A finish!

I had needed something simple and easy to stitch the last month or so and I finished it this past weekend. Dog Rules for People by Lizzie Kate. It is stitched on 32 ct. lambswool linen with the WDW and CC threads that came with it.


I'm not sure how I'm going to finish it. A pillow or totebag? I may frame it and give it to my youngest son and his family - they now have 7 dogs and 2 of them are pregnant!

My oldest grandson, Jack, turned 7 in March and his mom had a surprise birthday party for him this past Sunday. This is Jack hanging from his Uncle Sean's arm. So funny!

I tried to get a picture of all 4 of my grandsons at once, but they were not cooperative.

I started a new project a couple days ago and will have some progress pictures soon. The Hoosier Stitchers are having their spring retreat starting today and I'm going down for the day on Saturday. Can't wait! It's supposed to be warm that day and I'm riding with a couple others that are going down just for the day. I'm ready for a day of stitching and fun!!

Floods, rainbows, birthdays, and a finish

Hello! I live in Central Indiana and we've had storm after storm after storm the last week or more. Today, very early, we received between 3-5 inches of rain and here are the results. All pictures are clickable.

This is normally a dry area near a lake and the water was over the road at one point, I think. There were evacuations by boat at a condo/housing addition right on the other side of this. That addition has a lake in the middle of it and a creek behind it (that was spilling into this lake)


This is approaching that lake. There is a walk path somewhere along here.

This is the "creek" that spilled into the previous lake. Normally, the first set of legs under the bridge you can walk to and not get wet.

This is one of the retention ponds in my apartment complex. Normally you can see a wide row of large white rocks.

Here's a double rainbow after a storm last week.

And that's it for the storm/flood pictures!

My youngest grandson, Jasper, turns 1 on the 24th and we had a party for him this last Saturday.

The birthday boy eating cake.

My oldest grandson, Jack, with a "faux" mohawk. Isn't that a gorgeous smile of his? The other boy is a friend but for the life of me, I can't remember his name!

Jasper's cake. It was yummy!

And my "finish". I posted about finishing the stitching last week, and I finally got it made into a scissor fob. I really like the way it turned out.


I thought I had another stitching finish, but I can't think of what it was. Oh well, maybe by this weekend, I'll have a finish to share!

It was also both of my daughters-in-laws' birthdays this month (Anna and Robyn) but I didn't get any pictures of them. They enjoyed the Bath and Body Works gift cards I got them.

Let's hope we have no more rain. There is a dam/levee upstream from us that is "leaking" and if we get more heavy rain, it may just give out completely. Yikes!

I hope you all have a great, dry week!

Easter Sunday

Hello! I hope everyone had a great Easter! I did! No stitching or beading to show this week, but here are some pictures from today.

Connor - cake face!

Jasper trying to get out of his car seat - the little stinker!

Jack drinking some juice.

And the whole crew - well, are that were here today. L-R Anna holding Jasper, Sean holding Connor, and Tom holding Jack. Jack and Jasper are Tom's sons and Connor is Sean and Anna's son. Handsome bunch, aren't they? Gabriel (step-grandson) was at his dad's this weekend and Robyn (Tom's SO) was at work. Andrea (Jack's mom) was there, but I didn't get a picture before she left.

That's it for this week. This time next week, I will be returning from a retreat (YAY!) that I leave on Thursday for. It's with the Hoosier Stitchers and I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!

Have a great week!
