Unimaginative title or just migrained out....

Well here I am! I find myself with some alone time while MIL and her BF are down on the Strip seeing a show! I did have a new start but not the one I thought...one that was calling my name loudly and was already kitted up! It is Ocean's Daughter by ?!Who Knew?! Here is the model picture and hopefully soon I will have a picture of my wip soon...not enough done to post just yet...I know I'm teasing but hang on I do have pictures to show !

Here is Cinderella Sampler wip picture and Fairy Moon . I did finish my LHN Schoolgirl Lessons And I started another LHN but at the moment the name escapes me. And I brought home Cinderella from my LNS... Stitcher's Paradise and hung her over our bed Not the greatest of pics ...but I was going to hang it elsewhere in the room and asked DH what he thought and where it should go and his reaction was perfect.. "it's the most beautiful piece you've done so it goes over the bed!!!!" Yes he's a keeper!!!!

I am going into the 3rd day with this migraine not really a migraine but an icepick type headache called "chronic paroxysmal hemicrania" I have been living on indocin which is the only treatment and it goes away but comes back and taunts me....right now it's gone and I plan to take full advantage of the painfree state! I am going to get a cup of tea before MIL/BF call to be picked up on the Strip....about a 30 minute ride...I may just go in my pj's.....I can see the conversation now..."in your pj's'" but I wasn't planning to get out of the car".....LOL! I am enjoying their visit now that the adjustment week is over!!! I do love her and she treats me so wonderfully! There is dinner every night...I think I've cooked once in the past 2 weeks! She is a kind gentle woman who is a joy and it is my honor to be part of her family and she raised an exceptional son!!!!!

Okay I'm off to get my cup of tea.....

ETA...Dh just called and he's going to bring MIL/BF home so I get to have my tea and stitch....a keeper for sure!!!!!

I am grateful for quiet nights and finally being painfree.....

Hello

I am still here! Stitching lots and contemplating a new start! I can hear you all muttering so what else is new but it's so me!!!!! So stay tuned in the meanwhile my MIL is here visiting for 6 weeks so I'll post when I can probably at night. I am still keeping up with reading your blogs also at night. I have to keep this short since the pool beckons and then it's out to dinner tonight ........ I need to remember who's blog I saw my next new start on so more on that next post along with a picture.

I am grateful for family.................

Happy Thanksgiving

I have been meaning to sit down and write for days now! I've been working the past few days actually 4 out of 5 days all 12 hours and have been just plain tired. My MIL is visiting and I do love her so that is fun. And her BF loves to cook so I come home to a cooked meal at the end of the day....I'm not complaining although it does sound like I am ...now that I re-read that last line. I so much more enjoy having my MIL rather than my mother. But that's another whole story...... She encourages my stitching and I did get to go to SP stitching group this morning ! I find that stitching group is so very important to my week!

I did have another start on sunday....but with a reason! I started Daisy by Nora Corbett for my niece who is visiting in January and with any luck I will have it done and framed by then! Here is a picture of the chart I am doing her on a Silkweaver solo that I picked up recently..a pale blue with gold. As soon as I have some progress to show I will post a picture. I do love working on these pixies.

I want to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!!!!!! May we all be thankful for the joy in our lives!!!!!!

I am thankful for my wednesday stitching group......

It's thursday

Not a very original title but so it is... I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who commented with good wishes for my mom....you know who you are! Well I've had two Pilates classes and I love love love it!!!! I was a little hesitant and not sure what to expect at first. But the instructor is amazing and as I've said the studio is new and the equipment is new as well! I have signed up for more classes.....the month of february twice a week! I already feel more energy and not as sore as I thought I would be after be sedentary for a few years. I am thoroughly enjoying it. It seems to be a different workout each time. The class sizes are no more than 3 to 5 so it really is individualized with one on one. And after my session today I used a "core trainer" well let's just say it is a machine that I'll be using again!!! I highly recommend Pilates!!!!!

I spent the morning making pasta sauce with meatballs and sausage for Superbowl sunday at a friends house. A bit much but she's a good friend and it'll be fun. I'm also going to make my from scratch brownies that morning. I'm making myself hungry.....I will have to sample some sauce for dinner. My dear MIL taught me step by step when she visited a while back. And now hubby can't tell the difference (and neither could his uncle (her brother)) from my MIL's sauce. I take that as a high compliment!!! Then it's stitching time since hubby is working tonight. I'm off to shower and dinner.

P.S. I managed to add pictures of my current projects to my sidebar! I'm not quite sure exactly how I did it...I started out with just a list and didn't like the look of it. So I fooled around a little and the pictures are the end result.....and each picture is clickable and will enlarge. Too cool !!!!!

I am thankful for discovering Pilates and new muscles that have been hiding.....
