It's TOO Hot!

Today is another 3 H day (hazy, hot and humid). UGH!!!! I did a few small things here and there but other than that I am just trying to sit and stay cool. The kids are hanging out in front of Jordan's bedroom window watching the carpenter downstairs fixing the bulked (sp?) door. That is keeping them relatively quiet so I think that I may go and sneak in some Mommy stitching time.

And We Are Back...

After being without my computer for a couple of days we are now reunited and it feels so good. I did get a good deal of stitching in though as I am sure that you can see. Off to spend time with the family and stitch some more.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Ma!

Here is an updated picture of my Rose Beauty. At first I was really not liking this one but it is starting to grow on me with the bright colors.

Today would have been my grandmother's 82nd birthday. Happy Heavenly Birthday Ma!

1 month anniversary

Yesterday was the one month anniversary of the death of my grandmother and as a way to feel closer to her I sat and stitched on my Rose Beauty. I took a picture but I am currently at my brother in laws house and the picture is on my hard drive at home. I have been stiotching on it here too so I will post a picture of the progress I have made while being here. I am sure that it isn't going to be that much of a difference but at least it is going to be some progress. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else worked on this weekend and as soon as I get back home I will post the progress that I made today.

Stitching Saturday

Here is the progress that I have made on my Rose Beauty project. I decided to leave the project on hte sofa and every time I passed it I put a few stitches into it. Have some laudry to do today, have to go and take a shower and get ready to go to brother-in-law's too. Off to start the fun LOL LOL

Update Pics

Here are 2 Barbara Ana quickies that I did this weekend and then the pic of Ashley name piece fiinshed (finally took a picture of it) and the last picture os the progress that I am making on Rose Beauty from the Babrbara Baatz Beautiful Blossoms leaflet.

Here Come the Rain

OK it has been a while since I have been on here but life has gottne in the way. I finished Ashley's name piece (pictures of everything to follow) and then the stitching bug kind of died down but I did get the crochet bug so I went with that for a little while. My grandmother recently passed away and I remember her always sitting with me when I used to sleep over and we would sit and corchet together so I guess that in a way that has made me feel better doing that. Kind of makes me feel closer to her.

Opinions and Help Wanted

Started stitching this for my daughter and can't decide if I want to fill in the letters or leave them as they are. If I did fill them in I would fill them with the border color. What do you all think I should do???

Darn Frog!

OK so who sent this darn frog? I spent literally 2 hours frogging the right side of my WIP this morning. I was off by one row and it threw the whole thing off. I also took the kids to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast and went to get my hair cut. Now I am hoping that tonight I can work on WIP some more and actually stitch it the right way this time while watching Jon and Kate Plus 8 (LOVE THST SHOW!!!).

St. Sylvestre WIP

Here is my latest update on St. Sylvestre. This week is school vacation so I am hoping to finish if not come close to finishing this this week.

Decided it was time that Ashley DEFINITELY needs to be in a big girl bed. Jerry is going to go to my grandparents house as soon as he gets up to get her bed and then the crib will be GONE GONE GONE. Now I tried once before to put her in her big girl bed and all she did was scream, but now she seems really excited to be getting one. Maybe that is because I promised to get her Tinkerbell sheets for her new "big girl bed". Hope you all enjoy the attached pics of my progress and of my 2 little monkies.

Mushy Monday

Thanks to the few inches of snow that we got yesterday it is now a mushy and icy day. I did manage to get lots done on St. Sylvestre yesterday and thought I would show off what I got done.

Here is what I got done yesterday due to having a me day. Got lots of progress done.

Have a load of laundry in the washer and other than that I have decided to have a day all to myself. I need to take Ashley to get her hair cut after she gets up from her nap in between that and getting the kids lunch in dinner then all I will be doing is....STITCHING!!!!! I am flying along on St. Sylvestre and loving every minute of it.

Finally Some Sun

Well after having yet another snow day yesterday we finally have a day where the sun is shining. I opened all ofthe blinds in the house and am enjoying the sunlight. Here are a few pictures of where I was on St. Sylvestre before the Colts game on Sunday and where I was after San Diego beat the Colts. Now to just cross my fingers that the Pats go all the way!

Rainy, Cruddy Day

Finished Bride andGroom last night. Now what to stitch next. Decisions decisions. I am trying to decide if I want to do a rotation stitching or keep being just a one piece person.

Getting Closer

Getting closer to finishing Bride and Groom so I am 100% sure that I can finish in time for our anniversary.

Happy 2008 to all bloggers!

Happy 2008! Last night I sadly did not make it to ring in the new year. I planned on reading and then watching some TV but ended up falling asleep while reading. I did get the names and date charted for my Bride and Groom Silouette last night so now I can work on that after I get a little further on my project. Off to order some pizza. Hope everyone has a great new year.
