Great stitching weekend

I did it. I washed the dishes, vacuumed, washed 5 loads of laundry and watched TV all day while stitching.
I finished MH Bee Skep and started JCS 2003 Homespun Elegance Ltd. , Starry Santa. Since I stitch a JCS ornament on the 25th of each month, I started a day early. It will be done today and then I will be stitching MH Flying High, cute Halloween Piece. I did start out to stitch on the stocking but then remembered it is the weekend and I stitch on my little kits.

I can't believe I accomplished as much as I did yesterday but then no one was home. Scott shot a buck so he took that to the butcher's yesterday and we can pick it up today. He is out hunting again today but can only get does now. So another stitching day today :-) Wish I could show pics but still not connected online with my computer. I will show all the finishes and the stocking when I am back on.

Lazy Day

I have been a little busy for a few days.
Thursday- got up and took my shower. As soon as I stepped out and grabbed a towel, the power went out. I was thankful that I still didn't have shampoo in my hair but how was I supposed to blow dry and make it look nice for Thanksgiving day. Power was back on in 30 min. So I missed about 45 minutes of the Macy's Parade. Sat down and stitched while watching the parade and then the dog show. Made the tossed salad after that. Dylan came home from work so we took off for my parent's house. Justin was at his friend's house for a few days so he met us there. Had a nice Thanksgiving with my parents , my sis and bil. My dad seemed to be doing a little better while we were there.

Friday- Dylan wanted me to take him and a friend to the mall so after I worked out at Curves, we headed for the mall. Was packed and I did end up with a pretty decent parking spot. He bought Scott's Christmas gift, bought me lunch and the way we were since he had to be at work by 2. Scott was out hunting and Justin had to work 7am-10am and then back to work again from 4pm-7pm. Scott came home and then we went to his parent's for a family get together. In the afternoon I did get a lot of stitching time in on the stocking while watching the DVR shows:
Ghost Whisperer - 11/9
Women's Murder Club - 11/9
Desperate Housewives 11/11
Smallville 11/15

Today is lazy day. Got up and sorted through the laundry for washing. Washed my face with noxzema and decided no makeup today and wearing lazy clothes, t shirt with sweatpants LOL. I am a sight let me say. Scott and Dylan went hunting for the day and Justin had to work at the station 7am-2:30. I washed dishes and vacuumed and have laundry going all day. After checking everything online I will then sit and stitch on stocking and watch DVR shows, almost caught up. I just remembered I have a few episodes of Grey's Anatomy on the VCR as well LOL.

My computer still isnt online so still using Dylan's laptop, and wait til I can post a pic of the progress on the stocking, I have gotten a lot accomplished on it.

weird day

I could use some prayers for my dad. He had knee surgery in October and is still in a lot of pain and won't have his other knee done now. My mom called and said that Thanksgiving is off but my dad changed her mind and she called me back.
I have been stitching Fishing Santa Stocking.
Reading Step On a Crack by James Patterson , which is really good.Listening to Envy by Sandra Brown on my MP3 player.
Today I watched General Hospital , Oprah's Favorite Things , Bones and House

If something can go wrong it will

Well Friday the furnace had broken at work. Saturday DH lost his cell phone in the woods, while out hunting, had to fill out a form at the police station so the cell insurance would replace it. Then our home phone has been out all weekend and have to replace phone lines in the house. So I can't use my computer and no pics of stitching. Today I am at Curves when my Supervisor calls and says no work as the furnace is still broken. So I have the day and time to spend with DH.
Saturday I stitched and finished MH Violet Angel and watched Underworld and Underworld:Evolution.
Had a stitch in yesterday with KarenNY and stitched on MH Bee Shep. After she left I stitched some more and then watched Eragon on HBO. What an awesome movie. I have the book but haven't read it and now I know it will get read sometime as the books are always better.
I stitched alot today on Fishing Santa Stocking while watching DVR: Friday's General Hospital, todays episode and SMallville 11/8 and Supernatural 11/8.
Then I read The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers by Lilian Jackson Braun. Anyone that has read her books and loved them will be very disappointed in this book.

TGIF

What a day that I have had. It was snowing this morning, not to bad and most of the roads were clear. I did go to Curves this morning anf got in some workout. Then met DH at the coffee shop a block away.

Got to work and nothing major going on there til late morning and we smell something hot. Seems the reason we were cold is because the furnace was broken. Then my supervisor gets in trouble by what I will call a dweeb down in the main office. Even some of our customers won't talk to him because he is so rude.

I feel like I am coming down with a cold and the weather doesn't help. Scott had to go in and work tonight and then will get out in the morning and go hunting for most of the day so I plan on stitching and watching TV all day tomorrow. I also really need to give the dog a bath. He stinks and feels gross LOL.

Tonight I watched DVR shows while stitching, above pic is my new progress

Smallville - episode 11/1

Supernatural - 11/1

Snow is coming

That is what the weathermen are saying. I am not looking forwards to it at all since I now have a job and don't drive in the snow. I will have to start doing it again :-(

My progress pic of the stocking is above. I am getting there slowly but surely.

TV and stitching

I had to work a little later at work today. Went to the store and dropped off audiobooks at the library. Came home fixed dinner and then watched a DVD:

The Covenant - enjoyed it

watched tonight's Bones and House

Stitched on Fishing Santa Stocking






I also read more of Kitty & The Midnight Hour by Carrie Vaughn, which I am enjoying. Took me awhile to decide if I wanted to finish it. I don't like how the main character is being treated.

Happy Thursday!

I kept busy today and had quite a bit of energy. Got to work and weren't very busy. Computer problems as well and I left at 1:15. Stopped at the bank, went to Subway and then got gas in my car. Went home and cleaned the hall and family room. Lit some candles as well. Spent some time with DH and then sat down with the remote to the DVR and cross stitched. I ended up watching:

GH - last 30 minutes

Smallville - episode 10/11

Supernatural - episode 10/11

Ghost Whisperer - episode 10/12

Women's Murder Club - episode 10/12



At work I listened to my MP3 player and had playing Quentin's by Maeve Binchy.



This is my progress on the stocking:

weird weather

I woke up to it pouring out. DH came home at 7:30am and we were facing each other, talking. I was facing the east window and he was facing the west window. He says it is snowing out and I look out my window and say no , just raining. He says theya re big flakes and I tell him it is just raining so i turn and look out the west window and sure enough it is snowing in the back yard. I turn back around and it is now snowing in the front yard. I head out for work and the snow has picked up. Some parts of the main road had slush and visibility was bad for a few minutes. Had snowed on and off all day. I was all done with my work by 1:30 so my supervisor told me I could go home at 2. A friend of mine, who goes to college a few miles from where I work, said when she got out of college at 3:30 had 2" of snow on the ground. Must have happened right after I left work.

Came home and cleaned the kitchen. My friend also cut Dylan's (DS#2) hair. Looks pretty good.

I downloaded another audiobook to my computer, Maeve Binchy's The Return Journey. That will go on my MP3 player next.



Tonight I watched Bones and House while stitching on BH&G Fishing Santa Stocking.

Read A Peach of a Murder by Livia J. Washburn and only have a few pages left so I will finish that tonight, when I am done here.

At worked I listened to some more of Nights of Rain and Stars by Maeve Binchy.

Good Evening

We were a little busy at work. I came home and decided to clean the living room and my computer desk. Read my emails and a couple of boards.

Then sat and watched TV while stitching.

BH & G Cross Stitch Christmas 1999 - Fishing Santa Stocking. I have the top right panel done but need to do the backstitching tomorrow. I started this in Myrtle Beach and it is for Dylan. He picked it out and I wanted it done for this Christmas as a gift but I don't think it will be done on time. Although the snow will be coming soon and everyone knows I turn into a hermit then LOL.

November is here

Where did October go? Before you know it Christmas will be here.
I finished listening to Tara Road by Maeve Binchy and downloaded Nights of Rain and Stars by Maeve Binchy. I will listen to that at work next. I have tons of books in my bookcase and listening to alot of them to free up my bookcase will be great. I am reading A Peach of a Murder by Livia J. Washburn.
I didn't get any cross stitching in today but I am going to organize my stash better. I really need to do that and I would like to change scissors and fobs every month as well as getting more of the pretty mesh bags with fabric. I have 3 so far and would like 9 more so I can change them every month. Yes, I am probably a freak LOL.
I didn't watch any TV today either but I did DVR Smallville and Supernatural and taped Grey's Anatomy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

It is DHs birthday today so I want to wish him a Happy Birthday :-)

I watched last week's episode of Private Practice and then watched tonight's show. I also finished Peace tree by M Designs from the 2004 JCS ornament issue.

Stitching away

I have been stitching on M Designs Peace Tree from the JCS 2004 ornament magazine. I have all the stitching done and will add the beads tomorrow.
So much has been going on. I went to the 10th Annual Cross Stitch pals Fall Fling in Myrtle Beach and had a blast. I rode with a couple of friends. Ate to much, not enough sleep and bought some stash :-)
Last week DS#1 got his license so I don't have to drive him around anymore. he bought a car back in June so he has that and doesn't have to use my car.
I have been in a cozy mystery reading marathon for some reason. Right now I am reading A Peach of a Murder by Livia J. Washburn. I also bought a Mp3 player and download audiobooks on it to play at work. Right now I am listening to Tara Road by Maeve Binchy.
Also before I left for Myrtle Beach I started a Proboard for cross stitching, reading and media. Check it out

Happy Labor Day weekend!

Friday evening DH and I went to Walmart and got the kid's school supplies.DS#1 will be a senior this year.
Then we visited with my parents.
Saturday DH and I went to Dansville for the Hot Air Balloon festival. We had a good time. DH bought some fudge, he loves the stuff. I got a cute ghost wind chime, for Halloween, of course :-) They had a stall for Italian Charms. 5 for $10 and I want to make my one watch into Nascar so I bought Nascar girl, #8, #3 , #12 and one that says Daytona. To eat I had a rueben sandwich , which was very good and DH had 2 hamburgers.
Today is DS#1's anniversary with his boyfriend. So DH and I are dropping them off to a nice restaurant and then doing some shopping. I need to also sit and stitch on the model that I have. I did do a little bit yesterday and as soon as I am done here I will work on it some more. Yesterday I also watched Perfect Stranger which I had from Netflix.
Right now I am reading The Cat Who dropped A Bombshell by Lilian jackson Braun.
I do have reading goals and stitching goals for September and I will post that seperatly.

good afternoon

I deleted alot of blogs out of my favorites since I didn't check them for so long. I am keeping the ones who post here , even if it is once in a great while. I did post to a few this morning.
I put together the box for a cross stitch exchange ,that was due August 1 and I feel just horrible about it. I am never late.
Caught up on my emails now and deleting some old posts.
This afternoon I plan on stitching , model piece for Twisted Oaks designs , while watching TV shows and NASCAR.

Anyone up for some reading goals with me? I am reading as many cozy mysteries , in September, as I can. Then in October I am going to read as many Halloween themed Cozy Mysteries. November - Februaury I have to get caught up on all my favorite authors and will post those goals as well and see if anyone wants to join me in reading those. Just let me know if you are a reader and would like to be included in anything.

I joined 3 book clubs and 2 came in so far. I received:
Lee Child - Bad Luck & Trouble
Carol Higgins Clark - Laced
Mary Higgins Clark - I Heard That Song Before
Patricia Cornwell - Predator
J. A. Jance - Web of Evil
Kathy Reichs - Break No Bones
JD Robb - Born In Death
JD Robb - Innocent in Death
John Sandford - Invisible Prey
Barbara Taylor Bradford - Just Rewards
Jackie Collins - Drop Dead Beautiful
Danielle Steel - Toxic Bachelors
Danielle Steel - Coming Out
Danielle Steel - Bungalow 2

This week I will also post my want list for books. If any of you are listed in bookcrossing.com or pbs.com then my name is needeler and you can see what is available.

I am here

I am starting to get back into the stitching mode. I just started model stitching something new, for Twisted Oaks Designs.
I have been reading a lot of books this summer and joined more reading Yahoo groups. Right now I am into Cozy Mysteries and trying to collect those for reading. I am reading Candy Apple Dead by Sammi Carter and am loving it.
Watching shows that I DVRd over the summer: The 4400 , The Dead Zone, and Kyle XY.
I really like my job and my 90 days will be up August 29. I don't know where the time has gone. Our place is also moving , which is a good thing. Right now we are in an old building that has 3 floors and many other businesses and it is falling apart. The new place is our own building and double the amount of space that we are in now. There are no plans to hire anyone else though as there wouldn't be enough work for another person. The busy months are September - November.
Things seem to be working out between DH and I and I have been in a much better frame of mind. I also plan on blogging more and starting to read my friend's blogs again.
