I had a Great Weekend

I had the best weekend ever!

My girls were home,

My oldest daughter only lives 10 miles from us

but my middle daughter lives 2 hours away,

so her and her 3 girls stayed with us

Friday and Saturday night.

Friday night we had wine and

Tastefully Simply Beer Bread

and 4 different dips

(the kids got orange juice & sprite mixed together)

they thought that was great until I ran out.

Saturday I made a big pot of Chili and

a pot of Country Chicken Chowder for 

everyone to enjoy when they got hungry.

The girls took lots of pictures of there kids on the farm.

On to some Stitchy stuff:

Friday I finished a LK that I have been working on for a while.

I stitched it on 32 ct but don't remember the name of it

and used the floss that it called for.

Now I need to decided if I am going to put it in

a frame or make it into a pillow. 

Then I also finished a Christmas ornament

Ornament #2

This is for the Christmas Ornament Challenge that I joined.

This one came from a book called

Leisure Arts - Mini Cross Stitch Ornaments

produced by Kooler Designs Studio

There are 116 designs in this book.

I Finished this little cutie with white felt on the back

And I put a few more stitches in my

Norwegian Biscornu

So there you have it,

A bunch of stitching done

a great weekend with family

what more could a girl ask for!

Happy Stitching

Lots of Christmas Stuff

Nothing very exciting happened this week. I did get some stitching in of course.

First up is:

This is not a very good picture as the material is

suppose to be a cream color.

Hopefully when I get this finished into a

Christmas ornament I can get a proper pic of it.

Next up is:

I got some more done on this LK

Wanted - Santa

and Last but not least

I started a Christmas ornament for my little

granddaughter.

She is a big Mickey Mouse fan!

So digging thru my stash I found  an

old leftlet (from 1982) by Gloria&Pat

Walt Disney - Christmas in Counted Cross Stitch

and so I started Minne Mouse for her.

Just about done with the x's then on to the

backstitching. I might even do Mickey for her also.

Well its back to my stitching chair for a little while.

Its nice and quite here for a while the guys are all

outside working.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend

with lots of stitching time.

Happy Stitching

Another Busy Week - Gone

                                       

On Monday I got another LK Christmas Blessing done.

This makes 7 that I have completed. 

On Tuesday I worked on LK Wanted-Santa

I got the presents done

On Wednesday I decided to start a new project

It is a Christmas ornament from

JCS Christmas ornament magizine

Hopeing to get this one done tomorrow.

On Friday I had 3 grandkids here for the day

(they didnot have school)

So you know I didn't get any stitching in with them around.

Saturday morning I went to another football game

and watched Trey play. There team won again

Yaaaaaaaaaaa!

My daughter, Kay and her family

surprised us and came to the game also.

(they live 1 1/2 hours away from us)

And then came to the farm for a little while.

Before they left for home I got this cute picture of them.

Her Boyfriend (Travis) and his three daughters

Kenzie, Kasey. & Kyla.

After they left my DH pulled in with his combine 

and boy did he have it plugged

and he was not a happy camper

so I took a picture

And Sunday I spent in the calf barn cleaning out pens

just in case we get new calves on monday ( which we didn't)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I was so tried that I didn't get any stitching in on Sunday.

Well that was my week!

One final picture before I close this up,

My cute granddaughter - Sharlee

I hope everyone has a great week

Happy Stitching
