I finished this a few minutes ago and just love it. I bought this in 1999 at my first PALS retreat. I finally pulled it out this year. My plan is to frame it.

SATURDAY:
Went to the Farmers Market and this Saturday is the last one til next Summer :-(
Then Scott and I went to my bookcross meeting. Karen and her husband were the only ones there. I called my dad, to see if my mom was coming. She was with a friend. My dad was upset though as their beloved dog was hit and killed. Both of my parents are upset but my dad is worse. He took her everywheres with him and she helps him with his depression. Even helped him when he was recuperating from a couple of surgeries. She was around 5 years old. he is blaming himself as he knew she goes in the road, and he didn't tie her up. I will miss her as well.

After the meeting Scott and I went to Home Depot to get the 2 shelves that I wanted for my craft room. Bins were set up on the shelves.
Dinner time we went my Scott's parents to make sure they took their meds and to eat dinner.
Came home and stitched all night while Scott slept.

SUNDAY:
I hate grocery shopping by myself. Justin and Scott were working and Dylan, as you know, is in PA.
Got my Cross stitch projects in the bins then sat down and stitched while watching TV.

Watched:
Supernatural 10/1
The Vampire Diaries 10/7
Nikita 10/7
Smallville 10/8
Desperate Housewives

Tomorrow I plan on putting some of my Halloween Decorations out. Will start stitching a new Halloween piece with Pumpkins, for the Pumpkin challenge with Becky SC.

Friday SAT

Tonight was Friday SAT and I stitched quite a bit on Cat-O-Lantern. Loving this piece and hope to finish it this weekend.
This week I also finished my first Zentagle. It was a lot of fun and took me back to my teenage years.

Tonight's TV viewing:
General Hospital - 10/7 , 10/8

Tomorrow will be a busy day. I have my bookcross meeting at Lovin' Cup and Scott is going with me so we can get him a new cell phone. The volume is going in his. Then I can buy 2 shelves and the brackets. Hoping to get some magazine holders as well.

Dylan txt me tonight and he is doing well in UTI. They have what is called phases every 3 weeks and they graduate every 3 weeks. Well last Friday he was done with his first phase and has a GPA of 4.0, woohoo! I am so proud of him.

Halloween Sunday SAL

I had a really good day. Did some laundry and cleaned the kitchen. Got a lot stitched on Cat-O-Lantern while listening to Hold Tight by Harlan Coben. Awesome book! Than watched Desperate Housewives.
Sunday is Halloween SAL with my Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. Anyone out there in blog land want to join me on Sundays? This is getting put away til Friday. It is HAED freebie SAL through Thursday so I will be pulling out HAED SK Sunny.


Thank you to everyone who has been reading my blog and leaving comments, I appreciate it all.

Halloween Sunday

I cleaned up the rest of the craft room. Added a few things in there, to get out of the way from where they were. Spent some time on the computer looking up more Zentangle. Then sat and stitched on Cat-O-Lantern. Love this piece.

I watched a few movies as well:
17 Again - really good
Land of the Lost- sucked
The 19th Wife- Lifetime Movie and really good

Tomorrow will be back to stitching on the RR.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate them

Night and {{{hugs}}}

Halloween Sunday

I finally picked up my needle after 2 weeks of no stitching. Felt pretty good.
Scott has started working on my craft room. Taking out the closet and we are going to put shelves up.

Friday night we visited Scott's mom and the family all got together to eat in the cafeteria. She is now in a nursing home for rehab. She can walk with a walker and needs to get her strength back. Thanks for the prayers. I appreciate them
Saturday morning I went to the Farmer's Market and bought a bunch of veggies and fruit. Didn't really do anything else. While doing laundry and cleaning around the house I finished listening to Playing For Pizza by John Grisham. The next Audiobook is The Shack by William P. Young.

So today I finished the laundry and pulled out Cat-O-Lantern. I got quite a bit done on the pumpkin. Really love stitching on this piece.
While I stitched I watched Tv:
General Hospital - 9/9 , 9/10
The Vampire Diaries
Nikita - new CW show
True Blood Finale

SAL weekend

I stitched a lot this weekend. Scott mentioned visiting his parents yesterday but we never did. I don't know why he changed his mind. So we were home all day and so I stitched. it was a SAT with OOE BB and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I got quite a bit done. The TV was one but I never watched a whole movie.I did manage to get more done on HAED SK Sunny.

Today I woke up to rain. It was cool out as well, which I enjoyed. So after getting things done online I pulled out Springberry Kreek Cat-O-Lantern. Sunday is Halloween SAL with Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I got the top part of the cat done and started working on the pumpkin. I have loved this design since I bought it in 1999 and am so glad that I finally pulled it out.
Today I did watch a lot of TV. I watched General Hospital from Friday and oh the ending had me so mad.
Then I watched a few Lifetime Movies that I had DVRd:
One Hot Summer
Joy Fielding's The Other Woman
Gospel of Deceit

Tonight I watched True Blood. Only 2 episodes left for the season.

I am still doing well eating healthy and staying with Weight Watchers and eating the points. I learned to eat more of the filling foods and it does work. The Wii said that I have lost 3 lbs since Thursday morning. Not sure how accurate it is.

Halloween Sunday

Today is Halloween SAL with Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I got some more backstitching done on the left side and more stitching on the right side. I watched Life on the DVR. It was from 4/18. Then I watched a movie from LMN. It was called Ring of Deceit and was on my DVR. Also watched tonight's episode of True Blood, on HBO. Only 3 episodes left for the season.

Springberry Creek - Cat-O-Lantern
28 ct white evenweave

This weekend was busy. I forgot to scan what I did on HAED SK Sunny, on Friday night. I watched a few episodes of General Hospital and the finale of Pretty Little Liars.

Saturday I had my bookcrossing meeting but my mom was the only one who showed up. I had a mexican salad, very good and within my WW points. Then when I got home Scott and I went to the Erie County Fair. The company I work for is a sponsor plus we did work for the forage feed that was there. Because of that I got free tickets. We spent 3-4 hours walking and enjoying it all. I had my yearly Gyro, mmm and used 15 WW points and so I used some of my weekly WW point allowance. I did real well this weekend with WW.

Today Dylan and I went grocery shopping. Buying healthy sure is expensive but will be well worth it.

Halloween SAL

Today is Halloween SAL with the Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. So I pulled out Cat-O-Lantern by Springberry Kreek. This seems to stitch up quick in the hours that I work on it.

This morning I went to Wegmans and got groceries for the week. Dylan wanted to sleep in and I couldn't wake up Justin so I went by myself.
Got some things done online and played a little bit of Sims2.

While stitching I listened to a couple of chapters of Hand of Evil by J.A. Jance. Then I watched a Lifetime Movie Network and the movie was The Devil's Teardrop. I think it was based on a book by Jeffery Deaver. I am also pretty sure that I read the book a few years ago. It was a good movie.

WW:
worked out with the Wii Fit for 30 minutes. That is including the free jogging for 10 minutes , which had me sweating up a storm.

Saturday SAT and Sunday Halloween SAL

I stitched on Joan Elliott's Spring Angel, for a few hours on Saturday. This is a SAL with Only One Ewe BB and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group.

It also was a Movie day with Lifetime Movie Network. Scott and I watched:
Total Stranger
Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life
Seven Deadly Sins

Sunday was a SAL for Halloween with the Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. So I pulled out Cat-O-Lantern and got quite a bit done on it.
Before I stitched , Scott and I went to an Antique tractor and truck show.Not my kind of thing but Scott wanted to go and since he does a lot for me then I went along. We just walked around once and never stopped to really look at one. Don't know why, There also was a flea market but I didn't find anything. Came home and pulled out my stitching and watched Lifetime Move Network again.

Watched:
Living With the Enemy- saw this before
Ann Rule's To Late to Say Goodbye

I have decided to go to a Weight Watchers meeting. I have been following it for a week and doing really well with eating healthy and staying within my points. Even went out for a sub yesterday. Had a 6" roast beef on Wheat with veggies and a little oil. Normally I have it on Italian sub roll with mayo as well as oil and I usually order a whole sub. So this was a big change for me but I didn't feel that i deprived myself. So there is a meeting by me on Thursdays at 5:15. The problem is it is in the town where I work and I get out of work at 3. I don't want to go back home, after work since it is a 20 minute drive one way. Then when I go to the meeting it is on the other side of the town where I work. There is a Starbucks and another coffee shop so I just need to find out if they have free wifi. I can order a coffee or tea and spend time on the internet before going to my meeting.

Halloween SAL day

Sunday with the Stitching Sisters Yahoo group is for Halloween stitching. Last week I started Cat-O-Lantern and I finished the tail today. Working on the cat's body next.

Dylan and I went and visited with my parents before going grocery shopping.My mom has all of her Weight Watchers stuff so i picked that up. Seems simple enough.
Then Justin vacuumed the house and furniture while I went around spraying everything with a flea spray and gave the dog a bath.
Sat down with my stitching and listened to a couple of chapters from Web of Evil by J.A. Jance. Then at 9 True Blood came on.

Thank you for those who have been leaving comments. I do try to reply back to you. I am getting out of my funk and feeling a little better. I appreciate all of you.

This weekends events

FRIDAY:
Happy 22nd Anniversary to my sweet husband. Unfortunately he had to work.
I stitched for the SAT with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I stitched on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep.
I also watched General Hospital and the movie Fred Clause.
This is how much progress that I made.

SATURDAY: I stitched for a few hours on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I watched 2 movies. Speed racer , which was cute and then Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.
The SAT today was with Only One Ewe BB and stitching Sisters Yahoo group.
Scott took me out for dinner for our Anniversary. We went to a new place to us in Clarence. It is called Old Red Mill. Scott had Prime Rib and I had Surf-n-turf= Prime Rib and snow crab legs. It was excellent food and Scott said the best Prime rib he has had in a while. We will go back there again.
SUNDAY:
Dylan and I went grocery shopping then I took off with Justin and we saw a local theater group do the musical for Footloose. It was at a high school an hour away from me. Along the way there was a Quilt store so we stopped. I was looking all around and making comments to Justin. I don't know if it was the owner or just someone that worked there , but she was really nice. I told her that I didn't quilt and I was a just a cross stitcher and wanted fabric for my finishes. She said we are not just cross stitchers but we are fiber artists. I liked that and had never heard us referred as that. I told her that my husband would have a fit if I got into another craft lol. She said that he can't be to bad if he brought you to the store. LMAO!! I told her Justin was my 20 year old son and not my husband. She said no way. I do not look old enough. I told her yes, I am 45. She wouldn't believe me lol.
So we found the school with no problem and the musical was great. Justin had 2 friends in it , and that is why we went.
Came home and started a new Halloween piece for Sunday SALs with Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. This is called Cat-O-Lantern by Springberry Kreek Designs. I bought this 10 years ago during a Cross Stitch Pals retreat. I can't wait to work on it again.
I also watched Tale of Despereaux and then True Blood.
