What Tarot Card are You?

You are The Wheel of Fortune

Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success

The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.

Finished A Preemie Set

A friend of mine had a baby girl on Oct 13th. She wasn't due until Nov 21st. The baby is just too cute and she is only 5 lbs 3oz. The preemie clothes were too big so they ended up having to shop at build a bear LOL I decided to make her a couple of hats and a sweater. Can't wait to get it to them.

This is my first try at a sweater (no matter what the size) It was easier and quicker than I thought. Let me know what you think.

Two More Finishes

Finally got some more stitching done. I finished two more of the flip it ornies by Lizzie Kate. Tonight I finished Family and two weeks ago I finished Joy.

Some News

It has been 2 months since my last post. Haven't been crafting too much lately since I started my new job. However, I have two annoucements.

First:

A few months ago I stitched a design by Vivian Bales and designed/made buttons for it. The design is called Seaside Memories and is now on sale at Country Cottage http://www.countrycottageneedleart.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=4340
The chart is free with the purchase of the button pack.
Here is a pic:



I have been working on an afghan for my daughter since last year. I put it down for the summer but just finished it tonight. This is a diagonal design and you can find the pattern here: http://mysite.verizon.net/vze8mnnp/diag.html

Here are the pics of Gina's afghan.....the first is the full pic, it is about the size of a twin bed. The second is a close up of the stitches. It was done with Red Heart Blueberry acrylic yarn.


I really need to get back to stitching. I have a model to stitch for Oakhaven designs but haven't had much time or energy to stitch.

Peace ornie by Lizzie Kate

Just started and finished this little guy tonight. This is from the Just Cross Stitch Ornament magazine (either 2003 or 2004).

Was asked what I'm going to make out of it. I'm going to make it into an ornament but still trying to decide on how to finish it and what shape.

Friends by Lizzie Kate

Here is Friends from the 12 part series of Lizzie Kate's Christmas Blessings Flip its. Finished him July 15th. Now on to Joy. Still waiting to receive Song and Giving. Then have to order the 3 that were just released.

Eggs all wrapped up

I finally finished putting the last touches on the present for Eric's teacher. Here are the pics.

Eggs

This is Eggs by Sanman Originals (it is a freebie www.sanmanoriginals.com)and it was stitched for my son's teacher. She was so good to him this year so I wanted to give her something special. I know that she likes my crafts so I figured why not stitch! As I was stitching this I was looking at the birds. Now, is it a chicken or a rooster? A chicken would have the eggs and the chick but then the rooster would have the plume and the waddle. So I have decided to call it a Ricken LOL. I think I am going to mount this on a basket if I can find the right size. I thought about framing it but, to tell the truth, I just don't feel like trying to find the frame and maybe even a mat for it. It is already late because the last day of school was June 15th but I did make it a point to get her address.

My Theme Song

Your Theme Song is Fight for Your Right by the Beastie Boys

"Your mom busted in and said, "What's that noise?" Aw, mom you're just jealous - it's the Beastie Boys!" You love to party hard and cause a little trouble... And you're too busy getting wasted to move out of your parents' house!

What's Your Theme Song?

Love by Lizzie Kate

NO - He didn't come with a saddle!

Wanted to introduce you all to the lastest member of our family. His name is Atreyu. The name comes from the movie The Neverending Story. He is a Fila Brasiliero or Brazilian Mastiff. Right now he is just a pup at about 6 months. He was found wondering the streets not too far from my house and we couldn't find the owner. The first night I found that I wouldn't have returned him anyway. There are major indications of abuse. He has a new scar on the back of his neck and it looks like it is from being tied up with a collar that was too small. He also flinches at just about any movement. He is very well mannered, especially for such a young guy. He is house trained and doesn't drag us down the street when we walk him. My 8yo can actually walk him with no problem. I'm breaking him of eating trash so we empty the bag every night and he also likes the cats food so we have to watch that and pick it up. He has gotten very playful the past two days and even picked out a new toy at Petsmart today all on his own. We weighed him today and he is a hefty 81.5 lbs! He is only about 1/2 of his full grown size so I have a feeling that I'm going to need a bigger house very soon LOL Hmmmm, he must be sleeping...I can hear him snoring LOL Oh and as you can see from the pic....he has a drooling problem after drinking. We have been mopping the floor up alot and he has his own towel. I just tell him "Come here and clean your face" and he comes over and lets me dry him.

French Country Rabbit

This kit was sent to me by my Aunt. I was going to stitch and give it to her but there was a turn of events and she no longer deserves it so I'm giving it to my grandmother for Easter. It is by Dimensions and is one of those crappy no count stitch kits. Don't like those kits and hate having to "fix" it by putting 1/4 stitches in 14ct aida. He is a cutie and I did more of the outlining in pencil around him since their sketch was really light.

My Wendy's trip

Last week I didn't feel like cooking so I was going to take the kids for fast food. The boys got called to a bday party and were going to eat there so I took my daughter to Wendy's. We went thru the drive thru and bought two burger meals. I got as far as the parking lot across the street and noticed that the burgers didn't have bacon as we ordered so I turned around and took them back. They apologized and gave us 2 new burgers. Before leaving the window I checked the first burger and it was good so we went home. I get home and give my daughter her burger. I then open my burger to find that there was NO BURGER! It has lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, bacon and even cheese! No Burger! Now how the hell do you make a burger and forget the burger???? So now I'm pissed. Back to the car and back to Wendy's. This time my fat butt is going in the store to bitch. I walk in and slam my bag on the counter and tell them this is the 3rd time I'm coming to get the food I ordered. The manager must have seen me from the door and ran over to take care of my complaint. He apologized profusely and ordered me to more burgers. This time he stood there and watched the person make my burgers and asked me if I had fries with my order. I told him that they were at home so he gave me two orders of fresh fries. I get home and my daughter says "Mom, the fries don't have salt, how did they forget the salt?" I turned to her and said "Salt????How the hell do they forget the burger on my burger!!!!!" I think salt was the least of the problem! I swear this stupid crap only happens to me. I can however laugh at myself and I still wonder if that is healthy or not LOL

Another small finish

Here is Hope from the Christmas Flip Its by Lizzie Kate.

Bingo Chip Bag

I crocheted this back in January for a friend that saw the one I was using and like it. I made another 3 for other friends but didn't get pics.

Christmas Flip it - Charity

This little guy was a really quick stitch. He is one of the first 5 of the new Lizzie Kate series. I stitch him on light oatmeal aida 18ct and the total size is 1 3/4" X 1 3/4".

My Other Car

I finished My Other Car is a Broom by Lizzie Kate. Instead of the candy corn buttons I made a witches hat from polymer clay.
