SFS - Jan '15

Well, this is my first SFS post for the year. Between all the holiday activities, house hunting, moving and unpacking it has been a very busy year so far.

Month: January
Spent: $0
Earned: 1 (small) finish 46 x 48 stitches - $4  

I have done a lot of stitching this month. Not on R&J, except for a few back-stitching on parts of the balcony, but on one of the free Christmas pattern/its from DMC that I got from my parents
and on Joan Elliot's "Twelve Days of Christmas" kit from Design Works.


1st finish of the year!

Progress 1-27

My goal for "12 Days" is to finish at least 1 'day'/month. I want to have it stitched and ready to frame before Christmas of this year so we shall see how it goes. It took almost all day just to do the 2 out of the 3 green colors in the tree! There were lots of random spots for the green and medium green with the light green being a quick stitch just because there wasn't much of it.

Carla is also working on a "12 Days of Christmas" stitch, but her's from Teresa Wentzler. It's been fun to see how her's has progressed as she just finished her, day 1 and I'm going to try to have mine finished before the end of the month.

Until next time everyone, happy stitching! ^_^

      Finger's crossed. ^_^ I think between the two of us we can motivate each other to work on our own respective '12 days'

      I'm sure if you ask nicely Nancy will send you the pattern when she finishes it. ^_^

      And yeah, bust of stitching seems to be my thing right now and they tend to be all day events. haha

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

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
