Matilda by Moonlight

I finished Matilda by Moonlight I started on her last Thursday and just finished her up a short bit ago. I think she turned out wickedly cute! I got this pattern from the same magazine as Ghostie's Garden. Seeing as I have finished this it is time for me to start on some holiday stitching now for family and then after I finish one I will switch to something I want to do for me. I have gotten a lot done this month as far as cross stitching goes. This is my fifth finish this month alone. Hope you enjoy because I had fun making her and can't wait to display her in my home when I decorate for Halloween!

My little helper

I was stitching in bed last night and Tigger decided to keep me company, he loves to sleep on my sewing stuff from time to time

Our babies

Another week in the bag!

Well the weekend is here again! One more week of freedom for my son before he goes back to school! He goes back on the 8th. It has been a busy week here. Went to the lawyer's on Monday and that went well. Fingers crossed on that one. My mother in law has not been at work this week. She will go back on Monday I am not sure about her job. I think it is not my place to ask her about her job security when it is a sensitive time for her anyway right now. Next weekend James goes on his last camping trip of the summer so I will have the place to myself. Plenty of time to do what I want since I will be home a lone a lot! Yea! Mike went back to school as well. His new quarter started on Wednesday. After this class is done he is taking a leave of absence til mid January. When he goes back he only has 4 more classes to complete I believe before he has his Bachelor' s degree. Hopefully that will mean bigger and better things here in time. After so man years of being broke and just getting by I look forward to that changing eventually.

I started on Matilda by Moonlight last Thursday and I am very close to being done with this one by the end of the weekend if not sooner.

So I guess that is it for now, back to my stitching!

Sad news

My father in law called a bit ago and told me that my mother in laws boss had passed away this evening. He had been sick for a while and had his share of hardships in the last few years. He lost his wife a few years ago and then in the winter his daughter had passed away from ovarian cancer. He was not just my mother in laws boss he was a friend of the family. I feel terrible and am doing as my father in law asked and that is to keep his family in our prayers this evening.

I also feel bad because my father in law has been sick for a while as well. He had surgery last week to prepare him for dialysis because over the years his kidneys have been rapidly shutting down on him. His doctor says when he starts dialysis he will have to be put on a kidney donor list as well. Because of this my father in law has been off of work a lot this year and is considering only working part time when he starts dialysis. Because my mother in laws boss passed away no one knows at the moment what that means for her as far as having a job. I feel awful because they have both had a rough year as well and seeing as they are both 60 right now it would be hard for my mother in law to find a job in this market as well as possibly making what she has been over the years. Speaking from experience it is no fun to find yourself without a job. I will be speaking to her tomorrow after we get done at the lawyers office concerning James and go from there.

Spider cat!

Bella is all baby that is for sure! She is hyper and very playful for her own good some days. I have a few fake plants in the house and yesterday she discovered them. She leaps into the tree and starts climbing her way up all the way to the top.I thought this was too cute and funny so I had to get a picture of this.
