Praying Hands and a cut

Got a little more in on Praying Hands over the weekend. Slow progress, but steady.


I am more or less forcing myself to stitch at this point. Not because I don't want to, but because I need to spend more time on other things besides Facebook and the internet, lol! And I have soooo many projects started on the stitchy front that it's a bit overwhelming. Plus, when I pop by your blogs and see all the lovelies, I want to start more. Nope, not gonna do it, not gonna start anything else until I get 1 piece completed in my WIPs pile (Praying Hands not included).



I had one of my colleagues take this on my cell phone at work today. Yes, I got the mop chopped! I now need a hair dryer, LOL. ;)  I got tired of my old one popping the circuit breaker 7 years ago when I first moved to Florida so I tossed it. Got lots of compliments today at work! An ego booster for sure. I had a good laugh at the salon yesterday when the stylist made the first cut. The poor gal next to me about had heart failure, lol. She said "Oh my God! She cut her hair off!!". All I could do was laugh, and laugh so hard the stylist had to stop for a minute. Sure wish I had my camera out to record the reaction.

Praying Hands is looking great. It can be hard to pull yourself away from the Internet to stitch. I try to remind myself that if I stitch or knit or write, I will have something to show for my work. But if I spent time on Facebook or Ravelry, I really won't. :/ Still, I spent too much time on the Internet.

Your hair looks wonderful! I couldn't imagine cutting mine all off. You are so brave. :)

It's My Turn!!!

Edited Date to keep on top! Well, I have completed my list of what I want to stitch from my books and magazines and found that there are four (4) magazines that I have no reason to keep. So, for my very first ever giveaway, I am offering to you, my readers, a chance to win one of these fine magazines: The World of Cross Stitching (Jan 2005 - also includes a pullout Giant Mr. Men chart of the Alphabet), Cross Stitch Crazy (Feb 2005), Sampler & Antique Needlework (Spring 2009), and JCS (Mar/Apr 2009 - a duplicate that I received after purchasing a copy in the store). I have included pics of the covers of each of these magazines. I also have a progress update on Quaker Medallion . I am nearly finished with the stitching, should be done tonight, and will decide how to finish (i.e. frame, ornie, etc) it over the weekend. Here is a pic: I bet you're wondering how to enter this giveaway! Well, here are the simple steps to take for a chance to win: Post a comment here letting me k

Memorial Day~~~Giveaway

Image
 Well, I promised another giveaway, something of the patriotic sort, and decided that Memorial Day would be the date! Now for the giveaway part: it will be a SURPRISE!!!  :D To start things off, I want to pay tribute to the veterans and currently serving members of our Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force (formerly Army Air Corps), Marines, and Coast Guard. Yes, the Coast Guard is part of our defense system and even served during WWII in an active capacity. I visited one such ship in Key West last summer. ***** What is a Vet? Some Veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a Vet just by looking. What
