Here is my Fun Monday post about Food.

Love food.

In the wonderful South we like to eat some of our veggies fried. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Okra

Tomatoes

Now don't get me wrong. I like my Veggies raw as well. Nothing beats Roma Tomatoes.

I Love fresh corn.

Disgusting Food:

CAN Corn...gross.

Boiled Okra...NASTY!!!

I really find English Peas disgusting as well. I will let you have my share. No problem.

I absolutely LOVE Tacos. Here is my public announcement.

And for Dessert.....Snickerdoodles. When I find my recipe I will post it.

This weeks Fun Monday is hosted by Thom. His assignment is Shoes.

These are my walking shoes. New Balance because they fit just right on my odd ball feet.

Thing 1 is holding up some sparkly dress shoes. My mom in law gave them to me. I kept them because you never know when they might make an outfit complete. No so far I have not found such an outfit. LOL
My red slip on shoes. I LOVE these shoes. Easy to put on and take off and they are RED.
MY FAVORITE!!! My red boots!!! They are comfortable and they are red. I love the pointed toe and the leather is so soft. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE my boots.

The only time anyone will ever see me in a "thong". Black flip flops, shower shoes, etc. what ever you may call them. I wear these around the house in summer. I HATE to be barefooted.

I will have next weeks Fun Monday assignment posted tomorrow. :)

This week's Fun Monday is hosted by Musings and Waffle. Her assignment is: Toys, games and pass-times. If like me you have pets, and/or children which are their favorite toys? Photos please... Or what are your favorite pass-times?

I do have pets. The furry kind and children. The dogs love their raw hide chew sticks. GAG, but hey I am not a dog. The cats have balls with bells in them. Gag, but hey I am not a cat.
The kids have their iTouch and iPods. Not such much gag, but I still don't get the whole fascination with these gadgets.

My pastime is of course cross stitching. It is a passion of mine. I won't bore you with pics, but you can scroll down to see the project I am still working on. I collect some dolls. My doll blog is here, but I still working on getting all the pics up on it. I also like to blog. In order to blog you must have a computer. Here is a pic of my laptop. My sister knows that I love Tinkerbell. She found me this sticker to remind me of her. TY Sis!.

Since I like to blog, here of course is a pic of me making a post on my blog. :)

Thanks for viewing my blog. Now head over to Musings and visit the rest of the Fun Monday crowd.

2010-05-10T10:46:00.001-05:00

I will post my Fun Monday later today. Dealing with some stuff at moment. :) Just letting you know I did NOT flake on it. :)

I do cross stitch as a past time. It is a passion of mine. LOL

Sabrina Update

2010-05-08T17:04:00.003-05:00

Here is a little progress. The colors I worked on are so close to the fabric color it is hard to tell I was filling in some places. I am working down toward bottom of her dress.

This is the before:

This is after:

Since it is close to Mom's day

2010-05-07T19:54:00.002-05:00

Whatever you give a woman, she will make it
greater. Give her sperm, she will give you a baby. Give her a house, she will give you a home. Give her groceries, she will give you a meal. Give her a smile and she will give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what she is given. So if u give her crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.

New Blog...Honey Hill Bunch

2010-05-05T11:18:00.004-05:00

.........and with the new blog, comes a new adventure.

My new blog is about my dolls from childhood. I have many pics but have not posted them all yet.
I do have 3 dolls put up so far. I don't have a favorite...because really they all are my favorites. I love them all. LOL These were not just "toys" for me. They were my "babies".

I was surprised by how many people played with and still have the Honey Hill Bunch. These are the two I have Sweetlee and Lil Kid. If you want to see more dolls in more detail. Visit my new doll blog.

This weeks Fun Monday is hosted by Sayre Smiles.

The assignment:
To see your pet(s) up close and personal.

:D FUN!

This is Buster he belongs to Robocop. He won't mind no one but Robocop.

This is Mollie. She loves everyone and she is such a sweetheart.

Here comes the cats. This is Princess and she is Thing 2's kitty. She will run to him when he calls her. Everyone else she ignores. She love running water but hates the camera...so I had to wait until she was sleeping.

This is Scabby. She belongs to Robocop too. She will lay by me and sleep and lay on top of me. I guess I like her too. LOL

This is our cat Sylvester. He is really gentle for the most part and never hurts any of us. He hates other male cats and he tolerates the girls. Look at that face.....it says it all. LOL He use to like to be rocked like a baby.
Now here comes my three favorite pets in the whole wide world. :) Robocop
Here is Thing 1. Wide eyed and bushy tailed. She cracks me up. She drank too much hot tea.
Here is Thing 2. He makes me laugh too.

I hope you enjoyed my Fun Monday. Head over to see the rest of the Fun Monday participants.

I Want Wednesday

2010-04-28T06:12:00.003-05:00

The question this week is....

What do you WANT from your boss/job?

Since I don't have a job yet...I really would like to find one. This small town has nothing so far.

What else do you want this week? Share it all.

Peace. If it is just for one day. I want some peace.

Join the fun.....

TUSAL Sabrina

2010-04-27T19:32:00.005-05:00

My progress on Sabrina. Gloves are almost finished. I have to add a couple colors to get them finish. I worked more on the dress. Hard to see progress, but some is made bit by bit. Sabrina likes having hands now. :P

This a pic for the TUSAL. More colors are added.
Plus there is a label from DMC. I finished my first skein of white for Sabrina!! :D

This weeks Fun Monday is hosted by Gattina of Writer's Cramp.

Her Assignment:

What do you drink in the morning, coffee, milk, tea, or something else ? and in what do you drink ? A cup or a mug or a bowl ? Please show us a picture !

In the morning I drink coffee. I LOVE my coffee....vanilla coffee is one of my favorites. Mmmmmmm. Caffeine is a must in the mornings to jump start my day. I drink my coffee in my Snowman mug. I puffy heart snowmen. I know it is not Christmas, but this mug just makes me smile.

Sometimes when I am busy and I need my coffee to stay warm for a longer period of time...I use this little silver gem. Robocop received it from his former employer, but since he does not use it often...I put it to good use. :)

Now if I don't have time to make coffee, not in the mood for coffee, or just having a lazy day I will drink one of my diet sodas. At the moment my taste is for Diet Cherry Vanilla DP. Anything with cherry in it is Yummy!

GLEEKING

2010-04-23T08:22:00.004-05:00

Glee is one of my favorite shows. It has everything in it, music, drama, music, comedy, and music. I don't who is my favorite character yet, because I like so many of them. LOL So I am a Gleek!!

Gleeking and Gleek was used by Branlaadee and I like them so now they are in my vocabulary. LOL

TGIF and Quote of the day

2010-04-21T15:49:00.002-05:00

Sandy you made my day. Check out her blog here to see if you are under Stress. I know I am. :)

Interesting Read

2010-04-21T15:32:00.003-05:00

I try to keep my blog about my cross stitching, fun and light hearted. I try to stay away from politics because, well sometimes blogging world is my get away from reality. Robocop on the other hand, is very much into politics. We do discuss politics and for the most part we agree.

Well Robocop sent me this link to read. I LOVED it so I am sharing. I hope you enjoy. It is not what you think it might be ;) The Perfect Crime: Murder in the First Degree.

Fun Monday

2010-04-19T08:02:00.006-05:00

It has been awhile since I played Fun Monday. So here it is.
This week's Fun Monday is hosted by East Coast Life and her mission:

When it comes to gift-giving and receiving, men and women differ on many things.
Are men easier to please?

Show us the best and worst gift(s) you have ever received from your spouse/partner/lover?

So here it goes:

The best gift I have received from my husband I got for my Birthday and Christmas just a few months ago.

For my Birthday I opened up a pink Nintendo DSi that I have been wanting for a long time. Me and Court Jester 2 play together or more like against each other once in awhile. His DSi is black...because pink is not cool for a boy. ;)

Now I tell Robocop that he can NOT go wrong with jewelry. This is the only proof I have that he does listen to me once in a blue moon. I opened these little jewels up on Christmas.

In the past I have received perfume that I loved. Because I am a girly girl. I have gotten Roses, which I do like, I just don't get the expense of spending money on them just for them to die and go to waste. I rather have different flowers that don't cost as much....because I do like flowers. LOL He even bought me a cross stitching chart for Valentines day one year. This past Valentine's day he bought me a red purse.

I can not think of any bad gift he has given me. He knows what I like.

Quote of the day

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Éirinn go brách Irish Gaelic.

Sabrina 11 hours of stitching

2010-03-16T10:04:00.003-06:00

Here is progress on Sabrina after 11 hours of stitching. I am loving me some roses.

Sabrina

2010-03-15T14:18:00.003-06:00

I started on the flowers finally. Getting a little more color to her. I put in the silks....and I love how soft they feel.

Sabrina Second Update

2010-03-14T16:37:00.004-06:00

This is what I have done so far. I hope tonight I can stitch more on her. She has been a fun stitch so far. I am being careful so I won't have to frog. I hate doing that!

Sabrina First Pic

2010-03-14T13:29:00.003-06:00

I have not stitch too far on Sabrina, but I am making some progress. I am LOVING stitching on her. 32 Count Jobelan in Cactus. It looks more blue in pic, but it is more green in real life.

Spring Queen update

2010-03-12T11:42:00.003-06:00

I love the colors of Spring Queen. I am so glad I started her and made some small progress.

Clean and Ready

2010-03-11T07:48:00.003-06:00

My mom gave me this canister a few years ago. I love anything with Coca Cola, my favorite drink. I use it as my Ort collector. Now it is all cleaned out and ready for my Sabrina orts. I discovered TUSAL (Totally Useless SAL) today. I decided to join in the fun. :) I know the new moon is coming soon. So this weekend be a start at least. I am all ready to go. :)

Life is complete.......

2010-03-08T19:26:00.004-06:00

I have my wonderful fabric from Silkweaver. 32 count Jobelan in the color of Cactus. I have the chart and the floss. Next I will work on getting the beads, but since I add them last there is no hurry. I am soooo ready to start on Sabrina!!!

The fabric has more of a green tint to it than the picture shows. I am ready for a NEW camera. The floss looks wonderful. I think the fabric will add a soft contrast to the design.

Celtic Autumn

2010-03-06T08:21:00.005-06:00

YES I am obsessed with Sabrina. I can NOT wait to start her. Looking at my Mirabilia patterns today, I came across my Celtic Autumn. I keep forgetting about her. Well not no more. I won't start her for awhile, BUT I do have fabric for her. I will have to get more floss, but this give you an idea what she will look like. I LOVE this!

Celtic Autumn is a Lavender and Lace Design, not a Mirabilia. I love L&L designs but not as much as I LOVE Miras.

Any hoo, here is a floss toss on the fabric and a picture of the design. Now the original design is in purples, but some have done a color conversion for Autumn like colors. I was gifted this from a woman in Scotland from a stitching board. She had a Kit and gave me her "left overs" so I would have an idea of what colors to use etc. TY TY TY Paula!

Here is the picture of the design:

The Floss Toss on the fabric:

The Beads on the fabric:

The fabric is 28 count Khaki even weave. The color of course is better in person than on the computer.

Sabrina Stuff

2010-03-02T11:28:00.003-06:00

I have been getting things organized and ready for Sabrina. I hope to get my fabric in mail this week. Here is my stitching journal and binder for the stitch bows.

Spring Queen update

2010-02-25T07:46:00.003-06:00

Spring Queen is getting an arm now. I am still working on it. I did not take a new pic yet but I have more of the sleeve done on her dress. It blends in with the fabric so hard to tell anything has been done. I am waiting to get more colors in the sleeve so when I do take a pic it will be more noticeable.

Silk Floss

2010-02-23T11:40:00.003-06:00

I got one skein of silk floss for Sabrina. It is so soft and pretty. With it is my bead box all decorated.

New Bling for the Queen

2010-02-20T13:13:00.003-06:00

I got my new and first laptop yesterday. The main reason for getting one is for when I go back to school. I love this new toy. It is a HP Pavilion with a 15.6 inch screen. Not the biggest but not the smallest. I wanted something more portable with going back and forth to school with. I got a Swiss Gear carry case and Swiss Gear cooling fans for my new toy. I LOVE my new computer. I have even shared with the King and Court Jester 2. Court Jester 1 was not at home to play with it, but she will get her turn.

Rockin' Women

2010-02-16T00:05:00.003-06:00

When I think of women who knit, crochet, cross stitch, or any other cool hobby or art form, I think of images like these cool ladies.

I have been told I have an "old" soul. I have been told I am old. All I can say is "kiss it".
I love this!!

Spring Queen

2010-02-15T14:26:00.002-06:00

My tiny progress on Spring Queen. She is starting to have an arm. Then I can start on the top sleeve of her dress. I love the colors and she looks soooo much better in person than the pics can ever show.

This is a case to hold beads. I got this for the up coming new start of Sabrina. This will hold the Mill Hill beads and Mill Hill Treasures. I have a longer one to hold beads for Spring Queen and Autumn Queen. I love these things to hold beads!!

Valentine Day Gift

2010-02-15T13:59:00.002-06:00

For Valentine's Day I got a new purse. It is red. It is Sparkly. It is ME! :D

My Needle Minder

2010-02-09T14:01:00.004-06:00

Robocop got me a needle minder. It is a crown....perfect for me since I am Queen Bee.
;) The top pic is dark I know, but it shows more detail of the crown. The bottom pic too bright but shows the true color of the background of the crown. I LOVE this needle accessory!

Needle Minders have a magnet on the back. It is held in place on your stitching by the magnets. When you want to change floss or if you need to get up, you just place needle on top and the magnet keeps the needle from getting lost.

The Kelmscott Designs makes many different designs for their Needle Minders.

Fun Monday

2010-02-07T19:04:00.004-06:00

The wonderful Church Lady is hosting this weeks Fun Monday.

Her assignment:

How do you beat the doldrums when you are stuck in the house either because it is too cold or too hot outside? Do you read? Cook? Complete a home improvement project? Watch movies? Scrapbook? Please share your ideas.

What I do is Cross Stitch. Do scrapbooking a little bit, but cross stitching is my favorite!! I love to cross stitch. Did I mention to you cross stitch?? My family knows that it just my "thing".
From previous post there are pics of what I am working on or have completed.

This is what I am working on. It will be a heart ornament for Valentine's Day.

This is Spring Queen by Mirabilia. I started stitching on her arm today!

This is a bowl my son made for me at school. He made it to hold my stitching stuff. How cool is that?? :D It holds my cool reading glasses that are in the case. My favorite Gingher Stork scissors. My pink pencil and pen.

You may notice my pink Nintendo DS game bag. I got this for my birthday from Robocop. I have wanted a Nintendo DSi forever. He got me the hot pink one, so of course the matching bag and matching game cases. :D This is how I been getting through the "doldrums".

New Drool and New Want for a New Start

2010-02-03T07:55:00.002-06:00

I love Mirabilia Designs. I always have and I have a few of her charts. Her newest design is a lovely one called Sabrina. She is just beautiful. Some have said she is too thin or her neck is so long. I like her anyway. This is what Nora Corbett the designer and Mirabilia herself said about her newest release.

My newest cross stitch goddess is inspired by old black and white movie glamour and celebrates the perfection of onscreen couture. Velvety charcoal embroidery drapes a sea of satin, sprinkled with crystal stars in this elegant and luscious design.

Like with most of her designs Mill Hill Beads, Mill Hill Treasures, Kreinik Metallic threads, and Caron Waterlilies.

I can't wait to get her and all the goodies and have a new Mirabilia start.

Grrrrrr

2010-02-03T07:53:00.002-06:00

I think I only have one or two people left to comment on for their first monday. Me and blogger are not getting along. I have tried to get to blogs and make comments but something always goes wrong. LOL Taken me days to get done what should only take a minute.

Then again it might be just me. LOL

My Daughter

2010-02-02T12:32:00.005-06:00

She went to her first formal dance. I can't believe my little girl is growing up. :(

She would not smile big. I say smile and this is what I get. LOL
And again......LOL Kids?!?!

Completions

2010-01-28T11:37:00.005-06:00

Some things I did complete this past year.

A small altoid tin cover. It holds my paper clips.

This is a tin topper I made for a tin that holds my pens and pencils with my stitching stash.

My Gingher scissor tin cover. It has my favorite Gingher scissors that are stars and stripes.

This was a gift for my sister. She loves pigs. This was a San Man design. I think it is just tooooooo cute.

This I made as a Christmas gift for my brother and his wife. I stayed up late the night before finishing this one up. It turned out pretty I think. I hope they really did like it. So many hours put into this sucker. lol

Halloween finishes

2010-01-28T11:33:00.003-06:00

Want to see my Boo Bees?

2010-01-28T11:29:00.003-06:00

This is a San Man design. I stitched this up for Court Jester 1(daughter) and the Queen Mother(my mom).

Southern Magnolias

2010-01-28T10:58:00.009-06:00

Southern Magnolias by Leisure Arts. It is the Magnolia Centerpiece. Stitched on 32 count Lugana. The color is called "Creekstone" and it is from Silkweaver. I love their fabric!

I know it is a shocker that it is NOT a Mirabilia Design. But hey, I like many things.

I had stopped stitching on this to work on some Halloween ornies and Christmas stuff. Holiday stitching was calling to be more important. Now I can get back to stitching for me for a bit. SM is calling loud to me. lol

Under The Friendship Tree

2010-01-28T10:47:00.004-06:00

Yes ANOTHER Mira Design. lol
I have done very little on this one. Been busy with Spring Queen.

Under The Friendship Tree is stitched Silkweaver's "Spring Garden" 32 count Jobelan. I love this evenweave. So very soft and the colors are soft and yet add to the design without over power it.

First progress pic

Second progress pic....yes laugh. I know it is not much. lol

Spring Queen

2010-01-28T10:35:00.006-06:00

Another Mirabilia Design I started. I love the Queen series. :D So here is some progress on Spring Queen.

This is the first picture of progress.

Second pic taken of progress.

Third pic taking of small amount of progress.

The fourth picture taken of progress. I am LOVING how she is turning out. Stitching SQ on 32 count Jobelan. I ordered the evenweave from Silkweaver and the color is called "Carol's Meadow".

Autumn Queen

2010-01-28T10:08:00.008-06:00

Autumn Queen is stitched on 28 count Jobelan and the color is called English Rose. It is so much prettier in person. The photo just does not capture the true color.

First Pic

Second Pic

I have worked a little on Autumn Queen by Mirabilia Designs. I have not stitch much more on her because I have stitched on other things. I do LOVE Mirabilia!!!

Lara's Loose Threads

2010-01-28T09:42:00.001-06:00
