Long time no post

Hello. It's been a while since I've posted. I've been so busy!

I don't have any stitching or beading finishes or progress to show, but I do have some stash to show!

We had a stitch-in last weekend and stopped at an LNS and here are my purchases.


Blue Ribbon Designs Peppermint Twist and It's Cold Outside.

These were in the sale bins, 2 by Just Nan and 1 from M Designs

Sue Hillis Wine a Bit




One of the ladies last weekend brought me these hardanger books.

There was a superbowl sale at Silver Needle and I bought the thread pack for Heirloom Christmas in Victorian colors - all ready to start it soon!

I also bought a yard of white Belfast (right) and placed an order at Nordic Needle recently too, and on the left is a yard of white Etamin, 32 ct., 100% cotton. I've never used this before, but it looks and feels really nice!

Kody does this a lot.


Maybe I should have named him Dizzy :-)

I'm working on Angel of Dreams by Hanky Panky Designs and it's coming along, finally. I hope to have her finished in the next couple weeks.

That's all for now!

Ripit, ripit....

...ripit, ripit.....the frogs are visiting me. I left an afghan I'm working on too near Kody's crate and he got a hold of it. So, I'm ripping more than half of it out to repair the damage done. Needless to say, this won't be done by Christmas now. I've spent the last 2 hours frogging, and I'm just now getting to the spot where the damage is.

Guess I'll learn to put my work up when I'm done with it..........

Happy Holidays!

Terri

Well.....

.. I have nothing much to talk about or to share. Here is a picture of Kody and Allie relaxing on the couch the other day.

I did do some Christmas shopping tonight, but I'm not done yet. I hope to get the rest tomorrow after work.

Happy Holidays!

A little beading and a birthday

I've been down with either a stomach bug or my usual stomach troubles. Doing better, but still have a ways to go.

My "baby" turned 24 today. Here he is with Kody and Allie.

He's been sick for a few days too, but doing better. Look at their eyes, lol!
Here's a picture of Gabe with Allie. She was on him like glue. She really loves him!

She is so good with him!
I did do a little beading. This is one of the rose cabochons my mom gave me for my birthday.

A closer picture.


I'm not sure how I'm going to "finish" it. I've ordered some crystals and pearls. Maybe a spiral necklace and some fringe? And I don't know if I'm going to use these glass leaves or not. Suggestions anyone? I'm always open for other ideas!

I haven't done a post a day, but for me, this is pretty good!

Eskie smiles,

Krazy Kody!

This is where he's supposed to be when I get home from work, as you will remember from an earlier post.

This is where he was when I got home - at the opposite end of the hallway in the dining room!

I wish I had a camcorder to see how he does this!

Miscellaneous pictures

I don't have anything really interesting to post today, so here are some pictures I may not have shared yet.


Allie and Kody sleeping on the couch

I posted a picture of the new chair a while back and didn't realize how bad that corner looked, so this is after I cleaned it up and it's now my display area. The basket is full of biscornu and the vase has beaded flowers in it.


A close up of the window to the kitchen. The top right says "Life is precious, make it count."

A close up of Kody clowning for the camera

Jasper was over a few nights ago and I tried to capture a picture of how his hair was standing up all over. He is just so cute and getting so big! He will be 2 in June.

That's all for now!

Little stinker!

Normally, when I come home and look down the hallway to my bedroom, I can see Kody's crate and him peeking out of it.

Where is it/he?

He has learned how to move or bounce his crate across the room and this is where it was when I got home today.


See the afghan in the top right corner? That was pulled into his crate. I'm just glad he got that and not my grandmother's quilt! The little stinker..........

Eskie smiles,

Silly dogs!

I've been.....

...on a crochet kick lately! I just finished this afghan for my bed. I used Red Heart Light Raspberry, light sage, and cream yarn. I really like the way iti turned out.


And I think I'm going to call Kody "Houdini"! He has gotten out of his crate 3 times this last week while I was at work. I think I've finally gotten it fixed where he can't get out. This next pic was taken a night or two ago after they had finished playing.


Kody on the left, and Allie on the right.

That's all for now!

Eskie smiles,

Meet Kody!

The newest addition to my little household - Kody. He is a toy American Eskimo


All tuckered out from playing with Allie


Allie took a few days to accept Kody, but they are doing great together now! I'm sure there will still be some adjustments, but we'll make it!

I've been really sick this past week - figures, it was my vacation. But I'm finally on the mend and will head back to work on Tuesday. Needless to say, I didn't get much done this week. I had the stomach flu and I think this was the sickest I have EVER been. I hope no one else catches it!

That's all for now!
