Mid-March already??

It's already mid-March. When did that happen? Was it when I was busy at work? Was it when I was trying to do anything but clean the house? Was it while I spent hours reading? Or while I spent hours cross stitching? All I know is that I woke up this morning at 4:30 and was astounded that it was already almost the middle of March.

And you are probably wondering what is so special about the middle of March, aren't you? Well, my oldest daughter's birthday is Sunday, the 14th. And my only grandson's birthday is on Tuesday the 16th. And let's not forget that I turned the BIG 5-0 on Tuesday of this week! March is a special month in our family.

To celebrate my birthday, Lola got me an amazing Cuisinart stand mixer in a beautiful aquaish Tiffany blue.

Then when I got home that night, Jenna had blown up 50 black balloons and had them all over the house. Emery has loved playing with them all week.

I am thankful for all the things I have and for all the people in my life that I love. These past 50 years have been splendid and I pray that I have many more.

Until next time...

Naked in Death by JD Robb

"I don't think I'm in love with you anymore, I know I am." Oh. my. gah. I am sooo in love with Roarke! Holy balls! Why did I wait so long to read this? (actually I listened) It's like an amazing episode of CSI or Law & Order or some show like that....not that I watch tv all that often, but yeah, Lt Eve Dallas would put those shows to shame! The crime solving portion of the book, which honestly was the majority of the book, was great. There was enough creep factor to the crime and the reasoning when you found out who it was that did it and why, but it wasn't so bad that you wanted to put it down. It just made me mad that I couldn't have killed the pervy old man myself. This is definitely a series I will continue. It may also just convert me to an audio book listener....as you may or may not know, my previous attempts at listening have not gone so well. But this kept my attention pretty well and I loved the voice characterization of Roa...

August of Accomplishments

The Oxford definition for ACCOMPLISHMENT is "something that has been achieved successfully". I am claiming August as the Month of Accomplishments for my massive cross stitch WIP collection. My plan is to finish some of the WIPs that are close to being finished or that I have had in the WIP pile for a long time. Here's a look at my stitching spot...Notice the basket on the floor, it is full of WIPs. Notice the pile on the sofa, it's all WIPs. I have got to get some of these gone, especially since I LOVE starting new projects. So, am thinking I will work on Calvin and Trixie. I am sooooo close on this one. I even bought finishing fabric for it. I think I will try to complete the January SAL from Little House and Country Cottage Stitching Group on Facebook. The theme was winter. I bought finishing fabric for this too. I also want to finish up Seasons in Chalk: Stars and S...

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
