a little pissed

go to www.shelbystar.com for all the details on this.
but Jeramiah Swafford's step father was found GUILTY of Aggrvated child abuse not MURDER. this just makes me sick. that baby was only 2, when he died. The mother(if that is what you call her) is going on trail in March of this year. So maybe she will be found guilty of murder.
This just rubs me the wrong way. I know insent until proven guilty. but at least he was found guilty on 1 thing though. but only 5-15 years in prison. is it fair?

NOt really a start but a UFO


this I started a few years back, it became a ufo - which I found when going through my stash. So I am going to put it in the rotation this year.

other kitten- grand cat


this is Dizzy, the cat who is not a good stitching cat. She is into everything. She hops up into the middle of the project I am working on & tries to get the floss.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Helper or henderer


sometimes he sits there while I stitch other times he is trying to take my floss away. This is the older on, we do have a kitten now, & she sits right in the middle of my hoop, like ok what now. I know I saw floss.... I actually have them some old floss they can play with while I am stitching.(bunch of kids) lol

Start # 21


I didnt really do any stiching on it last night. This one came with 2 hanks of floss. & I had to seperate it all out, got most of the sorting of the floss done, hoping to get a stitch or 2 in this today. It is a x-mas tree skirt, this is a stamped tree skirt. I alos have the matching blanket to do as well.

DC

DC
is offically out of high school now. He graduated early. In March he will be going to basic training!!!!!!!
congrats to my baby boy. I am so proud of you

Finally Friday

Well Friday is here again. So glad too. but here it is supposed to start raining later this afternoon, & most of the day on Sat. So some good stitching weather.
Since Monday I really haven't been able to stitch. However I have been cleaning out my cross-stitch books & magazines. I didn't realize how much I had.

Will try & get more started for 2012 crazy January challenge. I know I am behind. BUt I am trying to clean up my house as well, trying to do spring cleaning, a little early, but I am having surgery at the end of Feb. so more stitching time then.

Hubby is taking me out to lunch today, can't wait. We haven't been out by ourselves in along time. So we can enjoy each others company. without the kids around. lol

Still have NOT heard from the insurance company about my truck. I am getting very fed up , so off to hire an attorney to deal with this mess.

In case you didn't know. my Son DC was driving my trcuk on DEC 21,2011 & someone rearened him. I will post a pix of the truck. He is okay -- thank God for that, but it took me a week to get a rental car. & needless to say I have heard back from 1 person telling me I am getting to another person now, this is 4 different people from this insrunace company that I have dealt with--- try to deal with. las time I heard from them was Jan 9, 2012, I have called & left 3 messages with the last person they told me to talk to, Plus 2 messages to the one guy who would talk to me. guess not now.
Still waiting on the dr office to call & say when my surgery is. will keep you updated

have a great weekend

well it's Finally Friday & it's also Friday the 13.
& it's a holiday weekend, 3 days off. Maybe I can get a few things caught up on my stitching.
I also need to finish cleaning out my room, because I will be having surgery soon.
just don't know when yet.
So I kind of need to do some spring cleaning. lol
I didn't get to do it last year & it really needs it this year. Outside is going to be needing lots of attention too. shrubs need pruning. bushes needs to be trimmed back, garden needs some work too. but will have to wait till it gets warmer to work outside.
It finally has turned a little cooler here in NC, It finally feels like winter. no snow yet. but we will see how winter progresses.
hope you all have a great stitching weekend.

Tuesday Jan 10

well it has not been a fun day so far. Weather here is lousy, foggy, cloudy, dreary, etc.
As most of you know I battled breast cancer last year & won. I had a lumpectomoy done the 33 treatments of radiation. The first of Decemeber I woke up one morning & went to the bathroom- noticed I was bleeding & passing clots, come to find out this is a side effect of the Tamoxifen. which it thickens the uterus. So I had to have a DNC done. finally stopped bleeding after about a week. Then guess what happened today.
I woke up bleeding again, so now I am waiting to hear from my OB/GYN dr. to see what he is going to do this time. Hopefully a full hysteromoy & be done with it once & for all. Then they will have to switch me to something other than tamoxifen, but oh well, I can live with that. Being a breast cancer patient I have to be careful with what I can take. NO HORMONES what so ever. NO BIRTH CONTROL PILLS either. Just suffer through the night sweets & hot flashes. I have more of the night sweets than anything else. They have put me on effexer(SP?) they have had to up the dosage of it. NOw it seems to be working. The night sweets aren't as bad, but I still have them.

Good Monday morning all

I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend.
On Sat I really didn't do much of anything. I woke up late & was very lazy all day. Did get some laundry washed.
On SUnday we went to brunch- didn't get up early either. Brunch was after 1p. Then we to get gas befoire going back to the house. David Helped me to finish cleaning out our closet very proud we got it done(only been working on it 1.5 weeks), now to work on the rest of our bedroom.lol
IT really needs it bad. I din't get to do Spring cleaning last year due to cancer. so this year I am making up for it. Everything is going to be throughly cleaned out.
Did get out the box of DC's baby stuff, I saved so the Kids could have it for grandbaby.
will be getting the crib down later, so we can get it cleaned up for baby too.
Can you tell we are very excited about the grandbaby!!!! Hopefully next month they will be able to tell us the sex of the baby as well.
