Recieved Goodies Today.

Today I got my threads and what not that I ordered from Everything Cross Stitch. Looking at the fabric I am kinda intimidated because I have never worked with anything this small before. Most of my kits are 14-18 count and these Faeries are done on 28 count so that is really small and kinda intimidating.
My husband has suggested to get something that magnifies so I guess we will see what happens. Sorry that my message is short today but I am exhausted today and can't think straight. Hopefully the next one will be better.

Saddness

I was so looking forward to participating in this months Stitch a Long, that I got to work and ordered my stuff early. I had about half the color's already but no fabric and I needed the beads as well so I went ahead and ordered it all at once. I ordered it all from Everything Cross Stitch and it came back to bite me on the bottom. The didn't have the fabric or the beads and had to get them from suppliers so I won't get them till next month. So the sal will be over by then and we will be moving on to something else. Sigh, I guess this comes of not having a stash myself. I have a very small stash, but no where enough color's to do a whole project out of one of the many books that I have.
Oh well I guess I will work on UFO's this month too and see if I can get some of them done. I'm hoping too but we will see. I'm kinda depressed though so I think I will go back to bed for a time and see if I can't turn this day around with a short nap.

Exausted today.

I really don't think I got enough sleep, I'm so tired today. I worked out hard yesterday and I think that's set me down on my ear. I know I got to keep it up but its very hard to do when your this tired. I have been doing a bit if stitching and I got a new project and started it 3 nights ago because its hard to do Fredrick in the dark. My craft light died and I wanted to stitch but couldn't see the fabric because I had mediocer lighting and black fabric so I started curiosity. Its a lovely piece and all the color's are straight forward so no mixing and matching and (thank the gods) no metalic' I don't like metalic thread. Its so hard to work with.

I need to get some photo's up on Stitchers Heaven and on here but I haven't gotten off my sore butt and taken any lately. I guess I'm really slacking. I think I need a new audio book, if I had a new book then I could listen to it and do some major stitching and that would get me motivated to put pictures up. I just feel so blah today though and so tired. I may go back to bed here in a bit and get up later, sigh.

I got the colors and fabric for my fall piece for Stitchers Heaven. I'm going to stitch the Autumn Faerie, from Teresa Wentzler's 'Four Seasons Faeries.' She is lovely and as soon as I get off my butt and take some pictures I will get them up here. I think I'm going to stitch all four and hang them throughout the house. That would be lovely. I chose her for the Fall Season Sal in the group and I am rather excited to be stitching her. Usually I do kits because in a one bedroom apartment they are more convenient, but I couldn't find any kits that I really wanted to do. It should be fun anyway.

I was rather annoyed that I started a series of audio books by Nora Roberts called the Sign of Seven, and low and behold the third book comes out the end of November, sigh. They were really good with magic and demons' in them, very exciting and just enough steamy romance to keep me hooked. I don't usually go into the romance books but sometimes she has some really good ones. Her newest release called Tribute was actually very good and had quite a bit of mystery undertones for her so I was hooked on that one too. But I hate waiting for author's to release books, it makes it very hard to sit on ones hands and wait. I was the same with a lot of my fantasy authors' until I got swamped and then I never got caught up. I guess I will have to fix that.

The library here is awesome and it has an audio books section that you can access online. and download to your mp3 player so I have been having a blast. I started another series at the second to last book without realizing it. Now I have downloaded the book and am not sure I want to finish the series since I haven't read the first 4, sigh. I also downloaded a fantasy book that I have never heard of or the author before and am wanting to check them out. It sounded rather good but who knows.

I need to figure out how to put music on my blog like Jean does hehe, her site rocks. Oh well I guess I will play with it when I post next time. I'm having a hard time getting up enough energy for anything today. I think I may end here and go back to bed for a while and then I will see how I feel when I wake up again.

Thanks for the ear to pour my chatter into. Until next time.

Hugs and Brightest Blessings
