Spring Forward



Today I lost an hour of stitching due to the springing forward in time. I am participating in a SAL on CHS Shores, Adam & Eve and Mary Margaret. I only have a box done on Shores so I won't bother with posting a black box. I was able to make a little more progress on A & E, a couple of apples, a squirrel and the start of Adam's head. Since I am on Spring Break this week, I hope to get a lot more stitching done.

The other picture is the location of my second temporary job. It is at an old school house probably build around the late 1800's or early 1900's. The west entrance is marked girls and the east entrance boys. I find the architecture quite interesting. What made them separate the boys from the girls? What were the rules? I report to this job in the evening. The first week I was working there, 3 people informed me of their thoughts of creepy building after dark. I really hadn't given much thought to the building being creepy just old. It does a lot of banging, knocking and drafty. I don't think they will be calling in Ghost Hunters anytime soon since I am usually the only there until 10 or later. I will admit there has been a time or two a cold chill has ran up my back but nothing to make me run screaming from the building. And I have learned to use my Ipod to drown any background noise.

I like your progress on A&E! As for your temporary job, wow, that looks like an interesting building! I would definitely keep that ipod going. :D

Wow Tanya, great progress on your A&E! I can't wait to get started on mine. I love how your fabric turned out, too. That is a super cool building! I love older buildings like that, but I don't know if I'd be able to stay on my own in it like you do!

Great progress of your A&E, Tanya. I'm jealous, I haven't gotten any further on mine. Have to live vicariously through you for a few more days!

Love your AE progress. I am hoping my chart comes in pretty soon so I can start this one.

Creepy, old buildings are fun :-). BTW, Most of my extended family on my father's side live in Indiana.

I don't know A&E looks like so will look forward to seeing your progress. That's what's fun about these blogs! The colours are looking wonderful already.

Good luck with your new job.

You've made great progress on your A&E. I admire anyone who can stitch on black linen.

I love old buildings, but I'm not sure I would want to be alone in one that late at night.

You're making good progress on A&E. Looks like we both decided to start in the same place! Love that squirrel - can't wait to stitch him.
