I got Nora Corbett's Geranium Pixie. I love her colors. I want to get her fabric soon but I might wait into April or do her on a white.<br />
<br />
I have to get a business suit for interviews. I am now looking for part time job. I need to look the part. My class is doing Mock Interviews in ten weeks. The Career Director, who oversees all the career centers on all campuses, will be doing the interview. The teacher wants us to have the full experience of being interview. So nervous thinking about it now but it will be a good experience.<br />

I have been stitching on my SAL, Fleurs de Ciel. I am still on page 1. I know I will finish page 1 this weekend, but I do not think I will be done with page 2 by March 10. I am hoping I can still get the next pages. I will send her a message next week. <br />
<br />
I am so happy March will be here in a couple days. I am so tired of the cold. One morning, last week, it was a -5 degrees! Without the wind chill! When it hits the 40s and 50s, it is going feel so nice! I can not wait! But we do have some more of that white stuff on Sunday into Monday morning. I hope I can go to school still. <br />
<br />
I hope everyone enjoys the next couple weeks. I will try to put up another update on my Fleurs when I get to page 2. Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog. <br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

I did not start 31 projects for Debbie's Ultimate Crazy Challenge but I did come close with 26 new starts. I am not sure how I missed 5, but I do know when I do this next year, I will be a bit more organized. Now my job is to get some finishes. Here are the last 5 new starts:<br />

I have been stitching on Angie's SAL. Fleurs de Ciel. I am almost done with the second flower. I hope to have it done tonight and maybe start on the third one. I need to have Part one done by March 10. So Fleurs will be my main focus until I get the part done. <br />
<br />
I do not have a progress on my YOTA SAL. YOTA is being hosted by<a href="http://pulltheotherthread.blogspot.com/p/yota-year-of-acronyms.html"> Pulled the Other Thread</a>. I read on one of the other blogs that the stitcher stitches on her piece for 30 minutes a day. I will try to do that myself, because it is a good idea and I do want to get some of my UFOs done. Hopefully I will have a progress report on March 7.<br />
<br />
It has been snowing so badly here in my world! The last 2 Mondays, my classes have been cancelled due to these snowstorms. First was a blizzard and the govern put a travel ban on Connecticut highways. The second storm gave us another 10 inches. Tonight we are getting another storm and it won't be stopping until late Monday night. They are predicting another 10 inches with this storm. I may have tomorrow off too but I won't find out until 5:30 in the morning. I know I will have to make up the days soon and they will be on a Friday or Saturday. My teacher thinks most likely on a Saturday. School on a Saturday! Boy, that will be so weird! Here is some pictures of the lovely white stuff. <br />

I felt like Fred Flintstone last night. I was house and dog sitting for my sister this weekend. I had went to check the mail. She has a closed porch so I closed the door behind me. I was being cautious because I didn't want the dog run out the front door but I didn't pay attention to the lock. Imagine my surprise when I found out I was locked out. I knew I locked the back door because it was dark. I had no choice but go next door to ask for help with no shoes or jacket. I walked next door in slush and puddles in my socks. The neighbors got their son to come and he went through the kitchen window. The whole thing last about 45 minutes. The poor dog was scared because I disappeared and hid on under the bed. Poor puppy! Next time I will pay attention to the lock.<br />

Here is my new starts for Debbie's Ultimate Crazy January Challenge.<br />

I survived my first set of final exams. Two more sets of finals (terms) and I graduate. I passed and did alright. One exam I aced but I do not know my score yet. I did get a 87 on my Anatomy exam and my final grade is 94. I got an A in First Aid and CPR, plus I am certified for CPR now too. Monday starts the new term. I am looking forward to a fresh start.<br />
<br />
I did not stitch every day this past week because I was studying for the exams. I did catch up on my new starts for Debbie's Ultimately Crazy Stitching Challenge on yesterday. The following pictures are 7 new starts. <br />

Me on January 16, 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I went to the see the nurse from the surgeon's office. I celebrated my first surgery anniversary. I had lost 70 pounds this past year. I am very proud in what I had accomplished. My life changed so much this past year and all for the better. I have more energy and I do not mind going for walks or doing chores. I like doing them now because I do not get so tired very quickly. I can do stuff. I love to go walking and I will continue to do so when the weather is a little warmer. I know I could have done better. I can make a whole bunch of excuses but in the end, it was me who made those wrong choices. I am being hard on my self and have been told that many times, but I am the only one I answered too. I am the one that I have to take of so I can live a long life. Before my surgery, I was heading to an early death. Now, there is big chance I can live a longer life and do more traveling and exploring this world I want to do. I need to loose more weight to enjoy these activities. I won't loose the weight if I continue to make the wrong choices. I would never regret having this surgery because I am living a life now and before I wasn't and for that I will always be grateful. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I will be back next week with more starts. </div>

The first week came and went and I did stitch every day so far! It is amazing I was able to do that. I had a head cold this past week too. I went to my doctor ( I was due for a visit in a week anyways) and he gave me some antibiotic and I am feeling so much better. I did miss a day of classes. When I got back, we had a test. I did not do so well, but since it was my first low grade, it didn't affect my average grade by much. I still have an A in the course. :)<br />
<br />
I showed you my first two projects last week. Here is the ones I had started this week except for todays (Jan 10). I haven't stitch yet today. <br />

Day 8 I started on Ink Circles Reflections of Paris. Definitely a different style for me stitching but I so like it <br />

Day 9 I started on Mirabilia Elizabeth. I hope I can come back to her soon. I love the fabric I am stitching her on. The picture makes the colors very grayish but in person, it is a light purple with a hint of pink, blue and green. It is gorgeous.<br />
<br />
Since it is the 10th of January, it is time for a YOTA report. I do not have a pictures but I will be working on Lizzie Kate's ABC Lessons, ( a picture is in the last post) and I want to work on LHN Pumpkin Hollow. I will have pictures by next month, I promise.<br />
<br />
This week I have a test on muscles and my oral presentation on Monday. On Wednesday and Thursdays is Final Exams. Friday I go see my surgeon for my one year anniversary for my surgery. One way I am looking forward to it but I know what I been doing the last 6 months and not looking forward to the appointment at the same time. Maybe it wont be as bad as I think it will be. I have the weekend off from schoolwork. Yes! <br />
<br />
I will be back next weekend. Have a great week!<br />

Hello 2015! I have been missing in action for a few months in blogger land. I have been busy with school. Yes, I am going to school and being trained to work in a doctor's or hospital office. I am liking the classes but a lot of work. I am keeping up and my grades are high. The only thing is my stitching is suffering big time. 2014 was a year of change for me. I had my gastric sleeve surgery in January 2014 and my life changed so much! <br />
<br />
I had signed up for ‎Debbie's Ultimate Crazy January Challenge 2015 (DUCJC2015 on Facebook. I did not make a list. I have so much stash I want to do, I am just taking a pattern or an WIP or UFO a day from my stash and working on it. I hope I can do it. With schoolwork and final exams coming in a couple weeks, my stitching will be very minimal, until Jan 16. The idea is to stitch on something different every day in January, whether it will be a new pattern or a wip or ufo. <br />
<br />
I joined Mel's Stitching from Stash again. I was doing good on it the first 6 months or so last year and then I went berserk and went off the budget. I am back on it and with school, it should be easier. My mind will be on school until I graduate in July. However, I did spend this month but less than $10. <br />
<br />

I joined Angie's SAL for $5.00. Since I joined today (Jan 2), the price will be coming out of my budget. However I do have a piece big enough to start it on Jan 10. It is very pretty. I am going to try my best to get part 1 done in 2 months. Even if I have to bring it to school and work on it on my lunch. A few stitches here and there will bring it closer to the finish. <br />
<br />
I joined the YOTA SAL too from Pull the Other Thread. You work on a UFO and mention it on the first Saturday of the month, except for this month, it is on the 10th. So I will be back on next week. I do have a few UFOs I want to work on, and I am sure I will find one before Saturday to work on one. <br />
<br />
For Day 1 on DUCJC2015, I worked on Nora Corbett's Azure. Last month I got her partner, Verde and the matching fabric. Still waiting for the fabric but it will be here shortly. I worked on Azure's arms and will be going back and finish her this year. <br />

On Day 2, I worked on Lizzie Kate's ABCs Lessons. I am going to finish this one this year too. It has been an UFO far too long. I finish stitching the last line and some letters. Today I am starting something new which I will post by the end of the week.<br />

On the week before Christmas, I got the most wonderful gift from a Secret Santa. I saw this being sold on Facebook and asked the seller I will buy the kit after the New Year if no one buys it. I was so surprised when I opened the envelope. Shelley from California send it to me as a surprise. I will be starting it this month. Thank you so much Shelley! It will have a special place on my wall. <br />

My father turned 70 on December 17, as well as his twin sister. We threw a party for them and tried to surprised them. My aunt's ex found out about it and told her about the party. And than he had the galled to asked for an invitation! She knew about the party for a couple weeks but didn't tell my Dad. He knew something was up but couldn't figure it out. This picture above is the family with my Mom's best friend, Marie. Starting at left, me, Dad, Marie, Amy, DJ and Dawne.<br />
<br />
Thank you for visiting me and I am sorry for the long absence. I will try to post more after January. I will be my January Stitching at least once a week, and maybe more if I find time in the week. <br />
<br />
Until next week my friends,<br />

Yes I am happy with the purchase. I know I will it stitch some day. It cost $36 but to win one under $40 is rare. I didn't expect to win it either.<br />
I have nothing new to show. I have been stitching a model for Victorian Motto Sampler and had been my main priority these last few weeks. If I am not stitching the model, then its for a couple exchanges I have to complete. Good news is some of my stash is going, but I have been posting them on Facebook right now. I had deleted my Stash for Sale pages temporary. I will put them back up when things settle down. <br />
I will be back after my model is done, or when I have a couple pictures to show. <br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />

It is time for the April report, since it is due on the 28th and I waited last minute again. <span style="font-size: large;">I went over my budget this month. I spent $31.95, however $6.95 comes from my carry over budget. I did not break the bank but I know I could do better. I got a pattern from Stoney Creek, a series I am collecting, and a piece fabric from Silkweavers. I won an auction from Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie. That one caught me by surprise, because I usually do not win, lol!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I did not stitch on my April Calender girl yet. The package came in with my birthday packages, and I didn't notice it had arrived until a couple days before my birthday. I even send a note to my shop owner and to my embarrassment, I had it all this time. I had started on CCN Snowmen Trio. I want to get it done this weekend, but I think I had twisted my knee. It has been sore all weekend and walking on it has been torture at times. I don't think the doctor be able do anything except tell me to stay off my leg. I decided to update my blog and finish the snowmen tomorrow, then to April girl.</span></div>

I have been in a sunflower mood lately. I so desperately want summer to come. My aunt's birthday was this past Sunday. I know she loves sunflowers too. I stitched her Country Cottage Sunflower Sampler. I had framed it but I forgot to take the picture with the frame. I will take a picture on Easter Sunday, when I visit with her. This pattern is for sell on page 3 of Stash for Sale tab.<br />

I am selling my stash, mainly because I have a feeling I won't be stitching these patterns and I will be moving in a year or two. As I was going through some ( just some), I came across of another Sunflower pattern but from LHN. See, I have a theme for this post. I kitted up Little Miss Sunflower and started on her. This is the picture from last week: </div>

Still got quite a bit to go but I have a chance to stitch a lot this week. Maybe it will be almost done by next week. On Sunday, I had a Pampered Chef party by Skype. It was the first time my consultant did the Skype party and I found out later, it was her first live show. All her parties have been online. She did a great job! We had a lot of fun and I made a birthday cake for my aunt. Next time I will take pictures. I am still taking orders for my party. </div>

Here is a picture of me, 3 months after my surgery. For some reason I thought 4 months had gone by but it is just 3. This was taken on April 9th,. I have lost 49 pounds which is a lot. I have been walking a lot more and I even went into a fitting room in Walmart to try on a top. I haven't been able to do that in years!!! I had my jeans on yesterday. I took the belt off, and the jeans fell right to my ankles. I need a new pair! </div>

I did really good on mt spending this month. I only spend $4 for a pattern from Stoney Creek. I had forgot to grab last month's freebie and since I am in the middle collecting the series, I grabbed February's pattern with March. <br />
<br />
Now on to the stitching progress. I have 2 small finishes I can not show yet. I do have 2 other finishes and a mini finish to show. <br />

I received this lovely pinkeep from Shari. The exchange was during the Olympics, to stitch a pattern of your choice but to add a metallic touch in gold, silver or bronze. She included a beautiful notecard. Shari did a great job Thank you Shari!<br />

I am just making the deadline for this month's report. I had want to finish my Calender girl before reporting. First, on the spending. I brought LHN Little Moss Sunflower, CCN Snowmen Trio and Nora Corbett Letter E for $15.60. Letter E is for a gift, but not sure when I am stitching it, so I counted it against my budget. It was only $4. <br />
<br />
For my working in progress projects, I stitched on Azure and Autumn Encounter.<br />
<br />
<br />

In Autumn Encounter, I stitched the first 2 columns on page 2. I will be stitching more on this next week. I want to do the next 2 columns at least.<br />
<br />

Azure finally hit a slow stitching period. I am doing the skin over 1. I forgot how slow it is, because I am doing 4 stitches for one square. I am hoping to finish the skin this coming month.<br />
<br />
I do have 2 finishes for this month. I can't show one of them because it is an exchange and will be on to its new home shortly. The one I did finish was the LHN February Calender Girl.<br />

I am loving this series. I saw March Girl and she is very pretty. I can't wait to get her. I hope my enthusiasm continues through out the year. I still have not decided how I am going finish the series. Right now I am stitching them individually. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I did not stitch on my LizzieKate ABC Lessons this month. Hopefully I will get to it next month. That is my report for February.</div>

I finish the tail and fin on Azure by Nora Corbett. She is very fun to stitch and easy too. There is no blending threads. I will be starting the skin portion in a day or two. I will be stitching the skin 2 threads over 1. <br />

I am still stitching Lizzie Kate ABC Lessons. I had to move the q-snaps over and took a picture. Hopefully I can go back to it soon, I think after I do the skin on Azure and I stitch February Calender Girl. I should have the pattern any day now.<br />
<br />
I had went to my support meeting this past Monday. I am 5 miles away but with traffic it can take 15 minutes to get there. I took my camera and got some snowy scenes. More snow is coming on Thursday with another 4 to 8 inches of the white stuff and a mixture of sleet and rain. Oy! What a mess!<br />

As you must have heard by now, Shirley Temple Black passed away on February 10, 2014. I loved her movies as a kid. I would watch them at my aunt's house because she had a vcr and would rent the movies on the weekends. My favorite movie is <u>Heidi </u>and closely followed behind <u>A Little Princess</u>. Of course, you can't forget about the Shirley Temples cocktail drinks. When my siblings and I went out to dinner with our parents, they will let us order a Shirley Temple. I always felt like a grown-up because it was made at the bar and arrived in a special glass. Rest in peace Shirley!<br />

I decided to joined the Stitch from Stash this year. This is the one where you just stitch from your stash and spend only $25 a month on stash. I did good on the spending. I only spend $17.88. I brought some threads and a couple $4 patterns at Stoney Creek. I had to resist on buying more and it is hard. In this report I have 2 finishes and worked on a new project and a UFO.</div>

I finished Grumpy Cat. I think I mentioned I was annoyed with the person I was stitching it for, and I really wanted to use the hoop, so I finished it. I know if I took the hoop off before finishing, it will be awhile before I get back to it. Besides I am trying to get my WIPs down, so it was better if I finished. Now just to finish if into an ornament.</div>

I decided I wanted to do the Calender girls and I had committed to the purchases before signing up for SFS. I am not sure what I am going to do with them yet but I enjoyed stitching January. My goal is to stitch them within the month I get the pattern. I am hoping life doesn't get in the way too much. I wanted to finished January for this report, the reason why I am just barely reaching the time line, lol. </div>

I started on Azure on January 1. I love stitching her. The top picture is the body and her fin. The bottom is the fail and big fin. I have seen her done by a few people and she is gorgeous and quick to stitch. This month was a tough one to stitch. My goal is to finish the stitching part by end of February. </div>

This is the UFO I am working on, Lizzie Kate ABC Lessons. I am determine to finish this one soon. When I take the snaps out I will take a bigger picture. I will need to order more threads for this one. My next project I will be stitching on, before I go back to Azure, will be Autumn Encounter. He has been howling for me and I do want to finish page 1. I only have less than 2 columns left. A picture on the wolf next time. On the left side of my blog, are some patterns I want to work on and try to finish them. The list might get longer as I add things. </div>

I had my surgery as scheduled. It went well but living on a liquid diet sucks! I am now on a puree diet, which right now I think it is heaven, lol. I did lose 22 pounds and very happy with that. I am dehydrated so I am drinking more water and watching my sugars closely.</div>

The weather has been cold, cold, cold. I am lucky there has not been much snow with the cold. I learned about snow rolls today. It is when the wind is blowing and makes rolls out of the snow. It has to be under special conditions but it is weird and awesome at the same time. Try to stay warm.</div>

It has been about 2 months since I posted an update. It probably be long so bear with me. first up is the last Halloween exchange I didn't post yet. The exchange was hosted by Stitch, Create, and Exchange, formally Stitched with Love blog. Barbara send me a lovely exchange she had made herself. She is a designer in Europe so everything is from her, the pattern she stitched, the one she gave me, the threads, ric rac trimmings and buttons. The thread holder is shape of a raven and very pretty.<br />

This is a picture of me on Christmas Day. My sister took the picture for me. Next year I will not be looking like this, being obese. On January 15, 2014 I will be having a double surgery, one being the sleeve gastronomy and the removal for my gallbladder. I started the procedure in September, hit a brick wall due to insurance, but I climbed over it, and went to a bigger hospital. I will be going to Yale Hospital to get it done and next Tuesday I will be see the anesthetist for the pre-testing of the surgery. I am going to a support group meeting weekly to help deal with food emotionally. Even though most had the surgery or in the process of getting it done, there a few who just come because they know they are addicted to food. I am nervous, which is normal and wished the surgery was over, but I am excited too, wondering where this path will take me back to normal living and new friendships, providing there are no complications. <br />
<br />
I had lost my stitching mojo. I was stitching the Grumpy Cat freebie by Brooke Nolan, I am not sure if you saw it on her website ( Brooke Publishing Books). The person I am stitching for, I am irritated with that person. Maybe I should just finished for me and stitched again later when I am more pleasant with this person. I might have an update before my surgery, if not, it will be afterwards. I will have a giveaway soon. I had reached 300 followers and just gather some items from my stash. Be on a look out for it. <br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />
