Yeah!! It's finished!! I have finally finished my Key West Sampler!!



I got it done yesterday on my lunch break. I secluded myself in the back of the store and got it done. So.. that left me to start something new! I started a Chatelaine freebie Lady's Boudoir: Bluebell Fan. I accidently got the wrong green thread and my LNS didn't have a couple of the threads it called for, but I like how it's turning out anyways. I'll post a pic when I get a little more done. Well, I'd better get to bed... if I fall asleep right now, I'll get 6 1/2 hours. That is if no one wakes me up during the night!!!

Ugh, I have to start getting ready for work in an hour. I don't mind it so much once I'm there, it's just the anticipation of getting ready, getting the kids ready, taking them to grandma's, not being able to do all the things I want to do, etc. That gets me down. I do like getting my paychecks though! Well, not much else going on. I have definitely been bitten by the Mystery bug, I'm obsessed!! :) I want to sign up for the new christmas design and the quilt one! Argh!! I just don't have the $$ right now. Maybe if I get some Christmas money?? I added the links on the side for Chatelaine if anyone wants to get obsessed with me! Prinn I know you're already there! That's all for now!!

P.S. I did get some stitching on KWS last night. I forced myself to get more completed. Now I think I just have 6 more letters and a flower to finish! Almost done!! I'm going to take it to work with me today, maybe I can get it finished on my break!

P.P.S I found the smilies at mysmilies.com

I've been playing around with my blog today. I added a little bio and some of my favorite links. We're just hanging out around the house today. I could have sworn I just cleaned the whole house and did all the laundry. It's a complete mess again! These kids are like mini tornadoes!!

I've been playing around even more! I found Blog Skins and now I can't stop messing with this thing!!

Sunday was such a nice day, it was rainy and cool. Just a day to snuggle. Monday I had to get up early and go to work, it was good because I was teaching someone to do the schedule. They're realizing what a pain it is! :) I'm a computer nerd so I don't mind it so much. The only thing I mind is the people complaining once it's finished. Hey, get another job if you don't like your hours!! Just kidding. I really try to be fair, but sometimes it's hard. We have one girl (18) who just moved up into the front office and wants to go to the back office. She started crying yesterday when she saw two other women are training in the front office. She's so clueless. I tried to explain to her she needs to be patient. She's just young and immature and doesn't realize her time will come eventually, but she needs to grow up a little. But I can't talk because I was once just like her. I wanted just what she wanted so bad. I became a manager, have pretty much been there, done that. I decided to step down because I wanted a family (not easy working 50 hrs. as a mgr.). I had to work my way back up from a cashier. But worth it because I now have two beautiful boys. Oh well, what can you do?? One day I'll have a "real" job and will look back and laugh at all this silliness! :)

I finished my Halloween Flip-it! Here's the pic...

Now I have to finish my math. Fun, fun! Anyone know anything about logarthmic functions? I was going cross-eyed earlier trying to figure all this out. I just need to pass, and then I can take classes in a real classroom close to home. I love online classes for their convenience, but I definitely miss having a class to actually go to, and having the teacher right there to help. Off to study!

Edited to add - I got a 97% on my quiz! Woo Hoo! Too bad I couldn't do that on my midterm!! :)

Well, I didn't go to the race. If you turn to NBC right now, you'll understand why! :) It's been raining all day here. I left the kids with my mom so I could get my homework done today and I ended up sleeping in until 10 am (would've been 11 if the time hadn't changed). I don't think I've slept in that late in years. I think my body needed it. I didn't work on KWS yesterday, I ended up starting Lizzie Kate's Halloween flip-it. It's so cute! They had it stitched at my LNS and I had to have it. I thought it would get me into the Halloween spirit! I got some more threads for Mystery VI yesterday from Elegant Stitch. They are just gorgeous! Well, that's all for now! I'm going to eat some homemade bread my mom made and maybe stitch a little or do math. Hmmm... should I be good or bad?? Where's that little devil smiley when I need it?? :)

I did not stitch at all yesterday! I cleaned, cleaned, cleaned. I wouldn't let myself stop until it was done. I got the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and living room. Now I just have to finish laundry. :( I should've worked on my Algebra, but I just didn't get the chance. I'm really trying to get out of going to that race, so I can work on it then (and maybe a little stitching). I did up load a pic of my keywest sampler...



I have to work today, so maybe I can get some done on my break. Oh today is payday, yeah!! And I actually have some money leftover from last payday, it's a miracle! Ah, the joys of living paycheck to paycheck. One day, I'll look back and laugh. I just have to keep telling myself that! :)

P.S. I also uploaded my Guardian Angel WIP. Click here to view her.

I got my buttons on my Bethlehem Christmas. So now I can officially say that it's finished. I think it turned out pretty cute. I didn't work on Key West last night, I ended up working on Guardian Angel by L&L. I love the colors in this angel, and it's a lot of solid stitching, I needed a break from changing colors so much! Well, not much else going on here. Have to finish up laundry! Fun, fun! :)

It's a beautiful Autumn day here in North Georgia!



The weather has been absolutely perfect! A little warm, but I can live with that! :) I just had to capture this picture of the fall leaves and the sun setting behind it. I got quite a bit of stitching done on Key West Sampler. I'm hoping to finish it up this week. I think I might work on Sophie tonight though. I went to my LNS in Marietta today, not before closing this time! Dh says "I thought you said you weren't going back there?" I said, "I did?" All innocently. I just can't stay away, they have just about everything I could possibly need. And so much inspiration! :) I ended up getting some of the supplies for Mystery VI. I then came home and ordered some more things online. Now I just wish I would've ordered the whole kit online, it would've been so much easier. But I did support my LNS somewhat, so I feel good about that. I'm saving all my reciepts, so when I get some birthday money I can put it towards my credit card, which definitely doesn't need anymore charges!!! :) That's all for now, write more tomorrow!

mmm... this is what I had for dinner tonight Elvis Presley's Grilled Peanut butter and banana sandwich. It sounds gross, but it was yummy!! :) Oh by the way, I only had one, not 15! :)
