Snow & new start..

I woke to snow yesterday; but the time the snow ended we had 6 inches, it's almost all gone today; living in Colorado is crazy; Wednesday it was 70 yesterday snow and 30 and today it was about 45. I think we have more snow coming in on Monday.

One of the cooks at work brought some strawberries into work and made a few of us ladies some little deserts; this is a picture of what he made for me; it's strawberry roses and then he cut up 3 other ones and put carmel & chocolate on them; it really made my day. I did share with one of the other girls who didn't get any. LOL. I wish I had a plate of them right now. I went to Captain D's and brought home some fish for dinner; I think it was a little too greasy for me. I can tell I'm getting PMS; cramps and the "bitch-mode" is slowly moving in..lol poor Kenny. I hope when I get my biopsy done; they will decide to do a hyster. (can't spell it)

I started this little spring picture last night, I still am working on the model; I should be able to get it in the mail to her Monday. I have a couple "goodie" boxes to get in the mail Monday. :) Hope everyone is able to get some stitching done this weekend..

TULSA

I can't believe it's time to post our TULSA again, this year is flying by, the older I get the faster time goes. I'll be 51 on Sunday...yuck..LOL Oh well. I've been doing my model stitching all day; I finished one and got about 1/4 done with the second, I hope to have it done by Thursday.

I went with Kenny to the hospital yesterday, he had to get some blood work done and while I was waiting I went by the little coffee shop and they had all these "goodies" that the girl had just put out; it was so hard to pick just one...I got the Raspberry treat, I only hate 1/2 and saved the rest of Kenny; it was soooo darn good. It should be for $2.00!! I didn't think they'd be that much; but at least it was good. :)

Not much else going on; I kind of got the "blahs" today, not quite sure why. I made Chili Mac for dinner and it was delicious; Kenny had 3 bowls. LOL I pack him some for his lunch tomorrow and I have enough for myself for lunch; I don't have to leave for work til 3:00 tomorrow; I get paid and can't get my check til 3, so I'll leave early and get my check and cash it, pay the electric and water and put the rest in my account; I have a $50 order ready to send off at 123 Stitch..:) Happy Birthday to me...LOL

A must have....

I went to Walmart after work yesterday and had to check out the magazines and came across this beauty! It's a "must have" girls, so hurry to Walmart and snatch this one up; it's a little expensive ($9.95) but soooooo worth it; I sat and looked at it for over an hour last night and am planning on looking & reading it today. I have my Grandma Brewsters hankies and have been wanting to do something special with them and when I saw the cover w/the curtains made from vintage hankies I knew I had to buy it; it's full of all kinds of neat ideas.

I did stitch some for the Hermit stitching, but I can't show any pictures (yet), I'm stitching a few models for Stitcher's Closet and can't share yet. But I sure am having fun stitching these, it's nice to stitch something other than Pumpkins & Christmas stuff, LOL Don't get me wrong I LOVE Halloween, it's prob my favorite holiday, but the brighter colours are such a relief.

I skyped with the girls this morning; as always we had a nice visit; I thank god for Skype, I don't know if I could make it with them in Germany without it. I'm off work today and tomorrow and switched shifts w/a girl at work so I am working nights Wednesday and don't have to be there til 4:30 Wednesday night. :) Kenny has a Dr. appt today so I guess I better get in the shower and get ready to go with him, maybe I can talk him into stopping at the Antique shops downtown, but prob not; I think I'll just wait and go alone tomorrow; he hurries thru. LOL

Happy Stitching....

Look what was waiting for me...

I won a giveaway by Marly at Samplers & Santas a week ago and came home from a very hard day at work to this wonderful surprise..:) She wrapped my charts in this cute tissue w/the cuties santa card attached. I'd won the 3 PS Santa books which I don't have any of them, and she was so sweet to include 3 other Santa patters, which I also don't have.. I absolutly LOVE all of them, now I have the hard task of choosing which one to stitch first..lol Thank you again Marly, your too sweet..

I work today and we were so busy. Which is a good thing. LOL I'm going to sit and stitch some now before I go to bed, I'm stitching a model so I can't post any stitchy pictures this weekend, I may stitch on something for myself also and if I do I'll post that..Hope everyone is being a "hermit" and stitching the weekend away; I think for the next hermit stitching weekend I'm going to request it off from work and just sit home and stitch all weekend; wouldn't it be nice to be able to go out of town and get a hotel room and just stitch all weekend..alone?? Humm, I may have to save up and do that for myself some weekend, or if anyone lives in Colorado and wants to join me we could meet up in Denver and go to LNS there and just stitch....any takers???

Hugs, Shar

A finish...

I wanted to stitch this with the lamb instead of the cardinal; but it was such a fun stitch I think I'm going to stitch it again w/the cardinal for my mom. I used Wisper thread in white for the lamb and really loved how it turned out. I wish I could take a better picture for you all to see how cute this turned out.

I'm stitching a couple models this weekend. Their really cute and I can't wait to stitch them; I'll post a picture when I can. I may stitch on my Feb Word Play also; I'll have to wait and see how much time I have.

Of course here are more pics of Scareltt, she's adorable; but of course I am her grandma. :) A very proud grandma.

Happy Valentines Day!!

A new start..

I decided to start my Feb Christmas Ornament. I think me and Shirlee are stitching the same one...lol You know what they say about "Great minds thinking alike"..I am watching the Grammys; I use to always watch them; but the past few years I have skipped them. I'm so sad about Whitney Houston dying; what a sad, sad loss. I was in my 20's in the 80's when she first became popular and loved her and her music. It's diffidently a sad day..

I was sitting here in my stitching chair last night working on my Feb Word Play and my new cat "Baby" crawled up here and fell asleep; I just love the way she sleeps on me..lol Kenny was off today and I worked; I came home and he washed the dishes & wash & dried and kind of put away 3 loads of clothes. LOL He doesn't fold "panties" LOL. But he did tell me he "honey I hung up your bras". (I dry them over the shower curtin)

I have to go for my mammogram in the morning; and then I think I may go downtown and check out the Antique shops; I haven't done that in a very long time and I really enjoy just walking around down there. Tomorrow is Ashley's birthday; I sure am having a hard time; it's only the 2nd one we've been apart for. It's so hard to let them grow up and "move on". That's enough of that; got myself crying again..lol This is an older picture of Scarlett & Ash, it's prob my favorite; I bought her this coat & hat at Dillards when they lived with me, she looks like a princess in it.

We were kind of slow today; that's fine with me; I'm so burnt out working. I wish I was the one person that won the $325 Millon lottery; but I guess you have to play to win...LOL Hope everyone is safe and stitching a lot..

Of Course another picture of Scarlett; She's so precious...
