I'm over this darn tooth!!


I've been on antibotics since Thursday; it seems like this tooth would stop hurting so much. I even take LOTS of vicodins; and it still hurts like hell. I was suppose to work a double today; I got off work at 4 and Ash and Scarlett came and ate supper with me; my manager came over and told me not to worry about coming back; to spend time with my family. We were laughing and feeding Scarlett some mashed potatos, I'm so glad she told me that; I just didn't feel like working again tonight. We were pretty steady today. Scarlett was "helping" grandma look at the blogs.

I babysat Scarlett last night when Ash went bowling with her friends; we had fun. Except when I was holding her while she slept and cried because I'm going to miss her so much; and that's enough of that conversation. :( I stitched on my Feb love picture last night and am going to go and finish it when I'm done here; After we ate supper we went to American Furnature Warehouse and looked around for about 2 hours. LOL we love to look at new furnature. I do want a new "stitching chair"; I found a great rocker/recliner that I had a hard time getting my butt out of; it was on sale for $319. I'll have to think about it; I don't have room for it now; but when the girls leave my house will be 1/2 empty and I'm sure I can find someplace to move my current chair. I really liked that chair; now I know why my dad loved his recliner; I've never had one and was considered lucky if I got to sit in my dads. My mom still has his; she's saving it for me. Maybe I'll just rent a uhaul and go get it; if I don't move back there. Well I could just blab on all night. :)

Sorry I've been MIA...





I've had a tooth ache for 4 days and haven't felt like doing much of anything; I went to the dentist and I have an infection in my tooth and they can't do any work on it until it's cleared up. I have to go back on Monday at 4. But with the pain pills and antibotic I'm feeling much better. These are professional pictures Ashley had taken when Torry was home this past December. This is their little family :); I thought I'd share w/you all. Don't you just love Scarlett's coat & hat? :)

I went thru my stash and found this design from Twisted Threads: February Love, it's so darn cute; I had to chance some of the threads because I didn't have what they call for. I'm going to make it into a plant poke. :) I changed up my blog tonight; I think it's so cute; the cookie jar is my Grandma's, and I made the little "pokes" for my mom years ago. Take care all;hope everyone is having a fun and safe week.

Happy Valentines Day & some stash...:)




Me and Ashley went to Colorado Springs today; Babies R Us had a "trade in" special; so Ashley traded in Scarlett's baby carrier/car seat for a new High Chair :) She looks so cute sitting in it. She got a new car seat a few weeks ago. I bought her the cutiest outfit; she'll wear it tomorrow and I'll post a picture then. Their going to visit some friends who just had a baby.

I went to my LNS; I found this chart in the "New bin"; I LOVE it!!! Of course they didn't have all the WDW/GA threads it calls for; I am ordering them from Anita's Little Stitches; she's having a sale til the end of the month; I believe it's 25% off everything; so check it out. I bought a few too many threads today; I didn't expect to get so many that are on my list. When I get a new chart; I have a "wish list" I keep in my purse of the threads; and today I went a little over board. LOL. I bought some items that aren't in the picture because their for a dear friend who won my drawing a few weeks ago. I'll post a picture of her "gifts" when she gets them; I'm sure she'll love them :) Ashley bought me lunch at "On the Border" mexican restaurant today; it was so good; I had the lunch chicken burrito, w/refried beans and rice and she had what she always has; a plain bean burrito w/just cheese and of course we had sopapillas. :) We had a great day.

Look what I made last night!!




I am so tired of this cold weather; I decided to make a macaroni salad! :) Make it "feel" a little like summer. LOL Were gonna have hot dogs and this salad for supper tonight. I couldn't wait; so I had a little bowl this morning. I know not a breakfast of champions but it was gooooood. LOL

Scarlett is rolling from her back to her belly and looks at us like "hey, who did that" :) she's getting so big. I've just been up waiting for her to get up and she is up now. I stitched yesterday for about an hour before I went to work; on my challenge piece for my mom for mother's day. I almost messed up on the material; I did something dumb; and didn't count to start and almost ran out of material on the bottom. But I'll have about an inch left on the bottom and I'm going to sew it into a pillow; or I may make a flat fold; my last one turned out so good for my LK exchange. I'll have enough. I guess that teached me not to just "wing it" when starting a project. Have any of you ever done this??? Have a great day; I hear my little angel waking up. Nothing like baby kisses in the morning.

"Baby it's cold outside"!!



Another night with the temp. below zero. I'm about over this cold weather. I do love the winter and snow; but these cold temps can go now. I like it about 30 and snowing; not -14 like now. It snowed earlier today; it's not snowing now; it's too cold! If you look close you'll see my little dog (Rowdy) under the tree. :) Even though my Steeler's didn't win; I still love them; here's Ashley and Scarlett on Super Bowl Sunday; aren't they beautiful? :)

I was off work today; I stitched on Torry and Ashley's pictures most of the day while watching One Life to Live and Ellen. I also washed 4 loads of clothes and folded the towels that were left in the dryer. Waiting on that darn "folding fairy" to come fold them; it must be related to that darn "dish fairy" who never shows up either. We ordered chinese for supper; it was pretty good and no dishes to do. Miss Scarlett was a bit grouchy tonight. She's teething and I know it hurts her. She sat on my lap and helped grandma look on the computer for a new bathroom set. :) She loves looking on the computer with grandma. I'm going to redo the bathroom, dining room and maybe our bedroom this year (hopefully). For sure the bathroom and dining room. We'll see how the money holds out. LOL

Back to work tomorrow. All the bills are paid (til the 22), me and Ashley are planning a shopping trip to Colorado Springs on Monday; so I'm going to save all my tips towards shopping; of course I'm going to my LNS and getting the material for some of my new stash; and some threads I missed. I saw BBD has a new book out that I really love and think I have to have. It's $27; but looks like it'll be worth it. Hope everyone is staying warm and safe... Thank you for your sweet comments on the post before this one; it made my day...

A finish and some new stash!!



Not much happening today, I washed 2 loads of towels, then went and picked up my paycheck. I haven't stitched at all today; I only have about 3 rows to finish my Homespun Elegance picture; I think I'll finish it before I go to bed, so I can start one of my new stash pictures. I think I'm going to stitch the "Forgive Quickly" Lizzie Kate picture.

Speaking of LK, here is a photo of what I stitched Brenda for my LK exchange. She loves it. It was difficult to part with. I think I have to make this for myself. LOL We are expecting more snow tomorrow; I want to go down to a new Antique store downtown tomorrow; maybe I'll go in the morning. I'm off work tomorrow. I recieved my stash from 123 Stitch today; I just ordered it on Friday. I love how fast they are at sending their orders out. :)

GO STEELER'S!!!!



Good Morning everyone!! I have to work til about 4 and then home to stitch on my WIP for Ashley and Torry; I'm stitching "And two shall be as one" as one of my 2011 Crazy Challenge. I went and got a different material; I started it and don't like the material, it's bugging me; so I"m going to start it over. I plan on working on it during the Super Bowl.

I ordered some new stash from 123 stitch and it was mailed out on Friday; it should be here tomorrow and I can't wait!! Hope everyone has a great superbowl and Steeler's win!!!
