Well I added some cording to this and I think it made it work much better. I liked it so much I am doing one more. I really like this finish. There are so many designs that lend themselves to this kind of finish. Thanks for looking at it.

Finished a finish

I just finished the bent creek signs of winter into a door hanger. It was great. I think it looks pretty spiffy. The tip I learned from my book was to cut an L shap at the top and bottom for example: L L but picture the second L flipped. Then fold in the sides and put the top down. It helps with mitering the corners.

Well the quiz didnt go so well but I will do well on the midterm I have to. Hope you like my finish.

Catching Up

Well Paul is getting a cold or something. That always worries me. I have a quiz on Tuesday... That too worries me lol. Right now I am working on (toying with the idea) of stitching Pine Mountain's Tie on Winter.. .Only I am stitching it on 32 ct and it will be made into a mini cube if that works out.. We will see... I am just now working on learning finishing. I did find a new idea in one of my books I have placed on ebay. A tip for making the fabric lay flatter when you mount it to poster board. I will let you know if it works out.

Well off for more studying.

Toothless Again

Well Paul is again toothless x 2. He has lost a tooth on the top and a tooth on the bottom. So the tooth fairy has had to fork out the dough in the last week and a half lol.

School is in session and roaring full speed. Trying to find time for everything. I still need some stitch time.

Working on learning to finish better. I have picked up a few new techniques.

A new Finish

I am going to try and update more often. Here is a small finish I managed. Its by Bent Creek and is called signs of winter. I think it turned out so cute. Its about 5 inches tall by 3 inches wide and is done on 32ct blue lugana. I think he turned out really cute.

Been a while I know

I know its been a while since I updated. Been extremely busy lately. I have been trying to finish a model for Stoney Creek and we moved of course. I thought I would post some pics of our new house. We are so much enjoying having a house to come home to rather than an apt. We moved closer to my mom and its been very nice.



School starts again for Paul and I this month. Paul starts on the 29th and I start on the 21st. Back to the grindstone again. No more leisurely summer days.

Ok back to finishing up these models.

Thank you Card 05-19-07

This is a card that I made for Paul's Teacher. I will give it to her on May 31, along with a teachers survival kit and a small stitch I plan to do. I think it turned out ok. Lol I started with a totally different look and ideas in mind but this is what came out. Hope you like it.

Easter Sunday - Easter Bunny Came

Well Easter has come and gone. Paul got a great easter basket from the Easter bunny. He got 2 games for his game cube, some bubbles, a little stuffed chick, a book and candy. He got enough money in the eggs in his easter basket that he can go buy one more game for his gamecube. We had Steak and lobster and shrimp for dinner. mmmmmmm it was soooo yummy. School will soon be done. I believe I am done on the 24th of April for the summer. I cant wait.

New Year

Its been a while since I updated. Sorry about that. Well lets see whats been going on. Paul lost not only the first loose tooth but the second as well. I got the B's I needed and YESSSSSSSS i was admitted to the Business School at the Universtiy of Utah. I am now upper division and school has started again. I am trying to get into the groove of things with school. Its not easy.

The weather has been terrible its about 10 degrees for the high and 3 or 1 for the low. Not my idea of a good time.

End of the Semester

Today I think we are going to try and put up our tree. I will try and get a picture of it. The semester is almost over. I have Finals on Tuesday and Wednesday. I am stressed big time but hopefully I will make the B's I need. Wish me luck.

Paul has a loose tooth.

My baby has a loose tooth. Hes growing up toooo fast on me. He had a fabulous birthday and now that hes 6 hes grown up overnight. I cant handle this. Man I feel like tomorrow I will wake up and he will be in college. Hes just tooo big. His party was so much fun. He got spoiled rotten. Cant believe hes 6. This whole weekend went by too fast.

Paul's Birthday Party

Well today was Paul's big birthday party. It went ok but he was bouncing off the walls. He doesnt do well in a crowd. But I think all in all everyone had a good time and he got lots of nice gifts. Hes really and truly spoiled. I am physically exhausted. Its just been a real day. But I am glad we could have a fun birthday for him.

Paul's Invitation

Here is Paul's Invitation for his Birthday Party. I wanted to manage to get it uploaded to the web. I thought it turned out kind of cute.

November 19, 2006

Well this week has been interesting to say the least. I thought I was going to have to have surgery but now I dont. I also lost my Aunt November 18. Its been tough on my mom. Shes lost 2 sisters in 10 months. Not easy to say the least. I have been trying to make some cards and get ready for the holidays but they came up on me so fast this year. Paul's Birthday is Friday and his Party is Saturday. It should be lots of fun. I will try and upload a picture of his invitation that I made. So much going on now that the holidays are here.

New to this business

New to this business. Just thought maybe it might be a place to write how I am feeling. Maybe cheaper than therapy lol. Maybe I need therapy. I am a single mom to a darling 5 almost 6 year old little boy. Its hard sometimes being a single mom but with the help of my parents I manage. I work as an ap clerk and go to school part time. I am trying to finish my Accounting degree. I have been divorced for 4 years. I enjoy stitching and making cards and taking care of my little boy. That's it in a nutshell about me. Hoping this is helpful to me and anyone else out there. I am going to resolve to try and find one positive thing about each day and try and post it here. Today I started this blog. That's positive. I haven't been feeling well but think I am feeling better now.
