I think I figured this out...

It's Sunday and I have been waiting for this all week! I then got a migraine... NICE! I then woke up from my migraine nap feeling cruddy and attempted to post some pictures... ugh! Above is the latest progress of Happy Bunny Bunny Day





Over here is what I now think of as my Coronation Street project. I seem to work on it Sunday am when I watch Coros with Phil ( a weeks episodes show one after the other ) it is coming along nicely and I can live with working on it then.

My part order came from 123 Stitch this week - I ordered the fabric and threads for Quaker Christmas... the fabric and threads came but not the chart --- I am waiting on that. I also got some groovy scissors and blackbird needle minder.

A lot is happening on the kid front... Ben is going strong with his bet and has not had pop! It looks like a DSI 3D is in his future. Emma has two more shows this week and then begins it all again Thursday. Maggie is off to work tonight. Phil and I are going to watch the Grammy's--- or as much as we can stand of the Grammy's.

Until next time...

A whole lot of crazy going on here

IT HAS BEEN NUTS HERE!

That is the theme for today's entry in the blog of nonsense...

It all started last Monday the 31st with the rolling of Simphony(yes I am aware that the spelling is wrong but that is how we spell it at the Sbux) Simphony is a new point of sale system that although promises to make everything better it has a giant learning curve. My H&G peeps are catching on but it does make us a wee bit slower than normal. Next came "Hell Week" (sorry pg readers but that's what it's called in the theatre world) this is the week leading up to opening- Emma has a tendency during this week to come EXTREMELY close to being banished from the family and out on her tush. We manage all to still love her and she is BRILLIANT in this play. If you can get tickets go- it is just amazing. Next my beautiful nieces became sick :( They NEVER get sick so imagine the worry.) My mom hopped the bus Sunday am to go help as my sister and brother in law just have each other- they are not fortunate to have my mom (or any family) just two blocks away like I have. We have not heard an update so no news is good news. Ok so what else went on... Ben was in a play - Bob the Cobbler was his part and he was excellent--- Mags worked as per usual and broke up with her boyfriend Connor. Phil started two new jobs and I came to see home from work yesterday progress in the master bath (YES!) All in all a crazy week.

On the stitching front I am still plugging away at "Happy Bunny Bunny Day" My new camera arrived last week soI will attempt pictures later.

Not too much on the agenda today- I need to wake the household soon and get everyone moving. I have errands as well as hot yoga today WOOT. Right now I am just enjoying the peace and quiet. Oh wait there is movement --- better go check it out...

Until next time...

Just a quick one...

I'm off to work shortly. I have the 6am-2:30pm shift - it should be good as we are all getting the hang off the new system. Woot!

It's Emma's opening night and a half day for Ben. Mags has a rotten cold so school most likely will not be an option for her today. Juggle,juggle,juggle! Oh well.

My new camera came so pictures are coming the battery is just charging and then we are in business. I will post later to let you all know how the day goes - happy thought everyone!

Until next time,

Waiting on Bob the Cobbler

I have managed to get through the rolling of our new POS system and now have a day off tomorrow (well I am going in for an hour but that really doesn't count) I am waiting on Ben who is playing Bob the Cobbler in a Bumbershoot theatre piece at DWE. He is done shortly and I feel like I am holding my eyes open with toothpicks... It's been a long stretch.

I will post some pictures tomorrow with the latest pictures of my rabbit. It's coming along nicely.

Off to get Bennie

Until next time...

I have revisited the Food Network...

I do not have pictures today only ramblings...

I have started watching the Food Network again which only leads to a mess in my kitchen LOL that Phil says he doesn't mind cleaning up as he reaps the benefits... Tonight is Elton Brown's mac and cheese- I learned to temper an egg and managed to burn my hand all at the same time (gas range steel whisk need I say more..) Normally I would have skipped the egg but Mags is a not eating meat so the idea appealed to me. I am sitting at my island typing one handed -left  and watching Phil clean up. Tomorrow I am thinking I might try the Cola cake from Mennonite Girls Can Cook blog. The idea of Coke in a cake is magical to me.


On the kid front Ben made it into The DWE production with Bumbershoot - he is "Bob the Cobbler" woot! Emma begins He## week tomorrow for Brighton. Awesome...

Until next time...

Ok it's time for "Let's make a deal"

I have decided I must stitch one stash project before I start a recently bought project. With the amount of stash I have I could easy not have to buy any pattern for the next forty years. I would still have things left to stitch so I am making this pact that I MUST stitch something old before something new.That being written I started the Trilogy's  "Happy Bunny Day" today.

 

I have been wanting to do this one for a while. I had a migraine today and of course decided kit it while in it's manic haze... lol Phil looked at me like I was crazy but there you go. 

Speaking of Phil - he is amazing ( makes me crazy but amazing) he came to Costco to pick me up as I  couldn't see (migraine) and drove Emma and I home. My hero... ! He is the best dad and not a bad husband  as husbands go ... This is his "How go do I look pose?" where we all must exclaim  "FABULOUS"

Until next time...

Thursday already...

It's been a crazy week full of work. We are downloading a new POS system at work so I have been busy with that. Emma has been working hard on Brighton Beach and it opens next week ---- aahh! Phil is slowly getting back at it work wise. Maggie and Ben are just watching all that is going on around them.

The Angel ladies are coming over tonight so I am resting up and trying to figure out what I will work on. Maybe Pumpkin Hill by SB- we shall see-

Until next time...
