Update on Ruh - Page Finish

I finished page 15 and he is so handsome!  

That is just page 15, and I love how detailed it is.  Working on page 16 now and he is staring at me while I stitch him.  (I love it)!

And here he is with pages 1 thru 15 done.  He is just jumping right off of the fabric.  I really do enjoy working on him.  To think that I only work on him an hour a day at work on an average of 3 days a week is amazing to me.  I have gotten a lot done in those small windows of time.  
Page 16 is gridded and started already.  I think I am going to start doing weekly updates on him now, as I love seeing him develop more and more.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Random Update

Here he is, in all of his glory:

So close to another page finish, but not quite yet.  He is so handsome, and scary!  I love the eyes and the detailing is just amazing.  
With no back stitching done on the HAED charts, it amazes me how they can do that.  Fine work!  Kuddos to Michele and her team!

Other than that, we didn't get the house we put the offer on.  They never even answered us...  We were then told that the realtor has a bad name in the business.  Not a good thing.  Guess we didn't want that one after all...  (but I did and still do).
On to bigger and better things right?  We will keep looking.

Daughter is doing good in school.  She has decided she wants 7 classes instead of 6, so her schedule will be changing shortly.

Have a great weekend everyone!

RIP SoCal Debbie

You will be missed.

The end of Summer

She is now in high school, where has the time gone?

I mean seriously, where has it gone?  Just the other day I was dropping her off for her first day at first grade.  She is her own person and has her own sense of style, as you can see.  Her hair never stays the same, which I think her hair stylist likes.  

My hubby and I just celebrated out 18 year wedding anniversary.  <3

We had a great weekend and didn't really do much.  (We had gone to Disneyland and Universal Studios the weekend before).

Dearest Daughter went to Oregon with her friend a week before school started, she had a great time stopping along the highway to dip her toes into the ocean every once in awhile.  They had a great time.  She got me this:

I love it!  And I am wearing it today.  

Ruh is coming along nicely.  I am getting very close to finishing this page I am working on.  Once we move (still house hunting), I will start working on my UFO for my daughter and then start a new one for my co-worker.  I am looking forward to it!

Oh!  I almost forgot.  We had an earthquake here early Sunday morning.  Rocked us pretty good.  No damage in the apartment that we could find, I believe they are doing a once over to make sure there were no damages as well.

My sister however did have some frames fall off the wall and break.  She also had a vase break that was our moms.  It upset me quite a bit as I know it also upset her.  She lives very close to where the quake hit so felt it much more than we did.  Her town suffered millions of dollars worth of damage, and some buildings have been red tagged.  Scary! But I will still take earthquakes over tornadoes or hurricanes any day! 

Okay, that's it for now.  Have a groovy day all!

Till laters,

Been Awhile

Wow, the last time I posted was in March?  Holy cow.  Time flies when you are having fun!  
So I have updates on Unleashed.  Here is page 13 and 14 finished:

And here he is now on page 15, (not done yet).

Isn't he handsome?  I just had to post an update.  I just love seeing him come to life in front of me. 

I haven't been working on any other stitching except him.  I don't want to be stitching at home right now as I don't really have the space to do anything in.  We are trying to find a house now, so keep your fingers crossed for us please.  We have already been approved, but now we are just waiting for "the house". It has been an interesting journey so far.

Let's see, what else?  Hrm.  Dearest daughter starts high school in a few weeks.  I am not ready... but I am sure she is.  

Hubby is working and doing good.  He enjoys his job but not the majority of the people he works with.  (I think everyone has someone they work with that they don't like).  He just has a few more than that...  

That's all I can think of right now.  Gonna go try to catch up on some blogs I haven't read in forever...  sorry about that!!

Take care and happy stitching!

Updates on life and stitching!

Sorry I have been MIA.  Not a lot of stitching going on, but many other things have been happening.

In no particular order:
My hubby graduated college and now has 2 degrees! 

He started his new job in early February and is loving it.  I am so proud of him!!  <3
Because he got a new job, we had to get another car as he needs one for work.

My wonderful daughter turned 14!

 She dressed up as Alice and had a cake to match!

Then she got this amazing framed picture.

One of her gifts from her dad and I was to get her hair re-done.  Isn't she beautiful?  I know I am biased, so yeah, she is!

 Oreo is a bit mental...

 We signed up for nomoretogo.com.  It is a great site that gives you dinner recipes for a week with a grocery list.  It has cut our grocery bill in half for the month.  I am loving all of the different things we are trying.  Here is a teaser of one we cooked this past week.  YUM!

I had a night out with the girls.  It was a great afternoon.  I am on the right.

And last but not least, I finished page 13 of Ruh this afternoon.  He now has a hand.

 And here are pages 1 thru 13 completed.  (Sorry for the wrinkles).

Until next time.  Hopefully it won't be as long!
