I love baby feet...

Ashley sent me a few new pictures of Scarlett I had to share with you all. I did finally start something new. LOL It's just a little something for my mom and decided to do one for me; so when I'm all done I'll post a picture; it'll probabely be tomorrow; I'm going to "finish" them in Altoid tins; her's will be the larger one and mine is the smaller one.

I went to the Dr. today my hip is hurting and they gave me some pain pills and muscle relaxer. I talked to her about doing Gastric Bypass; I am about 60 lbs over weight and have to do something; my blood pressure is high and I'm on meds;I have been over weight since I had Ashley and I am over it; I go from a size 16 to 18 and was even a 24 at one point; I lost about 80 lbs about 5 years ago and have put 50 of it back on. I don't want to be skinny; just healthy; maybe a size 13; I'm 5'9 and "large boned" so I don't want to be 120 lbs; just not this heavy. Has anyone out there had this surgery? I go back July 12 to talk to my main Dr. I have to do something. I'm 50 and feel it's past time. :)

My brother's best friend was killed yesterday in a small plane accident; they have friends who own a small plane and guess the pilot made an error and was closer to the ground then he'd thought; he only has some broken bones; but it killed Douglas immediately. He's married w/3 little girls under 2; his wife just had twin girls in January; he was never without a smile and something sweet to say; he's such a nice guy. Life is so unfair sometimes; it makes you question things when someone so nice is taken and so many evil people are left. Please put his wife and girls in your prayers; they were such a happy couple; you could see and feel their love for each other when you were around them. Please hold your loved ones close; life is so precious.

A Great Give-a-way..

Barbara over at "To Stitch or Not to Stitch" is having an incredible give a way...I wish I could sew like she does....

Should I???

I want to start a new picture; never-mind the 2011 Crazy Challenge where I've only completed 1, LOL and the dozen others I have started; I have gotten some pretty cute new patterns lately and they are calling my name and I'm trying my hardest not to surcome to their calls and finish the ones I have started. LOL

I swear this "Cross Stitching" is a disease; I nice one thou. But once it gets in your blood stream your thru..LOL all common sence goes right out the window. When I first started stitching in 1984 I was "one of those" stitchers who only did one at a time and I did this for years; then I started slowly adding others and now I wonder if I'm a "Serial Starter"?? LOL How about you all? Do you have to have more than one going at a time?

We finally have rain!! It's been raining since in the middle of the night, I woke to thunder and lightening and laid their watching it light up my window for the longest time; Kenny is out job hunting again; he goes out everyday and I sure hope someone calls soon, it's only been 2 weeks. He thought he had one at the local newspaper; but they said to call back next Monday. So, we'll see. I'm off today and tomorrow, I have my nightgows & robe in the washer and I guess I'll do the rest of the laundry; or should I just sit on my behind and stitch while it's so nice and quiet?? Ok, I'll stitch; at least I took a shower today. :) Hope everyone has a great day..

Stash & I gotta get caught up...

I recieved my latest order from DSL and part 2 of Birds of a Feather. I can't wait to do it; but I have to finish part 1 first. I stitched on it for a little over an hour last night, I probabley won't stitch tonight; I worked a double today and I just want to shower and go to bed. Tomorrow is my "Friday"; I don't have any plans for Monday or Tuesday so maybe I can get the boarder done or at least close to it.

I love this Cherry Hill design; I don't know exactly when I'll get to it; I just added it to my ever growing stash pile. LOL And I want to get all the CC, GA, WDW colours (someday); so for now I just order a few at a time and my threads stash is growing pretty good. When Stitching Bits & Bobs has their sale and their only about $1.68 each I usually get about 20 of them. Hope everyone has a nice evening. I'm going to go shower and hit the sack...:)

Just to say hi..

I'm going to have an extremely busy weekend and just wanted to say hi, I probabley won't be blogging much this weekend; I have to work a double tomorrow and Saturday and then work Father's Day. Since I lost my dad almost 6 years ago; I really don't celebrate the day; I couldn't even work it until last year; I thought if I can't wish my dad a HFD then I'm not wishing anyone else one.

On the stitching front; I'm still working on Birds of a Feathers Mystery Stitch; I should get part 2 tomorrow; I ordered it I believe on Monday. I'm about 1/2 way done with part 1; it's just been too damn hot here to even stitch at night. Our A/C hasn't been working very well; and it was over 95 yesterday and suppose to be 101 today. I HATE HOT WEATHER!! I wish I knew where I could live where it's about 55-65 all year round. LOL Hope everyone has a safe a HFD with the men you love. :)

A little stitching & Scarlett..

I have a little more stitched on my Mystery Stitch than is in this photo; I just haven't updated the picture; I'll do that tomorrow; I'm off tomorrow and plan on just colouring my hair and stitching. :) Nature keeps trying to change my hair colour and I disagree!! LOL

Me & Kenny went to the mall; I had to go to Joann's and get some floss. Then we went to Country Buffet for lunch; I spent $3 trying to get a "Steelers" sticker out of the stupid machine and never did :(. Then we just came on home. He's been here a week and has a job interview at the local newspaper; were keeping our fingers crossed they hire him; jobs are so tough; I know I complain about mine a lot, but I'm thankful to have it.

Ashley sent me some pictures of Scarlett; she's eatting some cake and I thought it was cute; and here she is in her first cowgirl hat. I miss her so very, very much. I finally finished Heather's "Important Box", it turned out pretty nice; I loved using the chenille trim; it was so easy to work with and turned out good I think. I think I'm going to go and stitch some before bedtime. Hope everyone is well.

TULSA, Stitching & Sad News..

Kenny arrived Friday; it's been kind of "different"; we'll just give it some time. Then Saturday night I was in the shower and heard my dog barking so I got out and Kenny was outside w/our neighbor (it was like 11:30 p.m.) and came up holding our cat "Mickey"; he'd been hit and killed by a car and they never even stopped or looked for the owner :( We've had him since he was born, he didnt have a tail at all!!! And had quite the personality. LOL I miss him dearly and cried almost all night and still get tears; I'm so thankful Kenny was here to get him out of the road and bury him for me. It's so funny how attached to our pets we get.

On the stitching front, I stitched a lot on my "Home of a Needleworker 2 on Saturday night (before I knew about Mickey) and I have my Birds of a Feather ready to begin today; I can't wait to get it started; I'd run out of CC's "Weeping Willow" for Home of a Needleworker and ordered another one from 123 Stitch and it came Saturday and is totally different; I'm not quite sure how I'm going to use it now, it looks like a totally different colour. (frown)

Sorry I'm late on posting my TUSAL... Hope everyone has a good week; it's so darn dry and hot here in Pueblo, Colorado; I'm hating life and will be for the next few months; I HATE summer!! and the hot weather...YUCK!!
