Another ornament

Well, I finished stitching on the Christmyth Phoenix.  I think it stands out real well on the dark blue evenweave but you can't really see the  backstitching.

She's so cute when she's sleeping but not when she's crying at 3:30 am and 4:30 am and 5:30 am....

Finally Framed

Got a $1.50 frame at Wal-Mart.  Decided not to use the glass.  Now, I just have to send it to my Mom.

Christmyth Finish

Finished it today!  Still need to turn it into a pillow at some point.

Change of Pace

Today, I decided to do a Christmyth ornament instead of working on the stocking.  It's the fairy.

It's got a bit of Krenik in it.  I probably can get it finished tomorrow assuming the babies let me stitch.

I've slowly made progress on the stocking.  The first page is basically done.

Shelf Porn! (okay, it's really just a shot of my bookshelves)

We've been talking about books a bit in my Counted Cross Stitch Group.  This was the bookshelves pre-marriage (aka, 2 years ago when I lived alone in a one bedroom apartment in Wisconsin).

Me as Tonks:

Yeah, I had really, really short hair then. 

Progress

I got some stitching in today.

Updates and Things

The beginning of this week has been busy.  Monday was try to get aid for the family day so the four of us went to Lewisville to do that.  Hoping that it turns out good since I really need help with rent this month (disability does not pay enough to make rent).  Tuesday was doctor's appointments for both girls.  Adèle has gained weight (exciting!) but Zoé had to get 6 shots.  She was crying so hard my husband said he wanted to punch the nurse.  She got a stuffed Pluto and some chocolate pudding out of the deal. 

 

The last day I did some stitching, I ended up using Adèle as a stand for my cross stitch pattern.  Things are going well on the stocking, albeit slowly.  I am about 1/3 completed roughly.  The houses are the most complicated part and the rest of it has a lot of areas of the same color.  The half crosses make everything go a lot faster and have a great shading effect.
