The weather this past week has been absolutely gorgeous. Temps in the mid to upper 80's and leaves changing colors. The landscape has been stunning!
STITCHY STUFF
After working 52 hours last week between both jobs, I didn't get much stitching done. Here's my progress on TMQ:
The "peanut gallery" at ILCS prodded me into getting out JG and working on it. After 1 3/4 hours, the only progress I made is the arched branches above the 12 o'clock rock garden.
GIVEAWAY
Alyssa at My Stitching Corner is hosting a Halloween giveaway. Go check out the cute chart she stitched up.
Progress is progress Meari! Some is better than none! The weather has been beautiful! I hope it continues for a good long while yet!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see the JG back dear!! I think from the time i have been looking at your blog, this is the first time i see you have worked on it!! Wishing you happy happy stitchy time with JG
ReplyDeleteSome progress is better than no progress at all. Keep it up, and you'll be done b-4 you know it.
ReplyDeleteSorry you had a bad day at work. Tomorrow is another day!
Hi Meari,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are making some progress even with your busy work schedule. Both pieces are beautiful.
Meari, it sounds like your jobs are really stressful! I hope the couple of hours of stitching brought you some relaxation. Your projects are looking really nice!
ReplyDeleteWow, two jobs and that number of hours a week! It is a wonder you can walk at the end of the day let alone stitch.
ReplyDeleteBut, oh, what beautiful pieces you are stitching. Nice work.
Yeah, Meari! Almost 2 hours on JG -- that's terrific! Sorry about the trouble you had at both jobs today. Could the problem with the DD be the holiday today?

Sorry about work Meari! I remember those kind of days.......hmmmm.....just memories now...lol.....One day you will be able to say the same.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your pieces are looking fabulous!
I hope you get more stitching time this week, Meari! I hope you are paid by the hour for your jobs?
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are coming along nicely--it always amazes me just how little is achieved in 2 hours some times. That is what makes our stitching such a labor of love...
Your stitching is beautiful. I especially like the Asian themed one.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here has been nice as well, but back to fall now here, which is ok too. I know how you feel most days I would rather just sit and stitch and do nothing else, but getting some time in is better than nothing as well.
ReplyDeleteYeah JG got some air.....I think it was choking being packed away!!! It's 2 hours well spent! I do the auto debit stuff at work and sometimes I'm at the final step and it doesn't go through...so frustrating!!!
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy reading your blog, Meari! I love doing payroll (yes, I know I'm crazy), but your payroll issues would have driven me to tears.
ReplyDeleteGood thing we have stitching for distracting us!

So glad to see Japanese Garden out!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll keep going on it. :)
Nice progress stitching with work & School. Good for you.

Wow, some week you seem to have had!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being able to work on both the pictures :) Some stitching's definitely better than no stitching
Nice stitching! And how did you find some time to do it?
ReplyDeleteJG is so pretty; so is TMQ - even a little stitching is progress! Hope this weather continues - we've been fairly hot, but it's going back down this week.
ReplyDeleteLovely progress on both pieces. Yes, the weather has been gorgeous. Not as warm as where you are thank goodness but perfect fall weather. :) Rain is expected tomorrow but should be gone by the weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful progress, JG is looking very good. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on both those pieces.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad we are finally getting cool Fall weather.
JG is going to be so pretty when it's finished! I am so behind on reading blogs. Yours is one that I really miss reading. I read down through the 10/4 post. I'm hoping to find time to read more soon. I also have the Jammer cases for my DMC. Mine didn't fit all in one either and I only had 1 of each in there. I love how you stored your Kreinik! I don't have as many as you but might steal that idea. :) Since Jerry doesn't hunt he'll be wondering why I'm buying a shell case. :) Btw, this is where I got the wedding piece I stitched. http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/itemdetail.pl?item=K023-0582 It's a kit. I used the floss in it (Going by the numbers, I think it's DMC) but swapped out the fabric. The fabric would have never been close to big enough for the frame I used. Have a good weekend! I'm glad it cooled off cause it was too hot for painting last week. :p
ReplyDeleteDon't tire yourself out too much at work. I can't imagine having 2 jobs but make sure you take care of yourself and Celeste too.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching looks fabulous! Remember, every stitch counts...
