March TUSAL

March brings a little more thread in the jar - yay! Project coming along nicely.....crossing fingers that I can finish it soon!

All the critters in the house are doing good - Paco's coughing is down some which is GREAT!

TUSAL February

After promptly giving myself a mini computer virus on Tuesday, I forgot to post my photo once it was all straightened out!
So here goes......

I have been making good progress on my latest project.....

On another note, we have removed our french doors in the foyer - FINALLY!

We will be switching out the doorways to be plain and I'm going to  put a side curtain on each opening. I'm excited!

Mayfield Kitty keeps going to the door but says it is too cold to go out.....he must've learned a lesson for staying out all night last night - he has slept all day.

He is a little angel when he wants to be!

Tomorrow is MONDAY - UGH!

Hope everyone has a great week!

TUSAL - January

First photo coming right up. Although the jar looks skimpy, I have actually been a busy bee! Some of my leftover threads went straight to the trash! I promise to do better......

January 2011

Here is an updated photo of my current work in progress!



I'm really liking the colors in this one!

The monsoon ended today so I'm hoping for prettier weather this week!

Michael & I tried out the Kinect this evening - loads of fun and we both concluded that we need to be more active on a more regular basis!

Since this is Paco's Place - I can't leave without mentioning the little stinker - he is still hanging tough!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!



It's A New Year!

The end of 2011 left my family with much sadness. We lost a very dear uncle, Billy, to cancer just after Thanksgiving and his sweet family has had such a struggle over his passing.Just before Christmas, my daughter and son-in-law lost one of their dogs (they had two 1 year old huskies - brothers from the same litter) due to a horrible accident.

                                          Rest in Peace, Harper - you were such a Good Boy!

In the middle of it all, Paco began to have spells - not sure if they are seizures or his body trying to pass out from lack of oxygen due to spurts of increased activity......they have been few and far between, thank goodness. I know with his condition he can't last forever but it's heartbreaking to see him have these spells. He is still Momma's Boy!

I've been stitching a new project - yay for me and coming right along with it!

Hoping I can keep moving along with it and finish it up in the next couple of weeks - I'll post a new photo as I progress.

Happy New Year!

Stitching the Night Away Give Away

Just want to give a shout out to Loretta at STNA for her recent announcement of a giveaway. Check out her blog and on facebook at Stitching the Night Away!

Oh, Ragweed, How I Hate Thee!

And so, with it cooling off a "tad" outside over the weekend, I decided to sit outside and go thru some thread while the gentle breeze was blowing......unaware that the ever blooming ragweed and its accomplices were also blowing....right up my nose. So I am now on day three of the most itchy nose I've had in a while and dare I say, it has been a miserable few days. On the up side, I have been doing some stitching. I'm working on "I Will Always Be A Wildflower" by Sam Sarah Design Studio. My daughter has a very pretty tattoo on her foot that says Wildflower so I thought this was perfect for her when I ran across it.

Latest Project

I am working on Wendy's Owl by Ship's Manor for my husband's nanny. She is in the nursing home and loves owls so I thought this would be colorful for her room. Not sure yet if it will just be framed or something else possibly.....
