~~~~ Ready for a nice Fall weekend ~~~~

Well my lip is healing :) Now I am left w/ a splitting ulcer down the center of my lip, but it isn't too noticable if I put on a little lipstitck ......I definatly need to slow down !!!!

Here are a few of my new listings on ebay ( stitchinthedayaway ) ~ Trying to work on a few for Etsy, but can't seem to get caught up, but I guess that is a good thing because everything keeps selling :) Yay!!! ( The top two stitchery's are from patterns of Country Rustic Primitives & the bottom on the candle board is from a pattern by Primitive Stitchin )

Got a fun "girls day" planned on sunday w/ my mom & sister to go to a nice fall festival about 40 miles from here where they dress up like colonial days ~ So we are ready to shop, eat, & gossip like we do best :) And the weather looks like it is gonna be a perfect 70 ' ~ I love fall ~ I hope to snap some pics to post........

More later......enjoy the weekend everyone!!

Blessings ~

Beware of hammers......

You'd think I'd know by now, but no I'm 30 yrs. old & just split my lip open w/ a hammer!! God it hurts......I feel like a little kid, home all along w/ this big pouty lip! No botox needed for me!! I was stupid & taking a square head nail out of my latest projest because I didn't like where I had put it, ( now I wish I would have left it there!!! ) when all I remember is tasting blood! At least I got that nail out....& thankfully I still have all of my teeth in place! Yes, it is that bad! Truth be known I may need stitches, but I am not a fan of doctors. So I am putting ice on my lip & staying clear of hammers for awhile.......while tasting blood all day! No talking for me either & I can't even eat it is split right in the center of by bottom lip ....boy this is a lesson learned!!!

Till next time.......

Fall is on the way.....

Well it has been a few weeks since my last post ~ It has been a busy time for us, Granny's surgerywent really well & she is coming home tomorrow :) She spent a little over a week in the hospital for her catherazation & open heart /valve replacement , then she went to a rehab facility for I think 8 days ~ Believe it or not all along that had been her biggest fear, not the surgery, but going to the facility afterwards, she thought it would be a "nursing home" & we would keave her there???? She is only 74, but everyone has been so impressed w/ her progress & she is coming home! Our prayers have been answered & we will continue to pray she continues to heal as she needs to ~ Her arthritis has made it more difficult but she is a trooper :) So proud of her ~

Anyways ~ here in PA the weather has been crazy, one day it is 90 then it is 65.......you can feel fall is on the way......Here are a few of my latest offerings made from patterns by various designers ~ If you see anything you are intersted in feel free to ask for a price & I may be able to stitch you one up !!!

Blessings you to all ~

Holding onto "Hope"......

Well ~ yesterday was a long tough day, the good news is no unknown blockages were found, but the bad news is that the valve we knew is bad is much worse than originally thought. We knew she would have the replacement surguery, but listening to the doctors talk is always so scary ~ Granny's surgury is tenativly scheduled for tomorrow ~ I recently stitched this up using a " Primitive Stitchin " pattern & I really love it ~ Perfect saying !! It is listed on Ebay now ( seller id Stitchinthedayaway ) , but I plan on making one to keep in my home to look at as a daily reminder that "hope" carries us through :)
She is on so many prayer lists & has so many angels watching over her I know she will pull through & be just fine.....it will be a long tough recovery, but she will be surrounded by so many of us who love her so much!!!!
Blesings to you all ~

Asking for extra Prayers.......

Hi Everyone ~
Tonight I am asking for any extra prayers you all can spare for my dear sweet Granny. She is going to the hospital in the morning for a catherization & while there she will most likely be having open heart surgury for a valve replacement ~
She is in a lot of pain as she has suffered w/ severe RA ( arthritis ) for years & it has gotten progressively worse. She has many foot surgeries, knee replacements, etc. & w/ this upcoming surgury she is off many of her meds & is very down & in pain so we pray she will recover quickly & the rehab afterwards will be managable for her. She is not looking forward to staying in a faciility for a few weeks, but it is what is best as they can care best for her :)
So if you have a an extra minute please say a special prayer for my Granny "Anne " as she has will have many angels looking over her..........
Blessing ~

One of my weekend treasures......

We hit a few yard sales this weekend ...... The first sale was best, but I don't have any pics of that stuff yet!! My hubby went to it first & came back w/ a bench that I just love & an old window then was telling me I may want to go so I threw on some make-up & we were off, this lady was soooooooo cheap, my favorite kind of yard sale!!! Thankfully it was only about 3 miles away cause we made about 2 or 3 trips! Lots of goodies for the yard, some for the house, resale, & to use w/ my crafts...an all around good day!! Then we headed to a big community sale were I found this cupboard & a few other treasures......I just love junkin.....I miss it in the wintertime!!!

Here is a cupboard I picked up very reasonable & just knew I'd find somewhere for it, I couldn't pass it up.....so after some rearranging & a good scrubbin it has a new home on top of a little dresser we picked up @ an auction a few years back! I think it is a pretty good match!

The other wooden cabinet we picked up 2 years ago at the flea market, it has now found a new home in the kitchen :) Love them both.......Then we spent sunday relaxing @ my parents in the pool w/ my sister !!!! The perfect end to the weekend.....

Hope you had a good one too.......

I have a new look........

Well......my blog does at least :)

I was doing a little playing around this morning & changed up the background & colors a little for a new look. I think I like it, at least for now ~ Hoping to work on some more cross stitch designs today.......but I never seem to get as much done as I hope to!!

In case you are wondering,,,,,,, this is all the beach glass I recently collected during my morning walks on our vacation to N.C. ~ I just love it......I has since found a home in an old antique jar w/ the rest of my glass collected from previous years.........

Enjoy the day.....
