It's been a long time.....

First, thank you one and all for all your comments from my last post! 

I have just not been in the mood for anything! My stitching has slowed to a stop, since October, the only thing I finished was Harley's Ornament, well should say turned it into an ornament, the stitching has been done for a couple of years! It's Furry Paws Name Tags, from Veeandco.com. Now, I just have to get the rest of my Name*Flakes finished!

Harley's Furry Paws Ornament

Last week I went with Andrea and Miranda to Winter Wonderland in Chicago, on Navy Pier. We had fun!

Andrea and Miranda

The last is the Tree that they had in the Grand Ballroom.....I would really hate to put all those lights on that tree!

They has rides for the kids...for a price, they could decorate a cookie, the decorations were beautiful! An Ice Skating rink inside, and of course Santa and Mrs Claus!

I do have an update on Andrea's Wedding Sampler! I missed their Anniversary, and was hoping for Christmas, and it doesn't look like I will make that also!

Enjoy your day!

Halloween

Witches Cauldron

I finished my Witches Cauldron's....The white pumpkin is where I park my hat! LOL  Andrea is going to get one, David already got his, and then one left for me. They are very easy to make, The Cauldron is filled with crumbed newspaper and then sprayed with foaming insulation, painted green when dried and I added a second layer of green paint with glitter. The legs are pool noodles cut in half and a wooden rod down the middle so they don't fall over! Then decorate as you want.

I am hoping Andrea takes the big one, don't know where I would put it! The sad thing is they can't go outside, the rain might not agree with them.

I haven't done any stitching in a few weeks I have been sick, if I don't feel better by Wednesday I do have a Dr. appointment.

Enjoy the Day!

Long Over Due.....

It has been a while since I last posted! There is no excuse, just wasn't in a mood! So let's get going, I have a couple of finishes!  I did 2 model stitches for Vee they were so fun to stitch up! Plus I got to use my imagination to frame them! This one is called "Enter If You Dare", the other one is "Witch's Parking Violators Will Be Toad" Go to her site and check out her designs!

In September we went to my nephew's wedding in MN! We had a good time, my first time there so we went to Mall of America! I think if I spent a week there I would never see the whole thing! We took my dad to Dick's Last Resort, he was never there and was very surprised about the service, but loved it!

My Dad

The girls had fun on the rides and so did the big kids, They went on the rides also!
