More stitchy finishes!

I have nothing but time on my hands at the moment, I have been having issues with my pregnancy since late March that have kept me home and in bed a lot. I had to go back to the doctor last week on an emergency basis because I thought I was having a miscarriage, I did not. I have had my moments in April where I was doing way more than I should so maybe that caught up with me. So since I am home all the time anymore I have been doing nothing but a lot of reading and sewing. I have gotten 3 more small finishes done in the last week. Two of the finishes are cards that I made, the piglet one is for my friend Shelli, whose birthday is today the 2th. She already got the card in the mail before her bday so I was happy about that! The other card I made is for a monthly swap I take part in with my friends yahoo group, the third finish is for my inlaws for their anniversary, it is by Lizzie Kate, I am including pics of the finished and framed piece, I think it turned out pretty good! Last week weather wise in Ohio we had 3 days of heavy winds that reached up to 60mph, luckily no damage occurred from all that, just had a lot of branches down in the yard that was easily cleaned up, the one day I decided to leave the front door open because it was 70 outside and my cats love it when the front door and windows are open, I had to sneak a picture of these kids because they were all huddled in front of the door watching the wind blow stuff around in the yard, it was too cute and funny to see! From the left the gray cat is Tamzien, by her is her brother Gisborne, then Bela and Tigger. My kids are always good for a laugh and a smile on a daily basis, I do not know what I would do without them!

Busy stitching week...

I have some more finishes to share, I am almost all done with the PS alphabet! I finished 5 more letters in the last week and still had time for a very small finish by LHN, called snowy pines. I hope everyone had a good Easter, it was a quiet one here, me and my son James tackled making Easter dinner and that was about it, I have been home most of the time anymore because I have not been feeling good. So hence that is why I have been sewing a lot lately, because there is not much else for me to do, lol. Thanks for stopping by and for all your kind words.

A few small finishes

This week has been pretty quiet at home, my cold has left which is good, I am getting to the point where my pregnancy at the moment is not kicking me in the butt with how it makes me feel everyday with being run down and feeling sick almost daily, so I have been taking advantage of that and finally doing things I want to do, which is get back to my stitching among other things. I have a small finish from Bent creek and then the other 2 finishes are my Prairie Schooler alphabet. I am getting close to finishing these, I look forward to that! The last picture is of my son James, I had to take this picture earlier this week, it was one of those rare mornings where he had breakfast quickly and then got ready and still had enough time to sack on the couch for about 20 minutes before it was time to go, so he ended up falling asleep and Lana decided to take advantage of that, I was joking with James that Lana was telling you to stay home. She has always been more of James cat if anything. She loves to cuddle with him at bedtime as well. Thanks for stopping by and I hope every one that has taken the time to read this has a good week ahead.

Finally some finishes!

I have been away for a while because things have been so busy here and then I have not been feeling well which knocked me off of my feet for a while. First off Mike's parents are both doing great. If anything everyone was amazed at how fast they both were recovering after surgery. Much to every one's relief. It will be a long road for Mike's dad permanently now and with it comes rescrictions that he has to abide by for the rest of his life but it is worth it as well to see that everyone is doing good. Spring has sprung in Ohio for a brief minute, lol. The last few days here it was 80 and sunny so my cats were loving that! Back to being cold now for a short bit before spring decides to stay.

In between everything here when I felt up to it I have been stitching. I finished 6 more of the PS alphabet which only leaves me with 11 more to finish before I can say I have completed them all! My bedroom trees are looking pretty sharp with all my new PS ornies I have been making. I will have to try to remember to take pictures of my trees when they are all done so you can see how they look on display. I also have started a new project in between it is a Lizzie Kate snippet, it is called winter sampler.

In closing I thought I would enclose a picture of my kittens that I got last summer. They are 1 now. These little stinkers make me smile all the time they are so darn cute together and it is so fun to watch them, they are super close, I honestly do think they would be lost without each other with the way they act like they are joined at the hip. Thanks for stopping by!

Some more PS finishes and goings on....

I have finally managed to get my blog updated with some of my Christmas alphabets by Prairie Schooler that I got done, I got letters D,E,F,G,H and I done as well as a Little House Needleworks design that I got from Mary T. I believe it is called red house in winter. I took a picture of what it looks like on my trees. In my bedroom it is called my Christmas room. All year round, I keep my trees up in there and since these fit into my themes for the bedroom they will be on display at all times for me to see, lol. It is nice to look around my room since I seem to be spending a lot of time in there, so it is nice to see all the things I have done over time. I have been quiet for some time about all of my goings on because I have always tended to be that way mostly because I hate to burden others with my problems for the most part so that is why I keep to myself. So this will be one of those rare times that I am letting it all out so to speak. First off tomorrow, the 22th. I will be spending the day at the hospital with Mike. His parents are having surgery. Mike's dad found a kidney donar in his wife so they both will be going under in the morning and will be in the hospital for a while before coming home. After that many will be helping them out because they will not be able to do a lot for themselves for a little while. So things may be a bit busy. The other thing I wanted to share is that for some time me and Mike have been having issues and since May I have taken to sleeping on the couch and we decided to separate again back in October. We still are apart but have been talking and trying to work on things as well since January in between all that something happened that has floored me in so many ways and has at times been leaving me depressed and so many things in between. I found out at the end of January that I am pregnant. I am about 3 months along now, dealing with being tired and sick and blue at times has made me quiet a lot all around. So hopefully my friends who are reading this will understand why I have become so quiet anymore. So much is going on this year and all the things I had planned are on hold now so everything is going to take a bit of time for me to get used to since this was not planned at all. Mike had a vasectomy years ago but I have heard from so many that it has reversed itself for some men after so long. I have to admit I have my good days and then my days where I am scared of starting over and then blue about starting over since I thought all that was behind me. My son will be 14 in August and later that month be a 9th grader in high school. So it really has been a heck of a winter and spring to say the least. Now on with the pictures! If you have stayed this long to read I appreciate you doing so and for all your kind words about my finishes over time. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

Some wintery finishes...

I have a few small finishes to share, I have been not feeling so well so in between resting I have been stitching when I feel up to it. My first finish is by LHN, it is called pine tree hill. I have decided to take up tackling doing the Prairie Schooler Christmas Alphabet. I have done A, B and C. It may take me a while to do these, but seeing as how small they are it will not take too much time to stitch. I know the finishing job leaves soemthign to be desired on the alphabets but seeing as they are just ornaments for my tree they will blend in just fine with everything else on my tree I think. Thanks for all that stops by and take the time to leave a comment, have a wonderful week.

March already..

I was hoping to have an update sooner, but I have been sick with a bad cold that is still around a little bit so I spent most of last week in bed because I just felt awful and achy all over. On top of that on Friday last week Ohio got hammered with snow, we had over a foot of snow within a day so I had to go out a few times to shovel the snow, winter is almost over though and soon we will be upon my least favorite part of spring. The beginning of spring it is nothing but cold and wet and muddy all over, by May it looks nice out but first I have to get through the first part of spring. My first finish I had done before I got sick and the picture shows it, lol if you look at the ornament above it will show that this was done last month. This is signs of winter by Bent Creek, I have not worked with perforated paper in some time so I decided to stitch this on that, the picture does not do the finished result justice, my camera is ancient so at times the pictures are not as good as they can be. My other finish is March blows by Bent Creek. I am hoping to have more stitchy finishes soon, I went on a small shopping trip online on Friday at 123stitch.com and already got everything in the mail on Monday. I bought myself the Prairie Schooler book Woodland Santas and lots of floss for my future projects that I want to work on soon! As always thanks for stopping by and for your kind words.
