Not a good day at all!!

Well, yesterday Kenny used my car because his car is in the shop getting a new motor; he took our dog down to the river to swim; like we always do, he parked in the designated parking area and when he left to come pick me up from work; someone had broken the passenger window; cracked my windshield w/ a rock and stole his wallet and pack of cigs that were under the driver seat. Why someone would do something so senceless is beyond my understanding. It's going to cost us $375 to fix the windows; my insurance deduct. is $500 so that doesn't help me out; but he won't ever replace the pictures of his kids and grandkids.

I stayed up til 1:00 putting "death curses" on the punks that did this. LOL; well, maybe not "death" but hateful things. I'm sure if Kenny would have caught them what I have planned for them would have been a walk in the park. Kennys a big guy; 6'5, 250lbs. He was pretty mad; I cried; as us women do when something like this happens; so I won't be buying any new stash for a while now. :( That's enough to make me cry again.

"Friendship" SAL Update

This is my first SAL. :) I've been stitching all day... I worked on my model piece all afternoon and then I made supper; Ashley and her DH came over and ate and visited a little and then I started my SAL; now it's bedtime. My eyes need a break. LOL

Can't believe it's August already!!!

Where has this year gone too? Time to make out the bills for this month and barely just got done paying last months. LOL It's a never ending cycle isn't it? We had a little surprise baby shower last night for Ashley; it was nice. I'm off work today and don't know for sure what I'm going to do yet? I need to clean the bathroom and mop the kitchen; as for stitching; well I've been stitching this model for a designer and made a mistake and had to "frog" about 6 rows (twice) on Saturday; so needless to say I haven't stitched this weekend. I was so discouraged; I'm having a real hard time with the fabric; I'm not sure what count it is; they didn't tell me; but it's so hard to see. I am suppose to start a SAL from one of my Yahoo groups; so maybe I'll work on that today. Hope everyone's having a great summer.

I'm bored...

Well another slow day at work; hopefully it'll be busier tomorrow. I need to make a car payment and cable payment. This year is going by so darn fast; it's almost August already; where has this year gone to? I'll be 50 in 7 months. :( LOL. I sure don't feel like an old wine that gets better with age. LOL I finished my little blackbird last night. I think he turned out cute; I need to work on a model I'm stitching for a designer and I have to do a "fall stocking" for someone in my blackbird yahoo group. I can't wait to do that one!! I mailed off my LK exchange gift and will post a picture as soon as I can. She should receive it by Thursday or Friday. I hope she likes it; I'm just learning how to "finish" my work in different ways than framing. It's fun; My mom is coming to visit over Labor Day and bringing me my Aunt Lee's sewing machine; so I'll be a "pillow making fool".. LOL I think I'll go start my stocking. I need better light to stitch the model;

Just relaxing and stitching a little.

Off work today and just spending a little time getting some R&R; I started stitching Bent Creek's Red Winged Blackbird. I've wanted to do this for some time now and decided to stitch it real quick today; I'm not quite sure how I'm going to finish it? Any ideas?? Things are a little tense around the house; I just wish Aug 7 would hurry and get here; I want Kenny to leave and want to be alone until Ash & Scarlett move in, this September; then who knows when I'll have alone time. LOL No complaints though; I can't wait for my new granddaughter to get here. I haven't "loved" on a baby for so long. There's nothing like holding a precious little angle while they sleep. :) COME ON SCARLETT; GRANDMA'S WAITING!!! xo

2 Finishes

Last night I finished my RR w/a Halloween theme; and my LK gift exchange; now I just have to finish the LK piece and I'm not quite sure what I"'m going to do? I have to mail it out by the 1st so I best get busy. I'm off work tomorrow and Friday; Friday me and Ash are going to Spings, she got a gift cert. for Babies R Us and she needs some bibs and lotion and a newborn binkie; I never realized they are made for different ages. LOL it's been a while since I've bought one. LOL and I'm going to try my hardest to stay out of my LNS!! Lord knows I went a little over board the past few weeks buying stash. LOL I have to rebuild my stash; I lost about 75% of it a few years ago when we moved; that was the one box that was left. and I couldn't get it back; I cried for days. Well, gotta go get ready for work; hope were busy so I make lots of money. :)

Last bit of Stash!!

I ordered this about 2 weeks ago and just go it today. I love the threads and can't wait to use them. Not much else going on. Ash is hating the heat and being 8 months preg. It's been so hot here in Colorado. I've decided that me and Kenny need to go our separate ways; I told him last night; and I don't know what it is about men; but a few hours later he's acting like nothing happened. LOL Were just two different people and I want to be alone; I'm happier that way; and in Sept. when my son in law leaves for boot camp; Ashley and Scarlett are moving in with me; and will be with me until he gets backs in November then he leaves again for schooling and won't be back til March and then I believe I"m going to move to Ohio and live w/my mom; I miss her and want to spend the time she has left on this earth with her; which I hope is a very long time. I'm okay w/me and Kenny breaking up; it's my choice and I"m sure it's what's best for both of us.
