Shopping Trip

I was lucky enough to shop at House of Stitches. So I thought I would post my experience for all to enjoy LOL. I found the 2009 Ornament Issue finally. So I grabbed me a copy. There are alot of pretty ornaments this year.

2 Caron Wildflower Threads called Holiday. They are a beautiful Red and Green color.
Caron Wildflower Thread called Emerald. Jeremiah loves Green.

So now you can enjoy my shopping time almost as much as I did. I love House of Stitches. I've already started on the Be Thankful piece. Would love to finish it for this Thanksgiving Season. 

Ornament Exchange

I joined in an Ornament Exchange in my fav yahoo group ESC. This is what I received. Not one but two adorable little biscornu ornaments. Also a beautiful bookmark. Geneva was my partner and she really spoiled me. I have the stitching for her ornament done just need to find time to finish it into an ornament. I just hope she likes it half as much as I love mine. I love ESC and all the wonderful ladies in it.

1812

We made a trip back to 1812 again. In Marion, Indiana they have a very fun re-enactment every October. Goes back to show the War of 1812. We always make it a point to attend. This year my hubby, Jeremiah and I went on Sunday. We went early and planned on meeting my dad and step mother later. It was nice cause we spent lots of time shopping. Jeremiah got some wooden guns and a neat bow and arrow. I got a pretty little purple bottle. We also did something new to us this year and made a candle. Jeremiah really enjoyed it. We also watched the battle of course. The loud cannons almost shake the ground when they go off. We really had a lovely time.

Also Friday I had another little Mill Hill finish. This one is called Witchy Fun from Mill Hill. Another one where you get this little box to attach the finished piece too. It's just too cute. They finally are finished and not in my stash box any more.

Here are the pictures...

Autumn Camping

We ended up having an interesting end to last week. Jeremiah got sick again Wednesday night so Thursday I scheduled a doctor appointment. Thursday was spent doing blood work, urine test, and an x-ray. The doc suspected a kidney stone. Come to find out they really run in our family and my dad had one at Jeremiah's age. Urine test showed signs but x-ray was clear so off to an ultra sound on Friday. Catch was Fred took day off work Friday so we could leave early on our Autumn Camping trip. Got the results at 3pm and had the all clear to go camping. The doc said either Jeremiah has already passed the stone or he had an inflammation that caused the sickness. Have to watch him and see if he gets sick again. 4 times being sick in one month is enough though please.

We headed out to our family's camping weekend. We got 9 sites this year and I swear for dinner on Saturday we had 50 people show up. It was crazy. We had a blast. This is when Jeremiah does his trick or treating. They shut down the campground roads and everyone gives out candy. He filled up his bucket. He wanted to be scary this year so we went for Swamp Monster. Got him a really cool antique minnow bucket for his candy. We got so many compliments on the outfit and bucket. I felt so out of touch though cause my phone wasn't working haha. No internet. It was horrible haha. Plus no stitching. But we all had an absolutely fantastic time.

Here are a few pics. Jeremiah in his outfit. Plus his little play trailer. This is a snowmobile trailer. My dad empties it out and even decorated it this year. We throw Jeremiah's tv and playstation plus a bunch of toys in there. The kids just run to play with him. It's great. Jeremiah just has so much fun. One time there was 7 little kids in there with him just laughing and enjoying life.

Little Halloween Finish

I finally have a finish to show. I finished up this little Mill Hill Kit. The kit is called Boo House. It comes with this little box. You glue the finished piece to the top of the lid. It took me two days to do the stitching. There are a lot of little beads that I just love and the little pumpkin bead to attach. It was a lot of fun to stitch. I have another like this I think I will start tonite. I love Halloween.

An Update

I'm here. Just been busy. We went on a lovely mini vacation to a beautiful state park in southern Indiana. It's called McCormick's Creek for the locals. It was for a geocaching Fall Picnic. The above picture is how Jeremiah spent the majority of the time. I told them I think he's allergic to fall so next year they have to call it Autumn Picnic. haha We did have a nice weekend overall. Poor Jeremiah was just sick most of Saturday. He still enjoyed himself he said.

I did a little bit of stitching here and there. I put quite a few stitches into a biscornu but didn't finish. I put some more into the Crescent Moon Dragon. Nothing worth a picture. I put some into a Mill Hill Halloween kit. Again nothing worth a picture. Just here and there. We've been busy doing a million things as always. Just remembered I hadn't updated in a long time. Life is good just busy busy.

9-9-9 Update

First Happy 9-9-9. I'm not one that believes in numerology I guess but it is special I guess. I have an update anyway haha. I finished the first page of Crescent Moon Dragon. The empty spots are for beads. I will add them after since they would be crushed in my Q-Snaps so bad. Hubby voted I do the head next so I'll start on that today.

Jeremiah got his first week off already haha. We had so much planned for this week we just couldn't do school. Monday we went to my dad's for a cook out. Yesterday he had physical therapy. Today we were supposed to go to Shipshewana to visit mom but he got sick. Tomorrow supposed to visit Great Grandma. Friday we are leaving for a mini vacation. This morning like I said though Jeremiah isn't feeling good. I hope it passes soon whatever it is. Poor guy always gets sick this time of year. The change of seasons is hard on him.
