I have been busy

finishing several of my cross stitch pieces into pillows and ornaments. Hopefully I can take some pics tonight and post them in the morning. I really want to use DDs camera to take the pics instead of my phone. Right now I have finished one pillow, one bellpull, and two ornaments. I have two ornaments and one pillow to go and then all my projects that need to be sewn will be done for a while. I have about three pieces left to frame. I hope to work those into the budget before years ends.

Busy week this week. Have to work two nights and then two days only off on Wed. DH is flying out tomorrow so my mom is coming to help get the kids to and from school and band practice. Friday, we go and get Ezra once DH lands in Paducah. Saturday we are taking Ezra to see Elmo's Green Thumb and then Monday the kiddos march in the parade. The next three months is non stop band competions, after school rehersals, and choir also for Will. I may be nuts before Christmas. LOL!

Have a blessed day!

Beautiful Wednesday Morning

Good Morning. Today is going to be another beautiful day. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We had a great weekend visiting friends in M'ville on Saturday. We were not home much on Sunday and then I am guilty of watching waaaaaaaaay to much of the olympics. I am staying up way to late and then sleeping in until nearly work time the next morning.

I have been able to get some stitching in during the olympics though. Here is a couple of udpated pics of MBT The Name of God. The first pic is an overall view of what I have done on the sampler.



Next is a pic of what I have done during the games.



I have also started a new book. Chocolate Frog Frame Up by Joanna Carl. Shaping up to be another great read.



Well I am off to read, stitch on my snowman oranament from San-Man Originals and do some laundry. Everyone have a blessed day.

A couple of finishes

Yesterday was wonderful. The house was so quite from 7-5 (DH worked over and the kiddos had marching band until 5) It was scary it was so quite. I did some laundry, laid around, read, fixed dinner, baked some brownies, and pulled out the sewing machine.

Now you have to understand, my sewing machine and I have a love/hate relationship. I love it. It hates me. I had to call my mom on the phone and have her walk me through the settings because they had gotten screwed up and I haven't found the book since the move. Once I got the darn thing where I needed it to be I got to sewing.

I finally finished my Butterflies by Black Swan into a wall hanging. The stitching has been done for over a year and I have had the material at least that long. Anyway here is a pic of the finished piece. (Now be nice)



I also put my beach chair into its frame yesterday.



Finally before going to bed last night I did get a little stitching in on MBT sampler. Here is a pic of the stitching I did on it last night. Hope to get a lot done tonight while watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.



Off to get ready for work. Have a blessed day!

YEAHHHH School started today

I know, I know. I'm terrible. But it is so quite now at the house. No fussing or whining about nothing to do. Dropped Will off at the middle school and Aimee at the high school came home got a cup of coffee and just sat and listened to the quite. LOL!

Still have no stitching done. I have doing some reading. I had several books on hold at the library and they are finally coming in. Last week I finished reading "Twenty Wishes" by Debbie Macomber. It was another good read by her. I love her Blossom Street books. You should check it out and read it.




Monday, I finished reading "Fearless Fourteen" by Janet Evanovich. What can I say. I laughed until I cried. I just love the Plum family. A must read!



Now I am reading "Zapped" by Carol Higgins Clark. Her newest Regan Rielly mystery. Just got it last night but looks to be a quick and fun read.



I almost forgot I also picked up some books from the used book sale at the library. I read James Patterson "Step On A Crack". Looks to be another good series from him. It held me to the end. I knew it was an inside job but never did figure it out.


Also read "Sisterchicks Go Brit!" by Robin Jones Gunn. I love these books. I read this one in one setting. Can't wait for the next.



What books do you like to read? Post some here and I will add them to my ever growing reading list.

Gotta get ready for work. Have a blessed day.

No Stitching

I haven't been stitching lately. Hopefully I will get back to it sometime this week. I have to take Will for registration today. He will be in 8th grade. School starts back on Wednesday. Maybe we can all get into a routine again.

Need to do some laundry before we head out. Have a blessed day!
