The weekend is here!!!

Posted in Life, Stitching, Work on January 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

My holiday from work ended up lasting another half day. It was very hard for me to go to work but I did. Of course my desk was a disaster when I got there….notes, scattered papers, new discovery requests, a new case file, all the little things that make me crazy because they all need to be done, all take up time I feel I could be doing BIG things, and all create more work in the end once they make themselves back to me. It used to not aggravate me like it does now.

My roof has been repaired. The hole inside has been covered with a lovely clear plastic bag surrounded by metallic silver tape, and the tree in my backyard is now minus a huge limb that used to hang over the back roof. No telling when the hole will be properly repaired. We’re still waiting on a bit of drying out, I think.

We also had the cable people out yesterday afternoon. M was home for that though since I don’t understand that type of stuff. We have a new DVR box, and all of our ‘outlets’ and the ‘home port’ has been upgraded. This is supposed to mean faster internet, among other things. I’ve also been added to the account so hopefully I can get our master email account reset and I can get back into A Needle Pulling Thread so I can suck it into this blog.

Today is the first all day stitchy Saturday at Needlepoints, Ltd. It will be so nice to see the girls. There’s always so much going on there and we usually spend the day laughing most of it away. I am going to be working on my needlepoint all day. Hopefully I’ll be able to add some new stitches that have been drawn out.

I’m also going to be spending the night with Melissa. She has graciously agreed to help me with some computer issues. I’m going to take Summer Queen with me — in case there is stitching tinme — since it will be hard for me to work on the needlepoint piece at her place. I am so close to finishing!

I truly have my stitching mojo back. It’s all I think about. It has been about 2 years, if not more, since I’ve felt that way.

Unexpected holiday

Posted in Life on January 6, 2011 | 3 Comments »

We came home last night to a note stating they (military housing people) were trimming and removing trees in the area. This means someone has to stay home to let them in the backyard (or they’ll cut the locks on the gate). We also had a phone message that they wanted to get in and inspect our attic. This means someone has to stay home to let them in the house so the puppies don’t eat them. Of course the note for the trees covers more than one day. The phone message covers this morning. So, I’m staying home today. If the tree people don’t make it today, M will stay home tomorrow. I would much rather have had tomorrow for my day but M can’t get out of a military obligation for today.

This means I’m stitching all day today! Woohoo!

Before I shut off this time sucker I want to share some puppy photos! We’ve had Jasper for one year now. He is such a large part of our life. It has really been fun watching him turn into a lazy, lovebucket from a frightened, regimented show dog. He’s the perfect example of why rescuing works.

Christmas Aftermath

Posted in Life on December 26, 2010 | 5 Comments »

It was as quiet of a day as expected. M and I finally ate around 2:30. I love being able to take my time in the kitchen. I served turkey breast, stuffing, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, broccoli rice casserole, and rolls. There are enough leftovers to carry us through tomorrow. 😉

I gave M a black wool overcoat. He has been wanting one for awhile and they are so very hard to find around here. It fits him very well and I cannot wait to see him in it over a suit…or even in jeans 😆

My gifts were received before Christmas. I got a Juicy heart choker; pajamas, shirt, and several cosmetic items from a shopping excursion at Sephora. I was also able to order some stitching stash. Specifically the charts for Anniversaries of the Heart by Black Bird Designs, the charts for Lizzie Kate’s Christmas Rules, and Stickideen von der Wiehenburg Rose Quaker.

I’ve been stitching off and on today – on my queen – while watching football.

I think I’ve narrowed down my 2011 Stitching Challenge designs. Man, it’s hard!
