A few small finishes

First off I wanted to share a few personal pictures. October 25 I celebrated 14 years of marriage with my husband. I met him when I was 18 and I have been with him ever since. Together we have a smart alec but good 14 year old son that has turned into a fine young man and has grown before our eyes. While my second child was not meant to happen for us, we hope that the future holds a lot for us including another child. As you can see I had my son before we got married so he was at our wedding that day. Despite all the ups and downs though I would not change much about the good times and bad times we have had over the years.
I have a few more small finishes to share, these were so very quick to stitch and fun as well. I have started to do some wintery / Christmas stitching. The first design is a LHN pattern called Pine Tree Inn and the second one is by Cherry Wood Designs and it is called Wild Snowman.

I hope everyone has a good week and as always thanks for stopping by and for your kind words.

Been a while...

It has been a while since my last post. A lot has been going on that I am not ready to talk about yet. I have been stitching here and there though. When I look at what I did with my stitching I know I have been keeping busy but it does not seem like I have been. I have a Halloween and a Christmas finish to share. The first one is of Halloween of course! It is by Bent Creek and it is called Spooky Row and the next one is by Lizzie Kate of course! On a personal note my teenage son and his girlfriend went to Homecoming earlier in the month. We were so thrilled to see him go. They both looked wonderful and had an awesome time. My baby is not so much a baby anymore, lol. Thanks for stopping by and for all your kind words!

Some more Fall and Halloween finishes with a bit of Christmas

I have been keeping busy since my last post with my stitching. Not much else to do at the moment so may as well keep my hands busy! The first finish is From Prairie Schooler called Autumn. My second finish I have wanted to do this for a while so I finally grabbed it out of my to do pile and tackled it. It is a Lizzie Kate called Hats off to Halloween. My last finish is a Christmas finish that was so quick and simple to make I was done with this one in 2 days. It is by JBW Designs. It is called Holly Noel. Not much going on in my house to speak of as of late. it is starting to look like fall though in Ohio. Friday is the first day of fall and already when I walk around I can see the leaves changing colors and the weather is cooler, which I love! I love Autumn and Winter. They are my favorite seasons. My son is still adjusting to high school. Seeing as he is a freshman this year he is quickly discovering that there is a lot expected of one with all the work he has to do on a daily basis. He seems to be holding strong though! In a few weeks mid term reports go home so hopefully it all looks good! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave comments, they are always appreciated!

Some Halloween finishes

Been a little while since my last post, but as you can see my hands have been busy with my stitching. My first finish is by La De Da. I have seen other ladies who made this in the past and just knew that someday I would have to stitch this for myself. Now I did! The other 2 finishes are Prairie Schooler finishes of course! Not too much going on in my neck of the woods. It is Labor Day weekend here, so really not much to speak of as far as plans. My husband has to work all weekend so just me and my mopey teenage son, lol. He starts school on Tuesday morning and is not looking forward to the fact that summer will be done for him. For all my friends out there, I hope you have a good and safe and fun holiday weekend! As always thanks for stopping by!

Some LHN finishes!

Not too much has been going on in my neck of the woods as of late, just been staying at home where it is cool and stitching a lot. I already have my next project lined up that I want to do and wouldn't you know it, it is another LHN design! There just are too many cute designs to choose from. I am feeling much better now, just waiting for this baby to say he is ready to come out because I know I am ready, lol. School will be starting soon for my son he is not looking forward to it, summer always goes by in a flash it seems. At least the weather has been great here in Ohio as of late not too hot if anything it has been cooler, I like that! Hope everyone has a great week and thanks for stopping by!

A few finishes

It has been a few weeks since my last post, been busy and productive for me. I managed to get a few finishes done as well in between taking it easy. I had dental surgery last week. I was supposed to get 2 teeth removed but only got one tooth removed that day. The doctor wanted to wait if possible after the baby is born so he is not putting unneeded stress on me and the baby. I was making myself nuts over nothing though, The surgery went well and within a day I felt better than I had in almost a month. I am pushing into my eighth month of pregnancy and the best word to describe how I feel is uncomfortable! Mix in the heat of the summer and it makes it even better, lol. On a lighter note, today is also my son's birthday. He turned 14. In less than a month he goes back to school, he will be a high schooler this year, all of a sudden everything is moving so fast.

My 2 finishes were simple but cute, the first one is by LHN and the other one is from a old magazine in my collection. It came from the magazine cross country stitching. As always thanks for stopping by and for your kind words.

Finally a finish....

I was hoping to get more accomplished this month than I have but at times life has a way of getting in the way and putting things on halt. I have not been feeling too well. Had a lot of dental issues related to the pregnancy, it all started with a chipped tooth and when I got to the dentist he said that I have 2 teeth that are bad off that they need to just come out, so next week I will be having those removed. Not looking forward to it though, in the last month I have been "freaking out" a lot and having panic attacks. So I am scared of having a few teeth pulled and worried that I will have a attack while there. My husband Mike will be there and will be taking the day off of work so he and my son can take care of the house that day. The last time I was pregnant I was 19, I am 34 this time and am finding out that this time around this one is taking so much out of me, because I am always tired and not feeling well.

My birthday was Friday the 22th. It was great!!! My son James got me a gift certificate to 123stitch.com which I already spent, lol. Mike got tickets for me and him to see the musical Chicago. We seen that a few days after my birthday. I loved the show. Was not sure I would like it but was nicely surprised when I got there. My guys helped to make sure it was a great day.

I do have a finish to share this one took me longer than usual because of the fact that I have had massive pain from the dental issues that I have it is hard to want to sit and focus on sewing or reading because the pain is bothersome. This is by Glory Bee, it is called Cabin Sweet Cabin.

Like most of us the heat has been something else in Ohio so I have been hiding inside a lot! Thanks for stopping by and for your kind words!
