The other stockings...

Here are pictures of the other stockings I have stitched . All of them are my stitching except for Marnie's who was stitched by a dear friend who knew I was not going to get them all done in time she gave me one of her finished ones. I am so pleased we were all together this year and I was able to get a picture of theirs. 

I spent some time stitching this afternoon with the Angel ladies this afternoon. It was nice. I worked on"Yuletide" by Plum Street. It was a great afternoon with great friends so nice... 

Until next time...

Was Santa good to you???

I am so lucky to have such a thoughtful family. I got some super gifts --- Coco Channel for one... Lulu gift certificates and fuzzy socks. LUCKY!

On the stitching front I have not done much... I finished another ornament and that's about it. I hope to do a little at work tonight on my break but we shall see. We are starting to get reved up for Disney. It will be here before we know it! So much fun!

We had some unexpected sleepover guests - my nephews so I am off to make a big breakfast.


Until next time...

Here it is Christmas Eve...

Today isn't my favourite day but my heart was made so much lighter as I spent it with the people I love the most! The only missing link was my big bro and his family who we will get to see on the 26th. I finished two more ornies... on a roll and will take pictures tomorrow.

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!


Until next time...

Two more days of work and two days off...

The final push is happening at work and hopefully tomorrow will see the end of the crankies. People are so cranky right now. I always say the 20th of December is the CRANKIEST DAY OF THE YEAR. I had a woman yesterday gave me "tude" regarding how full her cup was going to be before I had even filled it. Oh my! She was just nasty  perhaps to make herself feel empowered... give the barista crap and my day will get so much better... oh well...
I finished another ornie but am in bed so I have not taken a picture yet... sorry. I am getting a cold and hoping all the vitamin c I am taking will help... I may have to bring out the Neo Vodka soon...

Until next time...

He's home and I've done pretty much NOTHING today...

Here it is Monday. I took today off as I want to work thru the rest of the week as it will be the big Christmas push.

Phil made it home last night and is his usual pee on all the bushes self as he is whenever he has been away. I love him and missed him but I really don't miss the first day he is home... lol. He is exhausted and I really should n't be too hard on him. I made a "family" purchase while he was away for the theatre room. Ben put the stickers on and we are leaving them that way. Ben can't wait to test it out :)

I have made chicken in the crockpot and am told we are having a game of Monopoly tonight so it's probably good I haven't done anything productive today lol. I also made true nuts and bolts as Annie finished last night and none of us have a nuts allergy here

This is what I have been working on beside my bed. I do get tired of the all black but it's coming along.

That's all for today. I am going to have to wake Phil up as he wont sleep tonight lol.

Until next time...

Tomorrow is Sunday...

Yet another full day tomorrow.  It seems to be everyone's lot in life right now...  Emma's last Annie is tomorrow so we have a wrap up party. YAY! Phil tells me he is travelling tomorrow which means he should be home Monday. I am off Monday too so it is going to be the last push for Christmas.

I managed to start Yule Tide finally. It's so cute. I am having fun stitching it. I decided on using dmc and the colours are beautiful. I was planning on doing a little stitching tonight so hopefully I will have more to show tomorrow.


Until next time...

Day off and FULL DAY!

Oh what a life I lead! I am off today-yay! Last night was my last den mom shift for Annie. These girls are amazingly talented and it is a great production. It's been fun being behind the scenes, I am truly glad my stint is done as I am tired... I did sleep in until 6:00am - which is good for me. I have a drs app and all kinds of other errands to run today so it will be a full day. It's the Angel ladies Christmas get together tonight out at Pam's. I am so looking forward to seeing the ladies.

On the stitching front... I am happy to report the last hat is done and hopefully in my spare time today I will put it together. I started Plum Street's Yule Tide last night and will bring it along with me on my travels today. I will get a picture posted later. I have been contemplating stitching goals for the coming year and have decided to finish Halloween Rules - someone is doing a stitch along finish so I think that is something I'll join. I also would like to get a dent in Quaker Christmas and Quaker Halloween. That's enough...  Maybe a few Halloween purse type projects but ...lol

I'm off to start my day...


Until next time...

Unexpected sick day

Master Ben is sick and I came home to watch him sleep... I am taking advantage of what time I have to nap and do laundry.

It was a full weekend. I was den mom at Annie both Sat and Sun pm- such a talented group of girls. They steal the show. I spent Sunday making two ornaments ( one more than last Sunday lol) getting a tree and general kp

Here are Maggie, Erik (Mags boyfriend) and Ben getting ready to decorate the tree. We had our managers Christmas lunch on Monday and we decided to stop at Winners after where I purchased all this ribbon. I was mocked by those who do not craft but it was worth it. Each roll has 4 feet and there is 24 in each pack for $14.99.

This week is full of all kinds of adventures so I will check in again soon.


Until next time...

Wednesday again...

Busy day ahead. The Angels were over on Sunday for ornament finishing and lunch. One ornament was finished and only because we had to produce something lol. I gave that ornament away and didn't take a picture...

I have to renew my passport today for our trip to Disney World . I plan on having a snooze before that as I'm tired today. Time to vitamin up and get a lot of sleep. Phil is working away so single parent life needs a lot of energy.

On the stitching front... I've got nothing. NOTHING. Bummer--- oh wait - I bought $45.00 worth of ribbon to help finish my ornament lol.


Until next time...

Annie was amazing but the migraine headache is not ...

Unless you count the migraine to be amazingly painful. I have slept all day and it has helped a bit but not a whole lot. Still no stitching done and it is frustrating. Oh well maybe this will be the only one of the holiday season...

Until next time...
