Okay, now that all the pictures are out of the way. My monkey is showing more and more personality as the days go by. And let me tell you, I'm in so trouble. He is such a stubborn little boy, there are no words to describe how stubborn he is. He's a great sleeper, when he finally falls asleep. He ...

Warning: long post ahead, two stich trips to catch up on.

In August of last year, I went to Vegas and was able to do some shopping.

I picked up Lizzie*Kate's Halloween Rules and this fabric to work it on

Thanks everyone! There are no bobbins under the plate where they are suppose to go. I'm going to head to joannes tomorrow to talk to them, and see if they have any tips and bobbins/bobbin case. I think when I get back from Vegas (just a few short weeks before I leave. Another story for a different ...

Thanks everyone!!!!!! Sadly I've only come across manuals that I have to pay for, no free ones. The model number is 534FB, and the manufacturers website doesn't even have the model listed.

If you are talking about the little bar on the inside of the cabinet and it makes the needle go up and down ...

I just want to kiss those cheeks.


We all kiss those cheeks. When we do we tell him kisses, after each one and at times he will turn towards you and give "kisses". We always say thank you when he gives kisses and he will smile real big and give more. Now when he's finished and doesn't want ...

Cuddling with one of his fur babies (my moms youngest pug, she was always laying next to my stomach when I was pregnant)

Hanging out in his jumper, he's still a little too small for it, but ...

On facebook I'm a member of a local buy/sell/trade group, and yesterday a post came across my newsfeed. A young lady was selling her sewing machine for $15. It's in great condition, still works, has its own table, and she was willing to meet half way for pick up. So after work I pick up my ...

This was Zalan's first 4th and I couldn't have been prouder. We went to a small BBQ put on by our family, in a city that allowed fireworks (where we live it's a $700+ fine if caught shouting them off). Zalan was awake for some of the booms, but slowly fell asleep and stayed asleep throughout the ...

Just popping in to say hey, and to share more pictures.

Zalan and daddy

Granny squares is how I started off in crochet. Finished a baby blanket for a friend, and forgot to get pitted before I sent it off. Now I have a nice stash of yarn and many projects started. I have even more patterns that I want to crochet. I do believe that crochet is as addicting as cross ...

He's here!!!! Well he's been here since May 31

I keep thinking that I need to post more, but with my photobucket account being funny I'm unable to. Oh, and not having internet at home is hard as well.
I'm sadden to say that my posting probably won't get much better in the near future. My son is due to make an appearance in about 3 weeks from ...

I'm ever so slowly working my way back. I've been one busy girl in the last couple (many) months. My stitchy bug wondered off at one time, and I found a new kind of stitchy bug, a crochet bug! I crocheted a blanket for my best friends new baby (and forgot to get pictures before I sent it to her), I ...

I'm glad your stitchy bug has found his way home. You're making good progress on this one and it looks great. How big will it be when complete?


Um... Huge! Lol. All the good info I have says it is 350w by 997h stitches/ 14 in wide by 39 and 7/8ths high. Huge. It took me forever to finish page ...

It's not high on my favorite list to stitch, nor is it something that I want to spend a lot of time stitching. I figure when I get it finished is when I get it finished.

There's a crap ton of back stitching and French knots, it's really just not a favorite :?



It's no fun to work on something ...
