Some Progress anyway

I think I stitched more on this the past three days then what I have the whole two weeks put together. This is after about 32 hours of stitching. You can see more of the cat in there now.
Things are now back to normal. My sister is done camping and is back home so we aren't going to the camp ground so much.
Somehow I can't find my camera again so don't have any pictures. My battery went dead and I can't find the camera to replace them!
Addie was so much fun at the campground. A lot of work for her parents as she kept trying to go into the street. She got to the point where she would head for the road turn around and look back to see who was following her. Usually her parents. She's 14 months old now and is so much fun. Johnny is 2 1/2 now and was out to the campground one night. He's a little boy now. In fact Melissa is expecting a baby in Feb. and Johnny tells people "Mommy has a baby in her tummy!" Not that he knows what is going on but it's so cute. So great niece or nephew *11 is on the way. One is due in Aug. another in September. We know the one in Sept. is a boy.
Well, I'm going to my mom's and stay with her while dad is golfing. She isn't doing too well these days. So until next time Happy Stitching!

Love One Another

I haven't made a whole lot of progress on sleeping kitten so will wait a few days to post progress on that. This is a piece I did a few years ago. (Shortly before I started blogging) It was done for a quilt and I don't remember who or her circumstances. It was a special quilt put together by someone at 123 stitch is all I remember.
Speaking of Special quilts. That Patriotic Ribbon I did and posted 2 or 3 months ago has now been put on the quilt and Sue has it now. I couldn't say who it was for as she reads my blog and to see the quilt go to Sue P in my blog roll. She has it posted there. I chose it because she was born on 4th of July and new she liked Patriotic pieces.
In a few minutes I leave to have an EMG on my hand and then we are going out to the camp ground. So until next time Happy Stitching!

A Love Quilts Start

I've been stitching on this a little at a time. This is about 4 days work 10 hours. Today I'm not tuching it and probably won't touch it much the next few days as Mon-Wed. I'll be going out to the campground. Today I am going to a baby shower for my niece. This piece is called Kitten sleeping on Pillow by Jeanette Crews Designs in book Kittens. I barely have it started.
Friday I went to the craft fair down town with a friend. It was nice. I go about once every 2 or 3 years. Also we went through 3 very old homes and an old firehouse. One house was just one preserved through the years. The other two were of famous families in our city who contributed a lot to the city in late 1800'a early 1900's. The Hackley Home was more formal as they had two older children and the Hume Home was very cozy and informal. They had 7 children. I really liked that house. It was interesting to see all the furnishings and how the two families lived. It was a perfect day to go not too hot not too cold. We were down there about 6 hours. And we didn't even go into Hackley Park where the art work was.
At the craft fair I bought a baby afghan to send to my nephew Jake, and his wife, Surrayah in AL. Their baby is due in Aug. I found this cute tool box made with cloth and had tools inside all baby safe and played a song. I had to get that for Michelle's baby it was too cute. I had two baby outfits for him and will give it to her today. The toolbox she'll get today but I'll tell her it's for when he's born in Sept. or Oct He's due late Sept. day before Michelle's birthday.
Well....I better go get ready for church. Until next time Happy Stitching!

Another finish

Weatherwise is finished. I put the last stitches in earlier today. I am happy with it. Now to continue the cat piece I started.
Monday I went to zoo with my niece, Melissa and her husband and 2 year old son Johnny. We met up with my niece Heather and her 1 year old Addie. It really was a nice day and had a good time. Johnny loved seeing all the animals and Addie was a little young yet, everything was a dog to her. I'll post pictures later as I left my camera in Melissa's car so she'll give it to me Sunday. Wouldn't you know it I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted my batteries went dead! Oh well....
Sunday we are having a baby shower for my niece Michelle. She arrives in from CO later today and will be around for a week. She's expecting a baby boy end of Sept. We'll see quite abit of her Sunday through Wed.
Well I have a busy day ahead so better get going. Until next time Happy Stitching!

Another Week's Progress

I did more stitching this week and got quite a bit of progress. I do hope to finish this piece Monday or Tuesday. We'll see since the weekend will be fairly busy so I won't stitch on it much. I've been stitching on it about 4 hours a day.
I couldn't find my camera this morning but the scan got it all. (I just hope I find my camera. I really need it. I might be going to the zoo Monday or Tuesday with my nieces and their babies. Got to get pictures of Johnny and Addie! Also when we go to the campground in early July my niece will be here from OR. It's going to bug me until I find my camera. Hope I didn't throw it away by accident! I'd also like to get a picture of my cat in his favorite spot on the arm of my stitching chair. Lately he has been wanting to be close to me and follows me no matter where I go. (Unless he is sleeping under or on the bed). He will be 17 in October so guess it's a sign he's getting older and needs to be reassured he's okay and still loved.
We've had a very warm few days for us. It was 90's one day! Now mid 80's still very warm for us. It's suppose to drop to 70's Mon. & Tues. of next week. Perfect weather for going to the zoo!
Well, until next time. Happy Stitching!

Another week's progress

I still am not stitching much more then 2 hours a day because of my hand but it is making progress. I really like this piece. I also started a cat piece for Love Quilts which I will show progress on that in a few days when I'm further on it.

This week has been a very busy week with something going every day. Tomorrow I have someplace to go but I need to stay home and get some housework done this piace looks like a pig's pen right now!

We had a wicked storm last night and another one is due to come in later this afternoon, hopefully after dad and the men are done with their golf game, it is getting a little cloudy out there. I love storms at night!

The news on my hand is fair right now. I'm going to be more aggressive about taking IB Pufrin 800 mg's 3 times a day and put it on ice from time to time. If that doesn't get the swelling down then I will get an EMG on it sometime after July 13. I requested to wait until then as July 5-9 are busy, my niece will be here from CO.

Well, until next time Happy Stitching!

Some progress on Sailor's Weather

Because of major problems with my hand this week I have stitched very little. Nor have I posted or replied much. I am hoping this hand brace will do much better than the first one. (The first one was starting to cut off my circulation so my mom gave me one she had.) Then my hand swelled up so I had to stop stitching and stop typing on the computer. Typing is mininimal now and stitching well.....very little and none the last 3 days. Hopefully later today I will get some stitching in.
Until next time....Happy Stitching!
