jazzy cat story

OK so here is the story. Yesterday on my way to work, I found a black and white cat, dead on the road near our house. It was hit by a car and looked pretty bad. I thought it was jazzy. Took off work early so I could bury it before it got to hot. I was out side in the garage getting this cat ready to be buried. Had him in a trash bag, was putting tape on the bag when I felt something rub against my leg. I looked down and THERE WAS MY CAT! So I picked her up, brought her in the house, checked her over. And then it hit me...whose cat do I have in the garage?? Well I went ahead and berried the cat, just thought it was the thing to do. But how odd is it that I was getting ready to bury a cat that I thought was Jazzy when she decided to come home. Here is a picture of her and the new kitty. They are NOt getting a long very well.








we also changed the kittens name from lily to Sassy. It is a sassy little thing. So very play full.



My niece is running for princess of the festival. WE find out if she is the winner tonight at 7pm. Here she is riding in a float at today's parade. I hope she wins, she is soooo very shy and this will do her some good,.


Here is my WIP pic. I have a little more of it done, just haven't taken a picture of it yet. I think I'm going to do the back stitching before I work on the border. I might have this done this month! That would be awesome. I'm off here to do a little more stitching before bed. I'm beat tonight, working all day, and then going to the festival wore me out.
I bought Hip Hop Abs off of eBay last week. I got it in the mail today. So tomorrow I'm going to start a new exercise routine. (Hip hop abs is a very popular exercise DVD, everyone here is into it., teaches you to exercise and a few new dance moves.) I finally broke down and sold my treadmill. I never used it and it was taken up so much space. I'd rather walk a few miles outside then inside on that machine. Keith had a fit but he's over it.

WIP, and my back yard




I spent most of yesterday stitching. Brandon was in such a great mood, played in his room by himself. He must have known that mommy needed some stitching time. Here is a picture of my WIP. I talked to Candice this past week. She is pregnect with twins girls. So I changed the blue border to pink. Thought it would suit a girl better.




I'd like to share a picture of the tree thats in my back yard. I love this tree. It's always so pretty and different with every changing season. Right now it is full of flowers. And the flowers smell so good! If anyone knows the name of this tree plz let me know.


Brandon has a black eye. He tripped and fell down the step out side. His face looks awful. I swear people probably thing I beat him. He always has bruses on his face from falling or running into things. Boy lil guy.


Today I am going to spend the day cleaning. Oh what fun. This house is a disaster. And the laundry..piles and piles of it. Guess going on a laundry strike last week wasn't such a good idea. LOL It did get my husband to put his dirty clothes in the hamper and not on the floor. One step closer I guess. Why do men have to be slobs! Grrrr...

Here is my WIP of gathering eggs. Doesn't she look so beautiful! I was hoping to get her done by Easter but I don't think i'm going to make it. There are a lot of..bubbles on this piece. I've undone so many stitches. I blame it on the fabric. I have NEVER stitched on such fabric. I wish I knew was it was called so I can ad void it in the future. LOL



Here is my WIP of Sisters Forever. I'm trying to back stitch it as I go along. I usually wait and back stitch at the end. But with all the scattered stitches I think back stitching it as I go will keep me from messing up so much. Here is a pic of what it will look like when finished. I have had it in my stash for a long while. It's from a magazine. I don't recall the name or the year. But if anyone is interested I'll post it.
Last evening Keith and I watched a great Movie called I am Legend. It has Will Smith in it. It is a very slow paced movie. Keith fell asleep twice. But I loved it. I was able to wrap floss onto bobbins and not miss much of the movie. LOL I gotta lot of floss done. (of course boo boo was down for a nap).
I gotta spend most of today cleaning house. It is a total disaster.I'm not sure how it gets so messed up. Wish me luck!

WIP...only back stitching left!

Here is a picture of Logan's stocking. It's really moving along. For some reason I'm Hateing the back stitching. And usually I love to back stitch. The back stitching means I'm soon going to be starting something else. I have my next project already picked out. It's going to be a valentine gift for my hubby. Shouldn't take me long to stitch it.

Here is a finish for my sister. I just love it. I think i'm going to put it on my to do list. And I just love the frame and mat she picked. It's awesome. She has several other project started. I'm glad she finally finished one. LOL
Not much else has been going on. Lady at work gave me a drum set for Brandon. Can't wait to try that out. Can anyone say head ache? He is getting his last 4 teeth in and is being a pain in the butt. Crying and fussie. Lord help me. Can't wait intil it's over. Anyways, i'm going to get off here and stitch while boo is napping.

Brrrrrr.....it's cold

Man is it cold out side. I think it's like 14 degrees out. It snowed a lot today. Nothing stuck to the ground tho. Suppose to have snow and ice this weekend. Hope it doesn't prevent me from getting to work. Brrrrrr....

I took Boo to the doctors today. He has a yeast infection. So it's no wonder I couldn't get rid of his diaper rash. Some days I would be in tears, feeling like a horrid mother, when in fact there wasn't anything I could have done to get rid of the rash. Thank goodness I broke down yesterday and called the doctor. Poor boo boo. I couldn't get his medication tonight because the Pharmacy didn't have it in, but it should be in by tomorrow when I get off work.


Here is a picture of my WIP. Man I'm almost done with this stocking. I can't wait to finish it so I can start something new. For those of you reading my blog and don't know it..I'm a one project woman. LOL I can't start something new until I finish what I'm working on. I KNOW if I start something new I'll NEVER finish what i have started. So it's a rule I've made myself stick too. So Guess what?!?! No UFOs in my closet.
As you can see, I've changed my background to hearts. I'm ready for valentines day! I want to say a HUGE thank you to Kim B. for helping me figure out how to change the back ground. Soon as I have time I'm going to put back my side bars. But right now I'm off to stitch. Boo has gone to my sisters for the night, Keith isn't home from work yet...so it's just me and my stitching!!!
Hugs all!
