I Am Back!!!

I have so been neglecting this blog!  Lots of distractions from my grand kids, summer, work, etc...
I will try to do better!  I have not done too much stitching since my last posts. But will update what I have stitched.  Ashli has been with Bryant University now for two years.  She has been on the dean list for the past two semesters.Now my daughter Ashli is having eye surgery tomorrow on both her eyes.  Hoping all goes well.I am having a crazy year! Since my last time here I have started a new pattern.  I am stitching Amongst The Tulips so here is my progress so far.....

Happy Stitching!

Grab A Coffee I Have A Lot To Say and Show, LOL!

Really!! I have not blogged since the end of August?  Oh My, It has been a while since I have posted here.  Work has really gotten busy because of the holidays coming up. I bought a new Kindle Fire and have been trying to learn how to use that.The pictures it takes look awesome!  Here is the one I got and I do love it!

Hmmm lets see!! My grandson Conner just turned two this past month. He is growing so fast!  

Ashley finished one year of Bryant University with awesome grades!  Rolling right into another year.  She is also writing for the Bryant newspaper.  Here is one of her articles

She is just loving the University! 

OK for the stitchy side I have worked more on The Witching Hour.

I have now stitched about 2000 stitches in this.

I am now working on Snowfriend ornament by Dimensions Gold collection, hoping to be done for Christmas.  I am about half done now :)

Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Witching Hour

Progress as of August 27th 2013

I have been stitching a lot the past few days.  

I do have some other non-stitchy things going on also.  My daughter Ashli is back at Bryant University Sept 2nd for her second year of  her four years to get her Bachelors Degree and then on to Med School and then 2 yrs for her Masters then 5 yrs for her  Psychology PHD Degree.  Hmmm, lets see thats 10 more years, Oh My Gosh!!!

My husband went to his Mom's to check on here pool and found a tiny snapper turtle in it.  He brought it to our house and my daughter and her boyfriend decided to adopt it until it was old enough to be released.  This snapper is so tiny!  My daughter knows alot about turtles since she owns two.  So they have a new addition for the time being and his name is Koopa.  Here is a pic of Koopa.

Well, I do need to show you a pic of a new visitor to my bird feeder!  Really do not want to see this visitor again.

Pedigree Falcon

Swooped right in to my birdfeeder to take a bird!  Luckily, all my birds had another day to eat at my feeders :)

Of course, I need to show a pic of my sweeties!!!

My Boots 

Happy Stitching!

  

How Is Your February?

My February has been pretty good in the stitching, I am still stitching on Gardens Like Quilts and stitching on the bluejay.  For the next two weeks I will be working 6 days a week again since we have another postal carrier on vacation.  Hope to show an update tonight later, we will see.
Very cold here in the 20's the past few days.  Had a dusting last night but it is gone today.
My daughter Ashli has been vomiting all day.  She woke up with a migraine this morning and has not been able to hold any food down all day.  She has had migraines for years and has medication for them but like a lot of kids forgot to take the medication last night. So How was your day? Of course I do need to add a photo : )

This is Puss she is mentally challanged

Good News!!

Ashli as I mentioned in my retired blog got accepted in Bryant University with a 12 thousand dollar scholarship per year but after she went to orientation for two days we got a BIG surprise!!  She is getting 22 thousand scholarship per year for majoring in med !  We are so excited!!  She is so so happy! Here is a pic of her.  Dosen't she look happy, lol : )  Just had to share that with all my stitching friends!

I Have To Brag Here! I am so Happy!

My daughter Ashley has been accepted into Bryant University College, the best business college in the US.  She is taking the premed program, majoring in biology and her minor is psychology.  She wants to get the business end done first before her medical studies.  She wants to be a doctor with her own office.  So she needs to now the business end also.  Another exciting thing is Bryant is giving her a $12,000.00 scholarship for the 4 years of college.  So that is $48,000.00 in scholarships!  I am so proud of her : )  Here is a picture I took when she read the letter.

Doesn't she look happy?

Been Slacking On Stitching!!

I have been hibernating till today!!!  We had some awesome weather !  In the 50s today!  Lots of snow melting!  Frederick is on the back burner since I was visited by the Frog this past week.  Need to RIP at least 50 stitches!  I have worked on Kustum Krafts Autumn Grandeur putting in 886 stitches and also Kustom Krafts Late Spring where I have stitched 170 stitches so far.  So I really have been stitching : )  On a high note my Ashley my 17 year old just got her report card and did a great job with straight As!  She leaves for Canada on a school trip in March.  Since she is an honor student she is  able to go on all these trips.  Next year she goes to France! OK, here is my progress with Autumn Grandeur.  The other photo is the photo I am stitching : )
