One step closer to the Weekend,, Yahoo

Happy Thursday.  I had every intention of getting more goodies finished last night.. Instead I had some girl time with a bestie of mine.  Was such a great visit.. Sometimes you just need to have some time just for yourself... 

I have been trying to hurry and finish the fall/halloween things I have started cuz I think alot are moving on to wanting Christmas things already.. Yikes... I better get my rear in gear...  haha..  I hate to just not finish them and move on to other things or I might not go back.. teehee... and.. I do have a couple craft shows I have signed up for so...

Going to my grandparents for dinner tonight.  We are trying to do that at least once a week now.  I usually go up as much as I can throughout the week for lunch to visit but want to spend as much time with them as we can...  So....  not sure how much I will get accomplished tonight in the stitchin and stuffin department but dinner will sure be good..  teehee

Tomorrow I will be out for my bosses son's funeral so I might not be on here much if any.  Hope you all have a great day and weekend!!  Hugs, Tina

Anniversary, Pumpkin Head, Car prowlers and sad news

First of all...  It's Happy Anniversary to me and my guy!!  I am such a lucky girl..

Well, another Labor Day has come and gone and it's back to work but at least it's a short work week.. Yahoo..  Hope you all had a great one..  Friday night my hubby and I watched the Seahawks, win.. Yes, I said win... Yippee!!  Yahoo!!  Even though just pre-season so nice to be able to say we won... haha..  On Saturday I mostly stitched and finished up a Pumpkin Head Doll for a request.. She sent me a photo and asked me if I could make something like it.. Boy, was the pressure on.. haha..  I sent her a photo and I was soooo relieved when she said she loved him... Here he is:

I have still been trying to finish up the ornies/tucks I have started.. Witches boots, bats, ghosts, more candy corn.. I wonder if it's too late now and people are going to start wanting Xmas goodies instead.. hmmm..

Saturday morning we were woke up by Bella (our newfie) barking at around 5:00 am...  My hubby went to see what she was barking at and noticed a shadow on a white truck across the street and a couple houses down, he didn't think the shadow looked right so he put Bella in her kennel, went to the window looked out again and the shadow was still there but he said it looked like he was smoking, just thought weird..  Came running in, put shorts on, grabbed his gun and went outside..  I of course don't know what the heck is going on and was a little panicky...  I turned our front light out and went outside and my hubby was just leaning on the gate trying to see if he could see any shadows or movement cuz the person by the truck was now gone.. So I took him out a flashlight and he went over there looking under, in, around the cars, yards.. yikes.. I am a little freaked out at this point..  You never know if the other person has a weapon or not..  Then I hear him say, "I Knew It", the window of the truck was broken out and the window to the canopy was slide open.  My hubby went up to the neighbors door but they are hard of hearing and didn't answer.  Then I see a light go on in their basement and go out.  I was worried not knowing if the person had gotten into their house or not.  We called the cops and they said not sure what we can do if they don't answer for you... Really??? OMG!!!  So,,,  a little while later I see the neighbors coming outside.  They have a couple dogs and their rustling and movement must have woke them up.  I guess it is a friends truck that is visiting and his camera got stolen.  The burglar probably would have made a haul if he had time to get to the back canopy cuz it was jam packed with stuff since this guy was traveling..  wow...  This is the 2nd time my hubby has seen a car prowler.. Good thing for our Bella....  What a good girl!!

And... on to the sad news.. I got a phone call this weekend that my bosses youngest of 7 children passed away on Saturday.  He was only 19, getting ready to go to college then on to his mission.  It has been a very quiet somber day here at work..  Two of my bosses other sons and two of his brothers also work with me so it is really hard to think of anything else and get anything done..  My thoughts and prayers go out to their family..  Such a sad tragedy... 

Hope you all are doing well, until next time.. Hugs, Tina

Long weekend almost here,, Happy Labor Day!

I am sooo glad it is Friday.  Seems like it has been a very long week...

I hope you are all planning something fun for this long weekend! 

We might head down to Pig out in the Park.. They have it every year and there are soooo many that attend.. Sometimes it is a bit too crowded for us but since we aren't camping this year, we might go check it out... There are booths set up with goodies to buy, 48 food vendors and different bands playing on 3 different stages..

Other than that, nothing planned which is sort of nice, we can just play it by ear and have a nice relaxing weekend... I hope to get some stitchin done as I wasn't very good this week.. 

Stay safe and have a fun long weekend! Hugs, Tina

Snowmen stockings, Shoo flys...feel like I have been busy.. with what though?

Hello...  I haven't been on here as much lately.. I try to jump on for a few at work,,,shhhh  but that seems like that has been the only chance lately... 

I sure feel like I have been busy busy but I am not sure doing what.. teehee...  I did finish a couple requests for some gals on  My Facebook Page.

Here are 3 snowmen stockings

and some Shoo Flys

Here is a sneak peak at some things I have started...

I did cut some more candy corns out after this photo, just in case since they have sold so well... These are almost all stitched up, then on to the fun part,,, stuffing and a painting... 

Besides headaches and neglecting some of my house duties, I thought I had better take a little break from stitchin and crafting.  That definitely isnt as much fun but had to be done..  I am already spoiled with my hubby cooking so looks like I better step it up and do my part... ooops... hehe...

and the headaches..  man these buggers just won't leave me alone..  Had a sinus scan, came out clean, nothing,,, nada...  Hoping they will do an xray of my neck to rule that out since it is hard to sleep on my right side w/o the feeling of a headache coming on...  I have a referral to a neurologist and they have just prescribed me with some minor pills to take every day in hopes of preventing the headaches.. So....  cross your fingers, something has to work...  Thanks for listening to my woes and sticking with me..  Hugs, Tina

Fun Weekend, Football..

Well let's start off with a Happy Monday to you all.  It was a great weekend that's for sure..  Went out for a few hours and visited with one of my besties and it was way long overdue..  Drinks, apps and chatting, what a great night. Saturday we drove to Moses Lake to meet up with my hubbies mom.  She was going through some things and wanted to give us some of her china and old photos of my hubby.. Can't wait to go through it all.  We had lunch, the boys played pool and us girls visited..   It was a nice time, wish we would have gotten to visit longer.

And.... I think we have created a monster.. teehee...  The last couple years our daughter and her boyfriend go with us to Seattle for a Seahawks game at least once a year or we watch the games at home and have apps to snack on while watching.. Well, since the whole football thing was so up in the air so long and we didn't know what was going on we didn't think we would go see one this year since had planned other things.  Well, our daughter was like, why aren't we going to a game..  Then she was asking how much we usually pay for tickets, I guess she really wants to go to a game.. haha.. So,,,she found a friend of her boyfriends that has season tickets and isn't using them for every game and so it looks like we are going to a Seahawks game after all this year...  haha..

To my friends that sell online, what do you do for collecting taxes?  Does your price already include tax? 

Well, hope you all had a great weekend and that this is just the beginning of a great week! Hugs, Tina 

Coffee....Migraines...more Candy Canes

Well, my day started out a little funny this morning!  I got my cup of coffee and took it in the bathroom and was getting ready and I saw something in my coffee... It was a challenge getting that floaty out but I finally did.  My cat likes to drink water out of the bathroom sink for some reason and not any of the water dishes, so she was in there when I was getting ready and when she was finished she shook a little, I then was going to take a drink of coffee and she must have been rolling in the dirt as I think it ALL ended up in my cup of coffee.. Good thing I put creamer in it to see it all...  After all the effort it took me to get just 1 floaty out and I ended up with a cup of dirt, I thought I had better just start all over with a fresh cup... teehee... Anyways, just gave me a little chuckle this morning and wanted to share with you.

I finally made it to the dr yesterday for my headaches.  I have had 3 really severe episodes where my headaches have last up to 3 days.  They are so painful, hurts even more to lay my head down to try and rest and it's usually just on the right side of my head so.... he thinks I am getting migraines..  I got a couple samples so hopefully next time it happens these will help it to not last as long and then we can have a little more proof that they are migraines.  I do get headaches alot though, more often than I think is normal and I am stuffed up alot so they are going to do a Sinus CT Scan for starters to see if that has anything to do with my headaches.  Boy, I sure hope they figure something out, I have been taking Advil so much and I don't even like to take that...  Well, I guess it's a start..  Will keep you posted as to the results of the scan, I go in next week for that..

On to something more fun.. omgosh...   I almost can't keep up with everyone wanting my candy corn.. haha..  I am so happy though that so many have loved it as much as I do that they want some for their own.. I just finished up 12 more last night, just need to wrap the homespun around them and attach the tags and they are ready to go..  I had barely posted it and I only have 3, maybe 2 left...  I need to get postage for 1 for a customer and if she wants it, that would be 2 left and then I have another gal that really wanted 6 when I only had 4 left from the first batch so she might want those last 2... Wowee...  So.. needless to say you know what I have been doing at home after work.. teehee...

Hope you are all having a great day!!  Happy crafting!  Hugs, Tina
