Pictures

I couldn't get all the pictures I wanted onto my blog, so I posted them to my flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stitchedbyt/. Check it out if you want.

recent project of mine

This is one of the recent projects I have made. It is a diaper bag and matches the baby bunting I made too. I also have a matching sweater and hat that I crocheted. I will post those in a bit.

Keep a look out.

Finally, I was able to sinc up my digital camera and download all of the pictures from Christmas time.

Keep a look out for my new pictures of all the projects I have been working on these past couple of weeks. I went to take pictures just now, and realized that I have to charge up the camera's batteries. So I have to wait a little while longer.

Until then my friends!

Happy Super bowl day!

A little Jane Austen in 2008

Last night, Daddy and Critterman settled down in bed to watch tv. I had been sewing all afternoon and wanted to finish the little bag I was making. All of a sudden the power went out. I'm talking pitch black. I had to use the light on the remote control to sorta see to the kitchen to find a candle and the lighter. Finally able to see, I stumbled into the bedroom to check on my guys. I think Ethan was a little distirbed by the complete blackout.

After about an hour or so, Brian and Ethan needed to go to sleep. After they were settled I lit 10 candles or so and started to continue reading "Persuasion" by Jane Austen. Reading by candlelight was pretty cool, I felt like I stepped back in time. Two minutes into my reading, the lights came back on. I was kinda disappointed, but it was fun too.

The Big 4

Today is the 4th anniversary of the best day of my life. My little Ethan was born. Thanks to God for giving me such a good boy. He has his Daddy's eyes and the best little heart in the world.

Aside from Christ, he is the greatest gift I have ever received!

Happy Birthday Stinkerdoodle boy!

Love,

MOMMY

Sew much fun

Today, I wasn't feeling well. So I stayed in my jammies and skipped the workout and the weigh-in and stayed home. I watched tv and sewed. I made another cute little baby bunting and matching pillow, and a crayon carry bag for Critterman's birthday on Monday. Now I am going to curl up under a blanket and watch a movie. Early bed night too.

Littlest sis--is that a good enough post?

Good food for cold weather.

Today, I made mini meatloaves, baked potatoes and cream corn for lunch. It warmed me right up--it's one of my favorites. Getting a little stir crazy here due to the cold weather.

What is your favorite "warm me up" meal?

Royal Edict

The Blogging Queen, whose name shall be known only to me has give a royal edict that I am supposed to blog.

What to blog about? hmmm...well, I have discovered a new movie passion...JANE EYRE. Mr. Rochester is...(at the risk of sounding really cheesy!) DREAMY. If swooning were still in, I'd be the the number one swooner. My only disappointment was waiting so long to read the book/watch the movie.

My other blogging event is that the Jane Austen "movie of the week" has started on Masterpiece Theater. I highly recommend all the movies.

What is your favorite Jane Austen flick/book?

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my friends on blogworld. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your families.

Latest Projects

Here are some pictures of my latest projects...

Exit Stage Left

I just remembered something.

At Oklahoma...right before intermission Ethan had to do his duty. Needless to say our seats were right smack dab in the mdidle of the row. So we had to climb over fourteen people to our left to make our way to the BR. On our way back to the theater, Ethan pointed up and said, "Mom, that sign says EXIT". It did! It really did. I was floored. Way to go buddy.

(Get it Exit Stage Left)...tee hee

O-A-K-L-A-H-O-M-A

Tonight, Ethan and I along with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Dan went to my high school's performance of OAKLAHOMA. It was really well done. It was actually a comination of high school and community, so I knew of few of the actors. Ethan, I think, really enjoyed himself. It was his first live performance. I went to East Central High School in Sandstone, MN. They just built a new K-12 school and it was Dan's and my first time in the new building. Can I just was WOW! They even have a pool!

That's all.

Another one

So Sunday I returned home from a blissful weekend of sewing, food and laughing. The quilt retreat. What a blast. to view some of the projects the girls made click here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lisannie/

Needless to say, when I returned home, I returned to the land of neverending fevers. Yes, people we are on day 5 of E having a fever. Can I go back to WLBC? Please? Another four days of sewing! I don't think I can wait until March 08.

Ah, the trenches of mommyville! Gotta love it!

Favorites

Well, next week the holiday madness begins. I love the holidays...Thanksgiving leading up to Christmas and the celebration of Jesus' birth. Love it all!

First up Thanksgiving.

We actually don't have plans this year for Thanksgiving, at least nothing set in stone. But I am dreaming of a lots of turkey, sweet potatoes, corn--and of course--chocolate mud pie (a tradition in our family).

What are your three favorite thanksgiving dinner must haves? Also, do you have any fun family traditions?
