Beautiful Roses and my son Noah!

Hello Friend~
Thought I would share a couple pictures of my son Noah and his friend, Morgan. It was her first visit to our house yesterday! The three of us ended up going to Panara for a bite to eat and then to Borders to hang out out. It was fun and Morgan is very sweet. Hard to believe my son has grown up so quickly and will be starting high school this fall. Life is flying by~
The roses were such an unusual color, I had to post a picture~
Hope everyone has a wonderful week~
God Bless!

JoAnn's Memorial Sunday Party~

Let me just say this!!!! JoAnn & Bethany's party was the BOMB!!! Good friends!! Delicious food and needlework!!! Is there anything Better?? It started at 11am and we left a little before 6pm. JoAnn has the most wonderful house, with the most ecletic clock collection I have ever seen, by her beloved husband Bob! Lots of chimes, all unique and so cool!! Then you have have JoAnn's Samplers to drool over in every room. And her daughter Bethany is a Sampler lover as well, she was visiting from Florida. She has her Samplers posted to Ellen Chester webshots, under bearlynew2000. Check it out!!! Amazing!! I will treasure this day forever, another sweet memory to add in my heart!

Isabella, Bandit and Sweet Pin Keep~

Hello Friends~
It has been such a long time since my last post, I have missed you. Did April fly by or what? I had a couple of health issues that had me in a funk and several visits to the Dr. That is never fun. But I am feeling better and will continue to get better in time.
As you can see, not much done on Isabella, but I love what I have done. I ended up changing the color on the small alphabet and numbers as well. It called for Biscotti (the row right under the small alphabet) which barely shows on on my fabric. So I changed it to weeks dye works, palamino. It goes good with the other colors in the sampler and I am pleased with it.
Hoping for some wonderful weather this month, here in Ohio! I am wishing all of you many sun-shiny days and times spent with friends. Until next time~
God Bless~

Here is pretty boy, Bandit. He is almost 6 months old and getting close to 20lbs! He and my older dog are now getting along well and playing together, it is so much fun watching them play tug-o-war. He has such amazing energy, wish he could give some!

Look at this sweet pinkeep I got at Etsy!! It is a design by Notforgotten Farm. This was made by Rhonda Tedder of Simple Thyme Prims. She does such a lovely job, all is done by her hand. If you would like to look at her her other offerings, please visit her Etsy shop; http://www.etsy.com/people/SimpleThymePrims

Hello Friends!!
I cant believe how fast April just flew by! I had a couple of health issues, and they kind of had me a bit down. But I am feeling better now and I have missed you. As you can see I don't have alot more done on Isabella, but what is done, I just love. I ended up changing the color in the 2nd alphabet, and numbers as well, the color it called for is biscotti (there is a band of it under the small alphabet) and it barely showed up on the fabric I choose. I used weeks dye works, palomino, and it goes well with the other colors in the Sampler. Can't wait to finish the algerian eyes, then next the grass and the cow!!
The weather han't been that great here in Clinton, Ohio~but I am hoping for some beautiful and warm weather this month! I wish all of you many wonderful sun-shiny days and times with good friends!!
God Bless ~

Bandit has gotton so big!! Getting close to 20lbs, and he such a good boy!! He will be 6 months in a couple days. Now Bandit and my older dog Rex are playing together very well, so much fun watching them play tug of war!!

Look at this lovely pinkeep I got on Ebay, it is a pattern by Notforgotten Farm. It was all hand sewn by Rhonda Tedder. She makes some beautiful items, all made by her hand! Here is Ronda's link to Etsy http://www.etsy.com/people/SimpleThymePrims

A Sampler, Sweet Bandit and Snow!

Dear Friends~
This is a Pennsylvania German reproduction Sampler, called Ann Huber 1834, by The Marking Sampler. It was a fun stitch, with motifs and alphabets and I love how it is a bit primitve with only a few colors used. I think I am going to distress it a bit before it gets framed.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy~

Here is our Sweet Bandit! He got his last shots this past week, and he now weighs 12lbs!! At 4 months old, he is always looking for trouble. lol I had made some tea this morning and I saw he was chewing on something? Here he had a tea bag,! Never a dull moment when he is around~

This is what I woke up to this morning, looking out my window!! I have to admit, it looked magical. We didn't get all that we were suppose to, but that was OK with me. School was closed, so my son, Noah was quite happy!!

A Litle Bit of Bling!

Hello Dear Friends!!!

I have been wanting to make this necklace for quite sometime! Finished it about a week ago and thought I would share a few photos of it! I cut 1 inch pieces of 18 gage sterling silver and wired each piece to a taupe colored 8mm swarovski rondelle. I was the lucky bidder to win the antique heart pendant on Ebay, it is 2 inches long, and 1 1/2 inches wide in the middle, and yes, it does open up! The total length is 36 inches long, and it is a fun piece to wear. I have to admit that sometimes, I do like to wear a little bit of bling!

Best Wishes Always~
Kim

Finished and Framed

Hello Dear Ones~
I finally got this piece framed and I really love it. It is an old Ewe & Eye pattern, called Pennsylvania House. Stitched on 40ct R&R cappuccino, using NPI silks listed. The colors are very pretty and an unusual mix. I had always thought I would use a wide black frame, but it just didnt work, and then I found this one and it was perfect.
Hoping to get some stitching done on Isabella this weekend! Soon, the new releases will be coming from Market, what is on your wish list to buy and stitch???
With Kind Wishes~
Kim
