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

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

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

FuN MoNdAy

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

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

It is Friday and I am going to stitch on Sabrina I hope. LOL

My Laugh for the day

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

Interesting Read

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

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

Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.
-- Oscar Wilde

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Sabrina 11 hours of stitching

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

Sabrina

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

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

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

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

Clean and Ready

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.......

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

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

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.
