Gary Glitter

OK, what is wrong with this picture. A few years ago Gary Glitter was put in prison in the UK for 54 counts of child pornography, from what I hear pretty explicit stuff. How long did he stay in jail?? 4 months. That's it!! And now he is wanted in Vietnam for messing around with underage girls. Hello. That's what happens when you only lock him up for 4 months. Should have been at least a year per count.. so that's 54 years. Sorry.. just had to get that off my chest. Couldn't believe it when I read that the other day!

Progress on "Christ in Gethsemane" as of 11-14-05

ebay fun

Ever go to the feedback of someone who won one of your items, and see what else they have won in the past? It can be quite intersting.

American Princess

Did anyone watch this? I confess when I saw the commercials I thought it looked rather ridiculous. But dh was watching one of the episodes on the marathon WE was having and I got hooked, I'm glad I could watch them all at once! I liked both of the last two contestants, but Michelle was my favorite and she won. :-) I'm excited for her! Wonder if she and her family get to move to England and she gets to be an actual princess or what.. hope we find out!

Saturday night

Well I don't know if I have enough to say to fill up two blogs but I like messing around with the settings on this one so I'll keep it, if anything just for stitching updates and a random thought here and there. I like Yahoo 360 cause I can limit who reads it but there's not the fun templates and fun stuff you can add, at least not yet. I like the burgundy in this template, thought it was kind of fall- ish. I love fall. I hope the temps cool down soon so it feels like fall!

Finished this Friday for my co-worker/friend Jean for her birthday. I can't wait to give it to her Monday! 

decided to keep this one too..

Not sure what I'll post about yet.. or if anyone's reading.. drop me a comment if you want me to keep it up..

new blog!

I have created a new blog elsewhere that has a little more privacy. Email me if you want to see it! If you know me than you have my email address, no need to post it here! Thanks!

Uneventful weekend

Stayed around the house mostly,but was lazy with my stitching! Didn't get much done. I worked on the "surprise" I'm working on, and a bit on Christ in Gethsemane. I love working on that one, but it is frustrating cause even when I work on it for a while I feel like no one will be able to tell yet! Maybe after I work on it this week I will post a pic.
We watched a funny British horror movie over the weekend, "Shaun of the Dead." Kind of gross in parts, but funny!!
We are anxiously awaiting David to roll over.. he keeps looking like he's going to but then doesn't.. maybe soon.. he is "talking" up a storm tho, always cooing and making noises! It's adorable!
Oh well.. not much going on otherwise.. gonna go have some ice cream.

Here's our little bud laughing! Taken today- 7-24-05 

Lizzie Kate Strawberry Scissors case- finished 7-12-05 :-) 

quick post

Was lazy most of the day yesterday, then a friend brought her kids over for us to watch for a couple of hours. They were really good and had a good time, in fact the older one stayed the night so Hanna had her first sleepover. I don't feel old enough to have a child that wants to have friends spend the night. lol

David is doing great. He is such a smiley baby I just love it.

Stitch-wise, haven't gotten as much done this past week as I had hoped. Worked a little on my strawberry scissors case and a little on the surprise I am working on.. hopefully I will get more done today but I don't know.. am getting lazy about the laundry again and it's piling up. Sigh.... also have dishes to do.. will try to knock those out early in the day.
Well better get going, have to feed the baby and get ready for church!

Catching up

I keep meaning to get on here and just haven't gotten around to it..

First Happy 4th to all my friends here in the USA! No big plans for us today, just cooking on the grill and staying around the house. Don't want to get on the road unless absolutely necessary for fear of those who have had one too many.
David is sleeping through the night for the most part- he started on the 30th of June. He woke up last night but he is sleeping thru more nights than not. He is starting to grab toys and things, it's so neat to watch!
I'm making some progress on my stitching, trying to work on things now to get them finished, so I don't feel so guilty about starting something new! I may try to finish my L*K strawberry scissors case today, it was fast becoming a UFO and have been actively working on it again. I've also been working on a secret project to surprise a friend of mine.
As for reading, I've been reading the Monica Ferris books based around a fictional needlework shop called "Crewel World". When I am done with these I am going to read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Generally I don't like to read books before I see the movie, but they have done so well with the Harry Potter movies I don't think I need to worry in this case.
Well guess I better go.. laundry calls and stitching too!

another finish! from the UK Cross Stitcher 

What to do...

I am running out of room on my webshots page! I had to delete a photo to add one today.. but am to cheap right now to become a paying member. hmmmm
On the up side I finally finished something! My Oct. flip-it! I'm hoping to finish my ornament/Christmas motif tonight. All I have is the backstitching. I have to go to bed early tonight tho cause I have a class in the morning, an hour away so I am going to have to get up EARLY cause registration starts at 8 am. UGH.
My in-laws visited this past week- we had a good time and were sorry to see them go. I had to work while they were here but took Wednesday off and we all went to the beach. It was fun and we ate some good seafood. Well enough blabbering for now, need to go catch up on some email!

October flip it finally finished on June 19, 2005! Yippee! 

Finally a moment to blog

Good things yesterday!! The baby slept "late" so I got ready for work and ate breakfast and all before he woke up. Bonus! He is pretty much sleeping thru the night now except for waking once to eat.. but that's no biggie compared to staying up most of the night/morning! Oh what else happened yesterday... I know there was something else..oh well.
Today was pretty good too.. not too too busy at work,kids have been pretty good tonight. David stayed awake and "talked" cooed at me while I made dinner. It is so cute. Had a chance to stitch already today and am hoping to stitch some more tonight after the kids are sleeping. Hoping to watch The Two Towers too, for a bit, will probably not stay awake for all of it!
