I have An Update On Frederick!

I have managed to stitch on Fred!  Not as much as I wanted to but life gets in the way : )  I managed to finish the first book on page 2 along with half the shelf.  Will be pulling out some Halloween WIPs to stitch this week.  Happy stitching everyone!

Not Stitching But Interesting!

 It has been a crazy week at my house! There are two adult feral cats and three kittens I am still trying to capture. I have caught one of the kittens and have tamed him. Only took two days because he is so young. I say the kittens are just about 4 weeks. I have someone coming here tonight to help me to catch the others. Need to get those kittens caught quick because it is easier to tame and be placed. The adults will be nutured and released because they cannot be tamed at that age. I will still feed them and have shelter when the weather is bad. Oh well, hope I didn't ramble on too much : ) Here is a pic of the feral kitten we captured, which is adorable!

Any one want a kitten? : )

New Diswasher, New Shelf Microwave and New StoveTop!!!!

Well, went and bought a new dishwasher, a shelf microwave and an awesome stovetop!  When I have them delivered will post pics!  Picking out the counter top this week.  There was some more done but not enough to post a pic.  The kitchen will be done before my Christmas party on the 25th!
On the stitching front,  not to much but sparatic.  Working with the kitchen, working all day, besides busing my daughter to her tennis games and such I am trying to stitch.

Yellow Be Gone!!!!!

Before I start talking about our redoing our kitchen which is a start but the bathroom and basement will follow.  I have stitched and will post later about that.
My hubby has decided to redo the kichen and is doing a great job!  In this first photo you see it is all yellow!

Yellow Be Gone!

Here are some pics of what he has done so far!  It is a work in progress and he wants it done before our annual Christmas Party on Christmas Day!

Here you see the red oak cupbards on the top along with my awesome black double ovens on the right.  Oh yea! and the lighting he has put in over the cupboards.  No doors as of yet : )

Here it is at another angle.  You can see the old white stove to the right.  That will be history really soon!

You can see here the island to the left that will be totally changed, quite soon!

Hope everyone is doing well and getting alot of stitching done!  Just needed to share why I have not been stitching lately!  Along with the back to school shopping, lol!

I have AN Update On Frederick!

I have done some stitching on Fred.  Not as much as I wanted to but something to show : )  I was able to finish one book and also just about another book.  I have finished pg 1 and going to page 2.  As far as the 100 stitch Day Challange this month, not doing well!  I was able to put 377 more stitches since the last update.  So For the month that makes 752 stitches< I think this is my worst month ever!  I need 1148 stitches as of today to catch up and I dont think that is possible, lol.  Well, we will see what happens : )  Here is my update....
