My history

 This post camFe about because of two things. First I have been thinking about Sharon B’s challenge for July (http://sharonb.wordpress.com/): “What is it to be at the half way mark? For me three word lead to a mix of ideas. “Half”, “Way” and “Mark” all lead off into interesting directions that can be represented in [...]

I am catching up & June TIF

 
I finished reading some of my favorite blogs, finished the laundry, and even started swimming program at YMCA today. I feel like a nap! I’m either catching up or maybe just so far behind I look like I’m winning.

  

I also have a picture of my June TIF projects http://sharonb.wordpress.com/2008/06/01/take-it-further-in-june/ or http://takeitfurtherchallenge.blogspot.com/to post and will also send [...]

May TIF

     

I finished these last week, just did not get around to posting until today. I have had the worst cold of the season…at first I thought it was Spring allergies, but now I’m calling it what it is a virus. I am on the mend but I still feel like a bobble-head doll and [...]

April TIF

I probably should not be doing this today but I’m afraid if I don’t I will be next week before I can get back here. I think my grey mood is directly related to our weather…Who would have thought it would get cold again in late April…I am really tired of cold weather. Luckily and [...]

Another TIF for March & a quick gift

  Yesterday, I went to local ANG guild meeting and the program was Blackwork. I could have used the suppilied thread but since I knew I would probably complete this at the meeting and I happen to still have the colors from the March TIF still in my stitching box…Well…It was just a given…another TIF [...]

No one said anything

 I was looking at my Flicker account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sudukc/ and noticed back in January I had refered to my postcard and ATC as the Hungarian Stitch and not the Herringbone Stitch. I have changed them but it really brought home “taking care of details”. And I can’t believe no one said anything…
Having St Pat’s dinner for the [...]

St Patrick cookies

Today I spent the better part of the morning baking sugar cookies…rolled iced with sugar and baked. Decided not to ice these so I just used egg white and decorative sugar…and 7+ dozen later I decided that was enough green. I also ran out of green sugar and wasn’t about to send better half to the [...]

March TIF

I’ve had these finished for a couple days, just needed to attend to the “detail” of taking pictures…
         
I  went with the  color motif and did not pay much attention to the ”little things, the small moments, the details in life? This months challenge is to do just that, pay attention to the tiny details.” But [...]

Time gets away from me

No matter how I try I seem to forget about writing a blog. I was never a journal writer or diary keeper, so blogging is going to be a difficult task for me. And even once I start to write, it takes me forever to get my thoughts down. I am a verbal person not a [...]

Thoughts about January

Today is the last day of January and I can hardly believe how fast this month has flown by. As with any January day in the Midwest it is cold and snowy, a good day to hibernate with a cup of tea, a fireplace and reflect on the past month.
As I said in another [...]
