Welcome!

I've finally caved & decided to start blogging. I hope I can keep it up-to-date. I'm totally addicted to cross stitching
(I've been told it's an old lady hobby, I guess that means I'm an old lady!) so there will be a lot of cross stitching posts.
There will be pictures of the kids, both 2-legged & 4-legged, Chase, Carter, Baby Hank, Bullseye, Molly, & Baby.
I hope you enjoy reading, I promise to try not to bore you too much. Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

A fun day with Hank

Hank came to play on Sunday. It had been 3 weeks since I'd seen him, boy has he grown. He is so funny too. He really likes his saucer now. He figured out it can turn, so he thinks he's pretty big stuff. He eats baby food now. He also laughs & smiles at you if you ask him if he pooped his pants!

A lot 'a stitchin' goin' on

I guess I'm making up for lost time, when I was working full-time. I've been on a stitching roll, I finished these three. I started Snow Day on Friday night. I started the SanMan one last night & finished it this morning. I started & finished Brrrr today. My needle is flying....granted, I do miss the kids but stitching helps take my mind off of it a bit.

Here are two from Lizzie Kate's Winter Crazy.

This is from San Man Originals, from the January, 2009 calendar.

The Kids

I got these really cute pictures of all the kids yesterday afternoon while we were out in the yard. I made it into a collage at walmart.com, 1x14, I'm going to hang it on my wall above my couch. I can't wait to pick it up later this week!

Some Weekend Finishes

I was pretty busy today getting decorated for Christmas & finishing up some crafts!
Happy New Year, By Lizzie Kate.
I know, we just got past Thanksgiving & I just got decorated for Christmas....but if I don't get busy on stitching for January my tree will be naked!
Brrribbit framed. I used some sparkly snowflake buttons from Twig to add a little something to it.

I FINALLY got my dog shelf hung today. I only finished it over the summer, LOL, but it took me this long to get it hung!

We are ready for Christmas- Inside & Out

I refused to put a real tree inside, because I don't like cleaning up all the needles, but the boys really wanted one.... so we compromised! Here is our real tree outside on our little stoop. It is hard to tell but it does have multi-colored lights on it. And then here is our fake, pre-lit tree that is inside.

Here is my entertianment center with my ornament tree, my pink tree, & my winter frog frame.
Have you counted all the trees in my house- FOUR, we have four of them! My cross stitch ornamnet tree, my pink tree, my fake pre-lit tree, & my real tree outside. :)






Bullseye LOVES the leaves

Need I say more?!








Time for the Playset to come down!

The boys have outgrown the playset so Dad decided that it needs to come down. He talked all summer long about taking it down.... he wanted to burn some leaves in the backyard this afternoon so it was the perfect time!

Chase thought the fire needed a little help.....
