I haven't gotten as far as I would have liked on CHS Shores. I made it to the rocks. There was a little frog gigging going on at my house. It seems I have a little trouble counting to 92. Someone mentioned doing half stitches every ten stitches but I was to far in to the block when I heard that tip. But believe me, I won't forget that tip on the next block.
Then Friday night I started reading Historian. I couldn't put it down. I am really going to have to invest in audio tapes, that would be the best solution. When I am reading this book, I have the sensation of wanting to looking over my shoulder.
Saturday morning, I got up bright an early to work on CHS Mary Margaret. I made a little progress on her. Obviously, I didn't warn off the frogs good enough Thursday. They reappeared on Sunday, and I had to have another gigging session. I stitched the q three lines to high and it had to be frogged out. Megan has asked me when I was going to stitch her mouth. Has anyone stitched a smile on the girl's face?
Do you watch Sunday Morning on CBS? This morning they had an episode with Ben Stein and dogs. How you should get a dog when you get a divorce, lose you job or spouse. They don't judge you if you don't wear the latest fashion, or care how much money you make or where you work or how much money you lost in your 401K. They love you for who you are. They are great companions.
When my girls went off to college it was very quite at my house. You would think coming home to a quite house might be nice but after 30 minutes it was too quite. I was use to the hub bub of going seven days a week. Girls coming and going, games to played or dresses to buy. So I have two small dogs-Tuffy & Sidney. They are always glad to see me, even if I am gone 10 minutes or all day. They are interested in what I have to say or at least pretend to be interested. lol! They make me laugh at the antics, running through the house, or stealing each other's bone. Tuffy & Sid don't complain that I have watched Twilight more times than they can count.
Here is a picture of Tuffy. Tuffy seems to be camera shy. He didn't like it when I was trying to take his picture. I will get a picture of Sidney later and show you what a pretty girl she is.
Thanks for stopping by & leaving comments!

Your WIPs look great! Sorry about the frogs -- I so hate when that happens!!! And Tuffy is adorable! :D I do wonder if I'll end up getting a dog when the last kid goes off to college.
These are coming right along, Tanya, frogs and all. And don't you just love Ben Stein? That is wonderful advice and Tuffy (love that name!) is too cute.
Both of these WIPS are looking great. I'm working on Shores too, and I have the darnest time counting to 92 too. Maybe I'll try that method of half cross stitches and see if it helps. I've done my share of frogging on that piece too!
Aaawww, that little tuffster is too cute. He looks like a sweet little guy. I can't imagine living without a dog or two in my life...ever.
Love you WIPs, they are both so pretty.
And your puppy is such a sweetie!
Great start on your WIPS, Tanya! I love Sunday Morning but did miss it this week - love Ben Stein!!! Your doggie is adorable!
I love the 1/2 cross idea every 10 stitches - great solution to a never ending problem of miscounting I seem to have!
You're doing great on your WIPs, Tanya! Sorry to hear about the frogging. :P Oy! Love your Tuffy! Too cute. :)
I hear you on The Historian! I looooove that book. I don't know how I'd manage to listen to it--I'd be so freaked, but I will try... eventually. ;)
Awww Tuffy is cute!!! And slow and steady wins the race, on those two beautiful projects you have going!:)
Pretty starts!
