I have been MIA for sometime now. But, I back and going to try to keep up with posting:)

Seeing Red

Red work became popular in the 1870's. The term came from the embroidery floss used know as Turkey Red. It was popular among common folk as the cotton fabric and floss was far less expensive than silk. The basic outline stitch is used. Easy and fun. And who says you have to use red. Try whatever color you like..............

Where Have the Years Gone?

Today is daughters graduation from high school. It only seems like yesterday she was starting kindergarten. We were driving her to Girl Scout camp, watching gymnastic class and volleyball practice. Working on school projects. Where does the time go.....
Now, she will be leaving for college the end of June.
We are so very proud of this girl. She is very headstrong and knows what she wants in life. She is funny,sensitive and caring. She is ready for the world. Am I ready? I have done all I can. It is her time to shine. Love you bug. You have grown into a beautiful young women

Passing Days

Lately my days have been in stitches.

My Life in Stitches

The problem with selling a house you live in day to day is you have to keep it clean and ready to show at all times. But I'm going crazy not being able to do any art. I decided I would do some embroidery. That way I could keep it contained and sweep it into a basket at a moments notice.
Because I feel my life is in limbo right now I wanted to do quick easy pieces.

Easter Wishes

I have been so busy trying to get this darn house on the market. We have done things that should have been done years ago. Today they installed the new shower doors. I don't even want to use the shower cause I don't want them to get all water spotted. New carpet has been put down in 3 of the bedrooms. I'm almost there. Spent the weekend in Colorado. Drove up with hubby on Friday and flew back yesterday. He started his new job today.
But, the main reason I have been away is I lost my very dear and close friend,Melissa. She had a brain aneurysm followed by a massive stroke. I miss her dearly and can not believe she is gone. She was only 45. So young. My heart is so empty.
Between everything that has been going on and now this. I'm ready for 2010 to be over and it is only March. UGH!!!!!!!
