I'm a lousy blogger...

What to write??? I have had so many ups and downs this past five months, it's been hard to keep one nostril above water.

Family front: the kids are fabulous and frustrating! They are teens and pre teens and that's all I can say at the moment...

Stitching front: I have completed a couple of Christmas ornaments and started Plum Street's Halloweenies. I have that Christmas heart almost done AND HAVE PROMISED NOT TO START ANOTHER PROJECT UNTIL I FINISH IT--- hence I have not picked up a needle much lately...

My stitching peeps were over for a day of stitching and laughter today. We ate, watched the Da Vinci Code (by watched I mean listened in the background) and maybe put a few stitched to fabric. My kids entertained with their goings on and the complete ability to make me mental. The day ended with Phil having to break into Leisa's van as she locked her keys in:) Great day

Running front: I GOT NOTHING!

Until next time...

Update!

All kinds of stuff going on! I have had some health issues that we think are sorted! Yay! I actually ran 4.5 miles today which I have not done it months! So excited
I thought I had rehearsal today and I don't woot! I can do groceries and sort out my life for next week.
The kids are off school so they have projects to do around here and hopefully we can sort out the garage as we need to have a garage sale!
On the stitching front I have a couple of pics on what I've been working on :)


Until next time,

So much going on...

Crazy days ... I have had extreme ups and downs at work. my boss of 11 years was let go - not for any reason but downsizing. It's been an adjustment. We have managed to come through it and do VERY well as a team. WOOT!

I am in my first production at KAS in April. WOOT! Terrified but yay!

On the kid front. Mags got another part time job. Emma is busy and Ben is Ben. All is well!

On the stitching front I am working on an ornie and pillow. Hopefully I am going to see my Angels next Wednesday and stitch !

Until next time,

A small finish ...

I finished a piece for two very awesome dudes - it's from Julie Jackson's Subversive Cross Stitch - I hope no one is offended as one of the awesome dudes ask me to stitch it:)

Until next time

SOUP

I made the most excellent soup. "The Chew's" Clinton Kelly made this fabulous cream of tomato soup last week- go to The Chew.com for the recipe -SO GOOD! I made it for dinner tonight FABULOUS!!! It's even kid friendly.

We had the Kelowna Actors Studio senior performance troop practising "RENT" tonight. It's great to listen to these kids sing. They are uber talented. Their performance is in April and they are going to blow the roof of the place.

I've been knitting and not stitching- I have made two infinity scarves that the girls are now wearing and suppose that once spring arrives I'll get back to stitching.

I've been off for the past 7 days and it's been full of ups and downs. It can only get better.


Until next time,

The really great thing...

about being so busy is the night you're not you get to catch up on all the pvrd tv. I am currently watching Grey's from the beginning of the season while knitting. Why knitting not sure - probably just too tired for much else.
I guess that's all for now

Until next time...

It's official I cracked a rib because I'm all kinds of awesome

Stupid stupid stupid... I mentioned earlier this week I thought I did something to my rib and it's cracked- AWESOME. This will NOT help the marathon training but I am going to attempt a slow eliptical workout tomorrow and see how it goes

I have not stitched- as I have been busy studying my lines for the masters acting class I'm taking. I am super excited for tonight as THERE IS NOTHING ON! I don't have to drive anyone.I can catch up on my tv and veg. YAY!

Until next time...
