The Big 100

Well would you look at that. 100 hundred followers. I guess I'll have to pull another name out of the hat for a third prize. Please comment on the previous post to sign up for the THANKSGIVEAWAY!!

I've been real busy with school these past couple of weeks, I've forgotten how stressful it can be. At least I will be all done this semester. I've been trying to crochet a few Christmas presents, but I haven't finished anything yet. I am getting real close though. I will post pick in the next couple of days. Cross stitch has been put on the back burner for now, but I did pick up another Prairie Schooler Bird last night and put a few stitches in. Not enough to share.

Here is a pic from Halloween. This was the best pic I could get that the girls were both in the shot. Big sister cannot sit still for a camera at all. She's just too busy. Oh, well


Have a great day,

I'm Up...and It's Hot

IT'S HOT!!! AND HUMID!!!

Baby Sister woke me up early and she went back to bed. Well, that's what babies do. Now I am still up in front of the computer endlessly searching, finding freebies, perusing blogs and navigating the Hand Dyed Fibers website. I could do this all day, if the kids let me....

Did I mention It's Hot... It's only 70 F outside, but it is 86 in this house...UGH. No air conditioning. There's not much need for that up here in Northern Maine, we'll only get a couple of weeks a year of unbearably hot weather. We've got a couple of fans going in the house, but they are constantly pointed at the kids, and they are only just blowing around the hot air.

I'll get Big Sister out in the pool today, hopefully we'll have a nice breeze today. My Mother is a school teacher so she has been spending her summer off most days helping me with the kids. God Bless her. Let me tell you, I need the help. Maybe we'll go shopping today, just to get into the air conditioning.

Going to try to get a little more stitching done on my ornament. I have to frog the tops of the trees, because silly me... I was not looking at the chart (probably the TV) and kept going with the repeat until the tops. Then I noticed as I was about to add the snow. I'll update that later.

Have a great day,
Hillery

Does Anyone Have Any Advice????

How can I get my breastfed baby to take a bottle. She absoultely hates it. I am using pumped breastmilk and have used many different types of bottles and nipples. I would love to have a little freedom from the nursing!!!! My first daughter had no problem taking a bottle and the breast. Any tips, hints, suggestions, stories....
