iStitch SAL Part 5

Just a quick drive by posting of the iStitch Mysteral SAL Part 5 completed!

Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary

To my beautiful daughter and wonderful son in law!

SAL Progress - iStitch & Oakhaven

Here's just a quick update on two SAL's that I'm doing.  The first is part 4 of the iStitch Mystery SAL.  I've just sent my picture to Carolyn and am awaiting Part 5.  I think this will be really pretty when it's done.

And here is the very little bit I've completed of the Oakhaven Owl SAL.  As you can see I've only completed January and February.  I did, however, start March on Wednesday night and will hopefully complete that over the next week.

Well, that's it for now.  I plan to work on Part 5 this weekend, along with a small piece by LHN that I'm doing as a 1st Anniversary gift for my daughter and her hubby.  Their anniversary is Sunday and I'm hoping to have it complete by then.

iStitch SAL Part 3

Here's a quick posting of Part 3. I'm going to wait to stitch the borders and the rest of the lines until I finish all the motifs, because I'd like the thread to flow around it seamlessly. I also decided to add a few other pops of color, rather than using just the one floss. I like the way it looks. What do you think? Now I'm off to email my photo to Carol to get Part 4.

iSitch Part 2 SAL Done!

Here's Part 2 of the iStitch SAL completed.  I just got Part 3 in an email, but my black ink is out, so I can't print it out, bummer!  I may end up sitting in front of the computer later today and just stitching it from the screen, since it's such a small portion to do.  We'll see if I have time.

I've got to wash and hang the whites today, pick apart a chicken and make stock and some chicken noodle soup.  I'm also doing baking for my boys lunches this week and am making Snickerdoodle Muffins and Banana Buttermilk Muffins also.  These were both new recipes I tried last weekend and everyone just loved them both and devoured them in no time, so today I'm going to make double batches of both.

So I leave you with a picture of my SAL wip.

A Video to Honor ALL

This is a video of a song written and sung by Steve Hollis that he made to honor our Veterans for Veterans Day.  Steve is the son of the Pastor of my "home" church that I attended and was a member of from childhood until I moved away from my hometown of Freeport, IL back in 2003.  I met Steve when I was in 3rd grade when his parents came to pastor our church and I believe he was in Kindergaten, as I think he's about 4 years younger than I am.  He is a wonderful man and has a beautiful voice.

Please enjoy this video today as we remember and honor ALL who were affected on this day 10 years ago.

We Remember You
