!!! It's amazing how it's coming together, if you look in my online photo album under WIP you can see my progress from week 10 to the current date.
.
The small photo to the right shows you how much I have left on page 2. Not much there to do, just the border and some white on white again, but I think this is the last of white on white for a while, or at least I am hoping. Wish me luck this week to start on page 3 this week. YAY!!!
.
On the none stitching news front, I went to the Surgeon Monday and I am 25 pounds over where he wants me. GRRRR I had gained 45 pounds of the 53 pounds I lost, it's all due to those horrible steroids I had to take for the rash. Guess what I still have the rash. Go figure! The surgeon laughed and said "What was my family Dr. trying to do Sabotage us." Anyway he said it was too dangerous being above a certain level and lose the 25 pounds and I can have the surgery. So he put me on a liquid diet. It isn't bad and I can eat some too. I have a liquid meal replacement called HMR, the chocolate is yummy almost taste like a chocolate milk shake, the vanilla isn't as good, but if I put some extra vanilla flavoring in it and a dash of peanut butter it is pretty good then. Oh it's ok for the peanut butter cause it is protein. Here's my new eating schedule. It's a 1200 daily calorie intake.
.
Breakfast: 1 HMR shake
mid morning snack: 1 HMR shake, medium apple
Lunch: 1 HMR shake, small salad with 2 tbsp of low fat dressing
mid afternoon snack: 1 HMR shake
Dinner: Healthy Choice dinner (or Weight Watchers meal etc...) under 300 calories
evening snack: 1 HMR shake
.
4 days on the plan and I have lost weight, YAY!!!!
.
"Nothing taste as good as thin feels!"
.
Hope you have a very Happy Stitching week.Labels: cross stitch |

| Chief Red Cloud 9-07-07 |
Week 18 and what a long 18 weeks it has been too. I only have about a fourth left and I will be finished with half of the Chief. YAY!!! I can't wait either. Do you think I can do it this week? I hope so as I really want to go on and do other projects. I didn't stitch Monday night as I was down in the back all week from mopping the floors. My back is doing great now so maybe I can stitch up a storm. . Mom got her stitches out from where Peajib bit her. YAY!! Peajib is out of quarantine and was checked out by her Vet which cost me $30 more. grrrr But she has to charge as it is her business and State Law that she check the dogs out. So while Peajib was there she got her nails clipped and her gland pushed, a good bill of health. The little stinker even kissed Dr. Cindy. lol Labels: cross stitch |
