More progress on Abcedairie by Gazette94. I am stitching more as I have not been on the computer as much.

We had beautiful weather this past week. Spring is here.

I spent this last week stitching on Day. I am really enjoying this one and made alot of progress. I hate to put it down but it is time to move on to this week's piece. I have also include a picture of my orts after one month. The little hedgehog in the picture is a finger puppet my DH brought home for me.

My DD was home this past week for spring break. It kinda caught me by surprise. I had not been on line to receive any of her messages during the week (stitching instead of being on the computer). She is back to school now but will be home in early May for the summer. Keeping fingers crossed she finds a job for the summer.

I am going to order my first Chatelaine. I have decided on Knot Garden. I just need to wait for DH to fix the printer so I can get my order printed off and in the mail on Monday. I like to have the patterns and any speciality items in my stash for whenever I get around to stitching them. Besides the pattern I will also order the beads. I will pick up the speciality threads from my lns.

This past week I worked on Freight Train. I have completed one train car! The week before I was working on Happy Girl and made alot of progress. I stitched every night while watching the Olympics. I really enjoyed the Olympics this year. Canada did a great job of putting them on. I think it was more enjoyable since we are close in time zones. When they are hosted by a country on the other side of the world, events are happening while we are sleeping and you hear the results before you can watch them on tv. I try not to listen to the results before I can watch the competition. Looking forward to the Summer Games in 2012.

My DD is home for spring break this week and it is my DS birthday on Monday. The weather is finally warming up so stitching might slow down.

This past week I stitched on Abecedaire and made alot of progress. I have been watching the Olympics every night. Friday night as I was sitting down to eat supper my DD called from college. She has bronchitis and wanted to come home. So I drove down to Muncie and picked her up. No stitching (or Olympics Friday night ) as I didn't get home til after midnight.

My DD brought me the frog box pictured above. It was full of chocolate covered animal crackers. Very tasty. I am now using the box to put my orts in. I will show a picture of the inside when I get more orts.

After a weekend of resting and taking her medicine DD is feeling better. My husband will be taking DD back to college Monday morning. Her roomate had bronchitis a few weeks ago. Sounds like alot of the kids have it down there. I think the bronchitis went thru the college and not the H1N1.

Here is my progress on Day. I had lots of stitching time this past week, starting with the Superbowl and ending with the Olympics.

Stitching will continue this week as I watch more of the Olympics. Hope to accomplish quite a bit on Abcedaire.

I won these marshmallow frogs playing bingo at work. I thought they were too cute to eat. I collect frogs and decided it would be better to keep a picture of them. I will let my son eat them so they don't go bad.

Taxes and the FASFA are both done. So I feel like I accomplished alot.

We did get snow this week. About 4 inches. The schools were closed two days based on the forecast which as usual was not as bad as they made it sound. I did make it to work all week even though I was tempted to call in so I could stay home and stitch.

Here is my progress on Freight Train. Did not get to stitch every day but I did make some progress. I wanted to have my taxes done yesterday so I could stitch all day today. Instead I did laundry and grocery shopping. Hope to do the taxes today and still have time to stitch.
