Whatcha Working on Wednesday

I missed it last week, but I am back today with

Whatcha Working on Wednesday.

Leslie at My Country Home is our wonderful host.

Thank you Leslie for hosting.

I am still working on A Christmas Wish BOM.

This is the fourth one.

I have decided I am not going to get them done for this year.

So I will just keep working along on them in 2010 and

finish them for next year.

Currently I am stitching on the HOPE block.

It is almost finished.

I sometimes wonder where others do their stitching.

I do my cross stitching at this table.

I have a good light to shine on my work and

there is more light coming from above too.

I don't usually carry my cross stitch around with me.

But I do carry my other stitching like the BOM

in the first picture.

I frequently work on those in the car, during lunch at work,

and worked on it during a concert the other day.

I did have this sewing machine in the living room,

but it is now too cold to sew in there.

The sewing room is in transformation right now.

So I moved it to the other side of the table

from where I cross stitch.

Works quite well for right now.

My birthday present was getting the materials needed

to start putting up the shelves in the sewing room closet.

The ones on the left there will hang on the right side

of the closet.

Those two boards go above the shelf I already have.

I need to spray paint them white,

but it has been too cold and damp to do that these days.

Waiting for a warmer dry day.

We also got that step stool there.

It will be stored next to the dresser when not in use.

I hope to start putting them up this weekend if not before.

I have received a gift card from The Container Store

for my birthday also.

That means getting more shelves. Yippee!

I know getting shelves is not a glamorous gift,

but that is what I wanted. :-)

Here is a peek at something I am working on.

Some of you may be able to figure out what it is.
Here is where I am on my current cross stitch project.
I did some more green. And you can barely see some
white I did at the top of the pink hearts which are
also hard to see.

So what have you been working on lately?
Happy Wednesday!

Get R Done Friday!

I can't believe it is Friday already!

The week has flown by.

I have spent most of it being very tired.

But I do have some finishes to share.

First I want to thank

ClassyChassy at Expressly Corgi

for hosting for us.

I finished this card I had been working on last week.

Then I also finished this card this week.
It was for a couple at work who had gotten married
the week before Thanksgiving.
They also brought their baby.
It was my first time to see her.
She was wearing the dress I made for her too!
It is always cool to see the babies wearing the outfits I made
for them.
Several of the co-workers have brought their babies to work
in the outfits I made.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That bookcase I am working on clearing out.
Not done yet, but I am getting there.
Takes time to figure out where to put everything.

I got that skirt hanger to hang my bags of strips.

They are hanging in the closet next to the dresser where

I can find them.

So what have you gotten done?

~~~~~~

Happy Friday!

Whatcha Working on Wednesday

Today is Whatcha Working on Wednesday.

Leslie's is our wonderful host.

You can find her at My Country Home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I continue to work on my sewing room

to get it organized and to get it ready for more painting.

See this messy bookcase.

Well, it is a lot emptier now.

I am slowly getting things out of there

and either finding other places for it or packing in

boxes for right now.

My brother has cut me a couple of shelves to

add to the closet.

I want to paint them white before I put them up.

I hope to get that done soon.

This is my latest update on my project

for the stitch along blog.

I now have some green in there with the pink.

On my main blog I posted about going to BevMo.

We also went to JoAnn's Fabrics.

The DMC floss was on sale so I got 30

more skeins.

30 was the limit.

That left me with a mess to sort and to wind on to

bobbins. I have finished that project already!

I showed a start on my last post on this card I am making.

Here is where I am.

Oh wait! I did more!
Here is another picture!
I have got to finish this card tonight.
Need to take it to work tomorrow,
along with something to contribute to the potluck.
A therapist and a nurse got married.
So we are celebrating their union.
Can you tell those are going to be two
blue lovebirds on the card?
What are you working on?
