Finally a finish....

I finally finished "Baby It's Cold Outside" and I have to say if your looking at this one to stitch please do. It was such a fun piece. Even thou I did have a spell where I lost my stitching "mo-jo". But it hasn't effected my wanting new stash...lol I really enjoyed stitching this, I need to take it and get it framed soon. I know the type of frame I want now I just have to find one. I came across the March Word Play I'd started last year; well I don't really think you can call it a "start" really, I'd stitched about 13 stitches on in and put it down for some unknown reason..LOL So I picked it up and started it again. I went to grab my camera and take a picture of it and something had been spilled on the table where I sat my camera down and got on my camera so now I can't get it to take any pictures. I'm recharging it and hopeing that maybe the battery is just dead and the camera isn't done for; I'll be sad. But I will have to go out and get another one. I'd taken these pictures and downloaded the last week of Feb. I haven't been in the mood to do much of anything lately. I haven't stitched or blogged hardly at all. I'm going to go and try and stitch a little more now. I just wanted to check in and say hi. Please excuse the wrinkles in my picture; I haven't ironed it yet..Take care friends...A special thank you for all your sweet words on my last post about my new grandbaby..:)

Scarlett's got an announcement....:)

I'm gonna be a Grandma...again...:) Ashley told me Monday and swore me not to tell until her and Torry told the rest of the family..I'm so excited, I have a grandson, Hayden from my oldest daughter Heather, and Scarlett will be 3 in August, her mommy is my youngest daughter, Ashley. So, I am planning a trip to Germany in October. We think she's due around the 9th of October. I haven't been stitching the past few days; just lost my mo-jo I guess? Hopefully it'll get back soon....

Time flies....

I can't believe I haven't posted in almost a month and it's Feb already...I'll be 52 years old the end of the month, time does go by faster the older we get..:) I haven't been stitching much, just a little here and there; I started the Feb Word Play last year and was going thru some WIP(s) and only had a little to do so I picked it up last week and stitched on it til I was done, I really,, really need to do some finishing. I have a ever-growing pile of stitching that needs finished. I'm still working on "Baby it's Cold Outside", I should be able to finish it up this week or next, I'm very close to being done. Then I think I'm going to start some "spring" things, I've been stock-piling my "spring stash" so I have plenty to choose from...lol I'm off work today; just washing clothes and watching "House Hunters". I love that show. Scarlett is getting so big, while we were skyping yesterday Ashley tried to get her to sing a song for me she learned at day-care and she said "no" then me and Ash were talking and Scarlett was looking at a book sitting next to Ash and started to sing "Crinkle, Crinkle, hum hum Star, hum, hum hum what u are...LOL I have to tell you I got BIG TEARS..:) She's so precious. I'm planning a trip over there (Germany) in October, I'll write more on that later. :) Hope everyone is doing well and stitching lots...

Lazy Day...

I hope everyone had a very safe and Happy New Years. Today was such a nice, lazy day. Hayden went with his step-dad for a few days, so it was just me and Kenny alone. I stitched some on my Snow in Love, I will finish it tonight. Then I just got so tired, I laid down at 2:30 and woke at 5:00!!! What a wasted day..LOL I did make it out and got my nails done yesterday, I usually just get a solid colour; but they had this pretty powder gel and I had to try them..I just love them...Rowdy was my little stitching buddy today, he sat here all morning with me. :) I took this picture of the guys "saving the world" on some online game they both play. Kenny made me pork chops and mashed potatoes for dinner. Plus he washed the dishes, can't beat that..LOL I need to colour my hair bad!! And had planned on doing that today, I guess I still can, but probabley won't. I never should have laid down for so long. Kenny said he was gonna come in the bedroom and lay with me, but Rowdy was on one side of me, Baby (the cat) was down by my feet and Bear was stretched along the side of my leg..LOL I just had the soft blanket they all love. We didn't go out last night, we just stayed home and had a few drinks. I had a few "Fuzzy Navels" and Kenny drank rum and sprite or rum and orange soda or rum and sweet tea or rum and egg nog...:) LOL and he didn't even get sick. I think I'm gonna try and not order so many new things this year. I HAVE to stitch the new 12 Little Sheep Virtues from LHN, they are adorable if you haven't seen them yet, you have to!!! And I want to do the new Mystery Sampler from Blue Ribbon Designs called: Blue Jeans and Daisies, but other than those I'm gonna just "try" and stitch out of my stash and finish at least 5 of my WIPS I have. I'm having such fun with my IPOD Kenny got me for Christmas. I'm not very good with electronics but I'm having fun with this. I hope everyone is stitching away and keeping warm..

Relaxing...& TULSA

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has fun plans for New Years Eve. I think me and Kenny may go out for dinner, idk yet. Hayden is suppose to go to his step-dads for a few days next week. We had a very nice and quiet Christmas. I am a die-hard Steeler's fan, I have been since the late 70's, my mom always sends me Steelers stuff, this year she sent me these fuzzy jammies and footies, I absolutly love them, their so comfy.. Kenny got me this beautiful ring; I tried to get a decent picture to share but didn't do too good and my nails look horrible; I get them done on Monday so maybe then I'll be able to post a decent picture. It's beautiful. He also gave me his debit card and told me to order some new "stitchy stuff"..since he has no idea on what I "need"..lol And I guess I'm not alone when I say I don't "need" anything, but did "force" myself order a few new Spring things, also the new Country Cottage design "Winter Snow". I'm going to start stitching spring themed things soon. I HAVE to get busy "finishing" some of these things I've stitched. I've gotten horrible about finishing. I think I may get Faye to help me out some, she does beautiful work, I do stitch much better than I finish. Here is my late TULSA, the last one for 2012. Where did this past year go? I can't beleive how fast time does go by. It seems the older we get the faster time goes. I also got a new IPOD for Christmas. I love it!! I'm not very good at electronical "thingies" LOL (don't think thats a word..) But I've had a lot of fun getting to know my new toy better the past few days. My boss has helped me a little, he has 3 of them. I came into the bedroom and found my cat (Baby) sleeping like this; she didn't even move..lol I hope everyone has a safe and very Happy New Years. I don't know what I'm going to do as to making a stitching "list" for 2013, whats everyone going to do? Hugs, Shar

Merry Christmas....

Just a short post wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas...I hope everyone is able to be with people who are special to you. I am lucky to have my oldest DD Heather and grandson Hayden with me this year. Me and Heather just made up Kenny & Haydens stocking, her and the guys made up mine earlier while I was at work and I made up Heathers a little while ago. We didn't buy any "big" gifts this year; just kept it simple, were all having a little rough time with finances this year and decided not to go overboard and just enjoy the holiday. We are going to cook a nice big turkey and all the "fixins" and baked two pies. Some of my friends from work are coming over for pie tomorrow evening. I worked today from 11-7:30. We wasn't too busy but people were tipping really well. Ashley is such a wonderful mom; I'm so very proud of her. She and Miss. Scarlett baked cookies all weekend, here's a few pictures of her. Ashley said Scarlett was "over" taking pictures...LOL She's such a baby doll. I miss those two girls so much. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas...xo
