One Little Monkey Jumping on the Bed........

Austin wasn't really jumping on the bed, but he did fall off and broke his foot. He is such a little dare devil. He loves climbing and jumping. Sabrina called on their way to the ER last night and didn't really know what he was doing when it happened. He was in the basement playing and they were upstairs when it happened. She said he talked like he rolled his ankle but I still bet he was jumping on the couch. His inside trampoline. This morning Sabrina was on her way to rent crutches. The doctor said no weight on it for 2 weeks.

This last couple of weeks I got in the mood for some knitting. I knitted a new scarf for myself and then Steve said he wouldn't mind having one so I picked up the black and gray.

Now Sabrina wants another one for herself so I bought a really pretty blue for hers. I still have to get hers made. I also started a pair of hand warmers this week. A free pattern I found on line. I haven't made them before but after buying a pair before Christmas, I found out they are so nice for keeping your hands warm any time. They also worked very well with my regular gloves during the sever cold we were having the last couple of weeks.

Here's also an updated pic of my O is For Owl from The Prairie Schooler.

Time to go work on laundry, so until next time,
have a good weekend.

A Stitching Update

Hi to All,
Just thought I'd post some pictures of my progress with each of my stitching projects. I signed up for the Year Long Stitch through Needle Delights and started stitching Lizzie Kates Monthly Stamps. I started the January Stamp New Years Day and stitched heavy on it. I have it finished now so here's a pic of it.

Now since I have it finished, I can stitch on what ever I want until Feb and then I will start on the Feb. stamp. I also signed up for the online Prairie Schooler ABC Stitching Bee, so I am stitching on O is for Owl. Here's a pic of the progress on it.

And one last picture of Quaker Christmas. Progress is slow on this one.

I think that's what I'll stitch on tonight.
It's snowing out and are expecting 4-6 inches of snow tonight so I'm not looking forward to getting out and going to work tomorrow and Friday. It's suppose to be extremely cold for the next two days with wind and snow. I wish I could just hibernate until next Monday.
Until next time, make time for stitching,
Deana

A New Year!

Good Morning to all,
Hope no one partied to hard last night. It ended up Sabrina and Brian decided not to go out for the evening after all so Austin didn't come to stay with me. So I set and stitched anyway. I just didn't have Austin and Sponge Bob for company. Emmie, Molly and Sage aren't big partiers either so we were in bed by 10:00 pm. Isn't that sad!
This morning I started out fixing a big breakfast when Steve came home from work and then after he went to bed, I shampooed the sofa. I love having this week off so I can work on things that gets ignored the rest of the year.
Here's a picture of the ornment I received from Sherry at our SWAN's Christmas dinner.


Isn't is gorgeous? I just love it.
Sherry even made the curly ribbon on the top using Kreinik ribbon.
Since our stitching group has been doing an ornament exchange for the past 5 years we brought our ornaments from those years to show each other again plus we have some new stitchers that have not seen them.




I had mention in earlier post that I joined in on the Year Long Stitch a Long that Needle Delights was starting today. I am going to get started on my project just as soon as I get done posting this.
I also decided to join The Prairie Schooler ABC Stitching Bee online. This group is stitching, obviously the Prairie Schooler ABC's that was released a few years ago. I purchased all the charts and started them as soon as they started being released. And am now on the O is for Owl. I'm hoping this will give me the boost to keep stitching them and get them finished.
I am going to update my project pictures as soon as I can.
Till next time, enjoy your stitching time.
