Busy days!!

Lots happening around here, but not much stitching. We have a baby due tomorrow in the am, c-section and then the 5 yr old to take care of until mommy is up and around. Dad has PT and Speech Therapy and OT as well. Trying to keep him mobile. He doesn't understand much anymore when you ask him a question or doesn't hear not sure which. Alzheimers is a real downer. Got back into Civil Air Patrol and was appointed the Admin Officer. So, more time spent keeping records and such. I must say that I missed it a lot. Just finished an ornament for my Aunt, will get pics later this week. Just no time. Glad I am not Dons main caregiver. I wouldn't survive. I just try to help as much as I can. Some days more than others.

Now for the serious side.

Prayers for anyone who is in the path or was in the path of Issac. May you be safe and dry.

Finally a finish to show!!!

Finished this a while back. It is a design my Saolya, she did it as a SAL. I had fun doing this one as I was born in the year of the Dragon and am now 60.  I am in the process of getting it ready to be framed.

I will have more as soon as I get my camera going and get the images compressed for publishing.

Christmas in July!!!!!

I finally got my new computer and it was worth waiting for. Now to get the pics of things stitched and exchanges posted.

Still borrowing a computer!!!

I am still off line. I have to borrow a computer every so often to check in. My computer is almost finished being built. The tech had a family emergency and I know it may be a while longer. A family member is in the final stages of cancer and the family is gathering around. Sorry, for no posts, please bear with me.

Miss you.

Missing in Action!!

That's me, I have been sick ever since I got my computer back. Really sick. Got a bug and then a migraine and then my Fibro stood up and started kicking. It has been a week since I have even thought about going online.

I am getting a NEW computer in about 2 weeks. Had enough saved and ordered it yesterday.

I can't upload any photos from my camera to the computer so until the new one gets here no pics. I will try and have something to blog about besides illness and computer problems soon.

Thank you all for continuing to follow me even if I haven't posted;.

Spring Scissor Exchange Received!!!

This is the Exchange I received from my partner. She is Abi Gurden from The Stitch Specialists group on Yahoo. She designed the piece and named it Kate's Butterflies. I am blessed to say the least. It also included a purple pair of stork scissors. I took the pics from her as my camera is still not available. I am slowly getting settled and hope to have some more news later.
