Wedding Season is upon us!

Since the wedding season is upon us I decided to stitch a pattern that features two wedding rings tied with a ribbon inside of a wreath.  There are 2 flowers also inside the wreath.  I stitched this same pattern for my niece and her husband when they got married and added a pretty frame to the present along with a check.  Makes a great gift.

Now I'm itching to stitch a Santa pattern.  It's a little early for Christmas stuff but I just bought it a few weeks ago and can't resist stitching one up.  Stitching will have to wait for a bit since I'm off to run errands.

I need to check out my garden today, too, and see if anything I planted last week is coming up.  Sure hope so.  I hate replanting things.

Have a great day!

Happy crafting!

Back to the old routine

Well my peace and quiet has come to an end.  Hubby came home on Tuesday night and kids are back in the house as of Monday.  I do have to say that I missed my husband by Monday night.  I just don't sleep well when he's not home in bed with me.  I guess since I've shared a bed with either my husband or a sibling all my life I just am not used to sleeping alone.

Along with everyone coming home came the mess.  I'm back into Mom, maid, cook mode.  That I didn't miss!  I love my family but you have to work a whole lot harder when they are home.  I have found time to stitch in short, little periods of time.  I'm almost done with a cross stitch wedding card piece. 

Check back in a day or so to see how it turns out.

Happy crafting!

Peace & Quiet

Wow!  What a long and peaceful weekend I had.  Hubby went fishing, my son went to his cousin's house, and my daughter worked and was out with her boyfriend so I had 2 full days all to myself.  I didn't have to cook a single meal and I loved it!  And cleaning house, who has to clean house when it's only you at home.  Apparently I am NOT the messy one around here.

I did find lots of time to cross stitch too.  Here's my newest item I finished and listed tonight.

Now that this one is done I think I'll log off of here and go pick out my next pattern.  I'll be able to stitch tomorrow too because hubby is still gone and kids will be at school all day.  Yeah!!  Loving the me time.  It's like Mother's Day came early for me.

Happy crafting!
