HUMMMMMMM

I sure don't feel like going to work today; it's all cloudy and looks like rain; a perfect day to sit and stitch all day; but I have been putting some money back because I haven't bought any new stash since APRIL!! And I can't stand it anylonger; so I'm planning a trip to my LNS on Wednesday and have an order ready for 123stitch if I don't find what I want at my LNS. :)

Scarlett and Ashley will be here on Tuesday my SIL finally got housing in Germany and the girls can join him now. She has to come here to make arrangements for the movers etc. She's so excited. No stitching news today; hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures of LK Hallween Rules tomorrow.

Have a great day!!!

Rooster Party!!!

I love Blogging; you come across such fun stuff. :) I'm joining Sheila at Note Songs for her Rooster Party..I have always loved chickens & roosters; I think I get it from my Grandma Brewster. They lived on a dairy farm and I remember spendig summers there when I was little. And visiting all the different ladies that are joining this Rooster Party has brought back some pretty wonderful memories.

Thank you Sheila for having such a fun party...

Shame on you Kathy...LOL

I was just putting all my goodies away and didn't notice the "frog" Kathy had attached to the great stitching bag. LOL I love him..and am gonna keep him on my TULSA jar to keep the "REAL FROGGING" away. :) I have my candle burning and it is making my home smell wonderful..Thank you again Kathy.

I stitched a lot yesterday on my Halloween Rules by LK. It's really a fun stitch; I'm still going to switch it up a little, I can't wait to share with you when I'm all done..I am off work again today and am going to just relax and stitch away my afternoon. I did all the cleaning yesterday and it's nice and quiet here.

Early Christmas...Thanks Kathy!!

I won Kathy & Rory's birthday drawing and I got my "presents" today..Thank you so very much Kathy; you really-really made my day!! I had such fun opening all the packages; Kenny said I looked like a little girl on Christmas and I felt like it. I love the material and threads, I just was going to have to order some needles..LOL Your a sweetheart hun (Rory too) Thank you from the bottom of my heart...

Here's a picture of Scarett that Ashley sent me today; I was off work and Kenny got a job and had to go do his paperwork today; so I cleaned, washed rugs, mopped the floors etc..and then stitched for a few hours on my LK Halloween Rules, sitting watching for the mailman because I knew Kathy had sent my package out. LOL And of course he (mailman) gets here around 11:30 and today we had a sub. who got here around 4..:( LOL I'm going to go play with my new stash..Thank you again Rory and Kathy..your the best...

A new start...:)

Well, I couldn't help it; I had to start something new..LOL I decided on LK's Halloween Rules. I LOVE this picture and may stitch it a little different; I'll have to wait and see; I have an "idea" thou..LOL I stitched on it for a few hours last night; I really love this material; I can't remember where I got it from; I believe it was from a giveaway I'd won a while ago; it's 28 count and after I started stitching the stitches are a little bigger than I thought; but I'm gonna keep on going; I love the colour w/the threads.

Here's a few new pictures of Scarlett; her and Ashley are at my moms house in Ohio for a few weeks for vacation. She's getting so big; she'll be 1 the 17th of this month.

Hope everyone is getting some R&R and lots of stitching done. Is anyone planning on going to the Celebration of Needlework in St. Louis this Sept 15-19th? I'm going to really try to make it; we'll see how the money situation goes.

B O L O G N A.....

This is why you never take a man grocery shopping with you; yesterday I said I was going to the grocery store and Kenny said he wanted to go with me; he had hernia surgery on Friday and was getting "cabin fever", our local store (King Soopers) had Oscar Mayer Bologna on sale 10 for $10; so he decided we needed 10 packs of bologna because it was a great buy and we could freeze it. LOL So, we will be eatting bologna & cheese sandwiches for the next 6 months...LOL.

I am sad I won't make the cut off date to enter my BOF Mystery Stitch; I thought the deadline to enter in the Colorado State Fair is Aug 15, but it's Aug 5, this Friday and theres NO WAY I could have it done by then; maybe next year. I hope you don't mind but I copied Edgars idea and made my S red. :) Well I gotta run off to work. Today is my Monday. :(

I always feel like I need a few more days off. Hopefully I'm going to Celebration of Needlework in St.Louis the 15th of Sept. I'm keeping my fingers crossed me and my mom can meet there. I sure am fighting the urge to buy some stash; it's killing me; I haven't had anything new since April!!! I can feel a "splurge" coming on...LOL

A great giveaway...

"Sweet Pea Cottage" is having a wonderful giveaway; she has a very cute blog...
