Just incase you wondered...

Greetings dear blogging buddies~ I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine went pretty well but we were COLD! Worked on my "what did I do today" lists and it was amazing what all I had written down that I got accomplished. I'm not feeling so depressed now that I see that I am accomplishing much more than I realized. Thanks Jennifer! I owe you one! Still haven't made that snowman yet though, the snow hasn't been packable.

I haven't had much cross stitching on the blog lately , so I thought you all might be wondering if I still stitch. Yep , sure do. I just usually switch gears in the fall and winter to quilting and knitting. I did get this little prim/country style box done over the weekend. I had the stitching done for quite some time and had just not got around to finishing it out. It is taken from Little House Needleworks Little House Neighborhood. I changed the colors just a tad. I didn't get it on the box completely straight , but I guess that just adds to the prim style charm. :) The tie around the lid has a raw edge to allow it to kind of fray over time .I thought that would make it look cute.

My mother-in-law painted a box for me a few Christmases ago . I keep a tablet of paper and a pencil inside. Makes it nice and handy for grabbing it to write down what all I've done or for whatever. The marble top coffee table itself came from my husband's grandmother when she moved in with his aunt after his grandfather passed away last January. I don't vacuum under it unless my husband is home. It's super heavy to move!


We went fabric hunting over the weekend to try to find something for that naked window that's been bugging me. I bought a few yards and brought it home and draped it across the window to get an idea of what it might look like. I still have to take it down and sew up the edges , but here's an idea of what it will look like. Better than nothing don't you think? :)

I did a little knitting on some socks for Alex. I will show the progress later. He's been begging me for some time now to knit him some and I thought now was a good time. I also worked some on his quilt. Other than shopping and housework , we didn't do much else. We did watch a few movies over the weekend. They were "Groundhog Day" , "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", and "The Fugitive". We also watched some History Channel stuff.

Flylady update~ on target and ready for Zone 3! That's it for me today. Thank you all so much for all of your wonderful comments . They make my day!
'til next time,
Happy stitching,
Sharlotte
