OMG I Did get distracted - by the mail!

You just won't believe it! I went to gather in the mail and WOOHOO I received a gift I won on the SanMan MB during Valentine's Day.

I entered a contest where I had to guess how long Myrna and her husband had been married. I was 1 of 3 who guess 27 years correctly and I won by random drawing! The prize was a pinkeep Myrna made herself. I expected that but I got the cutest card and a pair of pink scissors with a crystal fob too! How sweet was that? I love all of it.Thank you Myrna!

So see I had a legitimate reason to be distracted......back to the grindstone.

Fright Night 2 Finished! - SanMan's 12 Days Of Halloween SAL

Well I'm done on the second chart from SanMan's 12 Days of Halloween SAL! As you could tell from the first photos I didn't go with yellow fabric. LOL Though I have some picked out for one of the future pieces. As usual I switch most of the colors - I like then REALLY bright! I added some yellow Barbie buttons for the big bat's eyes.....kinda creepy huh? Here is the way the pattern shows this piece...I'm not a big heart fan so I changed the hearts in the border pupmkins to jack-o-lantern faces. Whatcha think?

I'm on to other projects now! I did take a small break earlier to start Boo #4. Got the lil punkin's mask done as you can see here. I wouldn't be in such a hurry to get this Boo done but I'm shipping all 4 of to my fabulous finisher Frances on Monday so I can gift them to thier new homes soon! I'll be getting back to Crabby's header as soon as I get this one done.....unless of course something else catches my eye. Hee hee hee

Progress On SanMan's 12 Days Of Halloween SAL

Well I've been stitching a bit here.....working on my SanMan Fright Night Chart #2 for February though we just got the chart last week I making quite a bit of headway. Here are my first 2 days of stitching progress and I'm sure to be finished tonight or early tomorrow! I've had a request for another Hello My Name Is Boo so I guess I'll get that done next before I go back to Boo Club....I would've posted these sooner but my desktop is on the fritz-usb wireless connection died! Gotta go grab another one!

More soon

Boo Club Update and a finished RR UFO!!

OMG OMG OMG I can't believe that after being sent around for 2 different Round Robins my Bent Creek Snappers are finally finished all but the actual snaps themselves!!!!! WOOHOO!!!! As you can see by the pics it took a tad over 4 years. LOL But it DID get done! Now I'll have to drop by my local Hancok's and pick up both silver and black snaps and then go pick out a frame for this monstrosity! It'll probably take both arms and both legs to pay my way out of that one! I've emailed all the stitchers in round 2 to see if anyone will take credit for their squares.....I've narrowed it down to a couple of months unclaimed on round 2 but unless I can find some hard copy documents (fingers crossed) from the 1st round I may never know who stitched a couple of these babies! Wahhhh If you want to get a better idea of what they look like all strung out like they should be you can look here: http://s214.photobucket.com/albums/cc56/wickedwitchmaggie/Finished/2009/

It has come to my attention that I should probably give credit where credit is due so here is a list of the dedicated stitchers and the corresponding months that they stitched for my Bent Creek Snapper RR! You are now being immotalized! Now if I can just figure out the last 2 months....

Jan – Me 2nd round

Feb – Me in the 1st round

Mar - ??

April - ??

May - Me in the 1st round

June - Me 2nd round

July – Arielle S in the 1st round

Aug – Colleen G 2nd round

Sept - Kim M & I 2nd round

Oct - Linda C 2nd round

Nov - Kim M 2nd round

Dec – Arielle S in the 1st round

I've also made some good progress on my Lizzie Kate Boo Club!! I've changed the color of the alternate blocks in the border to a lime gree DMC 907 I think. The border on the right extends far below the picture here...... I need to catch up the other side of the border and then I will add the buttons to Treats & Black Cat but I don't want to have to fight with them while stitching. I'm amazed that I am making the stitching progress on all these projects that I am. Whew I sure hope I can keep it going and not drop behind!

The February installment of SanMan's 12 Days of Halloween SAL has been announced so I will have to get that going tonight. Here is a pic of it but don't expect mine to look like that cuz you KNOW I'm gonna have to make changes!!!! I'm thinking a bright yellow fabric??

Well that's it for now!

SanMan 12 Days Of Halloween SAL

Well I got sucked in to another SAL.........of course it is Halloween themed. LOL I just couldn't resist. We will be stitching patterns Sandy at SanMan gifted her board members with just this past Halloween. January's is titled Fright Night I just got the pattern yesterday and as I couldn't seem to get sleepy last night I stayed up until 6:30 this morning stitching on it and got back up at 10:30 to begin again. LOL Insomnia actual accomplished something this time. I stitched it on Sandy's own overdyed "Puttin On The Ritz" Jazlyn fabric in 28 count and change up most of the floss colors.

Now it's back to Crabby and Boo Club until they post the next installment. Though I've been toying with the idea of stitching something small for Valentine's Day. Hmmmmmm will let you know.
