Well as you can see I did not get much done last night. I was surfing the net looking for new sewing machines. I have a White machine and I am really getting tired of getting it fixed. I h ave had a lot of problems with the tension with the bobbin thread. Yes, I have done every thing it tells me to do in the trouble shooting guide but it does not work *sigh* I then take it in to have it fixed it works for a few months then we start all over again. I do have to say this machine is 12 years old. So I think I will go for a new one. I have been looking at a Kenmore and so far I have only seen good reviews for it. I don't need a computerized one I just want a every day good machine. To make my needle books and some small quilting items I do. Oh, I do make some clothing now and then for my self. So it is not like I need a fancy dancy machine :o) Well I hope to work more on the Ink Circle tonight and keep the surfing down to a minimum. But I so enjoy the new lap top I got after Christmas. Though I am still getting use to it :o)

well off to eat lunch have a good stitching day

Good afternoon all
well I was going to post this earlier to day but I am just now getting around too it :o) Well I did not get much done last night. I did get the center filled in and then I gave in to filling in the colors I only did get three places done. I was really sore last night and really tired. I posted that I had to go and see the back doctor yesterday. Well I was right I did have a problem *sigh* in my hip. They gave me some shots that really hurt [OK I really don't like needles but it did hurt :o) ] I am still sore where they put the needle in to my hip. I do have to say they thought it was fun I was the third person that day that had the same problem. I guess that it is very uncommon problem so they where suprised that the had three in one day. This is going to be a fun week tomorrow I have appointment with the Heart doctor. Which will be fun since it is a family deal the husband and the father in law all see my doctor :o) Oh yeah *sigh* will just see if the father in law is on good behavior or not grrrr .
Well have a good week all

Morning all
Well it looks like I did give in to the cross stitching :o) I did get quit a bit done yesterday :o) I hope to fill in the empty spot today. I am not sure if I will start to fill in the colors or keep going with the black. For those that know me, know how I had to force my self to keep doing the black. I am one of those stitchers that hate a lot of one color stitching :o) but since I have to pay attention and there is a lot of moving it has not been that bad. Well I should get some thing done since the Hubby comes home today :o) and I have a to go to the Doctors about my hip pain *sigh* Doubt the Doctor will do but will see.
Have a good week all see yeah to more I hope :o)

One of my dear friends mother passed away and she gave me her yarn so this is what I did with just a small part of the yarn. all the white yarn is from my Mother in law.The brown yarn is my friends yarn. I still have some a lot of the white yarn and I am working on another lap throw with it. :o) I will post that one when done.

Well I guess I should post a update

Wow I have not posted in awhile :o) Well I have had a lot of things happen since Feb. I lost one of my fur babies Broadway he was only 4 years old. This is him with Briar She is the one on the bottom :o)
He had a bad start in life when we picked him off the street where he was left to fend for him self. He had a good life with here with his 2 brothers and 3 sisters.



Well we where not looking to add another fur baby, but in October we walked in to Petco. Well you can guess where this is going. :o) There was this very beautiful green eyed black kitty looking up at me very pitifully and gives me this very rusty meow.
After my husband looked over her papers we knew she was going home with us. Isabella had been in APL system 7 months and needed a forever home. She is still learning that this is where she is staying, and starting to trust us and her all her new brothers and sisters. Though the boys feel out numbered since it is now 4 girls against the 2 boys :o) After all this my father -in-Law fell and broke a hip and his wrist. he is now home and doing much better. I also had a light case of the H1N1 but got over this thank goodness. so know it is January and a start to a new year I can only hope that things go much smoother this year then the last two :o)

So now we have two black kitties that we have to look to see who is who since one has golden eyes and the other has green eyes :o) then there is my baby boy who things he is the man :o) Domino there is a picture on my blog of him helping me make cookies last year :o)

With all this I did get some stitching done and here are the pictures. This is not all of the things I stitch but close :o)
I started a Ink Circles Design Winter Mandala, it was published in Just CrossStitch Jan/Feb 2010 issue. Here is a picture of the first four days I did not get much done since I was not feeling good and just did not stitch much. It seems I had eaten something that did not sit well with my meds I take for my heart and the pain in my lower back. I hope to get some stitching done this weekend as the husband is out of town. Though I do need to make two book cover to recover some books for a friend, and I should be making needle books for my Etsy store then there is the house cleaning that should get done. Hum lets just see what I do get done me thinks it will be the stitching :o) Well I am getting the look from the fur babies that it is dinner time :o) so I am going to try to post morr this year :o)

have a great weekend
