I'm Feeling Better

It seems that all of the blogs that I've read lately start with, "I've been sick, but I'm feeling better" and I have to say that I am no exception. M was home from school this past Monday and Tuesday with a really nasty cold and since I was taking care of him can you guess who caught it, too? I feel better now, but I've lost my voice, which the kids think is the funniest thing. Have you ever tried raising your voice to your children when you don't have a voice to raise? Z keeps asking me how long I'm going to have this "frog in my mouth", which I think is really cute. Out of the mouths of babes!

Since I have been sick I have really not gotten much stitching done this week. I did manage to finish page 9 of my sampler and Chocolate Awareness is really close to being done. When I went to my LNS last week I picked up two framed pieces, Aunt J's angel, which looks great in the frame that I picked out, and Z's panda. Z's birthday is next week so I'm thinking about wrapping up the panda and giving to him for his birthday.

A Book, Some Ornaments, and a Giveaway!

Image
This is my 100th post! To celebrate, I have decided to have a giveaway, but there will be more on that later. I just finished a GREAT book. I have a neighbor who loves to read like I do, and we have very similar tastes in books. She lent me "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. It takes place in 12th century England. In the beginning introduces several groups of characters and as the book goes on, you see how all of these characters and their lives intertwine with each other. It was slow in the beginning, but as I got more into it, it was one of those books that I had a really hard time putting down. The neighbor who lent it to me told me that there is a sequel to it! She is reading that right now, and promised that I could borrow it when she is done with it. Hurray! A new book to read! I have not gotten a great deal of stitching done this week. A few stitches here, a few stitches there, but not much more than that. The reason? I had four ornaments that I needed

A Quiet Sunday

Image
Yesterday we had the joy of going to watch our niece swim in a meet at a local university.  We were up and out early, and with a quick stop at Starbucks to fuel our morning, we were off!  It was great to watch her compete and spend the day with her family.  I worked last night, which is a rare thing for me on a Saturday night, so it was a long day.  Today we're keeping it quiet.  Z has homework to finish, MJ is streaming something on Netflix, and after baking, doing laundry, and vacuuming the house, I am stitching.  My usual stitching spot gets cold and drafty in the winter at times, so I bought myself a birthday present: a new Ott Light, and I created a second stitching space for myself. If you've read my blog before you know we're big Disney fans in this house.  I came across a chart recently that I told myself I could not do without!  It was a quick start and finish, and I'm glad I was able to get it done before Valentine's Day I will probably le

And The Cake Was...

Image
I guess I'm really predictable because someone guessed that my birthday cake was a panda. Hmmm! How did you ever figure that out?? This must be a guy thing because my husband, my oldest son, and my friend's husband all asked me the same thing: are you going to cut the head off first? That poor bear. But he was really tasty! Me, next to the cake: This is my uncle (my later dad's brother) and I was really happy that he, his wife, Debbie, and my Aunt Rosalie (who I did not get a picture of!) were there for the party. They live about 4 hours away, so it was a hike for them to get here, but they came to see me and I was thrilled! This weekend Lazy Daisy is having a Superbowl Sale on Saturday and I was supposed to get together with three of my friends and go shopping there. I have a gift certificate and some birthday money that are just dying to be used. Guess what? We're supposed to get MORE SNOW!!!!! Because we haven't had almost three feet of snow already thi
