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 Stripes. Super close on that one too.

The December Cottage of the Month can easily be finished this month as well. These stitch up pretty fast, it's just a matter of sitting and stitching.

I want to finish June's truck from the Truckin Along series. That will give me 4 of the 12 completed and I have August started.

Buffalo Plaid Summer is on the list to be finished this month. Then I will be ready to start the Fall one when the magazine comes out. Not to mention I still have the Spring one on the end table LOL

And last on my finish list is Pumpkin Picking Day. Granted, I just started it yesterday, but I want it done so I can put it up cause I absolutely love it!

Let's see what I can accomplish :)

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

Lover Unleashed by JR Ward

Are you reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series? If you're not, can I ask why not? And if you're not, I'm going to tell you that I think you need to stop reading this for a few minutes and go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble or some website and either buy you a paper copy or download a copy of Dark Lover and start reading the series (This is a series that HAS to be read in order). This can wait. Go do that and then come back and see what I'm going to say. So this was book 9 in the series. Payne and Manny's story. And while we got their story, I felt it was eclipsed by Payne's brother Vishous. I love getting lost in the Brothers' world. When I open the book and start reading, my children and home all fade away and I'm in Caldwell with them (is Caldwell, NY a real place?). We got introduced to some new vampires in this installment and that was pretty cool. There was NO Lesser pov here and that was more than pretty cool. Just between us

Is it Supposed to be Chewy?

Good Morning! Yes, I'm one of *those* people. The ones who are unusually happy and greet everyone with a "good morning". I use to teach with a lady that would look at me and say, "It's just morning. There isn't anything good about it cause we're at school." I'd just smile in response. Because, really? What is there to say to that? So, I said I was going to try oatmeal this morning. And I have. And the jury is still out on whether or not I like it. I know, you're wondering why I'd try oatmeal if I don't like it. Or better yet, you're wondering how I've never tried oatmeal before. Well, let me explain... I'm a Southerner. Born in southeast Texas, raised in coastal Louisiana, currently shacking up in Alabama. I joke and say you couldn't get much more southern than me since I'm from below I-10 (if you don't understand that, look at the map up there). In fact, I've never lived north of
