Family stuff

My little grand niece Jaycee turned 2 day before yesterday. We went out to dinner at her favorite place, Johnny Carrino's because she loves the bowtie pasta. She is in the picture here with her dad and is all dressed up because she had just gone to get her picture done. She loves Tinkerbelle so I got her a tshirt with Tink on it and a matching pair of jeans. Been a long time since I bought clothes for someone that little but the shirt fit, the jeans may be a bit to big but soon they will fit too. All and all a great family night. Now if I had a grandbaby or 2 of my own I'd be a happy happy lady.

Lovely Time

We had a lovely time on our mini vacation :) We went up to the north Georgia mountains to a little town called Blue Ridge, the blue ridge mountains sort of start there. We rented a cabin up there for a few days to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our sons came up for a visit and one of them brought his girlfriend. The cabin was on a bit of a windy, heck not a bit a really windy gravel road, so we pretty much just stayed up on our mountain. We got there on Wednesday afternoon and got some milk, mayo and chips to eat until we could hit the store the next day, we had decided given the condition of the road night time driving was out. After picking up stuff we didn't bring with us we spent the rest of the weekend on our mountain. This place had a hot tub, a jacuzzi, a fun game room and several screened in porches to enjoy.

It rained on Friday so we spent some time in the tub, and watched movies that we had brought and I got alot of stitching done. No computers, the cell phones worked off and on so it was really a peaceful time. I would highly recommend that is you need to take a weekend off to relax this is the place to go.

Sold one

Here is the picture of the apron I sold today. I am going to have to make a few more of these in a few different styles.

Madly working

I have been madly working on a few new aprons, have several finished and up on the Etsy page. But I am so excited I finally sold one. I'm just a thrilled as I can be. Thank you Lousiana for being the first to get one of my creations.

Headed up to the North Georgia mountains tomorrow, it is hubbies birhday this week and we are going up to celebrate. Chris is coming down from Conniticut and Matt will be up after work for a few days. Danny misses out this time around, he has work this weekend and will be out of state. You all have a nice time and cya when I get back.

I've been a bad bad blogger. I haven't posted in a while, been caught up in work and home projects. Today however I managed to sit down and finish up two aprons and make another. I also stopped at Wal-Mart to buy a new ironing board cover, I cut mine, and picked up some cute place mats that I think will turn into some cute purses. Going to play with that later today and Friday, I have to work tomorrow, it's truck day. Will be taking pictures of my 3 new aprons in the morning and posting them here and on my Etsy page so when you get a chance sometime tomorrow go on over and have a look.

I've been busy

I haven't posted in a while but I've been busy making aprons and working. I took a week off this week to get caught up on stuff and not all done yet but getting there. If you click the links to the right of this post you will be directed to my etsy shop http://withthisneedle.etsy.com and see the 3 new aprons I've made. I have a few more in the works and hope to get them up by next week. I am going to make a run down to Floridia over the weekend to see my dad. The last time I saw him was in January when he had quadrople by-pass and was still in the hospital when we left to come home. Since then he has also had his knee replaced. Like I told my hubby I'd like to see him now at home instead of in a hospital still hooked up to machines.

I hate mosquito's

I really hate those little flying mosquito's! I was trying to do some much needed yard work on Sunday, it was actually cool for a Sunday afternoon in July here in Georgia. I got attacked by several of them. They bit my face, arms, shoulder, ankles, and chest. I was so itchy I had to take a Benadril which made me sleepy :(, so I didn't get my yard done. Tonight we took my sister out to dinner, she is moving to Arizona tomorrow, when we got home we let the dogs outside, I sat there watching them (the little one tries to escape through the gate) and got bit again. On the face, the forehead, ands and arms. I must be a magnet for these things
