I guess I should have said what it was I was taking out but I was thinking I had posted a picture, :) I had done the owl, 3 motifs and a little house at the top of the piece I am working on. It's Witches Hollow from Primitive Needle. I had started the owl above the moon that has the 2 bats instead of above the bat on the left and I didn't realize it until I had done all that other and started wondering why there was so much space between those motifs and what I had already stitched before.

Oh well, not the first time I have taken something out and certainly won't be the last time.
Well, it took me 2 nights to take all of that out but I finally finished and restarted the owl last night. I got the wings and bottom part of the center done.

I won't be stitching tonight since I am captain of a team for Relay 4 Life for the American Cancer society and the relay is tonight, well actually 18 hours. I am having another team member be there at the beginning though because it starts at 6:00 tonight and my niece is also graduating from college with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Elementary Education at the same time. Plus it's about 1 1/2 hours from where the relay is. I am just going to go to that then come back and change clothes in the restroom of the site of the relay.

Oops, forgot the pictures.






Well, I started last night picking out some of what I put in on Witches Hollow Saturday plus all I had put in Sunday and then Monday night. I started that darn owl at the top just above the moon that has the 2 bats rather than above the bat on the left and then after finishing him I started stitching motifs going down the right side when I thought "hmmm, there sure is a lot of space between these. It took me a bit to figure out where I had messed up. That owl was not easy to stitch either, I hate it when designers use two symbols almost identical and most of him is symbols ) and (. I had put it in there to stay evidently because I spent over 1 1/2 hours last night just taking out the left wing and center of the owl.


I got Spot back from the framer on Saturday and I just love him. Here is a picture of him and also a picture of the wall where he is hanging in his place of honor.

I had started back to weight watchers and despite spending the weekend with my single/thin daughter that doesn't cook and going out to eat quite a few times I still managed to lose 2 lbs last week. I go to the meetings on Monday nights. I was really excited because I was just hoping for 1 lb.

Stitched some on Witches Hollow also. I hope to have that finished this coming week. I'm ready to move on to another project, but I have tried the more than one project at a time and it just doesn't work for me because I tend to end up just stitching on one. LOL

I am finally over 3/4 finished with Witches Hollow from Primitive Needle. I am ready to get it finished and move on to something else. Sooo many things I want to stitch and just not enough hours in the day. I started this on March 13 so not to bad I guess.

I am already soooo excited for July to get here. I registered yesterday along with 2 of my friends to go to the Blackbird Design (which I absolutely love) class at Silver Needle in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We aren't but about a 4-5 hour drive so we will leave on Friday morning and come back on Sunday but it will still be a GREAT time.

I didn't get any stitching done last night, I finished sorting NPI floss and put it in bags, added another blog link here and did a few other things around the house then went to bed early.
