Stitch Nite

Well I had a wonderful day today. I got a wonderful yearly review from my boss and a raise to boot plus it is Wednesday so off to Jayne's I went. I missed you T! I actually got so more done on the moose. I think now I am going to stitch on it more at home. I just can't keep putting it down and picking it up twice a week to keep my interest going and once I loose interest there is no coming back to it and it would be a waste of fabric time and thread. Anyhow I feel pretty darn good today one of my better days and glad that tomorrow means three shifts left then another break even if it is only for the Sunday. Last Saturday till the middle of January. I need the money but I also need a good break too! I can't wait to start on the HAED!!! I might be cursing it though I think in the end. Oh well it will be beautiful when I'm done.

8 days till Christmas that means 7 work days....

Happy Stitching!

Happy Sunday

Ok I am basically down to blogging once a week and I am very sorry for that but actually nothing really to talk about so I will tell you all the bits and pieces in on post instead.

Hubby bought he flatscreen tv this week he is just over the moon. Glad he will be soo happy for the holidays he get pretty bummed out.


Anyways I think I did about ten stitched last night on the moose, I really can't get into it for some reason. I don't know if it the stopping during the week or what but its not working.

Ok stupid stupid me went on the Haed web site and you know I luv Santas so I was looking at the patterns and then for some reason I ended up on other artist by accident and my first love is White tigers or tigers period with dragonflys a close second so this is what I found...



how perfect is he??? OMG I cannot wait to start and I think I will start New years nite!! Ah whats another work in progress right he is going to take a long time anyhow so what the hell. one over one on 25 ct lugana shouldn't be too bad.

I hung my beatiful tiger plates on the wall they had been in storage under the old tv stand and i totallay forgot about them

Then I had all the rest of my boxes that needed to be shipped out wrapped and ready to go tomorrow I am ...no my husband was a little behind the shipping date but they should get to Quebec on time. I wanted to share my mother in laws quilt that my mom helped me with ....

mom hand quilted it, I sewn the top together what a team effort and I am so thankful to have my mom help me!!!!

SNOW...I swore sorry!

There I said it...we are going to receive our first dump of snow tonight sometime so driving in the morning will be a nightmare. Thank God i don't start till 10. Way past rush hour.

I actually stitched tonight...sat my butt in its place and worked on Inspiration it is really fun to stitch and I am loving it. I will post an update when I have the page I'm working on done I'm have 50% of the page done in one night so thats pretty good. Now if only the moose would stitch up that fast.....we will see tomorrow I guess.

Got all my Christmas cards sent out except a few special ones that I will get out on Friday. I have 1 package to mail out too on Friday then I think Christmas is taken care of....maybe ...I seem to find something else that I come up with or remember that I want or have to do.

Got to tell you about my sat shift...for those of you who do not know I work for a chain as a pharmacy technician and the pharmacist I was working with was grossing me right out. You know things happen, noises are made gas happens! But what happens when you are stuck in a confined space with a co-worker you don't even know ripping out wet, loud ones, one after the other during a 6 hr shift not having any manners and around customers what do you do? (yes it was a man). I laugh about it now but that shift was horrible wish I had earplugs or maybe I should have went out and got him some Beano or gas-x from aisle 6 lol. OMG what a day!!!!!!!

Well I am off to finish reading Breaking Dawn again for the 6th time...yes I'm a little obsessed ok.

Happy Stitch Wednesday...I hope I can get to Jaynes in the snow!! (If I don't show up you know why...my husband wouldn't let me lol he tends to keep me at home when its bad even though he knows I've driven in worse since I'm a northern girl lol)

Santa's Prayer on Christmas Eve

The sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed,
But Santa still knelt by the side of the bed.
"Dear Father," he prayed "Be with me tonight.
There's much work to do and my schedule is tight.
I must jump in my sleigh and streak through the sky,
Knowing full well that a reindeer can't fly.
I will visit each household before the first light;
I'll cover the world and all in one night.
With sleigh bells a-ringing, I'll land on each roof,
Amid the soft clatter of each little hoof.
To get in the house is the difficult part,
So I'll slide down the chimney of each child's heart.
My sack will hold toys to grant all their wishes.
The supply will be endless like the loaves and the fishes.
I will fill all the stockings and not leave a track.
I'll eat every cookie that is left for my snack.
I can do all these things Lord, only through You,
I just need your blessing, then it's easy to do.
All this is to honor the birth of the One,
That was sent to redeem us, Your most Holy Son.
So to all of my friends, least Your glory I rob,
Please Lord, remind them who gave me this job."
