Fatman Tuesday

Well my gastric issues resolved themselves. Thank goodness...and thank you all for your well wishes.  I really don't like feeling/being sick...not that anyone does of course, but I have a hard time just "resting"  I always feel like I have to be doing something. I think that's why I stitch...because I cannot just sit and watch tv..it's usually stitching or even reading..but I can't just sit.  So when I am unwell it's even worse for me.  But I survived and I made it to work the next day and I even managed to stitch a bit on the fatmen...not as much as I would have liked but I did.  And here's a pic of the progress that I've made this week on it.

Also on Monday..which I failed to mention in my last post..I received a package from Becky on her latest giveaway...Mouline Rouge by Long Dog Samplers..this is just lovely!  And I am going to love stitching it!  Thank you again Becky!!

Suzannah, Sergei & a prize

Didn't get as much time to stitch yesterday or even last week for that matter.  Had lots of time to sit and stitch this weekend, but when I sat down to do so it was more of a vegetative state and playing in the computer.  It's so nice to have a new laptop where I don't even really have to get up to do anything anymore.  I have it on the table next to my stitching chair and that's pretty much what I did.  Surfed and shopped.  Bought some fabric...made wishlists at various online shops that I'm pretty sure I will going back to in the next little while and making good on all my wishes. Just didn't have much of a mojo. 

I did manage though to almost get the skirt done on Suzannah.  Still have the thinner lines to fill in and then that will be done and it will be on to other parts.  That skirt is a chore!  But it'll all good.

Sergei got some more work on him done too.  But again...not as much as I would have liked too.  I'll be working on him more this week...and hopefully be close to a finish by the next time I post.

I received my giveaway prize from Carol today in the mail. Canada Post and the US Postal Service worked well together because it didn't take long at all for me to get the package.  I snagged the picture off of Carol's site so that you can see what I got.  I know you're all jealous!  and those Raspberry Cremes!!!!!!  Don't even ask!!!  They are yummmmmyyyyyy and I don't think that they are going to last the night...let me tell you!  :)

Going to take a shower now, have a little dinner and then I'm settling in with my fatman!  :) 

April Ort Report

Just some quick pics I wanted to post.  Busy this weekend doing yardwork, and then tomorrow is my Great-nephew's 1st birthday, so there's a party to attend.  Lots to do when it's all springy outside!  I love it!  Although, my eyes are itchy, my nose is runny and my throat is scratchy!  Other than that.....LOL

First of all is my Ort jar for that has my April offerings added to it. I love the fresh colours of my Easter stitching on that one.  Plus lots of the muted tones from Suzannah :)

Second...Back in February I was drawn by Heart in Hand for a prize package, for being a Facebook fan. I was so excited!  And these are the prizes pictured here.  I can hardly wait to do some Valentine stitching!!!  I'm going to have to have a project basket out on one of my tables and just have season things out on it.  Like Carol at Stitching Dreams has her Monthly displays I may have to steal her idea :)  I love Carol and her blog!  If you haven't already, please go check out her beautiful stitching, and her lovely stories :)  Oh...and spy the wonderful draw that I won last week too.  :)  Hugs to you Carol!

And last but not at all least......My Lulu....I saw her sleeping there and I couldn't resist....could you??
