Back to school

Today was the official first day back to school!!! We had faculty meetings today. Tomorrow we get to work with our departments. It was so hot here today..over 101° ..the poor dogs were so hot Mark had to come home and let them in for the rest of the day! I think tomorrow I will just leave them in the house!!

On the stitching note, I have really been stitching on my Eeyore blanket. I think with my hurt finger,...this is an easier piece to stitch on. I hope to finish it soon!

Gingerbread Finish

I finished my Gingerbread house!!! I started this at Camp Stitch in July and I think it turned out GREAT!!! It was stitched on large count cloth- wither 9 or 10 count I think....The design is from Ozark Samplers. Unfortuantely I don't think she is going to release it....I think it will be with one of her clubs. I love it! I just need to get one more button..a xmas wreath to hang on the front door. I think that will look great!!!

Brigen is sick

Poor Brigen...He caught Kennel Cough while staying at the kennel while Mark and I were in KC. He sounds like he has something caught in his throat...Mark calls it smokers cough. The vet did give him a compliment while we were in his office. He said that Brigen was a very well behaved dog and he wished everyone behaved as well as he did!! Brigen is currently on antibotics and cough medicine. The cough medicine is too strong I think because he is very sleepy. I called the emergency vets office tonight and the on-call vet said it was like a human taking Benadryll...just medicine head.

I worked on Mystic Stitch last week...here is what I have finished on it so far. Not much else to say.

Debbie Draper Finish

This is a new Debbie Draper design that she designed for my LNS, The Busy Needle in Rogers, AR. She told us about this design at Camp stitch. It was stitched on 28ct linen using Ozark Samplers Floss: Lobster. The design required 2 skeins along with a charm package (optional) to finish up the design.
I wasn't sure if I could have posted this but I talked to Sara today and she said that if you do want to purchase this design the only way is to make a donation to the Diabetes fundraiser the LNS hosts every year. Here is more info on it... http://www.thebusyneedle.com/_wsn/page2.html
I am very proud of this finish!!!!

Big Finish!!

I finished my model last night!!! It looks fantastic...sorry I can't post a picture yet...but maybe someday. I did start my HAED project...of the 40 pages I have the first row going down on page 1 complete...all 970 stitches!!! Not much I know..but it is more than I started with!! LOL!!!

I started my Mystic Stitch project today. I didn't get much accomplished so far only 100 stitches....this one has alot more color changes in it. I was really tired today so I didn't stitch much.

Mom came over this evening and we went for a walk then to Sonic for an evening pickme up!!! I have to start moving things into my new room tomorrow!! YUCK!!!

Go Yankee's

Mark and I went and watched the Yankee's play this week. We drove up to Kansas City for the Royals/Yankee game. We had a fabulous time and I got a wonderful picture of Derek Jeter. What a cutie!!!!

W hung out together....went to the movies and saw Harry Potter. It was a great time together.

He has been on vactation this week so most of his time has been spent on the golf course. Which is fine by me. His dad came in town for a big golf tournament the club is hosting...so they are in that and currently not doing so well!! LOL!!
