I finished the back stitching on bath time by DMC. I just love how the back stitching brought the piece to life. I'm going to frame this myself and hang it in boo's room. His room is a catch all for my stitching. If I have no where in the house to put it, (doesn't fit my room theme) then I just hang it on his walls. He loves starring at my work for some reason. Here is a final picture of it. I still need to add my name and date to the picture. Just haven't decided where to put them.
I have a little over a week before Brandon's birthday party. I'm hoping the weather stays nice and we can have it in the back yard. I have a fenced in back yard. I think we are just going to have cake and ice cream. Nothing special, invite the family over, let the little ones play and the adults can have some conversation. I don't know yet. Have to wait and see what the paychecks are like. I worked my butt off this weekend, pulled 3 12 hour shifts, and then I went in yesterday on my day off and worked 5 hours. So I should be into over time now, hoping to do some more 12's this weekend. Thank goodness I love my job or I don't know what I'd do. Keith and I have still been fighting over the house work. I don't think I should have to do all of the cleaning if I'm working so many hours a week, he gets to sit home and do nothing but take care of Brandon. He thinks if he does the laundry he doesn't have to do anything else. Must be a man thing. LOL
I gotta get off here. Beth the help me grow lady is on her way over. I totally forgot about her coming today. I gotta get Brandon a bath before she gets here. LOL
Thanks for visiting my blog and thank you so much for the comments!

Happy Birthday :) I have a similar to ott light lamp and love it! That's a GREAT deal!
That's a great birthday present!
Mine's not an Ott brand, but I have a daylight lamp that I've become quite attached to. So much so that I bought a portable Ott light on clearance at Hancock's awhile back to use for travel. It's gotten to where I can't stitch without some real light.
Fantastic birthday pressie, well done hubby!
Bathtime looks great, the backstitch sure does make it look wonderful.
I used to have a lamp similar to an Ott Light, but no longer since it broke. I really need to replace it, especially living in the condo for the next 4 months. The lighting ridiculously bad, so bad in fact I can hardly stitch at home.
Good luck with figuring out what is going to work best with regards to housework while you're working so much. That is a tough one!
Have with the birthday party whatever you decide to do. Getting together with family is fun, for the most part. ;)
Happy Birthday to you, A daylight lamp is on my list for xmas mine so old now,

Lovely finish!!! And great birthday gift!!
Happy birthday, Becca. I have an Ott floor lamp, and also 2 Ott table lamps (the fold-up ones). I don't know how I would stitch without them!
Happy Birthday! What a wonderful hubby you have! Can I borrow him? I do have an Ott light, just a small desk style, and I love it! Also love your Bath Time. The back stitching makes it pop.
