Finished projects!!

I just came back from my LNS and got these pieces back from the finishers. The top one is a Country Cottage Needleworks ornament (from the JCS 2007 ornament issue), the middle picture is a SamSarah Pearl and the bottom one is for my daughter and it's also a SamSarah Pearl pattern. Husband should be happy that I didn't charge anything this go around. Use up all my mad money, now what to save up for next??

When my husband went grocery shopping last Saturday, there were all these signs for Sweetest Day, so he thought he'd better buy me some flowers and I was surprised. I haven't gotten roses in years. Usually different kinds of flowers but not roses, so these were extra special to me.

Here are my 3 kids. Nichole is the oldest at 14 (my god where did the time go??), Nathan is in the middle and he's 10 and my baby, Sam is 7. This is our annual Christmas picture. Cute huh??

promised pictures

The first picture is that of a completed Red House Sampler by Heart in Hand. The second picture is that of a Sam Sarah Pearl that I completed for my daughter's room, just needs to be made into a little wallhanging. And the last picture is of my shaved cat Lisa, her fur will come back but for now she just looks so darn funny, almost like a Lion.

No much happening

Thought I would blog a little and let you know that I'm not doing much lately. I caught whatever my son Sam had and I feel miserable. I've been this way for a week now and finally went to the doctor for some antibiotics. I hope they kick in soon. We had to get our Maine Coon cat, Lisa shaved because her fur was matting up so badly. She's really funny looking but we still love her. Can't wait until her fur comes back in and hopefully we won't have to do this too often. I've been stitching on "Red House Sampler" by Heart in Hand. Hopefully I will post a picture soon. I also bought some more stash (like I need it!!!LOL) and will post pictures in the coming days.

Hope everyone is well and I'll post pictures soon. Hopefully one of the shaved cat.

First Day of School

Well it went off without a hitch sort of. My older kids got picked up by a friend so they were excited about that. I walked Sam to school for the first time and we had some seperation issues. We both were teary and hopefully he is distracted enough to learn something. I promised him I would be back at the end of the school day to pick him up and he seemed okay with that. I forgot to take pictures as we were running a tad behind schedule, but will take some after he gets home. Now what to do with my time??

My life is somewhat back to normal.

WELL, It's been a few days since I last blogged anything so I decided to catch you up on things.

My son Sam learned how to ride a 2 wheeler (see previous blog entry) and is happy that he can do this now. My husband went on interviews and got a job offer which he took. He started last week Wednesday and they like him so much that he gets to go back next week. My kids are back from Door County, Wisconsin. They had the opportunity to spend about 5 days with my sister in law and brother in law at their tree farm. They had a blast but I'm glad they are home. We registered the kids for the new school year and I never seen so much money go flying out of my checkbook before but they need the stuff and they NEED to go back to school!!

I'm still stitching on Lizzie Kate's Summer from A Banner Year series and hope to get this done soon so I can start something that my daughter wants for her room. It's small so there isn't an excuse why I can't get this done. I'll post a picture when I actually start it but the colors are beautiful.
