A finish!

I finally finished "Deer Friends" by Becky Boos.  Well I have to sew the nose buttons on the reindeer but want to iron it first!  Here it is, still in Qsnaps!

We went to the Home & Garden show recently and this is one of the gardens they had set up.  Makes you think Spring will be here soon!

Photo of a finish

I finally took a not-so-great photo (had to use my cell phone) of my stitched HO HO HO by Lizzie Kate.  I still need to sew three small buttons on the wreath, but here it is:

How's that for an original title?  HA!

So I don't know if I ever mentioned it but I also like to scrapbook, and make cards.  I recently purchased a stamp that I just love to make some Valentine cards which I need to do soon!  Here is a picture of how it will look when done.  I just thought it was SO cute! 

Anyway, not much else new....just been catching up on blog reading and last night we watched a cute movie "No Strings Attached".  It had Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher in it. 

Wow that was a fast weekend!

I cannot believe this past weekend went SO fast!  Didn't do much on Saturday because I somehow hurt my knee on Friday and it was really sore Saturday, so I just sat and iced it a lot. DH made a yummy meal with leftover sausage and rice for us.

Sunday was a quick trip out to the cemetery, which is almost unheard of in February normally!  But since we have NO SNOW and it was in the 40's it was nice.  Then I stitched during the Super Bowl and watched the commericals.  I got a good bit done on "Deer Friends"...hoping to finish it by next Sunday!

Work started out good this morning...the account that never balances for me balanced on the first try! I was SO excited!  Have a great week!

Pretty quiet....

Things have been really quiet around here lately.  We have not really had any snow, which is NICE!  Normally at this time of the year we have a continuous 5" or more on the ground.  We had a little last week then it rained and melted away.  The last few days it has been 50 degrees out!  Love it!  I am sure we will pay for it eventually though...will probably have snow until June or something! Today is Groundhog Day.  They said that Phil in PA saw his shadow so six more weeks of winter. 

I have been looking at the Mirabilia Facebook page everyday lately.  Oh those ladies do beautiful work!  I have stitched one Mirabilia, "Waiting for Ships" and I still need to get it framed.  I should save up and send it to Jill Rensel I suppose.  I wish I was a faster stitcher so I could do another Mirabilia, but lately I have been sticking to smaller pieces.  I am still working on "Deer Friends" by Becky Boos.  It is fun and easy since its on 10 count fabric, but still is taking me awhile.

Other than watching American Idol (boring), I have been trying to clean the house. Sort of a pre-Spring Cleaning.  I got some new to me spray cleaner...Method Lavendar spray. Oh I love it! Works great and I don't feel like I am using so many chemicals! 

Well, better get back to work!  Have a great day!
