Autumn wip by The Stitcherhood

Welcome September... I have missed you

I love the month of September for many reasons. My 22nd Anniversary is September 17th.  I love the changing colors on the trees and cooler weather as well. I am on a message board and we are beginning a new pattern as a stitch a long. I am doing  the Autumn. freebie by The Stitcherhood.  I will start that one later today or tomorrow. Currently I am stitching on Doing Right is Never Wrong and Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.  Thanks for reading my blog. Hope you have a blessed week.Kimberly

A Finish, A finish ,A finish, I finally have a finish.

Going to my friend Jennifer's today

I plan to finish up "Be Strong " today and then to start 2 new ones. Isn't that the way it is supposed to work?You finish one and that  frees up the guilt to start 2 new ones.lol. I got Miss Peepers and Simplicity by LHN that I want to start as well as one by Bent Creek it is called"Let your light shine" it is a quaker type piece. Looking forward to all 3. I also have that darn Eagle's view to stitch for my hubby. I want to have ti done by April for his big 45th Birthday.  I guess I better get to stitching faster then , huh?lol. Have a great day and happy stitching to you. Thanks for visiting my seemingly boring blog.God Bless you and yours,Kimberly

What I am up to

I started reading a book titled Leaving by Karen Kingsbury. I have had the book for 6 months or  more on my Nook and just never took the time to start reading it. I have so many others on there that I want to read. Anyway, I started it yesterday and I am finding it hard to put it down.  I plan on doing some reading this morning and then stitching from 11:30 a.m. till 1:00 pm today. I have to work this afternoon from 2:00 Pm till 9:00 today.  I hope all m y readers are doing well. Thanks for reading my blog,Kimberly

My ort jar

I never took pictures of this cute little jar so I decided to today. Here it is.

In the mood to stitch today

I didn't get much sleep at all last night so I am surprised I have energy and eye sight to stitch today but I am going to do just that.lol. I am going to work on Be Strong by My Big Toe Designs today.  I hope you have a blessed one,Kmberly

I had a great time at church today. Another awesome sermon today. I then came home and had lunch and stitched alot. I wound lots of floss too,which was a pain in the booty. But at least it is done for now. I have a new wip picture to show you of Eagle's view. Here it is.Thanks for looking and have a blessed night/day.Kimberly

Today I shall do some charity stitching me thinks

I just joined a stitching group for Sandy Hook. Stumbled upon it actually. I realized they are still in need of squares for quilts. I found some cute freebies to stitch on there, so I shall start one today. I will post a picture later today. I am off to get ready for church now, but will be on again later. Have a blessed day everyone.
Kimberly

Best of intentions

I had intended on stitching all day today but that wasn't possible. I had too much to do around the house. I vacuumed,mowed,washed clothes and dishes etc. I managed to stitch 60 x's tonight though. Not much to show , so won't bother uploading a picture. Tomorrow is Sunday so after church tomorrow, I will stitch till bedtime  without guilt.GUARANTEED.   I hope everyone has a blessed night and a wonderful Sunday tomorrow. Good night.

Better pic of wip of Eagles View by Cross Stitch Wonders

Never got any stitching time in yesterday and this is why

I made the mistake of looking for some lost leaflets and I made a huge mess in my hobby room. I straightened it all up and this is what it looks like in my closet now. I am quite pleased. I will be able to find things better now. Thanks for looking,Kimberly

Good Morning

I had such  a relaxing day yesterday. I stitched half the day and then went fishing with my man. I caught 9 small bluegill.  When we got home I watched a horrible movie called Evil Dead.yucky`!!!!
I plan on stitching more today on the Eagles View . I really want to stitch more of the mountain and I want to finish up page 1. There are 6 pages in all.  Seems like a lot, but I am making this for my hubby , so it will be worth it.  I have so many more kits on my wish list to purchase and stitch. I know that when I finish this one for him, I will be free to buy all I want.heheheheh.  I will put up a new wip picture this evening. I hope you have a blessed day. Kimberly

Started some stitching on the mountain today. Starting to look good

Can't wait to start stitching the mountain on this picture

I pulled out my project that I am making for my husband. It is called Eagle's View. I can't wait to start on the mountain and do the grassy part below. The colors are going to look amazing.  Thanks for looking at my blog and putting up with the mundane stitching of mine,Kimberly

  

A wee bit more on "Be Strong" by My Big Toe Designs

On vacation this week.

I am off work this week. I have been stitching on "Happiness is having friends ".This is a Dimensions kit. This is what I have done so far. I am about to go stitch on something else for a while. Just not sure what yet. I am getting bored of this one for now.
 

Happiness is Having Friends wip picture

I am looking forward to spending time with my son Matthew before he goes off to college and spending time with my daughter before she starts high school . I am starting to feel very old.lol.  Thanks for looking at my blog,Kimberly

  

updated Be Strong by My Big Toe and an Angel Ornament

I started this little angel yesterday

I think I paid $2.00 for this kit last year at Christmas time.  I think i will stitch several in different colors and give them away as ornaments or just little pictures framed to people needing a little pick me up. I hope to finish her up tomorrow while stitching at a friend's house. Thanks for looking,Kimberly

While playing in my stash room today

I went looking for a book of "All of Yesterdays" book.  I am looking for some cute patterns to do for charity quilts. I was searching high and low for that darn book and I never did find it. I did however find some old ufo's in my closet and I pulled them out to work on. Here is one of them. Mad blue bird. I love him and I hope i finish him someday soon. Thanks for looking.

Getting that new start feeling

I am wanting to start something new.lol. I am trying really really hard to finish "be strong" but I want to play in my Little House Needleworks patterns too.lol. I will try try and try some more to behave. I also have a  kit called"Happiness is having friends" and I want to get back  to it also. There are too many options, it is starting to make me misbehave.

Whoa what a crazy and awful weekend I had

On Saturday evening. I was on my way to Walmart with my daughter. I was making a left turn on a green light(arrow for me) and a man ran a red light and plowed in to my vehicle.  I have extensive damage to my car. I am just so thankful my daughter and I are safe. If I had been driving slower, he would have hit my door and possibly killed me.God definitely had his angels surrounding me on Saturday night. I don't yet know if my vehicle can be fixed or if it will be considered a total loss. I will let you know when I know more. Take care and never take a life lightly. We never know when it will happen.
Here is a picture. My phone camera is crappy, so sorry it isn't the best picture ever.
 

Stitching this morning

I am working on  Be Strong by My Big Toe Designs this morning and I will post my progress before I go off to work today. Have a blessed day everybody and be a blessing to someone who needs it.Kimberly

So Happy

I am no longer working 2 jobs. I am only working at an assisted living facility for seniors now.  I will have more time for blogging and stitching in the mornings before work.  For the past 7 years I have been working 2 jobs. I had been working Mon-thru Fri as a teacher to toddlers and every other weekend at an assisted living facility. I felt God telling me that it was time to quit the rat race of working 2 jobs and juggling a family, hobbies,church etc.  I was always so worn out that I never had the energy for the things I enjoyed anymore.  I prayed about it and waited to see what happens. I am now working Monday thru Friday at Stones River Manor Assisted living from 2pm till 9 pm and off weekends and no longer working with the children. I feel so much better now. I feel like my brain is less scattered and I can enjoy life again. yay.  So, be on  the look out for more blogging from me in the future. I am off to stitch now and will update soon. Take care and God bless you.  Thanks so much for visiting my blog.  Kimberly

Fun at stitch night at the Stitching Post in Nashville

We made these cute little oragami boxes. I want to make a bunch of them and have them on hand for small gifts.  Stores are always having scrap booking paper on sale and that is what is needed to make these.  I stitched a small amount at stitch night. I worked on a My Big Toe of course. It is the one with the verse "Be strong and courageous"  I got the inner border completed and now I am working on the floral part around the outside of the inner square. I am making this for my son Matthew. He is going to Africa on May 30th and won't be back till July 13th and I thought it would be a good reminder for him.  Thanks for coming by my blog. Sorry I have been a bad blogger lately. Just so much going on these days between work,school,church and family.  Enjoy your day,Kimberly

I want to work on my "Eagles View" tonight. I just wasn't in the mood to stitch last night. I couldn't focus attention on anything.  I hate when that happens.

I love the way it is shaping up. Have a great day everyone and thanks for visiting my blog. Love,Kimberly

I hope you like her.She will sit in my cross stitch room on my book shelf.
