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.

More Stash!!

I ordered the chart and threads I needed for a "Friendship" stitch a long I'm going to join in one of my Yahoo Groups. :) This will be my first SAL and I wish we were starting now. LOL Today was Ash's baby shower. It was very nice; she received a lot of nice things for the baby. Now, I'm going to just kick back and relax and get some stitching done; I"m working on my Lizzie Kate exchange; I need to get it out soon; it's going to be so cute.

More Stash!!!

I came home from work and received another package from 123 stitch. I went a little crazy the past couple of weeks buying stash. LOL I do this a few times a year and I guess it's time. LOL I'm done now for a while; I have baby stuff to buy now. Work sucked today; everyone was tipping so bad!!! If you can't afford to tip at least 18%then your ass doesn't need to go out and eat. People run you like crazy and laugh and talk to you and then leave you $2; really???? We only make $4.21 per hour folks. Well, I guess I've ranted enough. Sorry guys. LoL, gonna go stitch before supper. I'm starving I think I'll cook first.

Finished Scarlett's bib

I worked til 4 then came home; I stopped by KFC and picked up a couple of their $2.99Chicken Fried Steak meals for supper and we ate, Kenny doesn't feel well; so he went into lay down and fell asleep, so I was able to finish a little bib while watching "Ya Ya Sisterhood" I love this movie. I'm not tired so I'm going to work on my Lizzie Kate exchange; I'm waiting on some threads from a shop I'd ordered weeks ago, and their still not here; so I'm going to just change a few of the colours; I have to get it out by the end of the month.
