Weekend Progress

I hope everyone had a great weekend. We had a semi lazy weekend. :) We did venture out to watch some fireworks last night but other than that all of us were pretty lazy. I think the kids were mostly lazy because they wore themselves out at my brother's house. I didn't object to the family not wanting to do much because that meant I could stitch my heart out.

I worked some more on Moonlight's Visit. This is the kind of progress I like to see.:)

Well I am off to make some more progress on Moonlight's Visit!

Have a great night!

Look...Stitching!

It was an extremely quiet day around here today. Allie and Mac went to my brother's house for a couple of days so that just leaves Krissy and Megan at home with me during the day. Quiet days always means I can get some stitching done! Which is exactly what I did today. :)

Megan has been somewhat of a handful lately. The update on her crawling is she is up on all fours and rocking but hasn't taken that first attempt at actually moving on her hands and knees. Now as for scooting, she has mastered that skill! Which brings me to a questions.....Why do little kids find the pet food and water irresistible?! I can't count how many times I have caught Megan reaching for a piece of dog food or trying to dump the water bowl over herself.

I have been able to brag what a great baby Megan was and how she never cried. That has been changing. She has discovered how to voice her likes and dislikes. Mainly just her dislikes and believe me when she doesn't like something, she really doesn't like something! The past day and half her dislike has been her formula. I have no clue why either. I can get her to eat her cereal mixed with formula but to give her straight formula, well that just isn't happening. Instead she wants ice water. My first thought was she wanted it because she is teething but she is actually drinking all of the water gone and not playing with it. If she keeps it up we might have to think about starting her on milk.

Have a great night!

Funny Hair

I got a little stitching time in today. :) I am not overly fond of how her hair has turned out. What do you think? I do giggle a bit each time I look at it because right now (I think) it looks like the girl is giving somebody "the bird".

I have been thinking about starting a new pattern. It is a typical me design.....snowmen! Problem is with my stitching time being less than it was I don't know if it would be a good idea to have too many things being stitched at once. Right now I have my SAL with Renee, QS Fairy Tales, Moonlight's Visit, and ornaments for Christmas. I guess I will have to think some more on it but don't be surprised if there is a new start soon!

Have a great night!

Every Little Stitch Counts

I guess it is safe to say now that Megan is on the move I won't be stitching as much as I have in the past. I have been working on QS Fairy Tales from HAED for the past week when I have been able to sneak off for 15 minutes or so. I am posting the before and after picture mainly for myself to remind me that every little stitch counts. :)

Here she was when I picked her up last Wednesday....

Here is where I am now.....

Happy Stitching!

Stitching Withdrawals

If you just read my blog for cross stitching you might as well stop right now and go to another one because I have nothing to show off today. It is extremely frustrating as it is Summer Break.....I should have more stitching time! I am not saying that I have not stitched at all but it has only been about 15 minutes here and there. I know something is better than nothing but stitching is such a stress reliever for me that I swear I am actually having withdrawals from not getting to stitch as much!

Zero Stitching

It hasn't been my week for stitching. I haven't stitched any since my last post! I didn't get to stitch yesterday as it was our 16th wedding anniversary. We didn't get to do exactly what we had planned but we still had a pretty good day. We did a little shopping and went out to eat with NO kids in tow! It was so wonderful to sit and eat a meal with my husband at the same time. We do sit down at the same time and eat with the kids but one of us is usually feeding Megan so inevitably one of is always the last done.

While we were out we stopped at Hobby Lobby and wouldn't you know I forgot to pick up a 4 inch hoop so I can finish Goodluck Baby! I did pick up some eavenweave fabric so today I kitted up some future projects. A couple of the pieces I want to do require me to do some fabrics so maybe next time I go to Hobby Lobby I might actually remember to get my hoop while also remembering to get some fabric dye.

I didn't get to stitch today because Megan is learning to crawl. She isn't up on all fours yet but I bet before next weekend she will be! Right now she gets herslef up on her hands and in a frog like postion and then she literally flops forward looking like a frog leaping. She looks so funny leaping around but she moves pretty quick! I am so NOT ready for her to be mobile!!

Happy Stitching!

Quiet Tuesday

It was a pretty quiet day around here today so I was able to sneak in some stitching time on Moonlight's Visit.

Have a great night!:)
