My Baby isn't a baby anymore....

Like he hasn't been a baby in a long time but this just verifies that he is really growing up. He can ride a 2 wheeler without training wheels. We had this bike in our garage for about 3 years and it was just buried in junk. Well, my husband cleaned the garage and found this bike and Sam decided to sit on it, then I caught him riding it. He is SO proud of himself and we are just tickled that he can do it. Another rite of passage for a 7 year old.

Framed cross stitch picture and finished project

The first picture is a completed piece designed by my friend, Tanya. I started it about 5 years ago and FINALLY finished it earlier this year. It's called "Alphabet House" and I just love how it turned out.
The other picture:
Like I needed another project to do, but this was so cute and quick I just HAD to do it. It's a Sam Sarah Design Studio design called "Love and Country!" It's from their Pearls series. I'm going to go back to the LNS and get another one to do while at my in-law family reunion in a couple of weeks.

My other 2 cats

For some reason, some people couldn't see the pictures so I'm trying again to do this.The cat on the bottom is our newest cat Lisa, she's 2 and plays the part of a 2 year old. We got her in February of 2007 and she's a lot of fun. We think she is a Maine Coon but not really sure on that, The top picture is our oldest cat, Maddie, she's 8 and she is a pure Siamese cat.

Cross stitching

These are 2 of the 4 Trilogy seasonal themed items I got framed. I had them in a plastic bag for 3 years and finally found them and had them framed. I had them use the frames that were recommended for them and I think they turned out great. Now our wall in our dining room doesn't look so bare. I still got Autumn and Winter to either finish or start, something to add to the never ending list of cross stitching things I want to do.
