Trick or Treat

I am too old for this. Recently got back from that annual walk with Matthew. He was asleep about 10 minutes after we walked in the door. I am beat as well but plan to stitch for awhile. He still isn't feeling well..has a bad cold. I've started coughing as well. I do have to work the rest of the week but it is a light schedule. Hopefully I will sleep well tonight...I did do a little stash shopping today.


Time to make the xs!

I have been stitching so much that....

my right hand hurts..lol! I hold my q-snap in my left and then stitch with my right. It hurts in the palm. Good news is I should have a finish within a few days. It is the dump truck for charity. I wanted to mail it by Nov. 1 and I might not quite make that but I'll be close. Then I need to start the ornament for St. Louis stitchers. I should not have a problem getting that done. I am finding that I have been stitching for 3-4 hours a day lately. Matthew was off sick on Monday therefore I was off as well. Today I worked but have been stitching this evening. Tomorrow(Halloween)I am off but have a doctor appt and plan a trip to the stitch shop. I am getting the stuff to do the snowman in Just Cross Stitch. I slept better Sunday night but not so well on Monday night. Hope tonight is better. I am off to make more xs!

Night!

Finished a book

last night...see my book blog.

Rough Weekend

Well it has been a tough weekend. I am not sure why exactly. I am still not feeling well and have started to have bizarre hip pain which is NOT good. Plus M has had trouble with friends all weekend and that is stressing me. I really miss Frank. I have noticed I am not doing so well when I am not stitching. I haven't felt like stitching in days and I am really down. Tonight I will pick up a needle at least for awhile and see if it improves the mood. Amazing what making small xs in fabric will do for you. On that note, I am going to put my jammies on and make some xs.

Have a great night!

well let's see...it's after 2am

Am I sleeping...NO, stitching....NO, shopping...well not really. Just looking...lol! Matthew is at a gymnastics Halloween overnighter and it is strange to be in the house alone with the dogs. I miss my hubby and son tonight. So not much sleeping going on. I haven't stitched in days and must get back to it sometime on Sunday. I need to get that charity square finished and off to Australis. Then I have one ornament due December first. After that I am taking some time off. Not from stitching..but from stitching for someone other than me or my immediate family. Well I am actually getting a little sleeping. Maybe tonight will be the night I sleep. Of course I have to pick M up from her over night in less than 4 hours. Maybe I should just stay awake. Well I am off to have a snack and then I will read.

Good Night!

Saturday

This is the jar wrapper I got today from Sibyl in Switzerland. Isn't it cool! I have had a bad day. Mostly kid stuff but I am wiped. Hopefully I can stitch tonight.

More later...

My day

Well so today was interesting. First of all, I resisted my buying last night and only placed an order at amazon...lol...and I am NOT telling anyone what I ordered. Anyhoo work wise was not good. I am still not feeling well..long story but it's med related with my Crohn's Disease. I have a doctor appointment with GI next week and hopefully I will then feel better. But some good news....today I found me a sitter...YAY!! She is available for when I go stitching! So come November I am back in the adult world. Matthew will go to her house and "play" with her boys who are 8 and 10. Best part is that it is only about 10 minutes from where I go stitching. Isn't that wonderful! But then...I came home and realized I didn't have my house keys...I had them when I left the house. So they are one of three places..the sitter's house, Joe's Crab Shack or the Christian book store. I have already called Joe's..not there so that leaves either the sitter or book store. The store was closed and I didn't want to call the sitter this late. Now obviously we got in the house. Luckily(I guess)matthew hadn't shut the door tight enough so a hard push and we were in. Normally he'd be in trouble for that but I just didn't have the heart...

Good Night!
