It's Easter!!

Happy Easter, everyone! Is everyone having a good day? We started our day early and went to 9:00 am mass. The kids were excited to come down into the kitchen this morning and find their Easter baskets filled with goodies. That Easter bunny really know what my kids like!! I'm cooking dinner and the ham is in the oven. The house smells really good. MJ took the kids for a walk down to their Gram and Grandpa's house, although they will see them later when they get here for dinner. All I have to do for dinner is make the potatoes, crescent rolls, and some corn. I like cooking for Easter because the crowd is smaller that usual, and I think it's easy

I still haven't gotten my stitching mojo back and I'm starting to wonder where it went, why it's staying away so long, and when it plans to come home. Hopefully, I'll get back into the swing of things soon. I have these projects started and I would really like to finish them, but I seem to be lacking in the desire department. This Thursday is Sit and Stitch night at the Lazy Daisy, and that usually puts me in a good stitching mood. At least I know I will be getting something accomplished that night. One out of seven nights? I guess it's better than nothing.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Easter with their family and friends. And don't eat too many of those little chocolate Easter eggs!

Hi Pam! We had a lovely Easter even though my oldest son is on Spring Break. It's been fun having my younger son (16 yo) around by himself. So glad yours was happy, too! I guess our stitching mojos are on their own spring break somewhere! Mine is probably sipping a pina colada! I hope they both come home soon!

A Book, Some Ornaments, and a Giveaway!

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...

First Finish Of The Year

Image
I finished Home Of A Needleworker the other day and since I knew that I was going to finish it as a wall hanging I had to make a trip to Joanne Fabrics in the hope of finding something that I thought would work. I don't know about you, but sometimes I got to look for fabric for a certain project, and I have something in my mind, but I can never seem to find what I see in my mind's eye. I end up roaming around the store, endlessly looking for something that apparently does not exist. For this one, though, I really didn't have any idea what kind of fabric that I wanted. The color green kept leaping to mind, but I was not really sure about it. So, I took the finished stitched piece with me so I could hold it up against any fabric that I thought might catch my eye. I was in the store all of five minutes when I came across this brown and blue fabric and I just could not believe my eyes! It was perfect!! Two hours were spent sitting at my sewing machine this morning, with...

Welcome To My Blog!

Welcome to My Stitchalong! As you may guess from the title, I am a stitcher. Cross stitching mostly, but I also do a little quilting and some crocheting. I was encouraged to start this blog by my cousin's wife (a big shout out to Sarah!!) so here I am. I'm a stay at home wife and mom to one husband and two active boys. Running after two boys during the day and taking them both here and there leaves me wanting something for myself, so my stitching comes in quite handy. I've turned my stitching into lots of things: pillows, wall hangings, quilts. This is my journey through my life as a wife, mom, and stitcher. This is a project that I finished over the summer. As soon as I saw it I knew exactly what I wanted to make it into: a wall hanging for my master bedroom. It's one of my favorite finishes that I've done.
