Losing Steam

I am losing steam and momentum on LK's Time For God.  I don't know what it is, but for now it's going to go in my pretty Vera Bradley bag and take a stitchy nap.  I am going to start something small tonight, I think. 

And taking a page from Spinster Stitcher, it seems that as of late I have ants in my pants when it comes to my stitching, yet again.  I am still playing with the scrapbook idea, as I thought it was just so fantastic.  What I am thinking now is taking the new LK Halloween Rules and stitching them all separately, without the top border and scrapbooking them.  And also taking the different LK ABC kits and stitching each letter separately and scrapbooking them together.  Or just maybe I am finally losing my mind!  LOL.

I received my latest JCS magazine issue in today's mail.  So glad, as it has two great charts, one from Country Cottage Needleworks and Blue Ribbon Designs!  And I also received a new desk calendar called The Daily Bitch.  It is just so totally me.

My favorite entry so far is:  I only have a kitchen because it came with the house.  Bwahahahahahaha. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!  And stay tuned for new stitchy WIP's!!!

In peace, love, and stitches,
Danielle

The Letter J

I finished the letter J this morning.  I was very curious as to what fabric came in this kit, so I e-mailed Lizzie Kate, as it was not listed on the pattern.  I received a reply back within an hour or so, which is amazing, and 28 count Cashel was used in "various neutral colors."  I am guessing I have Light Mocha.  It is hard for me to tell.


I also purchased Sew Golden from iStitch this morning.  My plan is to stitch it with Crescent Colours Finley Gold on 28 count Ruby Cashel.  That should be a nice contrast, don't you think?  My favorite piece of this pattern is the large crown in the middle.  I am thinking I will change the "2010" in the pattern to 2011, as I am sure I will not finish this pattern by the end of this year.

I received the newest JCS magazine in today's mail!  Yay!  I can't wait to read it. 

I wish everyone a Happy Wednesday :)

In peace, love, and stitches,
