BACK FROM THE DEAD

OMG...I really never knew what people were talking about when they said "Sometimes life just gets in the way...."...I would turn up my nose...this IS life....well.....life had gotten in my way the past few weeks.....OMG...we went away for Memorial Day....let me tell you three little kids at an amusement park....I can sleep for a week....coming off the heels of planning the Communion, Frank's Birthday.....this is the last week of school for my kids...teacher gifts, class parties...OMG NOOOOOOOOOOO Todd and I were married 7 years before we had our first child...when we would leave a family gathering, I would just tell him..."no radio on the ride home...can't we just sit in silence?"....I never EVER remember those days...we are now the cause of silent car rides home..... I'm working diligently on my POOH......C'mon 6/22/09....we find out the sex...I initially thought boy...but it's a girl...I can feel it...gotta get out the pink patterns...we'll see I'm getting tired of referring to the kid as "Baby Mo".... BTW...Coni, I am embroidering that (Baby Mo) on the onesie to help hide the off-centeredness........ Here's my Vervaco... I am in love with these patterns...the "sepia" tones, the simplicity....I cannot wait to finish this.....

Now we're cookin' with GREASE

OK I finally have gotten to start my Laura J Perin design. It's a freebie on the site and I thought I'd start with it....all of the supplies are courtesy of miss Spinster Stitcher herself ( I have properly thanked as of yet...but I am in the process).....I cannot believe that I am stitching with supplies from her...they are absolutely gorgeous colors....this is how far I have gotten...I had to rip out three different times .....but once I got the reading of the pattern down....there was no stopping me!! What do you think so far? This is my two year old that has been "helping" me stitch....I put in in from the bottom, she pulls the needle thru.....look at those sausage link fingers!!!!!! She's my beauty girl, alright...but nap time could not have come sooner.....

I don't think I have ever posted a pic of the family....I have a website of the kids...and I leave all of my stitchy stuff for here...
Here's a shot of all of us....
