The boys are out

Greetings!  How was your weekend?  I'm hoping that these coming winter months fly by as fast as October and November have.  Are you finishing or just starting decorating?  I brought everything down, have it all over the place, and am starting to put more than half of it back.  I'm glad I used the safety pin backs to hold the hangers on the stitched Santas because I think they may be in a bowl and not hung this year.  Do you like bowl displays?  I have mixed feelings because the majority of the stitchery is covered by another piece.  I don't know.  This Christmas I'm just not in a displaying mood.  Is it because it's too much work the older I get or because my style continues evolving to simple and sparse?  Then I browse Pinterest and PictureTrail and totally love the primitive homes that have a LOT on display yet it's simple!  It's a talent and not as easy to achieve as it appears.

 

 

Carole is going back to the doc Monday, not much better after starting four prescriptions, one of which I thought was kind of dangerous.  Never heard of the "pearls" before but they numb your lungs to prevent coughing.  I'm concerned that the vicious cough could move or loosen the pacemaker leads which she is completely dependant on.  Probably not, but we're going on two weeks of coughing so hard she chokes.  It's bronchitis and the bug that is traveling the valley which takes weeks to recover.  Her son Chris was there when I took food today and he is .... yep .....sick. 

 

Hope to make the sweet cheese pierogis and stuffed cabbage this week.  I don't think we have enough room in the freezer, the big fresh bird is still in there.  I knew we should have planned on spaghetti.

 

Have a great week! 

 

Thanks for visiting.

Starting.....

Little trees, one by one.  Wondering if two larger trees are better than lots of little ones.  But after a few months of reduced hot flashes (FINALLY!) I'm back to flames and as usual, change my mind with each one.

What day is it now?

Thank you for the purchases.  I plan on having some different ones and hopefully a few journals soon.  Still checking the store for stock but no luck as of yet.  I am still filling and packing and shipping and today, Thursday, I only have three left to do.  I was surprised at the amount of time it took to box and pack! 

 Today I'm taking Carole to the doctor after fighting about it for days, and I have a feeling it will end with a hospital admission.  Her cough is so ugly and scary and not one bit better.  After the appointment, I'm sure she will need x-rays and tests.  Our diagnostic center is a ridiculous waste of space with handicapped parking way too far away.  They put money into glass ceilings, enormous interior (and empty) space, and large circular drive, with no concern for the sick people coming for tests.  The sides of this building are where you park, and then walk all the way around to the only entrance directly in front.  She can't do it, completely out of breath.

Bud is wondering why the decorating isn't done.  Wait till he finds out the rocker and grapevine tree will be relocated to the back deck.  I love seeing decorated houses and lots of lights, but end up with as little as possible on my own.

 

I have been so busy with the boxes that I haven't stitched in a while.  The good thing is, I think this break helped my slump because I can't wait to finish decorating and sit down with the needle.

 

To those affected by the recent tragedy, I am so sorry.  Thank goodness they found all the explosive devices and bombs, can't imagine what they were planning after this.  This information was not broadcast by the media I was watching.  I guess it's time to change sources.

 

Have a great day everyone.

Thanks for visiting.

Information listed

Hello people.  I just listed all the boxes, prices, and sizes on the Sampler box page HERE.

 

SALE STARTS AT 8PM EST TONIGHT (11/30) AND EMAILS BEFORE THEN WILL NOT BE COUNTED. 

Because of the limited quantity, I decided to forgo the Paypal cart and take orders as received.  If there is something you order and it is gone, I can see what it is and let you know if I can do it in the next batch.  I wouldn't know that with the Paypal cart.  Any questions or errors that you see, please notify me before the sale.  Thanks!!!

Is this really Sunday?

I'm sorry.  I am a day off as usual.  It's the newspaper's fault.  I can tell what day it is by what supplements are included and they have been loaded with the same everyday.  But it is Sunday isn't it?  I will be posting photos of the boxes ready throughout today and tomorrow night (Monday) at 8pm the sale will be open.  I will post beforehand.  There will be another batch later in the week after I talk to Staples.  Again.  This HP Officejet Pro is way off on color.  I use my photos, they print yellow/green cast and way too dark.  I scan, it's much too light and washed out.  I copy, dark and bluish.  I'm taking some labels into the store to print on the floor model and if they are better, I am asking to switch out the machines.  I've had so much trouble and wasted hours and hours trying to lighten them.  So what's good will be tomorrow.  No other boxes were available at the shop but I am keeping a few unfinished for any special requests. 

 

My sister is still very sick and we've been running food and soup over plus once again, I am running around for her grandkids' and great grandkids' Christmas gifts.  When you don't have a lot of money, you appreciate and must participate in these weekend offers and I got almost all that she wanted.

 

I haven't been browsing many blogs or Facebook these past two weeks but happened to spot a decorated door on a brief browse of Pinterest,  Couldn't help myself, had to copy it.  Of course my neighbors were laughing and shouting "it's Christmas - not the 4th of July".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It may stay, it may go. 

Well, I have work to do so I'll see 'ya tomorrow.  And what day would that be?  Monday?  I'll make a note and pin it to my sweatshirt.
