Cheryl's Bouquet & Car Update

Is it really Sept 22 already!?! Where does the time go?
I feel like I am doing well on somethings, like Dragons, and poorly on other projects, like Rose Garden & Papillion SAL that I have not touched in months! But I'm getting over it and just going with it all.
This week however was the Cheryl's Bouquet SAL weekend (these SAL weekends are great as they really force me to put in some stitches on some projects). I frogged almost ALL my stitches from last month… or darn close… as apparently I can't count. *sigh* But it's all fixed up plus some now. Here she is:


As for the car… thank you all for your comments and opinions. We have decided to keep the vehicle. It went in for some service today and everything seems fine. So just have to call the insurance company and get it all sorted out. We will have PLPD insurance on it, so if we hit someone we are covered. Just no collision for the actual car itself. This will allow us to put away the money that would have been car payments for things like our trip to Europe (my BFF moved there so we gotta go visit!) and a house down payment. It will be nice to have a little bit of money in the bank that is for sure.

Coming up this weekend I have another 12 hour at the Stitching Corner. However I am leaving it a bit early for football. I should also get some stitching in tonight and tomorrow evening. It is busy, busy with lots of things going on. Just a lot of stuff going on, so trying to make sure I find some stitching time so I can relax.

I've just realized that this is my 150th post… and the followers list is at 177! Thank you all so much.  So there will be a giveaway next week!! Watch for it...
Gotta see what the store has this weekend and come up with something awesome for the giveaway.
In the meantime hope you are all doing well and stitching up a storm. I am, as always, trying to get around to everyone's blog but sometimes it's just tough.

Glad to hear you've got the car thing sorted out.

Your stitching looks good. Seems to be the month for frogging, eh?

We are having our 2nd 12 hour stitch in on 9/25. They are so much fun.
Love Cheryl's Bouquet. Where is the pattern from?

I have Cheryl's Bouquet languishing too... I really should get back to it. Love the pattern! Yours is quite beautiful! I also had to frog MOST of what I had done. That usually makes me lose interest, thus the languishing... Thanks for the inspiration! Hugs.

Can you stitch and watch football at the same time? I will get stitching withdrawals, lol

Ooh, what color are you stitching this in? That looks like a great variegated for an autumn/fall stitching piece!

Happy 150th post!!!!

I love your Bouquet for Cheryl, I've been following it for quite a while now...I've been absent from my blog-reading for about 3 months (or more?) and I can't believe how much you've gotten done since I last logged in! It looks great!
