| More Birthday and a finish |
| Wednesday, March 04, 2009 |
Right before taking the boys home I made Dennis take a birthday photo of us. This is about the only one I have put on-line. I don't do many photos. Chris isn't looking at the camera as I told him to-do..the goofball. He is so much taller then me we sat him in the chair and I stood. Nicky is not much farther behind Chris in the hight department as you can see. Monday I went to work and when I come home I got a knock at the door. This is what was handed to me. I signed and couldn't get it inside quick enough. I knew the contents would be great but I didn't know how great. Inside was a T-shirt from Lillie's latest travels, A blue box with a pretty blue ribbon tying it all up, a post card with some cute kitties on it and some CHOCOLATE. Lillie knows me to well...LOL The Post card matches a stitching project I did just last month. I think I'm gonna take the post card and the stitched piece and frame in. Lillie confessed to not making the blue box but she had a friend do it for her. She hurt her finger ...Poor Baby. Lillie did however stitch the fob and she put my initial on the back of it. When I op[end the blue box I had no idea what was gonna be in there but just like the battered box it was wonderful. Places for all my stitching stuff. Lillie told me what the box was called but I have lost the note so I'm sorry I can't tell you what it's called. I just call it Fabulous. Thanks so much my friend. Vermilion February hearts is done. Finished it on March -03-09 at about 6 PM. Changed the colors to stand out better on the fabric I dyed. Next up is the March snowman. Check back for updates on that one.

| Sunday, March 01, 2009 |
Chris made me the snowflake and Nicky used my Cricket to make me a card. The Cat pen come from Nicky's field trip to see the Egyptian exhibit that come to Dallas a while back. I draged the boy's to Build-A-Bear Saturday. The Froggie named Hoppy is mine and I made the Kawala for Nicky as I didn't get him anything for Valentines Day.   Hoppy's new home is now on top a big long dresser we have in our bedroom.  This is a card I recived from Meg. She belongs to my Yahoo group FC and she made the tatted bookmark for my birthday. I have always admired these when she did them for other members but now I have my very own. WAHOO !!!!!! Thank you Meg. Though I can't bring myself to hid it in a book I hung it on the wall in my kitchen.  All my Cards and floss from the ESC birthday club and a few that were not in the club. Great big thank you to every one who got it to me so I would have it to open on my birthday. I know how hard it is to remeber stuff that falls on the first day of the month. Now this is not all the stuff for my birthday but the rest is gonna have to wait till the mail comes  STITCHING NEWS Dennis had some finishes and now I have some card making to-do. He played with the colors a bit even if it doesn't show in the photo.  I am almost finished with my February snowman. Not much stitchinf time this last week and Saturday was a no stitching day. Hope to pick it back up today and get it done in the next week.  Labels: Gifts from, Holidays, WIP |

| Monday, February 16, 2009 |
Happy Valentines to all my readers. Hope you had a great one. Here is the card and plate of cookies I made for Dennis. I used the quilling for the blue hearts and cross stitched the heart a while back. Dennis had a few finishes this week. The photos don't do them justice. The deer was a freebie from a blog I either ran across or some one led me to it in one of my groups. Freebie I finished this one on Saturday (2-14-09) night. Barb I hope this puts a smile on your face and great memories of your friend come through it. This was such a great joy to work on but I'm glad it's done. 3 weeks stitching one piece is a little overwhelming for me at this time in my life. Haven't decided yet what it will become. I thank you if you left me a comment about your thoughts on this piece. Think between you all and Dennis I have concluded that this piece is a January thing. not ready to give up Christmas and ready for Valentines Day
 Until next time Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments. Love you all Lot's.

My dear BF decided a few months ago (OK more like a year ago) that it was time for me to have an upgrade on my Blazer. This is what was presented to me on Sunday 1-25-09 morning. A 2000, bright red blazer. I drove it to work Sunday then really got to drive it on Monday cause I was off. I'm happy with it and the DBF has his good moments..LOL...LOL Oh Ya !!! notice the kitten ? That is from momma kitties last batch of kittens. He is so very soft and very friendly and if I leave my door open he will not hesitate to jump in my car.
 My New Start. SMO-Spiced Tea
Started on 1-26-09 I hope this one takes me a while to complete. I'm really tired of completing stuff fast. That sounds weird I know but it's true.
 Next Month is right around the coroner & this is my stitching plans for February.

Thanks to Sue V. a fellow stitcher I now have a copy of the newly released issue of JCS magazine. I'm gonna do the Britty Kitty ornament first.
I finished another Halloween piece last week just didn't have the time to post it till now. The next ghost I do will have to be done on some hand dyed fabric. I don't know what I was thinking when I started stitching a ghost on white. This was a Leisure Arts design from a leaftlet called Spooky Stuff sent to me by a fellow stitcher CJ. I'm now passing on that leaflet to another fellow stitcher and hope she enjoys it as much as I did.

| Valentines QSW |
| Sunday, February 10, 2008 |
TO ALL !!!
This is how I spent the last two days of my long weekend.Friday there was a post on CSF for a Valentine freebie and when I saw it I knew it was perfect for Dennis. I changed the colors to suet him a little better. It's a patriotic Valentine now. He saw me stitching it and then he saw me finish it but never asked whom it was gonna be for Whhhhewww my secret is still safe so far. I hope he likes it when he finds out it's for him. I haven't stitched anything for him in a while and I have no money for a gift so this killed two birds with one stone...LOL
You can find this one Here
This one I started on Friday for Dennis and finished it this morning. Now I have decided to make this into and ornament but not for Dennis. Maybe I'll give this one to the boys next year. That's a long ways away so for now it's just a thought.I will however enter this as my Feb ornament for the ILCS contest. Sorry about the fussy photo but it did that when I cropped it. God didn't give me any photography skills other then point click and shoot....LOL
You can find this one Here

These 10 people have left me comments on my blog that have made me smile. I thank them so very much for making me smile through there words.
Started this one on Oct.-19-07 & finished it on Oct.-21-07. This was my first San Man Original & my first time using Six Strand Sweets threads. The pattern was a freebie here. After seeing this done by Elaine I knew I just had to do this one. After downloading the pattern I discovered that the colors the chart called for were unavailable. I contacted Elaine as to what she would recommend using. She gave me the color choices that she thought would be close to what the pattern called for. I found the colors to be very dark but it’s a soft dark if that makes any scene to yaw. Not the colors I would have guessed for Halloween but after seeing it done up it’s pretty cool looking. I found some ribbon that says Boo on a purple background. I see three ways to finish this piece but have not decided on one yet.
1.Flat fold
2.Pillow (small)
3. Pin keep
Thank You Elaine for the help and Inspiration on this...
Thanks for stopping by & if you leave me a comment Thanks so much!!! Labels: Holidays, Thank You |
