Vegas Baby.. :)

Not much stitching last week; I met my daughter and her friends in Vegas.. We had front row seats to see Backstreet Boys. I have been taking Ash to see them since she was 13, she bought these tickets. lol We stayed at Excalibur and had an amazing 3 days. I took two things to stitch on and never opened the project bags.. Kevin is my favorite BSB, he came over and held my hand and sung to me...it was pretty amazing.. Trying to catch up at work now from being gone. Just booked my flight to go home to see my mom May 9-18th.. I can't wait to see her. Hope everyone is having a great week and getting lots of stitching done..

Blah....

Not much stitching going on this week.. :( Me and my BF of 5 years broke up, he said his "feelings changed", (for about the 10th time in 5 years).. For being a intelligent woman, when it comes to this man I'm the stupidest person on the earth!! I came home from work Tuesday and he had brought his keys back and left them on the counter (we didn't live together). That hurt so much.. but he's done that once before, then came back after 2 weeks. I need to just say NO when he comes back, and everyone says he will be back. It's a pattern.. :( Enough of this stuff.. hope everyone is doing well and getting lots of stitching done. When I have stitched, I am still working on the ABC's of Winter.. I just can't get into this like I did when I started it. It looks really good and is a cute pattern, I just can't get into it, and I want to finish it before starting a new one. I've ordered "TOO MUCH" stash this past week.. emotional shopping is the most dangerous.. lol and believe me I've done a LOT of that.. I need to stop, as I paid for a ebay order I won.. I am on the hunt for two Prairie Schooler patterns, Daffodils (March) & April. Their OOP, but I hope I can find someone who is willing to sell/trade/lend me a copy. You all know that feeling when were looking for a pattern and can't find it.. I think I'm losing my mind..lol I hope to go to a stitch-in tomorrow from 11-4 and hopefully get a good bit done on this ABC pattern. I'm ready to start stitching Spring stuff, done with stitching winter, I think that's why I can't seem to get into finishing this.

I'm still here...

Hi, Hope everyone is doing well & enjoying the winter weather. It's cold and snowy here in Denver.. but I guess it's suppose to be this way now. I don't mind, I love the snow and cooler weather, I just don't care for driving in it too much. I'm a good driver, it's other's I worry about. I've been stitching A LOT!! I'm doing Farm Girls #stitch9challenge, and still working on other projects as well. I know this is kind of short; hopefully I'll post more often.. The girls and grand babies are all doing well.. :)

I was MIA for a bit...

Hi, hope everyone is doing well; I've just been so busy with working and just life in general that I have been a bad blogger.. At my job; I was a server for 8 years with Black-eyed Pea, they approached me and asked if I wanted to be a manager, I thought about it and even though the hours are longer at my age (56), it was time for a change and even though I have days I want to go back to serving; I'm happy doing this; at least for now. My mom is still battling stage 4 lung cancer; she's in Ohio and I'm in Colorado; so it's very hard and at times I think of moving back home; which I still may do; we will see what her MRI looks like on the 4th of October; so far the chemo pill is stopping it from spreading. She's always been my best friend and we talk everyday. Please keep her in your prayers. I've been stitching a LOT, I lost my stitchy bug for a while, but I found it again and have been stitching up a storm.. My grandbabies are doing good; their in Texas and I miss them so much; we do see each other twice a year; I flew out over the 4th of July and their coming here Oct 15, I may go for a few days over Christmas I haven't decided yet; I'd love to go see my mom.. Take care...

Can anyone help me find this pattern please?

I just saw this pattern today and fell in love with it, my mom just went thru chemo and radiation for lung cancer; which she got from 2nd hand smoke from my grandpa and dads heavy smoking over the years; she just found out Friday that the cancer is still there; but it isn't spreading, so they are going to keep an eye on it, the chemo and radiation was vey hard on her; and the location of the cancer is in the lymphoid on her left lung, too close to the heart to operate. I have faith that she will be able to live many more years, healthy.. I know this pattern is an OOP and was a special offering, but if anyone has it and would lend it to me or even sell/trade so I can stitch it for my mom for Christmas I would be very appreciative...

I'm baaacccckkkk...

I've been away from my blog for sometime now; my computer took a dive a few years ago and I went out and bought a tablet and thought that would be ok to use for a while, well it was ok for a bit, but I had to have a computer and finally went out and got myself a nice new Dell..now I need to go buy a new camera and I will be all set up and ready to start posting pictures of my stitching, but I have found that since getting said computer, my stitching has taken a little bit of the back seat..I have some new things going on in my life since we last visited.. I am stitching Let Freedom Ring and loving it... Ashley and the grandbabies are doing well in Texas, she wanted to get good Garth Brooks tickets for when he comes to San Antonio later in the month; so the day they went on sale she had her computer, IPhone and her hubbies computer all set up to buy tickets; and I had my IPhone and Ipad ready as well, so when they went on sale we were off...lol we had fun trying to get the best seats we could and she was so thrilled when she was able to get 5th row from the stage seats..when Garth came to Denver last year she flew out here and her and me and my oldest daughter Heather went and we had a blast...so she invited me to go with her in San Antonio and I jumped at the chance; and bought my plane ticket so I will be in Texas seeing Garth and my grandbabies.. Life doesn't get much better than that.. I have been working for the Black-eyed Pea restaurant for 9 going on 10 years now as a server, well I am 55 years old and single and I just needed something more steady (pay wise), one day i'd make $85 and the next it could be $25, and I needed a change; so I talked with my general manager and district manager and decided to go for management in April I started my training and now I am a manager and I do like the pay and benefits, but the long hours are tough. but it was a good change, I was able to get myself a newer car; I ended up getting a 2013 KIA Forte and I LOVE IT!! Hope everyone is well.

I got the "blahs"...

I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining, but I guess in reality I am..lol I've been working so hard to get a manager position at my job and I was to have my interview with the owner of the company this morning, so I got all dressed up in my best outfit and arrived early, only to be told that he had something "come up" and couldn't make the meeting, so I met with the District Manager and Office Manager, I think it went well. They said they'd let me know before Monday. I came home and swore I was going to get some serious stitching done, well, that didn't go as planned, I stitched for an hour and came to a point where I realized I'm one line off..so do I undo all I've done or just go with it, which is what I am probably going to do; since it's just for me and it's not an issue yet. My mom had lung cancer 2 years ago, and they removed the middle portion of her right lung, she got cancer from 2nd hand smoke, she's never smoked her whole life. My dad was a heavy smoker. She went for her 4 month check-up and another spot showed up, so they gave her a pep scan and another spot showed, their both in her lipoids, they removed the spot on her left lung, but can't get to the other one unless they remove the whole right lung, so their going to put her thru radiation/chemo, my mom lives in Ohio with my Step-dad. I live in Colorado. Things are just rough right now and I had to vent.. Thanks for listening my friends...
