Happy Dance!

I'm doing my happy dance of spring. It's finally warm and sunny. And it's suppose to be that way all this week. Grass is greening up. Daffodils are getting ready to bloom. My mood has already improved a bunch overnight. I can't wait to get out and start working in the yard, or setting out on the deck. I'm just looking forward to being outside. I'm one of those people that suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affect Disorder). This was a self diagnosis because "I HATE WINTER." I don't know why some people enjoy winter. It's cold, it's dark, every thing is brown and dead, there's nothing fun to do outside because remember.......it's cold,dark and dead. I can't see how bundling up like Ralphie's brother in A Christmas Story to go outside of any length of time can be fun. But for those of you that enjoy winter, you go for it. I'll stay cozied up with my stitching and a blankie and see you in the spring.
Nothing new much on the stitching front. I did get the Easter Egg finished. Now just need to complete the "assembly" process. I pulled out a WIP that I'd kind of forgotten about. It's just a fun little piece about spending my money on cross stitch and chocolate. Also, still plugging along on Quaker Christmas.
I'll try to get some updated pics for next posting.
Since my last post, the stitching group I belong to met at my house and we had a really fun time. We got alot of visiting in along with some stitching and snacking on cookie/brownie bars I made.
If you know me, then you know I do not like to cook. So even though these came from a boxed mix, I think they were pretty good. Probably better than if I'd tried them from scratch. Scratch doesn't really work for me. Believe me, my talent lies in cross stitch.
Think I do a little blog surfing and then off to stitch.
Have a good evening,
Deana

A Couple of Finishes

I finally got around to getting the pictures taken of some of my projects.
First up is the Prairie Schooler Alphabet, P is for Parrot. I was a little late getting this one finished like I had planned. It should have been done by the end of Feb, but I was a couple of weeks late. Oh well, better late than never, so onto Q is for Quilt.I've pulled everything together but haven't started it yet.

I had Happy Easter from Bent Creek that I really wanted to do for this Easter. Here's a pic of the progress I've made. I've had alot of fun stitching this piece. Fun colors. Buttons will go in the empty squares when I'm done. I've made more progress on this since I took the picture the other day, so I should have it finished this weekend.

Also, I have finished my March Stitch A Long. A cute little leprechaun.
Here's a shot of what the layout will look like. Now just waiting to get started on April on the 1st.

In between these projects, I've stitched a little more on Quaker Christmas.


Steve left this morning for his yearly snagging trip. I plan on spending the entire weekend at home. Tonight, updating my blog and doing some major stitching.
Tomorrow, laundry, stitching, watching nascar and who know what else. The weather this weekend is suppose to be the pits so I will have a good reason for staying home. It is in the 60's today and tonight it is suppose to get cold and start raining,sleeting and snowing 1-3" this weekend. Surely the weatherman will be wrong.
However, it's 7;30PM, still in the 60's here in mid Mo, but in Kansas City which is just 3 hrs. away, it is 39 and raining. At least I got my car vacuumed out today. I hadn't been able to do that since last fall.
I think I will stop for now. Racing is on and I want to go catch some of the qualifying.
Until next time, happy stitching!
