butterflies update

The new job is going well, so far I really enjoy it. It's taking away from my stitching time but I've still been able to make good progress on Butterflies Galore Storykeep. Here is the latest picture:

Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend. (Memorial Day here in the US)

I didn't get as much done this weekend as I would have liked. We got a new kitten on Saturday and I spent a lot of time trying to get him comfortable and introduced to the other animals. He loves the dog, and the other cat hates him. LOL I'm sure it will take a few weeks to get it all sorted out. He's only 7 weeks old an quite tiny. Our labrador thinks he's the best thing ever! Our 2 year old calico female thinks he's lucifer. He keeps coming up to her trying to get her to play and all she does is hiss and growl then run away. Two minutes later she comes looking for him. I'm sure she'll settle down soon.





So my stitching time this weekend was interrupted quite frequently, but here's an update on Butterflies Galore Storykeep:

I haven't been stitching as much this week, just don't feel like it. I put in a few stitches, then get ADD and want to go do something else. I wonder if it has anything to do with PMS? I might track that and see, could be pretty interesting. Anyways, of course HAED is having their Easter sale, and of course I had to get a couple of things. Here's what I picked up:

I will probably not start these any time soon. I really need to get a finish some day!

New Laptop

Well, I got a "new" laptop for the office. It's one that a customer didn't want to fix (had a broken screen and a bad hard drive). We fixed it up and now I'm on Vista for the first time. I hate Vista but, I have to learn the ins and outs of it to be able to help customers with it. I expect lots of crashes and cusing.

Anyways,

I stitched on Mermaid of the Deep for the HAED SWIP/UFO stitch-a-long this weekend and here are the results:


This chart is either confetti or LARGE areas of the same color. The result is striking though.
