The Fall of Man......

Good morning from Nova Scotia!!!

I fell in love with this older "Plum Street Sampler" design, the first time I found it while browsing the web. I had to have it to add to my ever growing obsession of Paulette's designs....I got it, and started it, and am almost finished with it....my goal is to take it to get framed later this week

Not sure what is going on with the colour....the actual colour is somewhere in between both photos. It is dark out once again today, so it's not great for taking photos!

Last week was a busy week here in this household.....my oldest turned 21........I worked extra hours at my part-time job (I am a card merchandiser for American Greetings).....and the general getting back into a routine thing going on......this week probably won't be much different.

Any of you fellow stitchers collectors? I am a collector....I love collecting things, and adding to my collections...it's the thrill of the hunt, you know what I mean? Recently, (okay, a few months ago)....I started collecting flower frogs and scissors.....this is one of my flower frogs, with my "black" scissors displayed. Sadly, my family does not see my obsession with scissors or flower frogs....LOL.....

At any rate, must get my day started around here......possibly a venture out into our large back yard with the puppy, to burn off some of his energy....and then stitch for a while, while waiting for the cable guy to arrive to change something....

Have a great day everyone!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Yup, it's me....the hopeless Blogger!!! Figured I would start the New Year right! I HAVE been reading my favourite Blogs, but most time I cannot comment, I have no idea why...something to do with the settings on my computer I think, but I can't figure it out.......

I won't bore everyone with all that's been happening around here......it's been typical.

We did loose our beloved border collie on Novenber 17th. We were all devasted! Nallie-dog was my friend...I loved her dearly...she was a unique and wonderful dog.(she was 13 1/2 and healthy until just about the end....) It was especially hard on my youngest....she grew up with Nallie and had no idea what life was like without her.....there was a lot of crying from everyone in the family that week...(and since....). We did however, add to our family with Hemi....who is now called "Herman" more than Hemi....he is a 5 month old pekingese/chihuahua...and he's adorable. It helps to have him...I could not imagine a house where a dog did not greet me at the door! We didn't get him to REPLACE Nallie, but to add to our household.

We had a great Holiday......the weather was mild and wonderful around here....no problems with travelling around the area at all.....

I made a swedish weave blanket, which was a Christmas gift to a dear friend....and I managed to finish up TWO cross-stitch pieces and get them professionally framed.

Please excuse the bad photos! While the weather is mild, and great for travelling, it is dark and rainy and not good for photos!

And that fellow Bloggers is my last few months in a nutshell!!!

Happy New Year to everyone!!
