Finally finished



but not with out a HUGE number of mistakes. Some I fixed, some I didn't. Since is it is only a Christmas ornament, I decided not to frog it all. I think the mistakes blend in nicely. Hahahaha. Oh well...at least it's done! I'm still not so sure about linen. The link to the freebie is here.

EMS Rose Sampler SAL finished!


I can't express how much I will miss this. I enjoyed every stitch. I think it came out beautifully. I did "adjust" the chart a bit with the butterflies and the weird looking "A". I can't wait to see what she has planned next! Sorry the color is so weird. I couldn't get a decent pic to save my life!

Breast Cancer Awareness



I got this freebie from here.

Frustrated


I am so frustrated with linen. It is getting the best of me. I ripped out the bottom section of this at least 5 times, and there is still a mistake but I just couldn't bring myself to ripping it out again. I don't know why I have such a hard time with linen, but I sure do. This is a freebie from here but I seriously don't know if I will bother finishing it.

Happiest of Holidays


These are from JCS Halloween preview issue. I never received my Christmas Ornament issue and I'm kind of bummed but I know if I buy one, my copy will arrive. I really don't have time to start something new anyway.

Busy weekend


Megan and Me.

Ugly but delicious bagels.

Megan, Josh, Kimber, Todd and I went apple picking on Saturday, then I made 2 pies and apple crisp.

On Sunday I made "homemade bagels" using premade pizza dough. I got the idea from another blog, but I can't remember which one. They are delicious! Crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. Yummo!

I tried to load pics of the pies but it keeps turning it sideways. Anyone know how to fix that?

I've got some stitching done on the EMS SAL. I was hoping to finish it this weekend but there has been too much going on.

Kimber's soccer team had a game today too. They lost by 2 goals, but played much better than last game so at least they are making progress.
