Rainy Thursday

As usual when I have a day off it either rains or is so hot you can't leave the air conditioner. Today I have to take my mom to the eye doctor. Any time she goes by herself they dialate her eyes. So I just make it a practice to go with her. Tonight Aimee registers for her freshmen year in HS. It is killing me to think that she is this old. Tomorrow night she is going with her boyfriend (how did this happen) to see the batman movie. Not sure what thrills her the most, going out with her boyfriend or seeing the movie. :-)

As promised here are some updated pics of my WIPs. First up is SMO Frosty Snowman.



Next is MBT The Name of God.



I have to work tomorrow and Sat. so I should be able to get some more done on Frosty Snowman during lunch. Hopefully I can get some in on The Name of God tonight after freshmen registration.

I got some S.E.X. in the mail yesterday. I got the following charts:
1) Cherry Hill by Country Cottage Needleworks
2) Britty Bunny by Brittercup Designs
3) Espresso by Angel Stitchin
4) Pirate's Creed by Sue Hillis Designs
5) Spooky Critters I & II by Brooke's Books Publishing
6) Essence of Coffee by Lynne Nicoletti
7) A Window of Hope by Indigo Rose
8) A Flip-Flop Heart by Sekas & Co.

Plus I ordered a couple of more charts that should be in early next week. Now I need to buy some cresent colors floss so I can get started on some of the new stuff.

Gotta get ready. Have a blessed day!

Little stitching

I have been able to get a little stitching in over the past couple of days. I have had a terrible headache that wouldn't go away. Made several mistakes on MBT The Name of God before I decided I shouldn't stitch any more. Hope fully in the morning I can post some update pics of my two WIPs.

We have had some rain through the area and more to come. Gotta go batten down the hatches.

Have a blessed day.

Finally a chance for an update

I have finally been able to take some new pics of one finish and a couple of WIPs. Didn't have much time for anything last week with the summer festival. It was so hot down town. We had a storm move through on Thursday and Friday evening. Thursday night was so bad it ripped the tent and flipped it over. Friday was terrible lightening and they shut the festival down. Just glad that is over for another year.

Here are the updated pics. First is MBT The Name of God. I am so loving stitching on this one.



Next is SMO Frosty Snowman Card. This one will be a quick stitch if I can get some time to work on it.



Finally is my finish of a beach chair. This is one of those 1.00 kits from Michaels.



Have a blessed day.

Summer Festival

Our summer festival starts today and the shop will have a booth there all weekend which of course I have to work. Won't be much time for blog updates until Sunday. I have been stitching at night on MBT The Name of God so I should have a good update pic on Sunday.

Everyone try to stay cool and have a blessed week.

Rainy Tuesday Morning

Good Morning all. With band camp still going on, I am getting back into a routine of dropping the kids off and then having some computer time before work. In other words, I am up by 6:30 instead of 9:00. :-) I do enjoy the quite time before work once every one is gone for the day but at the same time, I miss having the kiddos around all the time. Just two weeks and school starts back. Where did the summer go?

I had to work 12-6 yesterday so during the slow times I worked a little on my new take along project. It is Frosty Snowman by San-Man Originals. This little guy once done will also be an ornament for my snowman tree. The first pic is what the design will look like finished.



Here is what I stitched yesterday. Remember I just started it.



Again sorry for the terrible pics. Aimee has camera with her and this came off the blackberry.

The Paducah Summer festival starts tomorrow and I get to work downtown in the heat Wed-Sat. Yipee!!!!!!!! NOT I set up tomorrow at 9 then go back to the store for a couple of hours, then off to the festival to work until five or so. Then Thursday I open the store at 10 and work until 2, then work the festival from 3 to 9:30. Friday I work at the store 10-12 and then 12-4 at the festival. And finally on Sat. I work 10-10 at the festival. I'll be glad when this week is over.

Gotta get ready for work. Have a blessed day.

Finally got some pics to upload

Aimee took her camera with her to band camp today so all these pics were taken with my blackberry. Not the best pics but still some pics.

First is an ornament finish. This one is by Mary Engelbrite. I got it last year at Michaels for a buck. There was suppose to be a ton of french knots for snow in the background. I decided it didn't need it. So here it is. Happy Face Snowman



Next is a SanMan Original from the secret shop. I actually stitched this one twice. The first one is on 28 count over two and will be made into an ornament.



The next one I stitched over one on 28 count to fit into this cute ornament frame.



Next is a Dimensions kit. I have done several of these and hope to buy a large silver frame put black foam core board in it and use jeweled push pins and frame all of these together in one. Here is Flip Flops.



As you know, I love snowmen. I found this little kit at a flea market and stitched it up in one day. It is a keychain.



Here is a pic of the flip flops I did for my niece about a month ago.



Finally here is an updated WIP of The Name of God by MBT. I have started on page two and am really enjoying stitching on this.



Now I need to go get ready for work. Everyone have a blessed day.

What a Sunday

We survived the night. Just barely. About 1:30 this morning, Will came in the room where we were sleeping and woke us up. When asked what he was doing he said, getting out of here. Sounds like he was up to no good. Which was exactly what he was. He was getting the bag full of candy so they could pig out on it. Needless to say they were told to GO TO BED NOW!!!!!!!!

Spent all afternoon in the ER with Aimee. She was playing football with the boys yesterday and hurt her finger. The whole thing was black. We were sure if it was jammed or broken. Thankfully just jammed. But every person (doc included) that looked at it said Yuck, it is not suppose to look like that. She is in a splint for the next 3 days. So much fun since she has band camp and she plays the trumpet.

Hopefully, I will get some pics uploaded in the morning. Kiddos have band camp at 8 and I don't have to be at work until noon.

Have a blessed day.

Start a new week tomorrow

Let's see if I can get myself back on track beginning tomorrow with posting on this blog. We had a party today for my son. He turned 13 a couple of weeks ago. I still have three boys here tonight. Pray for me. :-) I have completed several books and stitching since my last post. I will try to get those pics up tomorrow too. Gonna try to shut the boys down and get some sleep. Church is early in the morning.

Have a blessed day.
