Sorry that I have not posted in so long. We have been busy here with the kids growing like weds, Jordan in school and we have FINALLY found a 3 bedroom apartment that Jerry and I BOTH like. We are moving on the first of May and very stupidly when I started packing little things here and there about 2 weeks ago (can you tell I was excited to move??? LOL) I packed my xstitch stuff so haven't been able to work on anything since. I will DEFINITELY catch you all up once I get to stitching again. I have also had some great S.E.X this week too. I have spent about $60 in once week on stash! DH must really love me huh??? I bought the Just Cross Stitch ornament book and bought a few patterns from Joanne at 123 the other day too. Keep checking in for progress and new apartment pictures!

Long time no blog!

With colds that are going around here, the everyday busy life that we have and me not stitching much I haven't really blogged much. I HAVE been working on a new 4-8-12 afghan and thought that I would share a picture with you girls and see what you think. It is 65 1/2 inches wide so can fit 2 under it!

Here is the towel that I finished up while watching the Pats game with Jerry yesterday. Can anyone spot my mistake. I know that it is there (look at the left and right of the pattern in the left picture). If no one can see it then i guess that it is not as obvious as I think that it is. I was going to give this to my neighbor, but now I am having second thoughts on that. Guess that will teach me to count out for the middle while sick in bed LOL LOL. Oh well that is OK no biggie. I was going through my LK patterns yesterday and I think that the Winter ABCs pattern that I have might fit onto a huck towel that I have. IF so that would tickle me pink as I wanted a LK pattern for my huck towel so this would be awesome. Although you would never know that it was winter with the weather and temperatures that we had this weekend. Having the windows open in the house was great but felt weird on the first Saturday in January.

Welcome to my first 2007 posting!

Well it has already been a busy beginning of the year. I have put Iris aside for a little while to stitch on a few towels. I ran out of a DMC color today though so will have to pick some more up later when I do my groceries at Walmart.

TGIO

I know that is a horrible thing to say, but 50s in New England for Christmas just did not make for a very Merry Christmas here. As much as I tried not to all I kept thinking was "is it really Christmas because it seems like just another day to me".

Anyways...Christmas Eve we went to my aunt's house so that the kids could open their gifts. Jordan got 3 or 4 transformers, some new clothes, an ambulance lego set, and a few other gifts that I am sure that I am forgetting about. Ashley got a play piggy bank, some new clothes, a air doll (you can put air in it and make it life-like or leave it so that it is soft and squishy), a few wooden puzzles, and again some things that I am sure that I am missing. Jerry got a gym membership to Planet Fitness, some body wash, some razor refills, and new socks and boxers. I got a beautiful gold chain for everyday wear, some body wash, $30 worth of gift cards to AC Moore, a $10 gift certificate to Annie's Book Stop, and a big tub of puff peppermints. Jerry and I both ended up getting a new DVD player from my parents too.

On the stitching front...I have not gotten much stitched at all. I am hoping to get some stitching in a little later or at least tonight after the kids go to bed.

Can't wait to read about what everyone else got for Christmas.

Finally Feeling Better

1 Day 14 hours and 47 minutes until Christmas!!!! (as of posting time). Got to stitch for a little while yesterday. Hope everyone has a great holiday in case I am not able to get back on here before the big guy comes. Can't wait ti see pics and hear about what everyone got for Christmas.

Go Away Germs!!!

I am so sick of being sick!! I have been disinfecting and all that crap and still can't get rid of this head cold. It just keeps coming back and harder each time. I have been working a little off and on on Iris but am charging batteries for camera right now so I will take a picture later.

TGIF

Since I worked so hard at cleaning up the house today I felt that I had the right to sit and stitch and do nothing but sitch. I made some progress that I am happy with.

Does it ever get better?

OK now that I have some more time I will blog some more. The past few nights Ashley has been waking up screaming. Thought that maybe she kept getting scared becasue Jordan has a tendency to talk in his sleep (they share a bedroom for now), but after the third night I started getting aggrevated since I was getting NO SLEEP that night (at this point she is sleeping 5 minutes here and there). Last night I finally decided that to just give her some Motrin and hope that it knocked her out for at least a few hours. She slept the rest of the night She went back down at 3 and she slept until 7 when I had to get her up to take Jordan to school. Anyway called the doctor's this morning to have her checked becasue began to think that she might have another ear infection. Sure enough she has not one but to ear infections (I know MEAN MOMMY). Since this is her third one in a matter of about a month and a half then they want to check her in 2 weeks and if the infection hasn't cleared up then she will have to go and see an ENT. Well pizza is here so I am off to have some dinner.

Here is what I got stitched while watching House and catching up on my shows on my DVR...

Hoping that after I get Jordan from school that I can sit and work on this some more. Off to get him and will update you guys some more later.

WIP Progress

Had some free time today since I did most of the housework this morning so I decided to have a day for me and other than taking care of Ashley all I did was stitch, stitch and stitched some more. Here is where I was when I put the needle down tonight.

Patriots Disappointment Today

What the heck happened to the Pats today?? I am not that into football, but from all the grumbling that DH and his buddy were doing I figured that the Pats stunk big time. Anyway while they grumbled I stitched. Hopefully tomorrow I can put some more stitches into this while Ashley is napping. No errands are planned other than going out to buy some more DMC 415 after I drop Jordan off at school. Then I can work some more on this piece which I am enjoying stitching as much as I di the first time I stitched it.

Peer Pressure

OK I have now changed to Beta Blogger like most of you girls have but I have a question for anyone that can help me. How do I add my blogger friend list (my blogrolling list)??? If anyone can help please email me at meye2cuties@gmail.com. Thanks bunches. Off to watch Christmas shows with the kids and stitch a little.

A Finish and a start

I finished this for Jordan a few days ago and then started on Iris on the Veranda which is coming along nicley. (I know I don't have much done so how can I say that right??? LOL LOL)

Doing a Happy Dance Today!

I finally got around to finishing up Pansies for Friendship. As if that didn't make me happy enough I just got back from the mailbox and inside was a $50 gift certificate to a framing place where I got a piece of my stitching framed once (the Iris on the Veranda piece). Now what to frame first LOL LOL. Here is what Pansies looks like all finished. Didn't stitch the border on this one. Thought it looked OK without the border.

Now as requested by a certain 6 year old boy I will be stitching the Red Sox Logo next. Think I amy stitch it on a piece of 11 count Aida that I have so then it won't be so small. Jordan keeps saying he wants a Patriots logo and a Red Sox logo for his wall. Have the Red Sox logo. Now to just find a Patriots one.

Achey, Sick Tuesday

Yesterday Ashley woke up and had one of those loud bark-like coughs. I decided that a visit to the doctor was in order. Come to find out she has a double ear infection and a cold. She was not in a good mood at all yesterday. Most kids like to sleep when they are sick...nope not my little monster princess. She likes to scram and throw a tantrum (no it was not due to the fact that she had an ear infection since she was doped up on meds so the doctor assured me that that was not the problem. Between a fever and the runs I am sure that she was as miserable as she was acting. Now that I got her down for a nap today this tired, achey Momma is going to curl up on the sofa and stitch her little heart out until Ashley wakes up or until it is time to get Jordan from school (whichever comes first LOL). Will try and come back for another update on my Pansies later.

Pansies Update

Thought that before I shut the computer off for the night then I would post an update on what Pansies are looking like so far. Not much more to go now.
