Its the Weekend!

Yay! Its Saturday! I'm heading out shortly to meet Lori, whose new to this neck of the woods and wanted to find some people to stitch with. Also to bounce ideas off of someone whose local on where are the best places to get supplies. I'm looking forward to meeting a new local stitcher! Stitching groups in my neck of the woods seem to be few and far between.


Here's Tour as of last night, I'd like to work on it a lot this weekend, we'll see what happens!

Here are my pictures for the week!


Monday February 1 - Hunter, being cute as usual, I went into the bedroom on Monday morning, and there he was, sitting in Todd's empty laundry bin.


Tuesday February 2 - At work there are two staff members who drive VW Bugs, they always park them together! What a hoot!


Wednesday February 3 - I was greeted by this lovely sunrise as I was heading up the stairs to my library at work. So I went out the back of the building and took this shot.


Thursday February 4 - Stitching paraphernalia, yes I mark my charts(working copies that is)!


Friday February 5 - This is Cuddles, my other cat he's 13 and isn't anywhere near as cute or photographic as Hunter (sorry Cuddles). He spends a lot of his day now lying around and sleeping.

So that's it for now, we'll see if I get any great shots while I'm out today!

  2. Love the photo of the 2 volkswagens. I'd be tempted to buy a small toy one and pop it in between them so it looked like they'd had a baby...

  4. How nice that you have someone new in the area to stitch with. It is always nice to pop in for a stitch or more.

    BOTH of your cats look like sweetie-pie cats. Hunter is adorable in his laundry bin!

  12. Your kitties are adorable. I got a chuckle out of the first one in the laundry bin. Reminded me of my Emerald (also a black - long haired - cat). I pulled open a file cabinet drawer one day, many years ago, to find her curled up in the back sound asleep. I took a picture of it. She has been gone 1 1/2 years now.

    Lucky you finding a new someone to stitch with. I live in "retirement central" in Florida and there is NO ONE around to stitch with. :( So, I rely on my blog and the SALs that I belong to.

    Tour is looking awesome!

  15. Beautiful progress, Dani. Very cute pictures of Hunter in the laundry basket. Cuddles is a sweety...you are right, we don't get to see him very often. All the pictures are very nice.

    How great to have someone local to share your stitching with, I'd love to find a group, or even one person, near me. Love the pictures, my black cat loves to sit in things too, like the waste bin, washing basket, etc. Cuddles is a cutie too!

  20. Great progress on the Tour. It's a lovely project.
    Finding a stitching group or a single stitcher living nearby must be a real treat.

  21. Hi Dani,

    Hope that you have had a fabulous
    weekend. It has certainly been a
    cold one, again. I'm sitting here
    nursing a hot chocolate (low fat
    of course) holding it in my hands
    to warm them up and the heater is
    humming at my feet. Ah winter.

    Congratulations on getting below
    your goal weight this week. I
    am so very pleased for you.

    I went down a pound again last
    Tuesday so got my daily points
    raised again by two. Yesterday
    DH, my friend Darlene from work
    and I went to see Avatar at the
    theatre. What an awesome movie.
    In the evening we ordered in
    pizza, and I pigged out!!! We
    haven't had pizza since before
    I joined Weight Watchers so it
    was a real treat. And for
    dessert we had big slices of
    Mississippi mud pie. Yum!!

    All this in aid of going up to
    my goal weight so I can get off
    of this maintenance roller
    coaster. According to the scales
    at Curves this morning I've gone
    up a pound. Will that pound
    still be around by Tuesday
    night??? We'll see.

    Your Cuddles looks like a lovely,
    cute cat to me. My first cat
    Eponine was a grey cat and looked
    very much like Cuddles. She
    was very pretty, but it was hard
    to capture in photos because the
    grey fur tended to look like one
    solid color in my pictures.
    Hunter in the laundry bin is so
    much like our Rupert who likes
    to get into anything from the
    laundry basket to boxes from the
    book store. I guess it's a cat
    thing.

    Hope you had a nice meeting with
    Lori on Saturday. Does she blog?

    Tour continues to look awesome!

    Cheers!
