Birthday Continued Pets and Corys New Room

I've had a busy week. My daughter moved in with her boyfriend on Saturday. I miss her like crazy but have been staying busy. Got lots of pics to show you this week. 

This is Roo. She is 4 months. She is as bad as having a toddler. Always have to pick up her messes. 

 Cindy in thestitcherhood yahoogroup sent Cory an awesome package. Poor little guy is always sick. He loved this so much :) Thank you Cindy for making his day. That was soo sweet of you.

Here's a couple of pics of our new babies. They were born Monday the 23rd. There are 4 babies. All are super cute. We was a few months late on getting Sal fixed :( Really don't need more pets...


To keep busy this week we have been fixing up Quincys old room for Cory. His old one was tiny. Please don't judge when you see the pic. This is the ultimate worst it has ever been. He dragged home the plastic kitchen a few days ago and didn't want to leave it outside because he was afraid the dogs would eat it. It is out there now. I haven't cleaned his room for a while knowing he would be moving into the new room. For the record he is usually only in there to watch t.v. or to mess it the second I clean it. 

 I forgot to take a before picture of Quincys room. The wall that is already painted was orange and the rest of the walls were purple. Cory came in to help but got fired after he painted the electrical outlet. 

 Here is his finished room. The things on the wall are Phineas and Ferb decals. The paint matches Perry (wasn't planned that way). Cory loves it. This room is huge compared to the old one. His bed is big and he has a bigger t.v (that is 15 years old). Hoping the t.v lasts a while longer so we can save up. I threw away so much that it filled our dumpster. It doesn't get emptied until Wednesday so I don't know what we will do with our trash but I am glad the room is cleaned. 

 Here is Corys old room all cleaned up. It is now my room for my treasures :) The dresser by the window is going to Quincy then I can rearrange it. I want to put up some shelves but that will have to wait until we get some money. It took 2 days to do everything. SOOOO glad it is done. The rest of the house is trashed but I'm ok with that for now.

 Got some more birthday goodies this week. These are from Kaghos. Thank you Kaghos. I love these. 

 I ordered these with the gift cards I received. I'll probably start on the horse after I get caught up on the Sweet Flowers SAL because I want to give it to Quincy. I think she will love it. 

Lastly is the April part of the Kyk SAL. I still think I am going to stitch these again to make a 15 sided biscornu. These are fun and quick to stitch.


Thanks for looking :)

Birthday Exchange 2012

In one of the yahoo groups I am in we are doing a birthday exchange. It has been so fun picking out gifts and of course receiving. My birthday was April 12th. What a fun time I had opening everything. On top of all of this I also got gift certificates totaling $35 from 123stitch. Should be a few more goodies on the way later this month. I am ok with that, I say stretch it for the month of April, lol.

New Finish GRATEFUL

I started this slast year and just got around to finishing it. Not sure if I will make it into a cube, flat fold or frame it. It is called Grateful by OakHaven Designs. It was a freebie last year. I stitched it on some fabby I dyed with coffee and tea. Looks good together.

It's Been A While

It's been a while since I've posted anything, could be because I haven't been stitching much. I've been so busy with a sick kid and spring break vacation that I haven't been stitching much. I miss it.

This is March of the Blueladie Designs SAL. I had originally thought I would make a 15 sided biscornu but when I saw the words I had to go with it. Still thinking I will stitch these again since they are quickies and make the biscornu. The colors are so pretty and the fabric is a glittery yellow.









This is the Sweet Flowers SAL by Angie Designer. I am a little behind on this but hoping to get caught up soon. This is the first part. Waiting to receive the next section.

Grand Marquoir

I had started Grand Marquoir ages ago but I had started it on 28 ct. before I knew what over 2 meant, lol. That was nuts so I've started it over on 18 count. Loving it. The first pic shows the colors I was originally going to use. Decided the pale color was too light and switched it to a gold.

Neither picture shows the colors good but I'm happy to be finished with "A"

Finished OakHaven Owl SAL

I have a few finishes this week but only one of them is cross stitching. I have finished the OakHaven Owl SAL. I loved this! SALs are my favorite thing. I have a few I'm doing this year. Now that this one is finished I can start on the others.




My hubbys grandma loved doing puzzles. I've been thinking of her alot this week and bought a set of 10 puzzles. I got 2 finished this week. Both of them had 300 pieces so they weren't overly big. They are so pretty. I am pretty sure I have seen these in cross stitch form. I don't think I would be brave enough to attempt that. Way too many colors and confetti for me, lol.

No Crazy Challenges for Me

Happy New Years everyone. There are so many doing crazy challenges this year but I've decided not to. I have a trillion things started and plan to start a trillion more this year but I DON'T want to do them all at once. I'm not that organized to do that, lol. I do plan on working in as many SALs as I can so if you know of any pass them my way :) For those that like blog giveaways Sarah at http://craftymoo-sarah.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-new-year-january-give-away.html is having a huge giveaway.
