Still Standing by Kristen Ashley

I have a love/hate relationship with Kristen Ashley's books. I've been reading her stuff since 2012. Some of them, I have absolutely LOVED - The Gamble, I am looking at you. Some I have quit reading without even making it to the half way point - the Honey series *shivers* just NO. I have felt that the last few books I have read/attempted to read by her just haven't been in her style. Kristen Ashley is wordy and descriptive. Her characters are some times so aggravating, but at the same time you love them. Well, with Still Standing I think she has gone back to that type of writing that her followers all across the world fell in love with.

Yes, Clara was a bit trying at times. She seemed a bit lost, and with good reason. But she had such a good heart. And let's not forget Buck and his alpha-ness. But under that jerk he was sweet and loyal. I loved that he spoke in full sentences - if you are a KA reader, you TOTALLY get that 😂

Anyway, this comes out tomorrow. Grab your copy on Amazon . I really think you will enjoy this. I am looking forward to more from this series. It has lots of possibilities.

If you are a Kristen Ashley fan, let me know which one of her books is your favorite! And if you pick up Still Standing, let me know what you think when you finish it!

Until next time...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

So Harley has this interview to do

for church. She's suppose to interview one of the "older" members of the church about their Christmas memories and she'll have a presentation to do in front of the whole church at one of our Christmas programs. That is all fine and dandy, but she's in 3rd grade. Can you see her trying to take notes for when they answer her question of "what is your most memorable Christmas memory?" There is no way she can write even half way fast enough to get it down. I understand what they're trying to do and it's great! But what were they thinking asking a 3rd grader to do it? We have tons of 6th graders...let them do it. I'm tempted not to even bring her tonight for it. What should I do?

WIP Wednesday...on Thursday

I started this post yesterday. Several times. But, I got busy doing other stuff and this got pushed to the side. I finally have a few free minutes today so I figured I would come back to it LOL Really, I am procrastinating on doing my last case study for the management class I am taking 😉 So, this is titled WIP Wednesday. I decided I would start sharing my cross stitch WIPs with you. I started cross stitching MANY years ago. I've done pieces and given them as birthday, graduation and wedding gifts. I made the whole family matching Christmas stockings. Even got two of the three grandbabies stockings made after a long break from cross stitch while I sewed children's clothes and went to school. But, I picked cross stitch back up a couple of years ago and quickly remembered why I love it so much. It's almost mindless work for me. It keeps my attention just enough to make ignore all else, but not enough thought has to b...
