I’ll cross that stitch when I come to it

…what have I been doing? Well, we’ve been decorating

Believe me, it’s a lot tackier in person , but it has made giving directions to the house a lot easier… “Yup, turn left into the subdivision. See that jumble of lights in the back? Just drive towards it…” […]

Things never go quite as planned, do they? Glenn was scheduled to go back to PA last Thursday morning to coordinate moving the rest of my stuff from the storage unit to NC. I was supposed to stay home and try to finish unpacking / cleaning / watching over the kitties (did […]

Cheryl and Sharon recently (ok, not THAT recently) gave me the You Make Me Smile aware. Awww, thanks so much!

The rules are that you have to give it to 10 people who make you smile…
so
1 & 2 are right back atcha, Cheryl and Sharon! Is that allowed? I’m not sure, but, […]

Here’s what I’ve been stitching on mostly.

This is Just Nan’s Ghoulies and Ghosties. This is actually the first JN chart I’m stitching for myself I’ve been having a lot of fun with this - it’s DMC on 28ct linen, so it’s not something I have to concentrate too much on. […]

…see?
Here’s the boxes at the apt…

…and here they are in the new house.

Here’s more pictures of what the new house looked like on October 1st. Honestly, we’ve done a ton since then, but gosh, it’s hard to take time to stitch when all those boxes are begging to be unpacked. Even so, […]

Yup, we’re moved in!
Well, after all the stress and worry and anxiety, closing on Thursday went quite smoothly. We were in and out in under an hour! Friday we got a ton of new furniture delivered, and had tons of other things set up at the house. On Saturday, all our […]

Well, actually, three days until we close. The movers don’t actually come until Saturday - but we’ll be busy from 11:30am Thursday on! We’re taking Thursday and Friday off, but, on reflection, I wish we could’ve taken the whole week off. It just seems like there’s so much to do […]

And here’s a pic of Toni’s RR, all finished and signed!

I used elements from LHN’s designs. I really enjoyed stitching on this, and I can’t wait to get the next one! Sorry the picture’s crooked - I scanned it right before popping into the envelope to go out, and didn’t check before […]

It’s been very hectic around here, so I haven’t been posting much.
Gram’s still at the rehab center, but today we found out she’s set to be discharged Saturday. She’s still unable to walk, and pretty much requires 24 hour care, so she won’t be able to go home yet. We’re hoping to […]

Here’s a little quickie I stitched up last night - I was too tired to work on anything important - like the exchanges! - so I started this little Periphaeria Designs freebie instead.

It’s sooo teeny tiny - I love it! It’s stitched on my 22ct fabric, and it’s just over an inch big.
I […]
