Pics of our trip, stitching and stuff...:)

We had a great trip; the weather was good we only ran into a little rain on the way home. We took pictures of everything. LOL And of course grandma took lots of pictures of Scarlett; she's 3 months old and getting so big; she's "cooing" and making all kinds of cute sounds. I have tears in my eyes all the time. LOL Their happy ones. The "stash" picture is the gift I recieved from Terri Hall; she is so sweet. And I had started this picture a while ago and just finished it when I was home. I'm going to start working on Christmas stuff now. No more pumpkins. LOL

The church is where my mom and dad were married; and this is my mom holding Scarlett.

Thank you Terri Hall..

I just got home from my mom's in Ohio last night and went to get our mail; and there was a package from Terri, I was so surprised and HAPPY!!! Terri had a wonderful giveaway on Halloween and I thought I had won, I emailed Terri and it was another S. Smith that won (just my luck) LOL; well, Terri said she felt bad because I misunderstood and was so excited when I thought it was me; she sent me a little goodie package; I will post a picture of it later when I download the pics from my camera from our trip. Thank you so much Terri; I can't find your email right now but wanted to thank you so much; I LOVE everything!!! and don't have any of the charts your sent; and love the necklace, it's beautiful.

We had a good trip and it was so nice to see my family; I am seriously considering moving back to Ohio this spring; to be closer to my mom and brother and sister in law; Ashley is moving in March; we don't know where yet; he hubby doesn't have his orders; he is just finishing boot camp from the Army. I have several pictures to share; I was able to stitch a little while I was home. I inheriated (spelled wrong I'm sure) LOL my Aunt Lee's sewing machine and I don't didn't have one, I was able to bring it home. I can't wait to get it out and start finishing some of the designs I've stitched to make into pillows. :)

Thank you again Terri; your very thoughtful.

Gonna be gone...

Me, Ashley and little Scarlett are driving to my mom's tomorrow. Were driving from Colorado to Ohio. :) We have done it twice before so it shouldn't be bad. I don't mind driving; traveling with a baby and all the "crap" you have to take it's just cheaper to drive. I can't imange hauling everything in the airport and beside I'm terrified of flying. Haven't flown since 1996 and don't care if I ever do again. LOL I will miss reading all your blogs;; my mom doesn't have a internet. We'll be back between the 12 and 15th.

Hugs, Sharlene

New Stash...

Hi, getting ready to leave for my mom's on Wednesday morning. Wish us luck; traveling that far with a 2 month old baby. LOL I think we'll be fine; she's a real good baby. I love ordering from 123 stitch; they always send out things so fast and it's always packaged so nicely. I have another order ready to send them; but since I'm going to be gone I think I'll wait till I get home.

When I'm able to I'll post my LK exchange piece. It turned out real cute.

Hugs, Shar

Happy Halloween!!

Hi, Happy Halloween everyone. Hope everyone's having a fun and save day/night. We haven't had any trick or treaters. So I guess I'm stuck eatting the Milky Ways. LOL
Me, Ash and Scarlett leave for my mom's on Wednesday morning. Were driving from Colorado to Ohio. I don't mind the drive; we have a nice car. I haven't been home since I lost my dad 5 years ago.

I finished my LK exchange today and it turned out so cute; I have to make myself one now. :) I'll post a picture when she recieves it. I hope she likes it. Here's a picture of Scarlett in her "costume". She's so precious. I love being a grandma. I probabley won't be posting much for the next few weeks; my mom doesn't have internet but my brother does.

Hugs, Shar

More pictures of Scarlett...

I did stitch some today; I started my LK exchange; it's so cute and won't take me long to finish; I'm off work the next two days and besides running some errands tomorrow I'm going to be housebound and do nothing but stitch and make a pot of homemade chili that will cook on the stove all day... YUMMY

Well, here are the newest pictures of Scarlett; she's starting to coo and trying to make noises when we talk to her. Yes, grandma is a Steeler's fan. :) I'm having such fun with her. I love being a grandma so much. My grandson is almost 15 his name is Hayden. He's my "boo". that's a nick name I gave him when he was little; he tells me he's too big to be called that and I tell him he'll never be too big. LOL I think I'm going to go shower and then stitch some; I'm not tired and don't have to get up early.

I was bad and sent another order into 123 Stitch this morning for some more stash, 2 patterns and about 4 more CC, and 2 GA. Not too bad I guess it could have been worse. LOL

Good Morning...

Good Morning all!! Ashley and Scarlett went to Denver today to stay with some friends and it was way too quiet in here last night. I was going to stitch all night; but never picked up a needle; I played on the computer and just relaxed. I'm DVRing some old classic movies today; the origional Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman and Wolfman meets Frankenstein. I've never had a DVR before and LOVE it!! I've been a taping fool. LOL

I LOVE the old Andy Griffith show; but ONLY the black/white ones w/barney. I don't like the coloured ones. I have about 15 of those taped and watch them when I'm alone and stitching. Ashley hates them. LOL But it's a classic I think. I have to work today and sure don't feel like it. Would love to just enjoy my day. I work a double today and won't be home til about 9 tonight; it makes for a long day. Here are some pictures of my two tuck pillows; I change them every month.
