Super Bowl Stitching and Monopoly Monday

Superbowl Stitching....
Since I almost always cheer for the underdog in the big game this year I was cheering for the Arizona Cardinals. What better to stitch while watching the game but some birds in red. I started Day 3 of "On The Twelfth Day" by the Cats Whiskers. I put in the first stitch with the kick off and continued stitching on it the rest of the game and thru the evening. While the Cards didn't win the last 5 minutes of the game were very exciting and I think it was a good game.



Monopoly Monday....

From now until finished I will be working on the Monopoly Board on Mondays with Mary in TX. I stayed up way too late last night stitching on the "Pass GO" square and getting all the basic stitches in the other squares on Page 1 done. I should be close to finishing this page next Monday. This is a BIG project but I am enjoying it.



"Monopoly Board" as of 2-2-09
My order I place with 123 Stitch with my Gift Certificate from Deborah M should be here tomorrow and I will be hounding the mailman until I have it in my hot little hands. LOL I have the last two of the LK Christmas Double Flip It's and the fabric for them coming and I so want to start it. I'm going to do it as a Bell Pull so it will be another BAP. Oh Kelly what have you done to me....getting me to do all these BAP's
Until Next Time....Happy Stitching

Monopoly is looking good. But then your stitching always does.

That was a good game wasn't it. Me, I was rooting for the Steelers. So I was pleased they could pull it off in the last minutes of the game. I like those kinds of games.

Beautiful stitching. I love the colors on the first one.

You are making great progress on the Monopoly!! Looks great! You sure did alot on the red bird and it was kinda a shame the cards didn't win. I pulled for the steelers, but I wouldn't have been disappointed if the cards had won!

I thought the game was great too. Plus I got lots of stitching in myself. Your next 12 days of Christmas looks great and so does your monopoly board.

Both look wonderful! I just got the Twelfth Day (your fault, I might add! LOL) & I'm can't decide if I want to stitch the blue or the red. I'm highly leaning towards the red, especially seeing yours. I was thinking for the Crescent Cupid. Which thread are you using? Thanks.

Hey, Rene. I was just catching up on your blog. Since you left 360, I sometimes forget to check here (bad me). You have done some great work, but that is pretty much the norm for you. Enjoy the Monopoly board. I did it a few years ago and managed to get it framed, but I need to reframe it as I am not happy with the job I did. Later! Julie R

I thought the game was good, too... and I don't even know anything about football. LOL

Great job on your stitching! You got a lot done on the Monopoly board.
