Beautiful days and yucky colds

Blech! I have come down with the cold that all the daycare kids have been ever so generously sharing around. Yesterday I was just miserable, today I am just tired!
I have gotten a little bit of stitching done on my patriotic piece and am now catching up on a few things that I didn't get done over the weekend and Monday with hubby home. It was good to have him home, but he can really throw off the routine! Ahh well, I am doing pretty good on catch up today. Besides, he did get the Christmas lights taken down and I didn't have to go out in my miserability and help!
Sounds like it is going to be a BEAUTIFUL day today so I hope I can get the kiddies out at least for a little bit. Will have to see how I feel. Maybe I can nap with the little monsters for a bit......

Almost finished!

Wow! What a day! Actually, what a week! I don't think that I have seen K for more than a half hour at a time, and usually that means us talking as I try to prop my eyes open and try to stay awake. Good meaningful conversation there!
Tonight I think that we actually have an evening free. We may go to Wal Mart and pick up a few things. My allergies have decided to kick in full force and I only have enough allergy pills to last until Tuesday. We also need to get some paint and possibly a few other things for our Awana Grand Prix cars.
I am down to the last soldier and then the last little bit of flag on my patriotic cross stitch. I really wish that I could figure out how to post pictures here and then I could show how much I have gotten done. The nice thing about this piece is the minimal backstitching too. Then I have some lettering and it is off to the framer with it. Now, I don't normally send my stitching off to the framer, K being the do it yourselfer that he is. But this is a very special piece. This piece will have the name of a soldier who was killed in the war and will be sent off to his family. http://geocities.com/americansoldiermemorialproject/ is the link for any of you other stitchers out there who would like to do something like this. I have enjoyed doing this piece, but so many color changes have driven me crazy! I am also very excited to get this done as it will be my first finish for the year, and I can then start my next piece, which is to be a thank you gift.

Change

Ok so I decided that it was time for a change. No longer can I stand to look at the unoriginal title to my former blog. I needed something different, something that doesn't say hello I am boring and can not think of anything more original. My blog will still be about the same things, just hopefully updated more often. Tonight K is at a meeting at church so as soon as I get off this thing I will park myself in front of the tv and watch the Amazing Race and stitch on my patriotic piece. I am determined to get this finished in a small amount of time, I really want to move on and work on my oriental piece that is going to be a thank you to S and B and the girls, but if I do that this one will get put on the side and not get done by its due date. And this one is a MUST finish!
K worked on our Awana Grand Prix cars last night. I think mine should be good, now just to get it painted and the sticker on. If I can figure out how to get pictures posted on here soon I will post one of it when it is done.
Speaking of pictures I got some cute ones this weekend at Grandma's Easter dinner and today of a couple of the daycare kids. I would love to be able to share those too. Well, the stitching is calling so off I go.
