Long, long time...

Wow... has it been a while.  What have you all been doing?  We have been busy living life.  Summer flew by, which I knew it would... but that fast?  We had spring-like, cold, wet weather until July.  Then it was somewhat summerish and cool and wet again in August.  School started (my baby is a freshman!).  It warmed up a little and we had a lovely fall, then winter hit.  We have a good foot of snow on the level and have had snow since just before Thanksgiving.

Stitching... my there's too many projects!!! I have finished stockings for my brother and his wife.  I must say they are lovely!

 I am working on LHN ornaments now for my sister's family and my brother's little girl.  They stitch up quickly! Finishing might be another story but I do plan and finishing them myself.

 I did a quick fun BBD stocking swap!  How FUN!  I hadn't done a BBD stocking, but I may be hooked now!  I also have a Fair & Square Christmas Swap.  Again I chose a BBD.  It's not really in traditional colors so I thought it was different.

I have numerous WIPs  most of them are larger projects.
I really want to do a cover for my Bible.  Has anyone done that before.  I'm thinking of designing it a bit myself... Maybe some quaker motifs and verses and sampler stuff... I don't know.
We found out Corey is allergic to gluten.  So, there is my new challenge.  Which I don't think will be too difficult.  I found a flour mix and made pancakes today... they were good!  So, I should be able to do some Christmas baking.  Our whole family is going to try it (gluten free)
I'm dragging my feet getting my tree decorated.  I found a tree that I wanted... waited for my men to come cut it down... they never showed...  so I walk back to the truck and they decide they aren't going to get that tree... so ok, you pick one out then.  Oh, you should see this tree... it will be a challenge to decorate.  LOL... I guess that's what I get.
Well, I hope you all have a great week!

I'm BACK!

Hey! I'm back... sorry I've been gone so long!  So much going on here... the first year my child played basketball!  We are on our way to District Tournements!  Their team ranked 2 in their league.  He's on the tourney team... but probably won't play much.  He's excited.

Corey has not had a seizure since October 14.  We've got him on a vitamin/mineral diet plan... we've cut back on his meds.  I am so praying he'll be better.  And finally we have an offer on our farm.  Oh, how good it would be to get that sold!!!

So many projects to do... Cross stitch is still my love.  I've been quilting also. 

I've finished 2 more stockings!  How dumb of me though... I forgot pictures before I sent them away! 

Here is the last one... it hasn't been finished yet...  I have 2 more and I think I will be done with those... lol... maybe... ya right!

Stockings...

Isn't it cute...???  This is the 8th Shepherd's Bush stocking that I have stitched! This one is for my niece Emma.  I'll be sending it off to get "finished" soon... am trying to be abitious and get two more done before that... am about 1/4 done with one of them... not very good progress... but they do stitch up remarkably fast!
