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!!

Stitching update & a little talkin...

I worked today; but we were kind of slow; those of you who have been following my blog probabley remember my not so "ex-boyfriend" Kenny, we broke up last September and he went back to Oregon; well we've been talking for sometime and have decided to give it another try. I don't know if I'm making a mistake or not; we got along ok, he's a lot of fun and a lot of laughs; he just is "different" than I am; I don't really know how to explain it to you all. I'm at a loss for words; he's 5 years younger than me; but that doesn't really matter or factor into anything. I just hope I'm not going back to him because I'm lonely, which I really am since Ashley decided to stay in Texas. I miss Scarlett so very much; I really became attached to her, more than I should have. For those of you that are new Scarlett is my darling Granddaughter who lived with me since she was about a month old until last month; when her and her mommy went to visit Ashleys dad in Texas; he has some horses and Ashley loves horses and she decided to stay. I still have Scarletts stuff; her crib, clothes and all Ashleys stuff also. I'm packing Ashleys stuff up tomorrow so Kenny can use that dresser.

He'll be here Friday. So I guess we'll just wait and see what happens? Life is so fun sometimes isn't it? It's what you make of it. I don't know why I'm just blabbing on and on...lol

As for stitching; I haven't today; But did yesterday; I'm still working on Home of a Needleworker 2, it's been a lot of fun and I hope to finish it soon. Hope everyone is having good weather; it was 102 here today; I HATE, HATE, HATE hot weather; I hope this summer goes by fast.....

Stitching & Stash

Hi, hope everyone is having a fun and safe weekend. I worked all weekend; but I'm off the next 2 days, I plan on doing a lot of stitching. I need to go to Joanna's tomorrow and get a little wooden box for Heathers Bday gift; her Bday is the 3rd; I can't wait to use my chenille trim :). I'll be sure to post a picture.

Here is a little stash I ordered from 123 Stitch; and then the Mystery Sampler and material & threads from DSL. I love both of these sites; they always fill your order so quickly. I am starting my Mystery Sampler maybe later tonight; I plan on staying up late tonight. We'll just see if my body will agree with me. LOL We were so slow all weekend and that makes the day go by so slow. This is my "Home of a Needleworker 2" it's such a fun stitch; I love the colours..

Here's a picture of Scarlett at the beach in Texas. I don't know when they'll be home; sometime before they leave for Germany; I hope it's soon; I know it's so hard on them being apart as a family. Torry's missed so much of Scarlett growing up. That's the military life. My dad, ex hubby, & brother were all in the service. Have a safe and happy holday....Oh, I was having so much trouble w/bloggger; it wouldn't even let me sign on for days. I was getting so mad; hopefully they fixed whatever was broken...

Sorry I've been MIA..

I haven't posted in a while; but I do read all your blog updates daily; I just haven't been in the "mood" to chat I guess. LOL Still adjusting to the girls being in Texas; it's time to just let it go and move on. I could go on about it; but it's not doing me any good. For those of you who are new to my blog; my daughter Ashley took my Granddaughter Scarlett to Texas to "visit" her dad for 2 weeks and decided to stay there til she joins her hubby in Germany. I won't go into details but it really hurt me. Enough of this....

This is part of my other daughter Heather's birthday gift; I'm making her an "Important Box", I need to go to Hobby Lobby and find a box to paint and then attach this on top. It's gonna be so cute; I may even make one for myself. :) I started Home of a Needleworker 2 and haven't stitched on it for a few days, I am going to do that today. I'm off work and have decided today is going to be a "jammy" day for me since I'm off work and did all my errand running yesterday; it's almost noon and I'm still in my P.J.'s. LOL so why should I change now??

I ordered the Birds of a Feather Mystery Sampler from Down Sunshine Lane on Friday and recieved it today; I thought I had ordered the 35 Ct. material to go with it; but didn't so I hurried and ordered it today and should get it by Thursday. Then I can get started; it's going to be beautiful.. I hope everyone is safe and stitching a lot; I know the tornados in the south are horrible this year.

A little stitching...

I havent stitched that much this weekend; I worked all weekend and we were so slow. I hate when it's slow; the time goes by so much slower. I'm still pretty depressed over Scarlett & Ash being gone; it'll just take some time; the bad part is she still has to come back to meet the movers before going to Germany. And I'll have to go thru this all over again.

I started this picture out of my Stitchers Journal by BBD for my oldest daughter Heathers birthday June 3. I have an "important" box that I've had for as long as I can remember; I put silly little things in it that mean a lot to me; like I have the card from the flowers my dad sent me in 1979 when I had my gallblatter out; I was only 17 and it was a major surgery at the time, all my grandparents glasses, my dads glasses movie stubs; cards the girls made for me in school, scareltts hat from the hospital; my hospital bands from when I had my girls; you get the idea. Mine is a Sketchers shoe box. LOL I'm going to Joanns ad see if they have a wooded box; I want to colour it dark blue and sand it to make it look worn; and put this picture on the top of the lid. I think she'll love it. And these are my violets; their blooming like crazy.

I'm off work tomorrow and hope to get this finished up; then I'll start something for me; I haven't decided yet what to do?? Take care all.

And the winner is.....

I put everyones name in a bowl and the winner of my giveaway is.........Nan from Nan's Needlework Notions. Nan please send me your snail mail address hun; here's my email: ssharlene0320@yahoo.com Thank you everyone who entered I appricate all the sweet words.

And I'd also like to thank everyone who left me a sweet message on my last post; I've really had a tough few days w/lots of tears. I'm going to try and "pull it together". I'm going to stitch and try and stay off this computer. LOL Sometimes I spend way too much time on here.

If anyone wants to I'm going to start Home of a Needleworker 2 tomorrow and would love to do a SAL. I love them. I will post pictures as I go and would love to see your progress as well; it can be either chart; one or two. I'm going to go stitch. :) and shake this mood off....Hugs back to all of you..

Sad day...:(

Ashley went to Texas to "visit" her dad for 2 weeks and she told me today she is going to stay til she leaves for Germany. :( He has horses (which she loves) and she loves it down there. She's bored here w/me I guess. I'm pretty hurt over this.

Those of you who follow me know what Scarlett means to me and I cherish every day I had with her; I knew she was going to Germany; but it's different. Those of you who are Grandmas know how I feel; I cried off and on all day and am tearing up writing this to you all. My heart is just broken. I always thought me and Ashley were close; we've done so much together thru her growing up; I guess I shouldn't be complaining; but it feels good to "vent". I love Ashley and Scarlett very much and want them happy; I guess it just hurts she's happier there.

On the bright side; LOL Tomorrow I'm having my 100 follower drawing; good luck everyone; it's gonna be a good prize. :)
