Another one bites the dust...

Well I've finally finished my daughters It's a Girl Thing! last night!  I'm stoked because I had to rip out and redo the last 50 or so stitches.  Don't ya just LOVE it when you mis-count??  Here's the finished product!

I started on a new design last night Lizzie Kate's Giggle Boxer series, All you need is Love and Chocolate, and as you can see I've got some some more stitching to do before it's done ;). I'm not sure how much stitching I'll get done this weekend, between my kids, cleaning and possibly meeting up w/ a friend I haven't seen in 16 years my plate is a little full.

And speaking of one of my monsters.... I mean my son, this is the face I look at every day that makes me forget everything else I have to do.  It's like he's my drug of choice and I'm addicted *sigh*.  I guess there could be worse things to be addicted to, say for instance knitting *shudders*..... just the thought of knitting and I break out into hives!  Not because I hate it but because to get my hands to do what my brain says would take an act of congress!  It's just nigh impossible!  However I do love to look at what others knit, I find the finished products to be beautiful.  


Oh well thanks for taking the time to read my blog, since I'm a newbie to the whole blogosphere please be patient with me, and as always comments are much appreciated!


Happy stitching all!!

New day new blog....

Hello everyone!  If you're reading this then you are reading my very first blog!   This is my attempt at keeping up a blog because I'm told by my family I tend to have a lot to say (hmm..... not sure if I should be upset at that or not) so I figured I'd find a place to vent!  The majority of it will be about my stitching and photography with cute little anecdotes about my children because Lord knows they drive me batty but I adore them and all their craziness!  For instance:  we were driving home from our camping trip over the memorial day weekend and my son (who's 4) was in the back seat watching The Smurfs.  Some jerk decides to cut off my boyfriend so he proceeds to yell out "What the smurf are you doing jerk-off?!".  My son says "yeah jerk-off!".  I proceed to smack my boyfriend on the arm he looks sheepish and we pray my son doesn't add that to his vocabulary.  It's things like that that make me smile AND cringe, and trust me all that and then some will somehow find its way into my blog.

I have a few WIP's mostly Lizzie Kate's, but the one I'm stitching at the very moment is: It's a Girl Thing! for my oldest daughter, as you can see I'm almost done with only 2 more petals to go!  YAY!!  I haven't decided if I want to make it into a pillow or just frame it.  Decisions, decisions.....

Another WIP is Lizzie Kate's Spring B03.  For some reason this is giving me problems!  I've taken out and re-stitched more than I would've liked so I'm walking away from it.... for now. Trust me though, I'll be back.

Also, please pardon my blog's appearance it too is a WIP and I'm sure I'll re-design it AT LEAST 20 times until I'm happy with it =).
