Slow Week for me....

It's been a slow stitching week for me. I just couldn't seem to get alot done, either I've dealt with a migraine or the kids or something.....just seems to cut into my stitching time. I did receive a great little exchange in my mailbox early in the week! We had a bookmark exchange in my group (KraftersKorner) and I received this wonderful little bookmark from Margaret. It will be used often since I'm an avid reader.

I've decided to add one more piece into my "monthly" rotation...the lizzie kate "Living With Charm" double flips. I was able to get the first word done, but I haven't put the charm on yet. I'll do all of them last. I also haven't done too much on the border yet, I want to wait and see exactly how the words all fit before I get too far. The plan is to have this done by December and at one word a month, I think I can do it. LOL! I'm also using just regular DMC floss for this...the "special" flossies are so pretty, but way out of my budget at the moment. I think it'll look just as nice with the DMC though.
Next is a gift for mom for her birthday in July. There's not much progress to show yet since I just started it last night and haven't had a chance to do much with it yet today. It's called "Mooses Do Roam" from Designs by Lisa. Mom is a moose collector so I'm sure she'll love it. I'm having a heck of a time getting used to stitching on the 14ct fiddlers! I went with the fiddlers to make it more of a 'rustic' look, but sheesh I am not used to aida anymore! I feel like I'm a beginer stitcher! LOL

Anyway, thats it for my slow stitchy week. I have lots and lots of UFO's I need to pull out. Wednesday's are suppose to be my UFO day, but I wasn't able to do anything this week. Hopefully my next update will show some kind of UFO stitching.
I'd also like to offer an invite to anyone that is interested in joining KraftersKorner. There should be a button on my sidebar somewhere..... Hugs to all & happy stitching!
