No stitching day.

Boy, today seems like it was going to last forever. I thought I would even get a little stitching done. Nope! My hubby's jeep broke down while my son was driving it. So while hubby went to get him and the jeep. I finished dinner and made his birthday cake. Tomorrow is his birthday. I couldn't find my cake pan I had planed on using so that changed my plans. Finally they were home dinner was finished cake in oven but with clean up and laundry that left no time for stitching. I could be doing it now but I can hardly see to type this. Maybe better luck tomorrow.

Super Sunday!

Yesterday was the best day I have had for stitching in a very long time. I got very wrapped up in the Prairie Moon piece. It just flowed. I have not had MOJO like that in a little over a year. It proved to me that life does come around.
Fall weekends at my house brings out the crock pot. My family has favorite foods that are just too hot to eat in the summer. This Sunday brought Nanny's Beans and Weenies. She made this bean concoction and it was wonderful and I did not use to be a fan but this won me over. However she has passed many years ago and I use to make it more often. I forgot the recipe. I know some of it but for the life of me I could not remember all of it so I put a little of this and little of that and it turned out pretty good. My hubby even said it was perfect. I'm thinking chili next week.

A Little Late but here

I know I promised a quicker update, sorry I'd like to give good reasons but I don't have anything but life moving on.  Here are the pictures of my house for Halloween.  I hope you had a Happy Halloween.

I also have been working on Prairie Moon's Thine is the Trick and the Treat.  I have been working on it for a couple of days and it is coming along nicely.  I have almost two of the motifs.   I have also been working on a quilt for a friend.  I have been promising it for too long.  I am joining the Country Cottage's Monthly Cottage Stitch along.  I excited about it the first cottage looks very cute.
I have been reading some blogs as of late.  What are some of your favorites?

It's been awhile. . .

      I wish I had a good excuse for not blogging but I don't.  The sad news is I have only finished a small project since I posted last.  I have not had any mojo going.  I keep trying but it's a no go.  And the old saying is if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all.  Well, that has been me for the last few weeks.  I have literally keeping my mouth shut.  I really could not put my finger on what it was, but it was deep and dark and scary.  I hope the wind has taken it somewhere else to never return.  My goal tonight after dinner is to finish a scissor fob I started last week. If that happens then I plan on moving on to something new.  I'm thinking Halloweenish.  I have a few of those because I love, love Halloween.  Off to have dinner.  If I'm remember I will take some pictures of my Halloween house.  Come back and check that out!

Happy Stitching!! Cindy

Random Acts of Kindess

      I know stitchers call random acts of kindness RAK.  My hubby and I did two RAKs yesterday.  I first was some what selfish.  We went to Chilli's for dinner because part of our bill would go to our son's school, it was a win win kind of thing.  I didn't have to cook and it helped the school.  This led to the other RAK.  As we were walking to our car a young man asked if my hubby would help him jump start his car.  My hubby said yes(my hubby is very mechanical).  After a few trys my hubby tells the young man his battery is shot.  Lucky for him there is an Auto Zone about two blocks away.  I forgot to mention it was sprinkling by now.  We tell the young man to hop in and we would run him down there.  Surprised he hops in off we go.  We get back to his car and he said thanks.  You can leave, I can put it in.  My hubby said he wasn't leaving until he got his car started.  Which started right away with the new battery.  We found out he is in the military, his girlfriend is deployed and he's from Florida with no one to call to help him in the area.  I think Karma put us there to help him.  Because to be completely honest until I found out about helping the school I was planning something else for dinner.  Right place right time which if you know me that very rarely happens usually it's the wrong place wrong time.   


Sorry this post contained no stitching, maybe tomorrow.

AH! September is here.

       I know it's been a while sorry about that.  They say if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all.  So that is what I did.  I have been stitching on the pink snowman(woman).  I finished night before last.  I changed one of the colors, it was too close to the fabric color.  Now I am contemplating what to start next.  My goal lately has been to finish things I have already started.  I have been doing well with that, but we all know there is nothing like starting a brand new project.  With market just a few weeks ago the designers out did themselves by putting out some beautiful designs.  What do I do?  Any ideas? I'm thinking a  fall project.  September brings cooler mornings and earlier sunsets.  It really brings great designs.  I always love the fall designs the colors just pop right off the fabric and beg to be stitched. Email me let me know what you are stitching. 

Until we meet again.... Cindy
