2008 EMS Rose Sampler Happy Dance!

Its finished!!! Woohoo! Another WIP completed! Good thing too as this makes my final completion in Germany. We get up at 0500 tomorrow just to be at the on post shuttle in time for it to take us to the airport. Our original ride got a flat tire and is using a donut now :( Anyway I'll try and post again soon. I have some other pictures I want to share but DH wants to get his show downloaded before we leave the hotel.

EMS 2008 Rose Sampler

I finished the row of roses and leaves and have about half of the uppercase alphabet completed. The first picture is the entire sampler itself and the second picture is a closer up view of what I had stitched since you all last saw it. I only had like one or two of the roses row completred. I had stopped stitching when i was sick. I had a fever of 102.6 which really had me scared but i took my excedrin and drank some cool liquids once i was able to keep things down and am happy to report we are all feeling a whole lot better. Kiley also spilled her tea on this so it had to go for a washing and air drying so i also lost time there but oh well thats life. I am just thankful it all came out.

Happy Dance!

She's done! Woohoo! So many beads wow, I think she had more beads on her than the other two I did but oh well I loved stitching her.

I pulled out my 2008 EMS Rose sampler to work on and I got some done.

Non-stitching news:

The movers came and took nearly everything but forgot some things including the bed frame we had downstairs. I am so upset over it plus they left all there trash here all over our house and downstairs leaving us to clean up after them. Mike signed the papers without going through and making sure they got everything. Plus they left the front door and back door open for the two days they took to pack our house and so I froze the entire time. Now Kiley, DH, and I have the flu. Plus we had to go to an xmas company party on Thursday which was mandatory and the kids weren't feeling well or anything. But its all over except this flu bug which we are fighting. 

9 more days before we fly!

Happy Stitching!

Elf fairy

Here she is as of oh I would say two days ago. I haven't touched her yesterday or today as of yet. Please forgive the needle there, not sure why its there but ok whatever. The other day I finished the stitching and backstitching and got all the beads around her feet completed and then the next night the beads on her legs and bottom portion of her dress and wings done and then nothing since. I spent yesterday finishing up all the packing and today the mover is here yes I said mover not movers, apparently they are suppose to be doing two house at once so we have one guy here. Good thing they are scheduled for today and tomorrow. But he has my front door open and our back door open so its so so so sooooo cold in here! I have my oven on and open trying to get a little warm though I am tempted to go into my bedroom and crawl under the covers. DH has his laptop so i will continue to have computer and internet till about the 14th but I am not sure if I will be able to show any progress pictures after this one but I will update as soon as I can.
