Happy Memorial Day!!

It has been quite a while since I have put anything on my blog!  I do have alot to say!  My daughter Ashli just finished her second year at Bryant University on the dean list.  That is so awesome!!!!  My dad is in the hospital with kidney stones. He is 91 years old so thoughts are needed at this time. I have been stitching on some of my wips, recently The Witching Hour.  Sorry for not posting in such along time

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!!!

Happy Stitching!

  

Happy Tuesday!!

Well, today was a hell day at work!  Deliveries were late so that made me late getting the mail to the road.  So did not get home till 5 tonight.  I do have an update on my masquerade from HAED.  There is a big sale over there for Bob's Birthday since he turned 53 so everything is 53% off!  I am going to check that out a little later.  Here is how much more I have stitched on Masquerade.

Happy Stitching!!

WOW!!! The Summer is Passing By So Fast!!!

I cannot believe how fast the summer is going!  It feels like it was just yesterday we opened our pool!  We opened it Memorial Day weekend.  I have been stitching on Masquerade Storykeep, Lavender Moon and Gardens Like Quilts.  Really not a lot to show this week.  I do have a short video of my baby Robin trying to catch the birds I feed.  She does this off an on all day long.  She is so cute and never realizes these birds are on the other side of the sliding glass door, lol!! :)  I swear she has springs for legs :)

Determined to get these birds, lol

I Joined the Red White & Blue Sal!!!

I decided to join the Red White & Blue Sal!  I needed an excuse to start America!  It is from Stoney Creek's Book 92 Let Freedom Ring, which is an Oop.  I am stitching on 18 ct. blue and white hand dyed fabric.  Looks like blue sky with white clouds which is perfect for this design.  Here is a photo of it and my progress so far.  I have put in 251 stitches so far. I have started in the middle so I have stitched part of the feathers of the eagles head and part of the flag.

Have a Wonderful 4th!!

I managed to finish Intervention by Robin Cook yesterday.   Started another on my USB with Invasion by Robin Cook.  I read this while I deliver mail.  My stitching has been rather slow this past 2 weeks.  I do have progress on Gardens Like Quilts and a little on HAED Storykeep Masquerade.  Here is what I have stitched since my last update.
