SFS - June '15

So.....I know I am WAY late reporting this, and so it won't qualify for the SFS report but I figured I'd would post it anyway.

Budget: $85.10
Earned: $0
Spent: - $20.20
Remaining: $64.90

Now since this doesn't carry over to the next SFS it doesn't really matter much.

So $7 of that went towards a Mill Hill bead ornament kit that I found at my new LNS :)





So, what did I buy for $13.20? Well there was a garage sale going on locally because of a liquidation sale of an old quilting store. Sadly the owner had passed and the family was getting rid of her store stash. They had floss, aida, fabric, kits, completed quilts and half completed quilts that had been used to display patterns.





Pre-sorted
Sorted

They had floss in bags (25 skeins for $1) or individual floss in a bin that you dug through. Thomas and I started digging through the bin to find colors that I needed but after having little success at that, I decided to just take my chance with the bags and ended up buying 8 bags (about 200 skeins of floss)

I also got a project carry case that came with a small pair of scissors and a metallic board to hold patterns with magnetic project cards & magnifying readers for the pattern.



And I got 2 things of ribbed cross-stitching border that I'll use for bookmarks eventually.









As for what I finished, I finished stitching up Glaceon except for the small parts I still need to fix.
I also finished day 3 - French Hens
 And day 4 - Calling Birds


Still behind but having finished 2 days in 1 month, I think I'll be able to catch up soon. :)

Thomas and I also went to the local Renaissance Fair and met up with some of my friends from HS. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad we went.


It was a lot of fun and they had a Cat Show that was really fun to see. The white tiger shown above is still young, I think he said she was about a year old. Almost seemed like she was posing for pictures there. :) My friend Tassi took the picture of the tiger and we had a gate employee take the group picture.

Until next time, happy stitching everyone! ^_^

    Super excited you were able to get all of that floss and stuff for cheap! That is one of those golden opportunities that should never be passed up :D A little jelly about your 12 days as mine is languishing at Day 2 :(

    But HURRAH for the Ren Fair!

      Yea, thinking I should have gotten some more but meh. I got at least SOME new colors and some of those new colors I now have more than one skein of. But I really like the 3 variegated floss and the light effects floss that I got in them as well.

      You'll get back to your 12 days eventually! ^_^ And yes, HUZZAH for Ren Fair! :D

      Doesn't lead to much stitching but it is fun to get out and about and do things. These MH kits are adorable! ^_^

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...

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 ...

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...
