Rak, Triops and Mothers Day

So like usual I uploaded my pics wrong. This is a picture of my Triops that I am growing. The picture isn't really good. They are in the upper left corner in the picture. I bought the Triops at Hobby Lobby. With the coupon I think I paid $5ish for them. They start out like sea monkeys. You put the little eggs in the water and they grow. Actual adult size will be about an inch and a half I think. These things are awesome. Everyday they grow and shed their skin. They swim upside down and skim the water for things to eat. I bought them some sun dried shrimp and they love them. I don't think they live long but they are something different. We feed them daily. Now that they are bigger I need to change their water a little more. These are something I would recommend if you want to try something new.

This is what I'm working on for my mom for Mothers Day. There will be a Mother and a daughter and some flowers and things and below the house it says "My Mother My Friend". I think she'll love it. She knows how much I enjoy cross stitching and is always teasing me about never keeping anything for myself. She doesn't know I am making this for her and when she asks what I'm working on I have to lie so she won't know it is for her. I have a lot to go so I'm working my butt off to get it done by Saturday. Think I can do it?

And I got this beauty from Carein. It was a rak. I think this was the first surprise rak I have ever gotten. Thank you so much Carein I love it!! It is hanging proudly on my fridge :)

Thats it for now. Go out and buy some triops and let me see them. I'll take a better pic and post it in the future.

Cory and Bugsy

The picture isn't good quality, really need a new camera, but I love this picture of Cory and Bugsy.

Some Stitchy Updates

Not in a chatty mood so this will be short and to the point, lol.

My Little Heart Sal April is finished :)

The next is my first cube. There is lots of improvement to be made but I don't think it's bad for my first one. The chart is a freebie from http://www.waxingmoondesigns.com/free.html. The chart, floss and all backing was sent during a freebie exchange in krafterskorner. I'm really thinking I need to do the other freebies from waxing moon and make them into cubes too. Hopefully the more I do the better they turn out.

April is done for Oak Haven Designs Sal. I love the colors of floss and aida for this one. I think they match each other perfectly.

This is so cute

The link to this Easter Sal is below. I got all this done in one day.

My Little Heart Sal

Here is my progress so far on the My Little Hearts Sal. Sal can be found here. http://syku66.blogspot.com/
I love this. It is sooo adorable. If you look REALLY hard you can see the hearts on the aida. It is perfect for this. THANKS MARY!! Waiting patiently for next months.
In other news it has been a month since Cory had his seizures. Not sure if he isn't having any b/c the med is working or if this was a one time thing. Dustin isn't in his business as much which means I don't have to be either :) I felt horrible following him to my parents all the time. This week was spring break for the kids. We didn't do anything fun and I'm so ready for school this week. I think Cory is too b/c he has been rotten the last 2 days.

Hope all is well in your world. More updates to come soon.

Totally Finished Biscornu and Frog for Quilt

Bought the buttons for my biscornu yesterday so here you go! Love it and want to show it off :)

Here is a frog I made for a quilt. I'll be sending this to Mary in a few days. This quilt will be going to a very sick kid. The frog is meaningful in his life....Fully Rely on God If you'd like to make charity blocks we'd love to have you in the group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KraftersKornerCharityQuilts/

My First Biscornu!

This is my first biscornu. It is by http://www.creativepoppypatterns.com/barbaraana-spring-biscornu-cross-stitch-xml-214_229-1117.html Isn't this the greatest? I still need some buttons for it but I'm loving it. I was so terrified of making one, but I'm so glad I did, it was so easy and I'm on the lookout for more. I used the 14 ct Aida called Grasshopper.
