Rejoice Always

Ta Da I finished this Wednesday night. YAY! This is why I had no update for Cheif Red Cloud for Week 30. I just couldn't put Rejoice down cause I was so close to being finished. I washed it last night and ironed it today. The photo don't do it justice but the colors are so wonderful. Next week Chief will be updated.

Chief Red Cloud 11-23-07

Week 29 and I didn't post it last week due to Thanksgiving. This is the post you missed, and your wondering what is different from Week 28. There is some, I filled in between the red and down the left side of the red. Click on the photos for week 28 and week 29 and you can tell the difference. For this week 30 I won't post an update as I haven't worked on it since Thanksgiving night. Will explain in next post.

Here's Rejoice Always with some of the backstitching down the left side and across the bottom. End is in site.

Chief Red Cloud 11-16-07

Week 28 and still counting. Looks like the end might be in sight, but I know it will be at least a couple more months. Did manage to get a bright picture for a change. Am learning about my camera as I go, who would have known if you pressed this little button on the back that it would control the brightness. rofl
.

Rejoice Always is coming along nicely too. Since I got a brighter photo this time you can see how the colors are. I worked on it some before I posted today and almost have the border completed. All that's left is the backstitching. YAY!!

Out My Window

This is what I get to look at every morning when I get up. It's a burning bush and I have four of them, one placed at each corner of my garage. Too bad Autumn is a short season.

Kellie Pickler - I wonder

More Videos

This is my 100th post and thought I would put the video up by Kellie Pickler. She was on the CMA awards this past week singing this song and it just went right through me as it reminds me of my Dad. Kellie wrote this song about her Mom whom abandoned her when she was 2 years old.
.
My Dad left when I was one and half years old and only met him 4 times after that before he died. The first time I remember him coming into my Mom's shop trying to get her to go to Florida with him (he was remarried too), I was about 7 or 8 years old. The second time I saw my Dad I was 14 and he picked me up for an afternoon of major boredom. The third time I was graduating from High School and I gave him and my half brother tickets for the commencement, but of course it was no show. The final time was the week of my 21 st birthday he was dying and asked for me to come. Of course I went!

Chief Red Cloud 11-09-07

Week 27 is this ever going to be finished???? Got to work on some color this week and not just all browns. Almost half finished of page 3, YAY!!! Hopefully I can finish page 3 by the end of the year and do the final page next year. I am going to try to pick up my pace and try to get more done every day.

Got a lot stitched on Rejoice Always. I stitched on it Friday and Saturday and will this week too since I still don't have a center point for the Msal 2, maybe next Friday I will get the center point so I can start on it. So far there are only two reindeer to stitch.

Someone was sleepy and I wouldn't just leave her alone by snapping a few photos of her. She's just too cute with her legs and paws hanging over the edge of her bed.

Chief Red Cloud 11-02-07

Week 26 a little progress this week. All I wanted to do this week was sleep and sleep and more sleep. Don't know what it is but I want to sleep now too. There were a few days I didn't work on the Chief and the days I did were'nt for very long periods.

I didn't work on Rojoice Always last Saturday like I planned. The Christmas Msal was a day late so that put me a day late stitching which is ok. I got the new Christmas Msal 2 yesterday and since there was no reference to a center point on it I decided to work on Rejoice last night. YAY!!! I will also stitch on Rejoice tonight too, then it will be a two day update when I post it.

The new Christmas Msal is printed out and all there is on it is a reindeer. I think it's the bottom left but without that center mark I have no clue. I thought it best to wait until next week to find out what the second part looks like before I had to frog a lot.

Finally cooler weather here. YAY!!! It's been getting down in the 20's and 30's at night. They are predicting snow for this coming week (fingers crossed)! I can remember Thanksgiving with a lot of snow on the ground and Halloween with a skiff of snow too.

Have a great stitching week everyone!
