Midnight Progress



Although it's small, I'm on the homestretch with this one.

I can look at the pictures of progress and it helps me see I'm getting somewhere.




from this




All in a day's work. Hopefully will have finished tomorrow and made into a pillowkeep.

It's been on of those days of deep introspection.
Sometimes I'm slow. I'm not as of massive production as others but I have to remind myself this is a hobby not a marathon.
There will be some changes to this blog soon so that more interested stitchers may find it helpful.
I realized I have too much personal information on this blog and it's not my best friend.
So keeping it simply and stitchy is my goal.

Hang in there with me. I enjoy comments immensely. Otherwise I feel like I'm shouting in the moutains.
Any suggestions to help make it more pleasurable reading is greatly accepted.

Nite nite

Time for Tuesday


Good morning!
Hope your Tuesday is a good one.
So happy that I'm off till Thursday. I needed the extra sleep at night. I've got 7-8 hours of sleep 3 nights in a row now.....WOOHOO!
Thank you so much for all the Memorial Day Sales this weekends. Those orders will be going out soon.
I hope to add some more items this week for you shopping pleasure.

The sun is out this morning and I'm hoping today it stays out. Over the weekend, we surely got alot of rain and now the hot, humid summer air is here and so appropriate as Memorial Day weekend is usually the start of summer. We live near a touristy town called Helen, Ga. and it was beyond busy. Lots of campers heading through to Unicoi State Park and this is the first weekend tubing down the Chattahoochee River starts.
That's some ice cold water, folks but overall alot of fun. I like to wait until at least July when the water warms to 60 degrees or so. LOL

June 1st, I can't believe it, is today. Almost half a year gone by.

Our Memorial Day


Made some progress on Mothers Prayers sampler



Cooked pork chops with lime pepper, green beans, and a special bread and baked potatoes for supper.
While Miss Abbie flounced around in her sundress, even though it poured rain most of the day.
She was ultimately happy playing with her new Rainbow toy on the cleaned back porch and strutted around and barked like she was one of the big dogs.
I think she is getting spoiled, I'm not sure, but I think.


Poor Ren is not doing well at all. We are hanging in there day by day with him. I just handfed him a piece of bread for a snack when he woke and he is all bones now. It's heartbreaking. I have to change and make sure he has a little t-shirt on because his little backbone is sticking out and looks like his skin is trying to break down.
But he still loves to eat if you handfeed him because he is totally blind, but definitely has dementia.
We pray he goes peacefully in his sleep when the time comes.

Didn't hear from the kids or the parents. I hope they are happy because when they are happy, I'm happy.

I'm ready to meet June 1st in the morning when I wake. I've got a couple of birthdays to plan for.
And I love planning birthday presents.
