SFS + IHSW

Well once again I spent $0.  Really the whole 'I'm having to move thing' makes me not buying stuff a lot easier. ;) That being said, I'm now moved in and now just unpacking boxes.

I will post a picture of my progress later this weekend.

This month has just been crazy with the move and all.  So I'm STILL not finished with Emma's announcement. -__- I think I'm going to have to get a start on the Christmas stocking soon though at this rate or that won't be finished on time either.

I do have the border finished (finally) so I can work on the rest of the inside now.  I'm down to the end and I think that's part of the problem, I want to move on and do other things and I really really want to start R&J but I can't until I get Emma's projects done first! I promised myself I wouldn't touch R&J till then so I have to stick with it.  Otherwise Emma is never going to get stocking or announcement. ;)

R&J is going to be a HUGE project! One I'm looking forward to starting, and one that I'm going to get framed and keep. :) It's probably my 2nd huge project, and the biggest one I've done so far, so this will be interesting. I will probably have to do a few smaller projects during it just so I don't go insane and take oh.....4 or 5 years to finish this one like I did with Thomas's gift. I'd like to get that one professionally framed and stretched out since I didn't do a great job with it. One of these days I'll get to it. 

I also haven't found a craft store up in Lawton outside of Hobby Lobby and JoAnns so I think my stash buying is going to be cut back a lot since my only other option is online.  Not that that's a problem but it does help cut it down for me when I don't have a store to drive to and go 'ooohhhh' when I'm surrounded by patterns, fabric, thread, ect. I have an easier time just adding things to 'wishlists' online and refraining from buying them then I do when I go to a store.

As for IHSW, I didn't really get much stitching done that weekend.  I had company come in and between that and getting my apartment semi cleaned up (and laundry....omg the laundry!) I just didn't feel like stitching.

Till next time, happy stitching! ^_^

      haha don't be. Your box was fun to open. It was like an early Christmas or birthday present. ^_^ Need to put the stuff in my stash drawer and finish getting my desk in the spare bedroom/computer room set up

Okay so today's little blog is actually NOT all about stitching, or really even my current WIP as I'm sure you can tell by the title. Let me start this out by explaining a few things.  About a month or so ago Thomas and I went to Kenny's apartment for dinner.  Kenny is one of Thomas's old West Point roommates, a good friend, and one of his classmates at this Captain's Career Course. He lives in the same apartment complex as we do, just a few buildings over.  We periodically switch around who hosts dinner, usually on the weekends, since Kenny lives by himself but still likes to cook and it's frustrating to cook for only one person. I like to cook as well and we both like to cook for other people so....thus the current arrangement. Well Kenny made homemade pasta that night for dinner and it was AMAZING! Seriously, like WAAAAY better than store bought pasta. He showed me his wonderful metal pasta machine that he had picked up at Ross (or some place like that) y

WIPocalypse 2014 - January

So....I'm a little late in this post as it's not Jan 16th but....I kinda forgot about it.  Oh well, better late than never right? ^_^ So the topic for this month is to introduce ourselves, my projects, and my goals for the year so here it goes! Hi!! My name is Krystal.  I'm 27, live in Texas and am married to the best guy in the world! Okay...I'm slightly biased.  Thomas, my husband, and I have been together since high school, that's oh.....11 years now and we have been married for 2 although not without some difficulty. Thomas was my brother's friend in HS through scouts, lacrosse, and all three of us were in band together - Thomas played percussion, I played flute, and Jason was a base/alto clarinet player. Oh! One more thing in regards to that....I'm a triplet.  I have a brother, Jason who is a sports photographer for the Woodlands newspaper, and a sister, Lindsey, who was in choir in high school and works as a teacher's aide in a afterschool/da

July 4th weekend...

First off let me say that I got practically no stitching done over the holiday weekend and I'm okay with that. ^_^ 7-4 work - Red bow and start of blue present Got to spend Friday and Sat with the in-laws and Sunday with my family.  Jason and Sarah brought Emma for the family get together so I was supper excited to finally get to see and hold her.  She was sleeping when they arrived and I got to hold her. She's a cuddle bug! She was completely content to sleep on my chest all curled up. Emma snuggles Not the best picture quality because I was taking the selfie with my phone.  Which is another thing Thomas and I did over the break, get new phones! We both got the Samsung Galaxy s5, his is black and mine is white, and actually the camera takes much better pictures it was just hard for me to do with one hand. lol Isn't she adorable?  I know, I'm slightly biased.  I was also asked to be her Godmother!! Of course I said yes! So I'm not only an Aunt but a Go
