Rambling

STITCHING
Finished the center of Kayden's blanket. Precious Moments by Gloria & Pat, leaflet "The Lord Giveth PM-20". The little boy with the fist pattern is called "My Love Will Never Let You Go". But Dara didn't want the words stitched on it so I added the dog. The dog is from the pattern called "Fill Your Happy Home With Love" they are in the same leaflet.


Then I started on the bottom of Kayden's blanket. The "M" is huge. I have already used 3 and 1/2 skeins of DMC 3752 on just the "M". Information on this pattern is in January 19th post.


ETSY
Picnic Hanging Tuck and Love Earrings were in two different Treasury's. Then I made by own Treasury, called "A Little Green" and put in the Beaded Ring.


My shop was featured in Huckleberry Bumpkin's Blog. Thanks so much!

MY WEEK
Monday I touched up the paint in the living room, repainted all the trim and front door and moved everything around and it seems like there is a lot more room.

Wednesday Bob and I took his Mom to the air port she went to Florida for two weeks. This is her first trip out of state since my FIL had died, 4 years ago. After we dropped her off we decided to stop by a bead shop. Arrived a little early and waited for them to open, just a few minutes after they were suppose to be open I walked up to the door, on the door was a small sign that said they were only open on Saturdays now until mid Feb. GGGGRRRRR!!!

Dylan's shoulder is still bothering him so I took him back to the Dr's and they want to give him a shot. He decided to wait a week to see if it gets better.

I did a lot of baking this week made Eclairs, peanut butter cookies, peanut butter balls and no bake cookies. All the recipes can be found in my blog under "baking".

We did our own taxes this year, cost for filling was $30.00. We always had H&R Block do our taxes for years, but last year it cost us over $400.00 we decided to do them ourselves from now on. LOL! Want a big difference!!! Now the waiting.

Kayden is saying more and more words and his favorite game right now is hid the Binky. We will hide his Binky, while he closes his eyes and then when we are done we will give a glue to where it is, like in the living room under a pillow. Then it goes right to it. It's so cute.

Brandon got the job! He had been working at JC Penny's but after the holidays his hours were cut back to about 8 hours a week. So, he started looking for another job. He will be working at Rent A Center and will be getting over 40 hours a week. So, the first thing Brandon does...started calling for apartments. Looks like they (Dara, Kayden and Brandon) will be moving out this summer. So I am trying to prepare myself.
