I Love Blog Reading

Ever sit down to check out the blogs that you follow, and then suddenly you look up and you realize that you've been blog reading for about an hour and half? I have to say that love to look at other blogs to see what everyone is working on. I also love to see what blogs other people are reading because I have found great new ones to read that way. I have found great ideas for finishing, great patterns that I never even knew were out there, and I think that I've made some friends along the way. When I started this I didn't know how well I would keep it up, or if anyone would even be interested in what I've stitched, but it's really been alot fun and I am so glad that I started.

No stitching pictures this time, but I have managed to get some stitching done on my sampler. It's just Z and me for dinner as MJ and M are going to a father/son bowling thing through the PTA at school. M is really looking forward to it. Tomorrow is another little league game and the weather is supposed to be sunny and warm. YES!! I don't know about the rest of you, but I am still waiting for Mother Nature to remember to turn up the heat. Sunny and warm is just what I'm looking for!

I love blog reading too, Pam. If I could stay off the computer, I could get a lot more done! Sounds like a fun few days in store for your household. Have fun!

It was 85 here in Michigan today. 85. How does that happen here???? LOL....that's too hot for me believe it or not. I like it mild, like 75 or I'm not happy. I try to catch up on blogs but boys it's hard for me some days.

Yep, if I added up all the time I've spent on the computer reading blogs, it would be embarrassing! I'm trying to limit my time on the web now, and since my computer is always on (in sleep mode to save energy) I just take little blog breaks now and then to read some posts. Like now for instance. I should be emptying the dishwasher and putting away the laundry.

It's almost too hot in OH today. 82 degrees. And I refuse to do yardwork when it's that hot out. I'll have to pull myself away from the linen tomorrow to help out in the garden.

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
