Good Weekend for Stitching

I had a fantastic long weekend. On Good Friday while my DH watched all six Star War Movies on the Space Channel I worked on 3 Mystery SALs.

On Saturday, in between cleaning the house, I stitched this one up for the Spring SAL at NH.

After Easter dinner yesterday I started working on the piece I am doing for the Spring Exchange at NH. (Sorry no pictures.) I have continued working on it this evening and should have it finished by tomorrow.

Also, I managed to enter a few more charts into The Stash Can the weekend. Gosh, I need more hours in the day. I have so many charts that I still want to stitch. I came across a couple of Castle charts - Heidelberg, Neuschwanstein - that I would love to stitch for myself since I have visited both. I also have the Hearts of Canada Series (except for Nunavet which I will be purchasing ASAP) that I have started (Manitoba and Canada - International Hearts) and would like to eventually put together in a wall hanging. Oh well, I guess I just have to go at it one chart at a time.

Happy stitching!

Time For Another Update.................

although I haven't stitched much this past week.

I stitched a little quickie up on Friday for a "Movie Night" Gift Basket I made up for a silent auction we are holding at our Area (Girl Guides) Annual Dinner on Monday night. I found the pattern in the July 2006 issue of the The Gift of Stitching Magazine. I stitched it on 14 ct. brown paper and enclosed it in a magnet frame. The pattern called for JABC Popcorn buttons but I just stitched the popcorn.

Here is a picture of the basket I put together. It includes a 2 DVDs, a box of microwave popcorn, popcorn seasoning, a bag of M & Ms, a bag of red Twizzlers, a 6 pack of 100 cal Coke, and a $10 GC from Rogers Video. I was so excited when I found the popcorn bucket at the $ store a couple of weeks ago, it was just what I was looking for.

Part 3 of the PK Garden Fantasy Mystery SAL was released on Thursday. So now I am working Part 3 along Parts 1 & 2. Here is my progress to date.

I have one goal this year - TO ORGANIZE MY STASH!!!!!!!!!!!! To achieve that goal, I started adding my charts and Kits into The Stash Can on Thursday. Boy what an eye opener. I have barely scrapped the surface but I am already amazed at how much stuff I have. I have definately reached S.A.B.L.E. (Stash Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy). I have also come across a couple of items that I have in duplicate. Since this is not the first time I have bought something twice, I am hoping that by using The Stash Can I will avoid doing it again. I want to spent my money on new stuff not something I already have.

Well, it's getting late.

Happy Stitching!!!!!!!!!!!!
