Sept IHSW, SFS + WIPocalypse

Okay so I really need to get better at blogging on time.

So - for WIPocalypse the question is: "Who is your favorite person to stitch for, or do you prefer to keep your stitching yourself?" I don't really have a favorite person to stitch for, I stitch a lot of gifts though, mostly for family. I do have a few projects that I'm going to make for myself though - Teresa's R&J and my Orchid/Butterfly ones I'm going to keep. There area few others that I might keep as well. Overall though most of the items I stitch I end up stitching with other people in mind.

Progress as of Sunday
IHSW:

It was a lot of fun. Finally got to hang with all my wonderful ladies at one time.  I made some progress on my stocking for Miss Emma (about 173 stitches on Sat and 174 on Sunday). I would have done more on Sat, but I got off to go play SWTOR with my hubby which was fun too. 


9/26 Progress
SFS:

Well I went home to Kingwood for a weekend visit and to pick up my car a couple of weeks ago.  One of these days my Mom and I went to JoAnn's because she wanted to look for some colored felt for a project.  I went looking at cross-stitching supplies.  I picked up 30 different DMC colors ($9.90) that I didn't have already in my stash, a pack of plastic bobbins w/ a metal ring ($1.99) for the, and a wrist pincushion ($2.40) after coupons and sale items I spent about $14.29 
Found a new TV show to watch called 'Forever' that on ABC.  Seems like it's going to be an interesting show.  Also, found out that Season 9 of 'Bones' is on Netflix so I'm watching it to keep up before I start watching Season 10 which aired this week. 

 Making good progress on the Reindeer - who I'm calling 'Dasher'. Dasher's blue scarf is almost done and I have the outline of his hand done.

Hopefully I can finish him up soon and move on to the rest of the presents in the middle before I work on the snowy bottom of the stocking.

Well until next time, happy stitching everyone! ^_^

    I'll have to keep an eye out for Forever, I haven't heard of it. But then I don't really get into new show watching mode until Supernatural starts. I have PVR'd Gotham though.
    Dasher looks adorable.

    As the other two already said, you're making more progress than you keep saying, I'm sure you can keep your deadline! Have fun stitching and watching Bones ^_^

Adventures in the Kitchen and other Fun Surprises!

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
