Stitching update

This is Bed and Breakfast after a week. As you can see the trees are starting to show. Sorry that it is blurry, I jiggled the camera by accident. It is really coming along.

I haven't started my Christmas picture yet, but hopefully will get to soon. Right now I am concentrating on getting ready for my oldest daughter's birthday which is in a week. She will be 15. I can't believe that she will be that old.

Things are better here, I am still looking for another apartment. Renting a home is not an option, I called about one the other day, and they were asking $1200 dollars a month for a 4 bedroom. I thought I was going to pass out. I am not giving up.

I went scrapbooking Friday night. It was so fun. I haven't touched my scrapbook in almost 4 months. So it was nice to get some pages done. Now to take more pictures for it. LOL. But yes it was nice. My friend who held it is a Creative Memories consultant, and she called me and asked me if I still wanted to come, so I did, and then today I ended up giving in and ordering 26.00 worth of products, which is not bad considering. I needed some things anyway for the scrapbooks.

Classes are going well, getting ready to go and read a chapter that I need to read for psychology. I have to do an outline for the whole chapter. That is no fun really, but I am really liking the class. I have other homework too, that I need to get done, but I don't think I will do it in one night. To much work. LOL.

Well that is all for now, and I will go and hit the hay.

New picture

I have put a picture of what Bed and Breakfast will look like when it is finished. I should have a updated picture of my stitching progress this afternoon, or tonight.

Update on life and stitching

Okay, it has been a while since I have posted, and I feel just awful. This week has been one that I wouldn't want anyone to go through.

I switched telephone providers and so I called my ISP, to tell them that they needed to switch my DSL line to that phone company, well it is going to take a week. In the mean time I am using dial up :(. It isn't any fun at all.

Then the management of where I live wants to try and kick me out, but she can't because the money that she says that I owe was already paid, but she can't find it. I am really ticked. I showed her the receipt, and she said that she believes me, but she said she has to find the rest of the payment. But I am currently making other arrangements to find another place.

Stitching wise, I worked on Country Comforts last week, and this week I am working on a new Mystic Stitch called Bed and Breakfast. It is for my father. He loves Bed and Breakfasts. THe reason is that when my grandparents sold their home, the person that bought it turned it into a bed and breakfast. It is really neat. I do want to get a picture of the house and stitch that. So my mother is going to see if she can go down there and take the picture, but for now I am stitching the one I already have for my father.

I have been so stressed and so busy around here, that I couldn't deal with it, but thanks to some wonderful people I took their advice. They told me to keep stitching and that it is relaxing, so that is what I am doing. I was so fed up with people from the ISP, and from the office here at my apartment complex, that I didn't know what to do. I thought I was going to scream. It was really rough there for awhile. But I am better, and am dealing with it better now.

Today I am going to stitch, before I have to go to work, and then tomorrow we are having Easter at my parents, and then I am coming home and stitching for the rest of the day. I need it big time. It is really helping.

Well I am off, daughter needs to use the phone.

Classes are going well

They are going well so far. I was a little nervous about taking 6 classes in 4 nights, but I seem to be handling it okay. I have two nights that I only have one class, and they are early classes. I am enjoying them.

I have done some stitching on Country Comforts, it is really coming along. It is nice to have two nights out of the week, that I can stitch, especially when I have early classes.

Well everyone here is fine, my oldest daughter is the only one here that has a stomach virus. I have been staying away from her, I don't want to get sick. My boyfriend has been a big help this week, with her being sick, he has come and watched the other two while I have gone to class.

Well that is all there is to report for now. Have a good day everyone.

Weekly stitching update a day early

Hi everyone, lol! Well this week has been kind of laid back for me. I am now getting ready for classes, which start on Monday night. I am excited about starting a new semester.

We had state testing this week, those poor kids, were really fidgety, and tired. It is hard for little 5 and 6 year old kids to take a test, everyday. But they did well. I am so proud of them. Justin did well too. He isn't in my class, but I asked his teacher, and she told me he did very well.

Stitching wise, I haven't really done much stitching, but I am going to work on Country Comforts tonight. I want to make a dent in it. I did very well with my goals for this project. I wanted to complete the first three pages, and I have done that. It is looking nice. I can't wait to get it finished.

Rose Garden is coming along, as the new picture is in my previous post. I was hoping I would get it finished soon, but my goal for that has to be moved up. I hope to get it finished soon. I am loving how it is coming along though.

I still have this nasty cold, I felt just awful this week, and today I worked at second job, for three hours. They are cutting hours back today. I was supposed to work until 7 and got off at 2:30. It was nice. I came home and took a nap.

Now I am going to get some stitching done

Rose Garden update

Here is an update picture of Rose Garden. I am about 50 percent done with it. I have to say it is coming along rather nicely.

I am rather pleased with the way it is turning out.

On the home front, things are better with Ariel and her being nervous about going to school. I told her that she has nothing to worry about. She told me that she feels so much better.

I am miserable, I have a head cold, and it isn't any fun at all. I am taking medicine and taking my vitamins, so I feel a little better than what I did. But still a little miserable.

But I am fighting it hard as I can.

Back to the stitching front. I am thinking of adding my new Mystic pattern, but am not sure if I will or not. I haven't really decided, I think I am going to stick with the orginal plan and just stitch it on Sundays. Still debating that. We shall see, I can't wait to start it.

Weekly update stitching and other

I have done some stitching, but not a whole lot. I have just been really tired, and had a really bad migrane yesterday, so I didn't do a lot around here at all.

I registered for the new semester, so next week I will have a free week that I can catch up on stitching. I still have Rose Garden out, but not any updated pictures of it, I am hoping to have one soon. I know I have promised pics, but I think I can get one taken this week, since I am not doing a whole lot. I am going to keep working on Rose Garden, since this week is for that. I haven't worked on Country Comforts at all. I have really hardly picked up a needle at all. That is just horrible, but what can you do life is just there and it happens.

I did get my new pattern from Mystic Stitch, it is called Season's Greetings, I am thinking that I will start it this coming weekend, and make one day that I can work on that. One of those ELF day things, where you work on holiday projects. I do have a tree skirt that I need to work on, but I need to get a stitching stand that can hold the q snaps, don't know where to find one of those at all. I will have to look around the internet for one. If anyone knows of where I can get a really nice one, that isn't expensive let me know.

Next week will be really crazy. I am taking six classes, and these are all in four days. I think I am insane. LOL. But I want to get as many credits done and over with that I can. I am taking pschylogoy. The spelling is really wrong, sorry. Can't spell this morning. That should be a interesting class. Where I will find the time to stitch once I start classes next week will be beyond me, but I am determined to find the time. I will need it to relax.

I don't have to work today, so I think I am going to watch some movies and stitch, and just vegetate and maybe do laundry. I really need to do that. But right now, I am just going sit and stitch away. I am almost done with page 5 of Rose Garden, and want to get that stitched, and start on page 6. Page 6 will not take long at all.

The kids are hanging in there, they are a little bored. Did have some drama with Ariel though. She watched an interview that her grandfather did on TV about gangs and them being in school. He is the superintendent of schools. Well she totally flipped out, so I called her school and asked the vice principal and the deputy to talk with her. She is upset about kids making fun of her, and saying that she is in one of the gangs because she wears blue alot, and she isn't. She is feeling a little better about it, but she still is a little nervous, which I understand.

Okay, I am done rambling, now I am going to sit and stitch for the rest of the day, only after I get some lunch for myself.
