A Question and A Work Weekend

Hello Everyone,
Ranae asked a question about who designed my Profile X-stitch picture. It from a set of charts by Cricket Collections , Crossed Eyed Cricket . I have been stitching on them for 2 Halloweens. And I am afraid to say they will not be finished for this Halloween.... Oh well... I have been stitching away on the New design for Brenda.
We did go get all the shelves to do our big closet. Finished all but the shoe racks tonight. I have Water NOW !!!!! Yea !!! Did not know that could make me so happy. But I guess I'm so excited because I don't have to leave and go home to get water for brush clean up or use the bathroom. That has be a pain in the a$$... But now I have flushed the toilet for about 6 times this afternoon just to watch it !!! LOL That would be the famous toilet that rode around in the back of the tahoe for about 6 weeks.
Hope to get the carpet in next and then.... yes.... you hear me....MOVE IN !!!!! I now can clean all walls and cabinets and put all those tools away. Oh Yes !!!! I will take finished pictures.. Well, it is time to get off this computer.. Have a great night.

Working On Extreme Trailer Make-Over

This week has been a busy week. Mom's last day of radiation was Tuesday. Wednesday and today, I spent over at make-over trailer working... We got the metal back splash put up. I painted all base boards for the big closet. Stained more molding to trim around windows. Finished laying tile in small bathroom. That was a big job anyway.. To make all the cuts to fit in little places.. Urghhh. We hooked up dish washer and kitchen sink tonight... Did I tell you all, we had to plumb the whole trailer.... DH's job this weekend is to hook up sewer. Great job.. LOL and then we can turn on the water !!! YEA !!!! We still have 3 rooms to put down carpet.
There is this table and four chairs that I am thinking about painting black. It is stained wood now. I thought I would paint black then ruff up a little and sand on some places where the wood would show... Then seal it with clear.. Kind of Ballard Designs Look.. I said.. I thought about it... LOL I will try it, maybe it will look good.I thought of white, but it would stick out big time painted white.
I received in the mail today, new stitching project to stitch for Brenda Gervais of With Thy Needle & Threads Designs... Can't say what it is of... But it is a design that I really like.. I may have to stitch it again for me. I have 4 designs of Brenda's right now, I need to stitch for Autumn and Halloween. They are: Gathering Acorns, Black Cat Sampler, It's A Hoot, and Fraidy Jack ( a needle punch design) Her site is here: http://www.countrystitchesonline.com Brenda also does jewelry that is great. Check her web site out.
Baby Zoe is doing great and Josh tries to give her kisses all the time.. Hard Kisses on her head.. We have to keep reminding him that she is little and to be gentle.. He right now is wanting to give love kisses and she is trying to take a bottle.. Of course it is 11:10 PM.. He is fighting sleep. Now that I think about it... I should be in bed !!! LOL See ya'll tomorrow !!!

Some Cross Stitch Freebie Finishes

This is some stitching that I finished this weekend. I was able to get 3 stitched.

Boo Freebie By The Stitcherhood.

Wicked Freebie By Primitive Bettys

Souvenir De France Freebie By Blackbird designs

I will make a frame for the Boo Freebie and make Wicked into a pin keep. Souvenir De France, I did on 28 count so it a a good size for a little pillow. I already have the backing fabric picked out, Black Toile with small black fringe. Hopefully I can get to my sewing machine without ten fingers ( Joshua's Indian Name.. LOL ) trying to check everything out. He had one the the eyes that hold the thread when threaded in machine all jacked up... I had to straightened that all out before I could finished Zoe's burp clothes....

Sli was laid to rest today. Going to miss her.... I am going to look around for a marker for her. DH put her grave on the edge of the clearing, where the woods start. After 18 years of life, she has a good resting place.....

Well going to get an early shower and try to relax before bed...

Sli (Kitty) 1991 - 2009

Dewayne found Sli today. She had been close to the house for about 2 weeks and getting weaker each day. Not eating anything. She hadn't came up to eat for 4 days and we looked everywhere.
I called myself checking under house, but it is so close to the ground.. I smelled something .... under the house... well.... Dewayne has to try and get under there to remove her.. I tried to get her to stay in the house... But no, she wanted out... Now to just figure out how to get her out to bury her... Dewayne is out there doing that right now... I can't talk got to go.

Pay No Attention To Joshua's Shirt

Those Spots on Joshua's shirt is his supper.. Mom brought us chicken and dumplings, I fried some potatoes, had corn on the cob and made some cornbread muffins... That sure was alot of starches... Oh who cares.... LOL As Eddie says in Christmas Vacation, " I don't know about that Clark, But it sure is Gooood."

Poppa promised Joshua a lawnmower ride if her ate his supper... Well he is wearing must of it. Poppa said that was fine, his plate is clean.. He did like his meme's chicken and dumplings.

Baby Sis-ter is eating now.. She and I had a great talk while momma was taking a shower.. Just girl talk... She started running her hand over her hair and I told her that it looks great and not to worry about her hair-do, It will fall out once she starts turning that head side to side. She made a eyebrow - together look at me and I told her " that is the truth, your brother lost his hair on the side." Well, she didn't want to hear that... LOL

For my stitching readers, I haven't done much stitching... New baby Zoe, need I say anymore...

I am going to work on some Halloween stuff tonight. I started a new Freebie, can't remember who is the designer??? But when I finish with it, I will let you know. I did start another Freebie by The Stitcherhood called BOO. Here is their link http://thestitcherhood.com/ The pattern for my VM bus came from them.

Well, it is about to storm here and Joshua is back inside.... Bath Time !!!! Yea !!!
