The Joys of renting and a blue Moose

Apartment living in the Bay Area can sometimes give you a headache. Mainly because if you happen to live in a complex that is managed by a HUGE corporation there usually is NO room for negotiations when it comes time to renew your lease.

Oue lease is nearing its end and we have been nervous about how much they were going to raise it. So I have been browsing the classifieds and Craig's list in the search of a new home, even though the thought of having to pack before the holidays really makes me sad. It would mean another year without a Christmas tree or any holiday decorations for that matter :( Our last two Christmas's have been spent packing and moving. For work and our choice. I do enjoy moving though it is a great way to declutter :)

I received our renewal letter today and YAHOO!!! we are staying! Our rent will remain the same so I can start to decorate for the holidays now and sit back and relax this Christmas :)

Now onto my current stitching. I have not gotten to far on this design, but it still continues to be a fun stitch. I want to have it finished up by next week so I can work on a few of my Christmas ornaments.


Christmas is fast approaching, how did it sneak up so fast? My cousin has recently moved back to Texas and I want to stitch her an ornament design related to the Lone Star State.

So how are you coming on your holiday projects. Are you on schedule or behind like me?

Have a wonderful Weekend!

What I've been stitching on.And the winner

I have trying to finish some ornaments that I stitched last year that never made it out to the recipients for Christmas :*) I finished my Aunts ornament last night and I just love it :)

I was trying to decide what new project I wanted to start. Gift of Piece was on the list but as I was digging through my charts. This design jumped out at me. I have had it for a few years and always pass it over but this day it just called to me.

It is called "Once in a Blue Moose" Designs by Lisa


And this is where I am so far.


It is a fun little design and stitches up pretty quickly.

And now for the winner of the little Halloween design I drew random numbers and the number that got chosen was #7 Ranae WooHoo Ranae I will be emailing you shortly :)

Thank you all for visiting my blog and especially for leaving wonderful comments, I always appreciate them :)

((HUGS)) and happy stitching!

A teeny tiny little finish to share

OK so this was suppose to be a scissor fob, but as I was stitching it I forgot to put the hanger on LOL and I did not want to try and fix my mistake so I just left it. I filled it with polly fill beads and it is now a teeny tiny pin cushion :)Sorry for the bad picture I took it with my cell phone



I have my halloween scissor fob all ready to finish today, also I am working on an ornament for a christmas exchange I am in so of course no snaps of that till after she had recived it.

I have this whole weekend off, so I am going to look through my stash and fabric and put together something new to start on :) L&L Gift of Piece is looking really nice for a start...I saw a finished one over at Becky's BLOG it is hung above her beautifully decroated mantel. I think this would be a terrific design to start stitching.

Hope everyone out there in blog land has a fantastic Thursday :)
Take Care

Back into the swing of things

Hello blog friends, so much to tell and share but first I want to thank ALL of you who have kept my husband, myself and his family in your thoughts and prayers. You are never prepared for that too soon loss of a loved one and can never trully imagine the pain until it happens. We all seem to be doing well, my DH was a mommas boy :) he is doing good. He is VERY busy at work these days so it is keeping his mind occupied.

His sister and step dad are getting through it together and I am happy to announce that Riley the dog is at home with its new parents :) Remember I said he was not house trained yet, well he let us know on our last night there by making a wee-wee in our bed!!!! I think he knew we were leaving and he also knew things there were alot different in his "house" But I know that he will do terrific in his new home.

I can not believe it is ALREADY November 4th *YIKES* I wish I had a machine to slow the time down just abit :) I have begun to pick up my stitching again. I am almost finished with my little reindeer ornament from the current JCS magazine. IT is the cutest thing I have stitched that is that small :) I just wonder how long it will take me to actually finish it into an ornament? LOL I will post a picture in the next day or so.

I also am in the process of crocheting a baby blanket for a dear friends first baby due in Feb. I have picked out blue/brown/cream color scheme. I love blue and brown together and think it is a great color for a baby boy.

It has been along time since I read through my google reader thingy and when I got back on Sunday I had 191 WOW!!! I think I have it down to 160 or so. At least I will not be bored this weekend LOL.

I came across this giveaway over at Between Crosses

If you enter befor november 30th you may have a chance to win this and some other wonderful goodies. Is'nt this a cute stitched piece? I am a snowman lover so I LOVE it.

Well blog friends. I hope you are enjoying your month so far and remember that I appreciate your friendship even if I do not "talk" to you often I think of you often.

Happy stitching, many ((HUGS)) and take care

My Mothe in Law is gone

She passed away on Tuesday night. We got down there at 8 p.m and she passed away at 2 a.m She will surley be missed and it will take some time before our family is healed from her loss.

She was a special lady and a wonderful mother who raised a fantastic son, my husband.
Her with my husband the day he was born :)

She was always so much fun to be around. And I felt like she was my very own mother, so to lose her was to lose my own mother all over again.
