Today I finally made it down to the LNS to pick up some stuff from Market. I got quite a few nice things. I got the new Crescent Colours, the new WDW floss, Blue Ribbons Hugs & Kisses, Love by Waxing Moon, A & E and Cape Cod Girls by The Primitive Needle and by Shakespeare Peddler, A Weary World Rejoices. I also got the fabric and floss kit for this. Almost forgot about the Blackbird Small Token. At least I am doing my part to stimulate the economy. LOL
I did manage to finish Simply Live by The Primitive Needle. Still need to take a picture of it to post. My camera needs to be charged(as I found out at grandson's birthday party yesterday) Ugh! I love the way it turned out!
We celebrated Nicholas's 7th birthday at The Ultimate Pizza place yesterday. I swear you can go broke there. It's similar to Dave and Buster's except that the food is buffet style all you can eat and then they have all the games. It's more for kids than Dave & Busters is.

The weekend
I didn't get very far on my latest stitching project and I have already started another one. LOL I am stitching Simply Live by The Primitive Needle and am really enjoying it. I am using the fabric and floss that it calls for except insead of 40 ct fabric I am using 32 ct.
We really had a winter storm this week and got 7 inches of snow. Of course I had to go to work on the days that this was all happening. Hate going out in it. Would have rather been able to sit at home and stitch and just watch the snow fall.
Will be going to see the grandkids this weekend. Haven't seen them in a few weeks, so it's time for a visit. Nicholas hasn't had school all week because of the weather. He will probably be ready to go back on Monday.
Sunday I plan on watching the Super Bowl and cheering for the Cardinals. Hope that Kurt Warner gets to win another Super Bowl.
Hope everyone is safe in warm this weekend and gets to spend some time doing what you like.

Updated my page
I am trying a new look. If I can remember I will try to update my look for each holiday/season. I love the way so many blogs have such great backgrounds and looks, but never knew how to do them myself until I noticed that a couple of friends had lizzie grace backgrounds on thier blogs. So I guess you can say that I copied off of them, but I don't think they will mind since I didn't use the same backgrounds as them. LOL
I have been stitching on This Is The Day a sampler that is in the Just Cross Stitch magaine this month. Hopefully I can get a picture of it soon to post here. The Lizzie Kate email loop that I am in are doing a stitchalong on the Blue Ribbon Peppermint Twist piece and after much urging from all of them, I have decided to do it also. Still have to get my supplies, so not sure when I will actually get started on it.
The AZ Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl. Kurt Warner was the quarterback when the STL Rams went to the Super Bowl, so he is still a favorite here and since DD lives in AZ, that's who we will be cheering on next week.

Just dropping in
Yes, it's really been a while since I have blogged, but I have decided to adopt the theme of blogging without obligation. LOL If I have the time to blog, I will and if I don't, I won't.
Here is is almost the end of the year. I really didn't have very many finishes this year, but I do work on lots of big projects, so what can I say? I think stitching should be enjoyed and not about how many projects you finish in a year.
My DD will be home for Christmas this year. She hasn't been home since March, so it will be nice to see her again. My son's family will be here this year, so it's always fun with the little ones at Christmas time.
So if I don't post again before the new year, I want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope you have a wonderful holiday with family and friends. I know that I will.

It's Friday
It's been a while since I have posted, so I guess I will catch you up on a few things.
DH's nephew has filed for a divorce. He is stationed in HI and would have been married for 2 yrs in July. So sad that it didn't last longer, but hopefully he will find happiness in the future.
DH is taking a new position. It's classified as a special project, but he won't be working at his store for several months. It's Monday- Friday, so he will now have weekends off and no nights, but of course I won't. LOL
DD's future FIL had a heart attack while visiting her and her Fiance in AZ, 3 weeks after having had bypass surgery. He was cleared to fly and they thought everything was all right, but apparently it wasn't. He has now returned home & is doing better.
My three grand kids are all adorable. Nicholas will be finishing kindergarten next month. Hopefully Emily will be potty trained soon and Ashley is learning to walk. All are well.
Stitching wise, I have been rotating a few projects each week. On Mondays, I work on a new project for the week. The ones I have been working on are: Quaker Mystery Sampler, Needleprints-Sarah Moon and Quaker Christmas.

Leap Day
I just realized that this month is gone and I haven't been good at keeping up with my blog once again.
I need to take some updated photos of my WIP to post also.
I am trying to keep up with things here at home to get ready to go on vacation. Yes, only 8 more days until DH and I leave for warmer weather in AZ. We will be visiting our DD and her finace there for the first time since they moved there last April. They have a brand new house and new furniture and I am anxious to see it all.
I will also be visiting The Attic needlework store while I am in AZ. Just a litle plus of where my DD lives. I can't wait to see all the wonderful samplers that are in their shop and of course I will accumulate some stash while I am there also.
This past month we visited some friends in OK and I got to make a trip to The Silver Needle while I was there and it was right after the Nashville Market, so it was a great time to see all of the new!
My grandson and I both had birthdays this month. He is our first and oldest at the age of six! He had a party with friends, family and some school pals also attended. I think he had a great time.

Newest BAP
I can't believe it's the middle of January already and I haven't posted to my blog since the beginning of the month. I guess I am not very good at this blogging thing.
I have started another BAP. Now I have three of them that I am trying to concentrate on at the same time. The new one is 2008 Quaker Mystery Sampler. It is a Yahoo group and every week you get a new page released to stitch. I didn't get my fabric and floss right away, so there are now four pages out and I just started working on page 3 today. I am stitching it on 32ct Queenanne lace Jobelan fabric over 2 with 1 stand of Needle Necessities floss 115-Midnight for the main color and 153-Razzle Dazzle Red for the letters. Above is a progress picture of the the first two pages.
