September Stitch From Stash


Month: September
Spent: $12.75
Earned:  $0.00
Budget:  $25.00 + $39  - 12.75 = $51.25

This has not been my month!  I got sick around Labor day and I have been struggling with allergies all month.  I finally went to the doctor today and found out that I have Acute Bronchitis and Sinus issues!  I actually have to have an inhaler!  Not to mention one of my fur babies went over the rainbow bridge this month.  So I haven't really felt like stitching, I just felt like sitting in my chair relaxing.  I finished 1/2 of a page on my Faery Tale HAED project.   


I did purchase something this month.  While HAED was having their Labor Day sale, I couldn't resist this design!!!!   Not sure when I will ever get to it but really....this just screamed my name!!!!!


I bought both these magazines in July and they finally arrived this month!  So excited to get stitchy mail that doesn't count against me!!!!   I have found so many projects I want to stitch!!!



That's all for this month!  Here's hoping that October will be a better month!

RIP Jag Kitty


You know from the title this is going to be a sad post because I am crying as I type it.   My Jag kitty passed away Monday morning.  He had been sick for a while with his heart.  He took a turn for the worse on Saturday and we knew that he didn't have much time left.  We decided that we would take him to the vet Monday morning to end his suffering.  

Mark said his goodbyes to him.  We placed him in his crate, then in the passengers seat so he could see me and I could pet him.  While driving him to the vets office, I always had to keep my fingers in the crate to let him know I was there.  I have had to do that since he was a kitten.  Halfway to the vets office, Jag gave my fingers a final head butt and  then he  passed away silently in his crate.   I am so thankful he passed on his own.  Even though I was headed to the vets office to end suffering, I think that this would be harder.  

I just thought I would share a few of my favorite pictures of him with you.  At the end you can read a funny Jag story....

He was a skittish kitty...my housekeeper cleaned my house for 5 years when she asked me when did you get the yellow kitty?   I had to laugh because I said "Before the dogs...you have never seen him in 5 years????"  He was a good hider!!!
