Kitchen Help

On Monday night I headed to Hamilton to spend some quality time with my son. We had a good time yakking then in the morning off to Brantford to Jayne's. We had a kitchen to get ready for cupboards. Needles to say after a couple of days we had the walls washed, plastered and painted. The walls are ready now for her new cupboards. We had a good time doing it and I got to go to the stitching sisters Wednesday night which was great fun. I really enjoy seeing what everyone is working on and getting new ideas. I have started working on a Guiding Angel  and it is beautiful. Will post a picture when it is done. Trina did not want this and she was nice enough to give it to me. Wow two weeks in a row down in Brantford but I don't think I will make it next week or I have no good excuse to go down yet.

Good Time in Brantford

I made a quick trip to Brantford and got to go to the stitching sisters Wednesday night and had a great time. It was so nice to see everyone and get some more ideas and a new pattern, I had a very nice visit and spent some good quality time stitching with Jayne.

On my drive home from Newmarket to Barrie it was SNOWING. Didn't anyone tell the weather man it is still fall.

Ready for Winter

On the weekend my hubby and I got our back yard ready for winter. We have the screened in porch away and all the lawn furniture. The back yard looks bare now and ready for that white stuff.
Yesterday I did manage to sit down and stitch on Winters Nap yahoo. This one is going to take awhile but I do like seeing things come together.

Company Gone Home

We all had a great Thanksgiving and the kids came and went. It was really good to see them and as usual hated to see them go again. Dinner worked out great and all 5 dogs behaved very well. Some people have grandchildren but we have dogs for now.
My aunt and uncle left on Friday and we had a great time doing the tourist things with them. The time went very fast and hated to see them go. We will go down and see them in the summer. My uncle helped me to start a batch of red wine so I am working on that also.
The week was very enjoyable but I didn't stitch one stitch so hopefully I will get back to it this week.

Off to Airport

I am off to the airport to pick up my aunt and uncle but I just wanted to post my progress on A Long Winters Nap. I started this yesterday and I am so excited about this one. Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I don't have any Xmas cross stitch pieces so I am sure this will be the first of many, all going well.

Started a Long Winters Nap

Last night I started another project which was my Long Winters Nap. It has more bright colors than all of the browns that are in the owl. I just couldn't wait to get this one started.
My company start arriving tomorrow so I probably won't be blogging for a week and I won't get a lot of stitching done.

Company Coming

Been very busy lately cause I have an aunt and uncle from New Brunswick coming on Thursday. It will be very good to see them and get to visit for a week. We will do the tourist thing and show them around. My kids are coming up on the weekend Yahoo. I don't get to see the kids much cause everyone is working.

For Thanksgiving I have at last count 13 people and 5 dogs. The people aren't a problem it is just keeping track of the dogs. We have a small house but we manage. My sister and her family are coming so it should be a great time. Needless to say I haven't been able to get alot of stitching done.
