Mother's Day Flowers and more

Hi all! Hope everyone had a great weekend. It was quiet for the most part here which is always welcome. LOL Mother's Day we took my MIL out to lunch along with my BIL/SIL. We had a great luncha and lots of it, great food. The kids were in Vegas with their dad for the weekend so it was quiet here. We have been on major puppy watch but no puppies as of yet. Major nesting going on today though, keep your fingers crossed.
Well, my oldest, Brianna, brought over flowers on Mother's Day for me, very pretty red roses in a really cool vase.

I rec'd another ornament for the HO HO HO ornament exchange i am in from Shelleen. Shelleen also sent along some goodies that are wonderful! Thanks so much Shelleen!!! I love it all!


I do have a couple "finish finishes" to share. Michele had given me a bunch of her stitching finishes to "finish" for her however i would like (trusting me with her stitching). LOL Well, i chose Peace by LHN that Melinda stitched for her in the Fair & Square exchange awhile ago. I made it into a pinkeep ornament for MIchele. I really like how it turned out myself. Also, i went through my F&S's and found a perfect one to make a pincushion out of. This is from Lynda A in one of my favorite colors, purple. I think i am going to add a bead to the middle of it though, we'll see. I used poly pellets to fill it.




I have an exchange that is en route so can't show that one as of yet. And that is about all for now.

Small Finishes for the weekend

Well this weekend brought on a nice cold and sore throat for me thanks to my niece who has had it all last week. Oh well, hopefully it will go away soon. i hate feeling blah. We did the MS Walk yesterday here in Phoenix and had alot of fun. We had 11 of us walking with some of them being my daughter's friends supporting her as well. There were a few groups that were all dressed up for teh walk, there were the Star Wars clan (storm troopers, darth vader, chewy, etc in full get up), ghostbusters in full get up, renaissance women, pirates, etc.

I do have a few little finishes from this week and weekend. I finished up a pine mountain pillow, flowers wrap. I started this one on thursday and finished friday, very quick and fun. I also finished up a freebie last week and made it into an ornament tonight. I have two finishes for today. The first is Alphabet Tree by Blue Ribbon designs (freebie), i stitched this one over one using Carries Creations in Bubble Gum. I made this into a pincushion for myself. And the other finish is a LHN christmas ornament from the JCS 2005 issue that i finished stitching up tonight. I changed this one up a bit by adding "Christmas 2008" instead of family name. I plan on stitching and ornament for each of our friends on our softball team (each family) and this is the first of the group.






I am currently working on christmas ornaments and LHN's From Sea to Shining Sea, which i LOVE.

We actually had a nice thunderstorm here in AZ (at least in Peoria, i hear other parts didn't get it). We had hail and all and my dorky dog just stood out in it loving it. LOL Since it was rainy and two of us in the house are sick i made a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup, and it was yummy.
