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!

2009- The Year of the Snuggie!

Snuggies were a big hit this year for Christmas.

Katie got a pink one from her Dad. Which she "bedazzeled" with the help of Amy & Carrie.

Linda, Amy, David, & Carrie bought Hawkeye ones for Jeff & Katie!

Tim got one too!

The girls weren't sure what to think of it at first, but after checking it out it was a HIT!







Last finishes for 2009

Witches Brew by Pine Mountain Designs.
From Lizzie Kate's 2008 Double Flips- Living
I have stitched a total of 128 pieces for the year!

Recipe for a Scarecrow

By Pine Mountain Designs





Christmas is FUN!

The boys in their dish chairs.
Carter & his Nerf gun. We swear he has ESP because he guessed what it was. And he guessed one of mine too!
Chase & his paddle. He's been saving up for a kayak so Grandpa & Grandma got him his paddle. Now he's got to keep working to save up so he can get it by this summer. He's so excited to be able to go kayaking with his Dad!
Walkie talkies from Uncle Jeff. What an AWESOME idea. Now when we can't find them in the neighborhood.... we can use these. Like Dad said, "who needs a cell phone!"

Christmas is for Dogs too!

Molly had to sniff out the stocking. The other two weren't as interested in them as she was!
But Baby was VERY interested in Daddy's presents.

Enjoying their Christmas presents.

Baby had to guard her's so that nobody would take her chewie!

Busy Stitching Week

Here is the one I got from Loretta, by Hob Nobb. I just have to add the dog charm & the dog bone that came with it.

Two recipes by Pine Mountain Designs- Recipe for a Snowman & Summertime Recipe. I have two more to do & am still missing three of them.

The Hob Nobb I got done in about 2 hours, it's super quick. And the recipes only took me a coupe of days to do. I guess I figure before I get back to work I better get as much stitchin in as I can. I have an interview tomorrow & hope to be back to work by the first of the year!

Making the Pefect Bed

It takes a lot of work to make the perfect bed to take a nap! Here is Molly working on making herself a nice spot for naptime.
