Sunday

Sunday, a day off and a day to catch up on the home front chores. I also usually find some time to stitch. :)))) Today I stitched on This Is The Day by Hands To Work which is in an issue of Just Cross Stich magazine. I scanned a picture of it a few days ago and shall include it. Today I finished up the end of the house and started on the main body of it.

Today I uploaded 5 new albums to the IPod. Need to get it ready to go for vacation. I also purchased some books for the Kindle, so I will have something to read on vacation. I am trying to plan ahead, so that I will be ready and not do everything at the last minute. I looked through some stitching WIP today, trying to decide what I should take, so if I have some down time on vacation I will have something with me to stitch on. I do remember I didn't get much stitching time in the last time we visited, but I still want to have at least one project with me, just in case. Have to be prepared!


Hope everyone had a great day today!

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.

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.
