What's Current?

First:
What is your most unique/interesting stitching quirk? (This could be something concerning the way you stitch, how you organize your stash, etc.)

I would have to say that my OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) sneaks out when I'm organizing my stash. I have ALL my stitchery projects, patterns, and kits in a notebook with the information ie; name, thread count, fabric, rotation date and if it's kitted.

I have all my DMC thread in numerical order in drawers. Doesn't everyone - AND I have all my thread in numerical order in a box while I'm working. This is something that some may not like, but when I have leftover thread after I stitch a color, I wind in back on the bobbin in the vertical direction so that I use it first when I need that color the next time.

News about my Noisy Neighbor:
The other day, I was walking across the condo parking lot and I saw him coming towards me and I thought he was going to try to pick a fight with me. But as he came closer he held his arm hand out to me. He shook my hand and APOLOGIZED for the noise!! He said that he will not make any more noise. What brought this about? $300. When the fine got up to $300!! We made an agreement that since he is home during the day that he can make all the noise he wants from 7 to 6.

My rotation:
You're probably wondering what's up with that? Well, I have been hooked on this angel and have been working on it and not rotating my WIP. But I have decided that as soon as I have done her face I would take a photo, post it and go on to my next rotation.

PS: Thanks for all your support.

Hot but peaceful

I want to thank those who have commented on my peace and quiet. It is a blessing to know that there is someone rooting for me. Yes, it has been quiet. The guy is a young man about in his twenties but looks about 16 with a shaved head. He likes to play heavy metal rock with a LOT of bass.

I've been working on my Angel and will post a photo with a box of what I've done:

Angel and Heart

All has been quiet - I think the girl next door had a few "words" with the boy friend about his stereo. Could it be true!!!!??
I took a break from my rotation and did "Wildberry Rhapsody" one evening just to have something different:


I have been working on my Angel of Healing. I come home after riding a bus from work for an hour in 90 degree weather and sit in my easy chair with the fan aimed at me and stitch! I will be able to post results soon.

Angel of Healing

I worked on "Window Seat" as much as I could put up with. I don't like working on aida. I washed it and it's drying on a towel at the moment. Tonight, I plan on pressing it and taking a photo of it for a posting here.

On another note, I have been stitching right along on Angel of Healing. I love the colors - I'm working on the yellows in the angel's gown. I'm moving towards the blue. I enjoy this stitchery much more.

The Psycho Next Door

Get this! He plays his stereo real loud with the speakers turned against my wall from 9 pm to 10 pm. Then he turns it off downstairs and goes upstairs and turns on the stereo turned against my bedroom wall and plays a tape of someone snoring on continuous loop all night long. He knows that I would call the police if it were music as he cannot play music loud after 10 pm but he would say that he was asleep and snoring if I called the police. Well I changed bedrooms and now I sleep in the bedroom that has a common wall to HIS bedroom. I make all kinds of noise getting ready for bed now and waking up. No courtsey with this psycho!
