December Already!!!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Holiday! 

Our 3 children, SIL,DIL, & 3 grandchildren spent the day with us.

Lots of food, enjoyed watching the kids play, and of course looking through Black Friday ads.

I don't do the Black Friday shopping but I like to look at the ads and get ideas. Then I tell  my daughters what they can buy me for christmas. hehe

November has been a busy month for some reason - so not as much stitching for me. 

I did finish Hope for the Holidays

Hope for the Holidays
Primrose Needleworks - Elizabeth Gorski
28 ct Monaco Antq. White
Called for GAST & CC Floss
Started - 11-8-13
Finished 11-24-13

After I finished Hope I started on We Three Kings again.

This is as of Oct 30, 2013

And this is as of  Dec 1, 2013

This dark material is a b---ch to work on, I have not done so much frogging in all my life! and its not hard to get one stitch off and then you have to go back and fix it or everything is off.

Last but not least is a picture of my grandkids that I took by the river we live near.

Well thats about it for me today.

I hope everyone has a great week!

Happy Stitching

Good Morning Everyone!

Since my last post life got a little sad and busy around here. 

On the 5th my Sister in Law passed away suddenly at the age of 47. Her husband (my brother in law) took this very hard. We helped him through the funeral and now we are helping him clean out of the house they had shared. She had become a Hoarder in the last few years. We have spent the last 2 days cleaning and going through all the stuff, and we are still not done. I am taking the day off to get caught up with stuff around here. The real sad part is that her daughter is due to have a baby in the next month or so. 

Life keeps moving on!

Before this all started I did get some stitching done and a piece started.

I  hope to get some stitching in today but we will see what I get accomplished.

Happy Stitching
