My Bio

I am 46 years old, married to my DH for 26 years this July! We celebrated our 25th anniversary last year by taking our first cruise and I am hooked! I tell people we were celebratin 25 years of my not murdering him in his sleep!image
We have 5 wonderful children ranging from 33 to 12 years of age. I have 3 grandsons, no granddaughters yet, keep hoping though. Maybe my daughter will give me the granddaughters I crave when she is married!
I have 4 cats whose names are really weird - Gizmo (the oldest), Muggles, EtCetera, and Bowie! My DD has a cute Scottish Terrier whose name is Sholto (Scottish word for friend) and my baby Rascal who is a Border Collie He is my guard dog and totally spoiled. When he hears the front door open, whoever is coming in had better ID him/herself quickly, Rascal goes nuts. He is beautiful and my baby!

Here is being my critic! He always seems to know when I am taking a pic so he needs to "check out" my work also!

Here is my latest WIP!! Thea Gouverneur's King Tut (can't spell the real name), done on 28 ct linen. He has some very strong colors and great shading by the different colorations!

This is my countdown ticker for my Stitching Cruise on Jan 2009! 10 wonderful days of cruising the Eastern Caribbean in the coldest time of the year in WV! image

My Stitching

These are the projects I am currently working on: Celtic Spring (L&L), Dragon Carousel (Patricia Allison), The Priestess, and The Bad Faerie (both Mystic Stitch), Tut (Thea Gouverneur). I have taken one out that was in this section, because of a "spillage issue" and don't know if it can be salvaged or not!

My WIPs

Hopefully I will keep this updated as much as possibleimage If not, please forgive me! I will try my best!

WIP on Tut by TG. The colors are vibrant and the eyes really grab you! Sort of repetitive in the head dress though, because of the striping!

Here is a pic of 6 days of stitching on my very first Mystic Stitch pattern "The Priestess" She is stitching up very nicely!

Never got around to putting up a WIP of Bad Faerie so here she is after 3 pages of stitching! 3 pages down and 17 to go. Whew! You can see the shape of her head now. When you step back from these designs, that's when you can see the actual image!

  1. Something is definitely wrong!

    05/21/08 17:39:02 | 0 Comments

    There is something definitely wrong around here latelyimage It's May 21 and I'm sitting here in flannel lounge pants with flannel shirt! It hasn't been above 60 for several days and it gets to about 40 at night! This is May folks! Not March or October! Where is my sun? and warmth? Oh, wait! Supposed to get up to 70 on Thursday, and then a little warmer by the weekend
  2. Well, its May at last!

    05/12/08 00:57:26 | 0 Comments

    Yes, it's May finally, but so far the weather hasn't realized it much. Yes, we have had a few warm days, but not so many that it feels like spring. Mothers Day was spent watching a bunch of wind and tornado watches! Then came the rain! I spent most of the day just sitting with my feet propped up stitching on The Priestess. I have gotten my last batch of patterns in mail on Saturday. Now I'm just waiting on a batch of fabric that a lady from another board is sending me. She has...
  3. Keep forgetting to blog

    Sorry, folks but I keep forgetting to add to my blog sometimes. Not much of a blogger I guess. It's finally beginning to feel like Spring around here now. Sun is shining, flowers are blooming, grass needs mowing, and I can sit outside and stitch! That's what I did yesterday! Sat outside for about 3 hours and just soaked in some sun and rays and stitched! I loved every bit of it. Took my portable DVD player outside and just enjoyed the day! May just have to do it again today since...
  4. Made it through today

    04/01/08 19:08:01 | 0 Comments

    Well, I made it through another April 1st. Not so hard this year, but still had a few rough times throughout the day. It still doesn't seem like 6 years have passed since Dad died. I miss him just as much as ever. I always heard time helps heal, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I didn't do much today, not even much stitching. Just didn't feel like doing anything except crawling in a hole and waiting for the day to get over with. Now I just have to get through the...
