Back From The Beach !

This was Gulf Shores Beach Friday Morning. Sorry for bad picture... It was that bad outside, wind, rain, and Sand blowing everywhere. Waves were extra bad.... surf was loud... couldn't hear

This was Gulf Shores Beach Saturday Morning. Waves still bad. Surf still loud. Raining still blowing hard all day long...

This is Gulf Shores Beach around noon Sunday... We had a break in the rain, but surf still was bad.

We are back from the beach !! Last minute decision to go. We phoned our friends and said are you ready to head to the Beach at 3:30.. They drove from Anniston and we were on our way by 6:00 pm Thursday afternoon. Started raining half way between Birmingham and Gulf Shores. Rained every day. Poured is what is did. We still had a great time. Went to the Tangier Factory Outlets all day Saturday. Shopped and ate ourselves into oblivion. Had a great time even in the bad weather. Awoke this morning to sunshine and blue skies!!! Time to go home!!! LOL. Packed car left headed back toward B'ham and guess what??? It started raining... LOL Rain followed us back home and it is raining now. Oh Well.... We need the rain.

I have some things I will be listing tomorrow to sell on my SELL BLOG.

Cross Stitch charts, linen, and books. So check back tomorrow and see what I have you may want.. I am de-stashing.....

Till Tomorrow....

GHOSTLY

Here is my progress on Ghostly. He is just sitting up there waiting on me to fill him in and make him all white!! He is cute and not scary. I have not been stitching on him.. He is lonely.

I did finish The Welcome by Paulette of Plum Street. I love the Olga Cat design she just release. I would love to have it to do for Halloween. I am behind on all Halloween stitching. I pulled out this one last night.

This is the Stacy Nash Chart - Salem Sewing Box. It will not take long to stitch... That is all I am working on. Till later......

New Start - Still Halloween

I have been stitching on this for 2 nights. It is from Designer - Paulette Stewart of Plum Street Samplers. I loved the Raven design as soon as I seen it. I even found the numbers to make mine just like the one in the picture. I am stitching the one called Welcome. I may make a wreath and attach it to the side of it. I need something in the blank spot next to my door.

I am also still working on Ghostly.. He is in the fill-in stage. I am just stitching all the white. Goes by slow. Should have a picture of him completed this week.

My mom brought me a book to read yesterday. Aunt Debbi, I have your book " Same Kind Of Different As Me" by Ron Hall & Denver Moore. I can't seem to put it down, I have just finished chapter #3 .. Hubby called wanted me to meet him for Mexican. I love Mexican. But I guess I will have to put this book down..... Till tomorrow......

Hmmmmm

Hmmmm..... I am sitting here looking at the screen, thinking.... What do I have to say today? Hmmmm..... I write and comment on my Facebook Page.. That is easy. There is a lot I can comment about. Friends are all the time emailing or commenting to the things put on FB. I can interact with them, have laughs, IM each other, and listen to One Friend says nothing but negative things... That is what is bothering me.

This person can only comment about how great her child is! Gets involved in her child's Teen Drama, Says negative things about her life, if it is not going HER way. She talks about her child's friends on FB, in a bad way. She is an adult and these are teenagers. I tell myself It is HER. I am going axe this Friend off MY FB today. I know, she will notice it. But I am sure it will not bother her... I don't want to read her comments anymore. They seem to make me grit my teeth every time I read them. So... I will do the good thing and not read them anymore! I need Rainbows and Sunshine!!! Not Doom & Gloom! LOL

Sorry for a melt down. Hubby says don't give it a second thought. DELETE ! Don't you wish we could hit a DELETE button on some things in our life and that would make them go away for ever. But we can't. That is how we learn things and lessons in our life. That is what makes us ... US Can you tell it is cloudy and rainy today? LOL

I will not bore you any longer. I will go back to stitching on Ghostly. I have to wait on Hubby to watch Dark Shadows. He has gotten bit by The Barnabas Bug!! LOL He is addicted now. He doesn't know that there are upteen zillion episodes...

Sorry for the gloomy post... This weekend will be better! Have a great Weekend everyone !

Till later......

Mr Pumpkin Is Finished

Here is Mr Pumpkin !! He looks like he has Chicken Pox. LOL The Rhodes Stitches ( chicken pox) were done in Silk N Colors - Halloween Confetti.

Here are 6 of The Family!! Only 2 more to go... Ghostly & Batty . I am still waiting on Ink Spot - Sheep's Silk Thread to come in, to start Batty. I guess he will be last... Ghostly is stitch on R & R Reproductions - Kingery Teal HD linen. Very pretty Blue. Starting him today. I am still watch Dark Shadows. Great Soap Opera! They need another Soap Opera like Dark Shadows, True Blood, or something along those lines for Daytime. They are cancelling all the soaps and putting on more talk shows. I don't watch soaps, but maybe I would if they were more like night time shows.

I have been going through my box of finished things. I have laid out about 6 that I need to make into something. I will work on finishing them and take pictures to post. I have never done a Flat-Fold Stand Up. I may try that with a Cute Spider Web Design I stitched.

Till Later.......
