<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been working on 3 different projects since I last posted. 2 are ones that I have been working on and 1 is a new start. Really need to control myself when it comes to new starts and get some finishes in first. (that probably won't happen)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Couldn't get it to turn the right direction but it's a good picture of my work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My new start is a towel for my kitchen. I have a towel bar on my refrigerator and that is where I hang the towels that I stitch. Here is a picture of a few of my stitched towels. I have a couple for Valentines Day, St Patricks Day and one for Easter that I have put away.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have any fall towels so when I saw this book at Hobby Lobby on Thursday I had to have it! We will see how many I get done! It feels funny stitching on the towels as most of them are 14 count and it has been a long time since I have used 14 ct. Its a lot easier on the eyes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

In cleaning out my dad's stuff I found a framed picture that I painted in my early teens. I remember spending some time at the lake with my grandparents and my grandma gave me this project to work on. Do any of you remember Artex paints? Well I used them to paint this picture and it hung in my parents kitchen for many years and now I have it in my kitchen.</div>

We had a busy weekend - Terry went truck pulling on Friday night, I didn't get to go because I was working. Then we had another pull on Saturday afternoon, the weather was beautiful while the pull was going on. We got the truck home and the rain started - we ended up with 6 inches of rain in an hour or so. You can imagine all the water standing around and lots of flash flooding and roads being closed. </div>

We spent the weekend of May 8th with our daughter and grand kids camping. It was a little cold and rained Saturday night but we had a great time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
May 12 I traveled to Mitchell SD for PSE training for my Post Office job. Friday May 15 was our testing day and I pass so I still have my job. Ya me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday May 14th while in Mitchell I got a call that my Dad was taken to the VA Hospital - COPD flair up. We spoke with the Dr. and was told that Dad only had a short time left. So my sister flew in from New Mexico on Sunday and while we were out having supper we got the call that he had passed away.<br />

Good Morning Everyone!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again it has been a while since I posted, but things have started to settle down around here. So its time for a little up date on what has kept me busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I work for the post office as a PMR and took my test to become a PSE and pass it. YA more money</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Farm taxes are done and turned in to the accountant (and we get a refund this year - YA)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Mother in law had open heart surgery last week and is home and doing good. YA!!!<br />
We spent time with some of my husbands family for Easter Sunday. It was a great day of visiting and eating some good food. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This week has been spent getting caught up on laundry and deep cleaning the house. Oh and keeping an eye on the cows, as of yesterday we have 5 new baby calves, only 20 more to deliver </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now for the real fun stuff - my Stitching. I don't feel like I have accomplished a lot since my last update but I guess its better than nothing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good Morning Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Go figure, I don't post for almost a month and now this is my second one in the last couple of days. But I did tell you I had a new start so I wanted to show you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last Wednesday I went to Watertown, SD for my Postal Test (and I passed it, so I still have a job) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway in Watertown they have a framing and small stitching shop so I stop to see if there was anything that I could not live without.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This new start was one of my purchases and I got the frame for it also. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="center">
And I already have a spot picked out to hang it in my kitchen.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
This is a short post today, I need to get a shower and head to the Heart Hospital as my Mother in law is having a pace maker put in today. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Happy Stitching</div>

Good Morning Everyone!</div>
<div align="center">
Time fly's by and Its been awhile since I blogged.</div>
<div align="center">
Stitching has been off and on for me. I have been working on getting my taxes done so I could get them to the tax man. Last weekend I went to Lake Shetek for a weekend stitching retreat with about 35 other women. Some cross stitched, some quilted and some scrap booked, lots of creativity going on.

Good Morning Everyone!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I got the husband off on his snow mobile trip to WY this morning , so that means I have the 4 days to myself! I don't have to cook if I don't want to and If I don't cook that means no dishes to do (I hate dishes) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last weekend my daughters and I went to a Martina Mcbride concert, it was awesome! We went out and had Mexican for supper before the concert which was excellent also!!!! That was Friday night and Saturday my grandson's had basketball tournaments until 2:00 - I very much enjoyed the morning sitting and watching them play. Then I headed to Madison for Kacee's 9th birthday party, at the community center so the kids could swim in the indoor pool they had a blast. I didn't get home until about 7:00 and I was ready to sit and put my feet up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday I also finished stitching the main part of Woodland Folks so now all I have to do is add the clouds and Zachary's birth information.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have had a couple of new starts this past week - the first one I saw on ebay and wanted it really bad. I bid on it and end up being out bid at the last minute. So I went searching to see if I could find another one. Ended up ordering it from 123 Stitch. The funny part is that I got the pattern and the called for floss for less than what the person on ebay paid for her pattern so I turn out the winner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my progress on Rose Garden</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I can not remember the last time I used 14 ct Aida, but I had a pretty piece of light blue ( which you can't see by my picture) which matched the floss that I am using perfectly. (14ct is also easier on the eyes) Kinda fun to switch it up a little.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to work this afternoon but have tomorrow off from work. I plan to go and get my nails done and do a little shopping. Then tomorrow night my granddaughter will perform at half time of the basketball game. This will be the first time that I will see her dance with her group. Should be fun to watch.</div>

Good Morning Everyone!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last couple of days I have been working in my sewing room. It seems that when I finish a project I have a tendency to leave it lay on the counter, and start a new project. So I put away a lot of threads and organized my fabric. Generally cleaned up the sewing room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I was putting things away I came across something that I started back in Sept. and only worked on it for a couple of days but its almost done. And I never blogged about it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of backstitching in the grass and the log. I am not going to put this one away this week, I would like to get some more backstitching done on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when I need to take a break from the backstitching I will work on a new start.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was playing with my stash the other day and this one jump out at me so I found some fabric that would work and the DMC floss. It calls for 3 Classic Colorworks that I didn't have so I am sticking with the DMC.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this is where I am this morning on it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really debated changing the ecru snow to a bright white but in the end decided I like the ecru. So we will see if I like it when it is completed.<br />
<br />
I have been playing on ebay this last week and have made some purchases. One thing that I was hoping to win was a Blackbird Design - Rose Garden. But someone went higher than I was willing to go. So I didn't win it and was determined to fine me one. I went to 123 Stitch and ordered it and the 3 skeins of floss it called for. I purchased the pattern and floss for the same amount that she paid for her pattern on ebay. Sometime ebay is not the way to go.<br />
<br />
Well I think its time to get back to my stitching!<br />
Happy Stitching<br />

Good Morning Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a busy day planned but wanted to get a post out there before it gets started.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I have to go get tags for our vehicles, stop at the ASCS office and talk to them about the farm program, then head south to Sioux Falls and order new glasses for the husband and I have my eye exam at 11:00am,& planning on getting my nails done. Then back home to get ready to go out with my daughter tonight, we are going to go out for supper and then watch bull riding at the Expo. I have watch bull riding on TV but never seen it in person, so it should be fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for an update on my stitching</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas Blessings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flip it - Joy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a quick stitch! I now have 9 of these done and 3 left to stitch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next thing I worked on was Christmas Envelope Cards. I was hoping to finish it by today but that didn't happen but I did make great progress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y0pThrwBgqU/VMJIBHOzlyI/AAAAAAAAGQY/xzoykX-Xg-g/s1600/IMG_0215%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y0pThrwBgqU/VMJIBHOzlyI/AAAAAAAAGQY/xzoykX-Xg-g/s1600/IMG_0215%5B1%5D.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is only one of six envelopes that I found on Pinterest. And beings I work at a small Post Office in our community I thought they would be fun to stitch and display in my office at Christmas time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My plan for the weekend and next week is working on Woodland folks - which reminds me I need to order a skein of green for it. I will have to do that after i finish this post. There is a lot of backstitching to get done on this piece. And there is the possibility that I might get this one done by next Friday. We will see what this next week brings me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I leave you with a picture of my granddaughter, she is learning to drive a snowmobile that once belong to her older brother. She is not as excited about driving it as he was. She would rather be inside with me, but she had fun.</div>
