And another project

It is amazing what one will find when they go through stuff while moving. I don't know when I started this one for my mom. But here's the starting point for today and what I did today.

Another project

I started this one YEARS ago...it is for my aunt. I hope to finish it soon as well. It is hard to tell what I did today but I did most of the orange.

Approaching 2000 posts

I had intended on having this blog be more about my life but after the break-up with Scott, it turned more towards my crafts, cute dogs, and happy dances. I have 18 more posts before I hit 2000 and I'm thinking about doing a giveaway. If you would like to receive a small cross-stitched gift from me, please post on this blog and let me know. Thank you to my followers.

And yet another UFO turned into a WIP

I don't even remember when I first started this one-it's a gift for my cousin. I took a starting point shot and then what I managed to do today.

Rotation continues

I started this years ago-matching latch hook for myself and my cousin. Going to attempt to make them into pillows.

I've decided to set up a rotation of projects (especially since I found a ton that I need to do and finish) so I don't get sick and tired of doing the wedding gift (cream and white on cream can get pretty boring quickly). So I worked on the wedding gift yesterday.

Needed a break

So I went back to working on this latch hook piece. It's been about a year since I last worked on it. Hope to get it done and then hopefully sell it.

finally getting back to this-hard to tell the progress-cream on white

No motivation

Without having a job (going on almost 2 months now), boyfriend not having a job, I just don't have much motivation to do much. I haven't stitched since Halloween and I NEED to get this gift done. I did go back to Weight Watchers and saw that I had lost 1.6 pounds since August so something right has happened. I search for a job every day and have been on a few interviews. But no solid job. I know that I'm overqualified for some positions that I've applied for but I REALLY don't want to go back and do the type of work I was doing before. So I'm hoping that I can get something done craftwise...just so I feel like I've accomplished something. I might even go looking for some volunteer jobs just so I can get out of the house and do something worthwhile.
