• Thoughts on Today

  Last night the sewing machine went down on me. I have to get some oil in order to get it going again. So in the meantime this morning after taking our walk Mom and I did some looking for the other machine. Grandma had a mobile machine the brand is Brother, but since I took…

• It’s Finished

  This was my first project of the year. I hate to admit a few things got in the way of finishing it along the way. It has taken me nearly five months to get to this point. I hope I get to make another one of these Legendary Planes. There’s something extra special about these…

• Projects Galore

  You have seen little glimpses of my projects this week. Honestly I don’t think I have gotten enough sleep or spent much time dilly dallying from these 3 tasks. I hadn’t had much extra time to work on the kitchen much since Monday. It would have been nice to get it done for Sunday at…

• One of My Projects

  This is just a glimpse into one of my other projects I am currently working on this week. I’m finally on the name and then I am hoping to have this made into a pillow for a gift. Right now I am only averaging a letter a day so hopefully I will still get it…

• Last Night

  When I drink sweet tea at a restaurant after 3 pm I guess I am asking for a miserable night. The caffeine and sweetness are too much. Yet it’s like I have brain fog and I forget. I couldn’t sleep a wink finally I got up did some exercising thinking that would help, it didn’t.…

• Cobra Time

  This week I have found some time to get back to my original project of the year. Yes it got hijacked a couple of times for some baby things, but it was worth it. Now I am working on some other charts for fun and to see what happens. It still has a bit more…

• Basement Finds

  Lately I have been working on some cross-stitch pieces not baby related. These will possibly need to be framed unless I can figure one more option out. Until then, though, framing them may be easier. Upon my graduation from college my parents gave me a mat cutter. I had to learn as I did each…

• Life and the Internet Colliding

  Friday morning I woke up to a laptop that would not load up. I couldn’t talk to my boyfriend which in itself was horrible. Plus he was also having service provider problems himself at the same time. He got his back on yesterday I only got back on within the past hour and it is…

• Creatively Blocked?

  Do you ever feel creatively blocked, musically, artistically in whatever medium you work in? Sometimes it’s ironic how I can feel the piano keys better than I can writing during the same day. Or I can write up a storm, but I just don’t have the want to hold a needle that day. I find…

• Evening Thoughts

  For a second time I got to church before Sunday School started. It’s amazing. However, I did not want to get up this morning. I have gone to bed only to get into my room and sit on my bed doing more cross-stitch until shy of midnight. I have another deadline and want to get…
