I decided to update all of my old blogs today. Gosh it's literally been years since I updated this one.
First I am stitching on a Christmas Ornament. It is a snowman (actually the face, hat and scarf) of a snowman.
Today I am going to see what kits I have or what is kitted up to start stitching. This is because I have been forgetting to pick up floss at walmart all week. Also my OTT lamps (both of them) at still in Blue Springs for another week. So if I wait on everything it would be two weeks before I get to stitch. I want to stitch this week.LOL
Book writing on hold until I bring my computer, desk and chair home next weekend.
Needless to say a lot of reading has kept me sane.
I am also insane with household projects. I can tell I was away all summer!
I hope all of you had a great summer.
I did find an author whose books I just love. Evan Marshall...is a great writer and I love his cozy series but I think he is no longer writing this series. I am trying to savor his books. It's hard as I am almost devouring them!
What have you been doing? What are you reading? Are you writing? Are you cross stitching or quilting?
Hugs,
Pam

Part Two
Okay well I hope everyone can view my posts now I uploaded a picture of my Hinzeit BOOKS piece I finished. I might upload some more pictures too... tonight is the Oscar Awards night. Will you watch the awards? I probably won't it's been a while since I've seen any updated movies.
Besides I'm reading a couple of good books. What are you having for supper tonight? We are having Salmon Patties....YUM
Hugs,
Pamela
Spring soon to come
It's almost spring and I for one had a tough winter and I am glad to see spring trying to arrive with the exception that along with spring in Kansas comes tornados. I did finish another cross stitch piece this weekend and I hope to be able to post a picture of it today. How is everyone's weekend going and are you being productive?
Hugs,

Good Morning
Good Morning Everyone,
It's cloudy here this morning and right now it's 50 degrees outside. I'm back from Kansas City and had quite the weekend.
I've been cross stitching quite a bit the past month. But took most of last week off from stitching. I am now ready to do some more crossstitch.
We are having steak, mashed potatoes and spinich tonight and I am going to bake some pumokin bread today.
I just started toying with a book idea and I'll let everyone know when I actually decide to work seriously on another book.
I am now going to see if I can post a photo on here.LOL

Saturday September 18th
Good Morning,
What a week first mom cancelled on coming up for the day. Had to rearrange insurance man but yet again as Frank had to make a trip to Witchita. Been doing the winter and fall clothes wash and organizing them as best I can and this has turned into a two week chore. It sounds like I have a lot of clothes but mostly I have vry little closet space.
I am sure everyone has more exciting plans than I do this weekend as I plan to do nothing but cross stitch and (SIGH) more laundry. My days are not very
exciting at the moment.
I can't wait to finish the Halloween Sampler and get back to the winter sampler. I did go to supper with my friend Lydia this week and we had Chinese Food. So we pretty much are caught up.
My son called last night and they had had leaks in their apartment this week plus he had the stomach flu this week. He called to tell me he is going to Lake Charles for Christmas and that his sister Amanda is coming to Kansas City for Christmas the day after Christmas.
Hugs,
Pam

Labor Day:
It shouldn't be too much longer before I have the Halloween Sampler finished. Today I found some of my Halloween decorations and while set them out to be washed I haven't put them out and up. Well I did the door wreath but that is it.
About a million years ago when I did ceramics I made a haunted house to which I still have (most of the pieces) so I always set it out and I made a darling ceramic scarecrow to which will be out and of course little white ghosts with black eyes, my Halloween Snowman in Cross Stitch that I did some years back and I have some black ghosts with pumpkin heads. I used to have a pumpkin Jack O' Lantern that was a light that blinked off and on but alas a grandchild broke that one some years back.
If you think I'm back my husband is worse and between you and me one year he made a black cat (he's no artist) and the face would scare my mother.LOLOL he made a pumpkin (grandchild would have done it better even the two year old grandchild) again no artist but the man loves his woodwork. He can paint a wall beautifully and does wonderful staining but drawing that is a whole other blog. Of course I have to admire it whether I think it's good or not because he will quit woodworking or pout so I just admire and go on with life. I could draw at least the pumpkin face etc but he doesn't ask because it's all his deal. I would rather cross stitch a pumpkin so while our house will not win any awards for decorating it's still nice to acknowledge fall. LOLOL we both love Halloween and fall. I feel that is what counts although I do get strange looks from our strange neighbors.
Do you decorate for fall? Do you carve a pumpkin or string orange lights?
For next year when the stitchers come to my house in September I am going to make a Halloween Tree and stitch ornaments for the tree. I am also going to make a tree or at least ornaments for the three other stitchers. It should be great fun....
Now my favorite thing is Skeletons I love Mr. Bojangles Skeletons.
Frank usually does bales of hay in the yard and then he stuffs a scarecrow and it's cute.
You can tell I'm ready for fall to arrive as this year it was way way too hot in Kansas and I didn't enjoy much of summer. Besides I can't wait to bake pumpkin bread and I love the turning of the leaves. I also love to wear sweaters and in the fall I can wear the beautiful fall sweaters.
I just wish I had a fireplace even a fake one as it is so much fun to stitch by a cozy fire or when the fall rains come I can curl up and read by the fire. However we do not have a fireplace and its a shame.
I know I also love to watch Kansas City Chiefs Football and I always crave nachos when watching footall. LOL I did watch the pregame this week and KC won 13 to 17 that was awesome.
This is the time of year I miss living in the victorian house and it was right across the street from the library.
At least I can look forward to Arsnic and Old Lace, Matilda, Hocus Pocus and other fall mysteries.
I will probably try to locate a Carolyn Hart Mystery set in the fall this year as I don't think I see any new fall mysteries.
Okay off to get ready to make our jaunt to Joplin.
Happy Labor Day!
