A WEEKEND AWAY!





This past weekend, my best friend, myself and my oldest daughter drove to Maine! We stayed for three nights, shopped, visited my friend's cousin that lives in Bangor, ate out.....it was fantastic!




We enjoyed waffles at the Hotel each morning, chatted with the stuffed bear in the lobby of the Hotel, my daughter was fascinated with the phone booth also in the Hotel lobby....and she came up with fantastic deals! (So did we, but aren't a size 0, or 1).....


Anyway, no stitching done this past weekend!!

Take care everyone! I hope everyone had a Blessed Easter!

STILL ALIVE AND BREATHING (most of the time)

Geesh.....one would think that I left the planet on occasion. I cannot for the life of me keep posting more frequently. I sit here and browse the wonderful Blogs that I visit regularly...sometimes I comment...sometimes I don't....but why, oh why can I not post to my own Blog???


I have been a bit stressed lately...my DH has his own Business and it has been rather slow lately...we are not destitute by any means, we will be fine, but it is stressful. He has been sending out resumes lately...looking to add on to what he currently does, or getting something fulltime and just doing what he does now part-time or in the evening...so a good thought or prayer for this situation would be greatly appreciated. I know things will turn around at some point.


I have been stitching lately....I have been working on a few WIP's...none that I really took photos of though.....but I will one of these days.

I do have a finish though!! This is my Lizzie Kate FlipiTBits....I made it into a Bellpull...what do you all think? I do like it...it's very colourful and much better looking in person than the photo.

If anyone is interested in the 12 charts....they are available for $5.00 including postage to the US and Canada. (for the 12).
