Well though I find it hard to belive we have started a new year Back about 6 weeks ago I lost my stitching mojo and well it's just now comming back. There have been a few changes in my life. My youngest son had a tree limb fall on his foot and broke his fourth toe. They did surgery on it and he has a pin on the outside of his foot till it heals. My dad liked to have cut off his fingures doing something around the house. He will be going in for surgery this next week. I now have keys to the Braum's I work at and I now open at least 2 days a week and run the shift. Have a class along them lines that I'm beeing sent to Monday and Tuesday.I went to the doctor this morning and she did some blood work. Results soon I hope and I hope we can figure out why I'm so tired all the time. Last but not least my oldest son turns 18 on the 22 of January. Red letter day for me as I'm one step closer to not having to deal with my X...Wahooo. Started this on January-01-2010. So this is my new year start.

| May SAL |
| Friday, May 15, 2009 |
I hope every one had a great Mother's Day. I had the best one I have ever had. Thank you Chris & Nicky. My baby took me out to eat breakfast with the money he saved from moving lawns. Chris bought me some cute little birthstone eerings and they both gave me carnations. They really put some thought into this Mother's Day..That's what I liked the best. I had a small finish last week I think it was. I saw this little doodle online the other day and just fell in love with it so I stitched it up. This is my Starting point as of 5-15-09 for the May Facebook SAL. Lets see how much I can get done this weekend on this project.

This was given to me by CindyMae’s stitching corner
She has a very nice blog and always has nice comments for me. Thanks for the award. 
I'm gonna take a page from her and pass this on to all whom I visit and all whom visit my blog.Thanks for all the great comments.
OK ladies I just got word that my latest MA has been received. The theme was Coffee/Tea and was given to Michelle in GREECE. My first one to go there so you can click on her name and you can see the MA I sent. I'm still waiting on mine from her and will show as soon as it comes in.
On the stitching front:
I finished this about a week ago. Not to happy with the trim job but Dennis likes it and that's what matters.
This is my current WIP and I'm doing this with a FaceBook group. Wanna try and finish it up this weekend so we will see. Right now I can't tell who it's for or what it will be. I found the Satin floss pack at Hobby Lobby last week and thought the colors would be great for flowers then when I got the pack home and opened it up I saw these cute Butterfly's on a leflet inside. Now I have two uses for the floss. Wahooo !!!!!
This is my arm after one week. Looks good if you ask me. Been putting the vitamin E oil on it several times a day and it's just about all pealed off and just a tiny pink color. For those who don't know what happened. I had a fight with the bacon at work and the bacon won... LOL I was pulling a pan of cooked bacon out the oven and there was a great amount of grease on the pan. When I turned to set the pan on the table the grease drizzled down my arm. Thus resulting in this. I ran my arm under cold water to get the grease off and then put on Lavender oil. It never boiled up just got really brown.   God Bless you all !!! Till next Time

This I'm working on for Dennis' Christmas cards. The cross is from one magazine and the flower is from another. The cross pattern called for a poinsettia inside but the satin stitch is really hard to do on Aida fabric. I think it's turning out cute in spite of the change. Here we have the finished Square and the photo does not due it justice. I wished I could have gotten a better 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 |

Dennis has anouther finish. Cute right ??? He didn't even realize what the tree really was. If you veiw it sidways you can see what I mean. I will make this into a ATC Christmas card for him to send out this year. Now he has started anouther raindeer. So more to come soon. We have some goofy kitties in our house. Crybaby loves to get up and sleep on this bag. Smokey like it as well but most the time it's Crybaby's spot. This bag Dennis puts all his stuff into to take to the shop and every night he puts it in the chair and you can see what happened after that...LOL
 Here is my progress as of Sunday the 8 Th of February. This has been such a fun stitch for me. Though the colors have made me think it's a valentine stitch but then you have the ginger bread guys witch is Christmas. What do you think ? Valentines or Christmas ? Labels: Cats, Dennis finishes, WIP |

| Week one progress |
| Monday, February 02, 2009 |
Managed a little stitching time this past week. Here is my progress on Spiced Tea. This is the second day of February and I have yet to start the Vermilion snowman of the month. I will either start him soon or wait till I get this one done.
 Just a few cards I made Sunday morning using my Cricket machine. Right now all I can really do with my Cricket is the words on the inside but hope to soon have another cartridge to do some shapes. Been trying to do some Quilling stuff and that's what is on the one that says Love.

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.

| My week |
| Sunday, November 09, 2008 |
Saw some Yo Yo animals on a blog the other day and thought I can do that so I pictured a bunny in my head got out an old teddy pattern and my Yo Yo maker and this was the result of that.
Been working on this for about two weeks now. Found it online but right off the top of my head can't tell ya were. I love how the stocking turned out. Used variegated dark red floss sent to me by Lillie and then out lined it in blue glitter. Used the whisper thread for the top of the stocking. Think if you click on the photo it will blow it up and you can see more detail.
Organized a swap with one of my Yahoo groups and this is the ornament I received from Debbie. She also sent me a little bead kit of a cat I will put on my To-Do list for next year.
Thank you for stopping by and comments are always welcome.Labels: Exchanges, Other crafts, WIP |
