Needlework Before Housework …

The only place needlework comes before housework is in the dictionary!

Blog Hops Will Return Over the Summer [and some random photos]

A few people have asked why the blog hops stopped. Honestly, just life getting in the way. We’ve been so busy with work, school, soccer, so on and etcetera….

Once soccer season and school are over the blog hopping will get back to normal. I expect our next hop to be June 15th. In the meantime enjoy these photos I managed to snap of the kids (getting them to hold still long enough for a photo is seriously hard!) …

Lucas received some cool new golf stuff for his 15th birthday over the weekend (new golf bag and a new hybrid #3 club)
Lucas is 15....

Keeping Calm and Crossing My Stitches…

April has been a little bit stressful and very busy. I haven’t had as much time to stitch as I’d like, but I just keep telling myself…

Keep Calm and Cross Your Stitches

I hope you’re having a great week and I hope this made you smile just a little bit today 🙂

How I’ve Been Spending My Saturdays…

Not stitching, unfortunately. But we are having fun with the kids, so it’s all good.

We have soccer games every Saturday morning, and since two of our boys are playing (Lucas and Noah) we usually end up at the soccer fields early in the morning and stay past lunchtime.

The Pictures Are Great, But Where’s Loretta?

I know, I haven’t really posted much of anything this week. I want to say thank you for all the great notes that have landed in my inbox wondering what’s up and why there was no blog hop or chart of the week.

I suffered a bit of a carpal tunnel flare up after working on some lengthy rush files for a client in my transcription business. That of course cut down my stitching time and my blogging time quite a bit while I let my wrist recover. I figured better to just let it pass than to try to do my normal workload and just prolong the frustration and discomfort.

I did manage a few stitches thanks to my stitching stand making it easy to stitch comfortably, but not nearly as much progress as I would have liked. So I don’t have any stitching photos, tips or articles to share with you today, but I do have pictures of these pretty tulips that my husband sent me out of the blue for no particular reason…
These pretty tulips just showed up at my door. Yes, my husband is awesometastic <3 The tulips Brian sent me are even prettier today <3 Tulips are opening up :-)

Whimsical I <3 Cross Stitch Watch

Whimsical-I-Heart-Cross-Stitch-WatchI was up early this morning doing a little secret holiday shopping and I came across this watch… the face area is filled with miniature cross stitch tidbits like floss, scissors, and charts, then across the top it says “I <3 Cross Stitch.”

Totally cute! If I wore a watch this would have certainly hopped into my cart at Amazon this morning and hitched a ride to my house along with the gifts I picked up for my boys.

The good news is there’s still time to pick this whimsical cross stitch watch up with free shipping from Amazon (or add it to your wishlist there in the hopes that your special Santa will notice it and place an order in time for the holidays ;)) [Read more…]

I’m a great stitcher, but I’m a horrible cook.

When I asked of the group … [Read more…]
