Third times A Border

Hi All,
I finally was able to get this border stitched. I had to rip it out two times before I finally got it right. That is when I found out that the canvas was not cut the right size. The top and bottom have 3 extra inches and the sides have only 2 extra inches. It didn't help that the pattern was sooooooo helpful. "Start in the lower left corner". It doesn't tell you the size of the pattern. So, I struggled. But as you can see I not only got the border in I got in three more rows as well. I am on a roll now and nothing is going to stop me from finishing it now. What I really like about this pattern is all of the different stitches and different threads/fibers. It calls for Watercolour, Impressions, Perle Cotton, Neon Rays, Splendor, Grandeur and Treasure Braid along with beads. I cannot wait until I finish it. Have a great weekend.

Here's the pattern

Sorry, I couldn't get the picture of the pattern to download yesterday. So, here it is. Today is was alot easier than to do this than yesterday. I am going to get a hang of this yet. I am not going to let it defeat me. Love Always,Tina

What I am working on

This is a pattern by Glory Bee called America. The pattern calls for Wichelt 28count Natural Light Linen. I am doing it on 27 count Iced Cappuccino. I hope that this will look as nice as the picture.

Water, Water, Water and more Water

With all of the rain that we had on Wednesday I cannot believe that it is raining again. Thank God that we did not have any water in our house. Tony's Aunt and Uncle had to be taken out of their house in a canoe. I took Tony over there today so that he could help them get the stuff out of their house. It was so incredibly sad to drive down the street and see all of someone's possessions sitting at the curb waiting for the garbage man. I felt so sad. If any of you had any flooding I am so sorry. If there is anything that I can do please let me know. I have just found by camera and it is charging. I had taken it camp with me but was so busy that it never came out of my bag. When I came home of course the house was already under construction. So hopefully pictures next time. Love Always, Tina

I finally did it.

Just one more stitch. . . . . . It seems that I am always really close to finishing a project in the morning before going to work. I cannot decide if I should go ahead and finish it or be on time for work. My friend at work Starla says that I should finish the project and be late for work. She says that I should tell my boss that I had diarhia and he won't go any further with that conversation. I always feel guilty though. I feel as though it will be there when I get home. What do you think? I am really going to try and post often because I know how much I enjoy reading other blogs and how disappointment I am when there is nothing new. I am also going to try and include "Tony Stories". For those of you who don't know what "Tony Stories" are in you will learn real soon.
