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!
