Waa Waa Waa

We have the emergence of a BABY!!....Believe it or not, this is a pretty quick work-up....It's really taking shape and I love it! Of course I have to run out of the yellow to complete the bunting! It never, ever, Ever, EVER fails........I must have 400 skeins of DMC....pulling them out of the Baby's mouth, finding them in the lint trap of the dryer, stumbling across them in the bottom of my pockets in my old winter coat.....why can't I just have a bit more of 3078???why??? KISMET You must be asking yourself how to get my address to just mail me a skein and be done with it already... anyone (with three kids) knows what a trip to LNS entails....planning, begging and just plain sneaking out...It's hard to get there let alone with 3, 2, or 1 kid in tow.... I picked up some framing once with the baby in "lockdown" in the stroller, pacifier firmly in place, toys strewn throughout the stroller, strategically placed directly in the center of the store so swinging hands couldn't touch a thing.... OMG...upon arrival I got the "side-eye"... I told them that I was sorry it took so long to pick up my stuff and pointed to her...I got the "we appreciate that" acknowledgement of why a one year old should not be in a needlework store.....one word... OVERSTIMULATION

something lurking

I can see the big shaggy dog lurking....he's make his appearance soon enough.....a bit wrinkly...but you should be able to make it out

onward and upward.....

It wouldn't be a new week without a new start...I have been carrying this around with me and I just look at it in my spare time...It's simplicity is gorgeous and I love it.....It's Miribilia's "Mother's Bliss".....This is a mock run because I think I need to make two...one for my BFF, my "one-and-only loyal reader"!!!!

keep on keepin' on

We have a bit of background.......making progress

NEXT......

I REALLY want to get started on these....i keep them in my bag with me...gotta start pulling DMC.....

Arf...Arf

My brother-in-law fixed our computer, and ingeniuosly picked a different wallpaper for each of us....keeping with the "dog-loving avid stitcher" motif, he selected from Suzy's Zoo the "Dogs of Duckport" for me!! (I have it as my header) We did a little "after Christmas shopping"...and my sister-in-law stumbled across this ON CLEARANCE..It's a smaller version of the original....but for $2 who could resist!?!?

her royal highness......

got this one at the stitching jubilee...( courtesy of Miss Danielle Marie) the "castle" has ended up having 7 different grays in it....had to walk away...had to walk away.....

....gettin' crabbier

....I had this completed on the 31st of December...YIPPEEE... I just couldn't figure out (or had NO TIME TO FIGURE OUT) my new camera!....I'm gonna work backwards...on to September
