Been Busy

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. I have been so busy this summer with my girls. We did a lot of cross stitching together and a lot of crafts. They both went back to school on July 17th and both of their first report cards were straight A's. I'm so proud of them!!!!

Last week I sprained my ankle really bad and have been in a air splint ever since. Today I go back to the doctor's to see if I can take it off. I doubt it as it still hurts a lot. But we will see.

CATS is only 2 weeks away and I can't wait!!!! This will be my first time and I'm going to meet my dear friend Angie. This was part of her birthday gift this year. I'm also hoping to meet everyone that knows me. I'm hoping to plan a lunch or dinner together. Or even just meeting in the stitcher's lounge and stitching with all my friends. So how many of my lovely readers are going? Can't wait to find out.

Hope you all have a beautiful day and lot's of stitching!!!!

Galetea PR Model Done :)

Just got done finishing her today. She is so sparkly and takes my breath away when I see her. I'm really amazed that she only took me 10 days to finish her. This is the fastest that I have ever done a model, OMG!!! Kudos to Laura for this beautiful design!!!!

New PR Model

Today Laura released the new PR design. Her name is Galatea and is such a sparkly mermaid. I've only been working on her for 5 days and already have her half way done. Hopefully next week sometime I will have her done.

I'll write more later. Lot's of things have gone on this summer. But back to stitching on this beauty.

Queen of the Fairies - Model Finished

Well she's all done and GORGEOUS!!!!!


Everything around here is starting to settle down. And I'm feeling better living with my Mom. It's been an adjustment, but we are getting through it all. I even got my Mom stitching again since her accident 2 years ago. She's not as fast as she use to be. I'm having to teach her how to stitch. It's funny that I'm having to do this for her, as she's the one that taught me. It's true that when they say we have to re-teach our parents when they get older. I just never thought that I would have to do it so soon. But I'm thankful that I can help my Mom.

Lot's going on...

Moving has really taken alot out of me. But for now, we are on hold until we can get the new room addition put on. Our house looks like a storage unit in the dining room and I can't get to my cross stitch stash. So I guess that gives me a good reason to buy more stash. LOL!!! My girls only have 3 weeks of school left and my little Sierra is graduating Kindergarten. I'm so excited for both of my girls, but not looking towards summer vacation. At least they start back in July and they will both be in all day. Hmmmm, wonder what I will do with all that free time? Oh I know, STITCH!!!!

I have been working on my model for Laura and all I can say is that it's better than the last design. She's taking me a little longer than I thought she would, but she's so rewarding to stitch.

Moving / Queen of the Fairies Model Wip

Well we are moving this weekend into my Mom's house. She's not been doing very well on her own. Lots of panic attacks and anxiety. So we decided to move a month and a half early. I'm really dreading this packing and unpacking. But I know once we get over there, everything will be much better for all of us. Of course, that's going to give me more $$$ for craft supplies. hehehehe

Here are my wip's for the new PR model. The first one is done on SMF's Waterloo Sunset Lugana for Laura. And the second one is the fabric I started on, SW's Elengance Reflections Luana. Hope that you all enjoy both of them. This is really becoming my absolute favorite!!!

Busy Times

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. I am really busy with PR models. I'm working on the new RL25 model which should be unveiled on April 12th. She is very beautiful and I think Laura's best!!!!!! I have also been working on some projects of my own. I'm doing PR's Moon Fairy Spirit for myself on SW's Midnight Fantasy Reflections and Mira's Stargazer on SW's Mytical Mountain Reflections.
























I've also been busy over at my Mom's house. We have gotten the two back bedrooms all cleaned out and ready to be painted for the girls. It was such a chore just getting them cleaned out. My father was such a pack rat. And the junk that we threw out was just amazing. We still have one more room to get all cleaned out and I am not looking forward to it. It is piled all the way up to the ceiling with boxes. I hope that it's easy to get through as this will be our bedroom until we put on an addition to the house. But we have 2 more months to get it all ready for us to move in with my mom.

The girls only have 2 more months of school. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. It seems like yesterday that they just started. My oldest will be going to 4th grade. And my youngest will be going to 1st grade. They are just growing up too fast for me. The next thing I know they will be graduating high school and then get married. OMG!!!!!!
