Camping is the life for me!

Hey guys!

Get a drink and sit back...this could take awhile.

I am camping!

Right now as we speak I am sitting at my table, waiting for my coffee to get here, while Brayden gets ready for his first day of swimming lessons.  So I thought I should catch up with all of you while I pass the time.  And it sure is a time passer!  Campground wi-fi leaves a lot to be desired!

Onto the first picture which only took 10 minutes to upload. Ha!  Good thing I have all week.

Halloween Rules - I finally finished the first block!  I just love how cute it is.

Remy Rabbit - Finished the red on the stocking.  Not much left to go now.

Hannah Lynn - started up the next row.

Steotchalong - Finished the main part.  Now I have to choose from 16 different possibilities for the bottom.  I am pretty sure it is either going to say "The King of the North" or "Dumbledore's Army"

Joyful World SAL - Finished all the green stitching.

Cars - added 3 more movies worth of stitching to this.  It was only supposed to be 2 movies worth but I guess I can't tell the difference between a movie from 1994 and one from 2016.  Ha!  The movies for the Stitcher's Film Club this month were Labyrinth and The Jungle Book (2016).  I started with Labyrinth which I had never seen and I am a little angry that my parents didn't show it to me as a kid.  We had seen everything else Jim Henson had a hand in so I am not sure why this one slipped through the cracks.  

My most favorite Jim Henson movie is A Muppet Family Christmas where all the muppets go to Fozzie's mother's house and Miss Piggy gets stuck in the snowstorm and Kermit finds the Fraggles.  The best!  I found it on youtube if you are in a Christmas movie mood - 

My second and third movies for the month were both The Jungle Book.  My boys were hogging the tv so I figured I would just watch it online.  Quick search and there we go.  I had watched half of it when my sister came for a visit and I knew she had watched it so I asked her what she thought about it.  She was raving about the young boy in it and the special effects.  I was shocked she was so impressed with the special effects as I hadn't noticed any and then I asked her when the animals start talking and she quickly figured out we had not watched the same movie.  I was watching the 1994 version, none the wiser.  And really it has held up pretty well over the last 20 years.  So once I finished the first one I told the boys we were all going to watch a movie and got the proper one playing and I loved it!  Christopher Walkin as King Louie was so good!  And Bill Murray was the perfect Baloo.  

And now a few pictures of my babies.

This is the only picture I have of Thomas recently and while his mouth is blue and his pose is a little awkward it is all I got.  Him and Monty are slowly coming to some sort of understanding. I really hadn't thought through a 4 year old and a maniac puppy.

This is from Brayden's last day of soccer for the year.

This one is his 8th birthday picture!  That's right I am now mom to an 8 year old!  We spent his day yesterday hanging around the campground and last night he chose a round of mini golf and cheeseburgers for supper.  Perfect way to spend the day turning 8!

Well I hope this takes you all less time to read than it did for me to write it.  Ha!

Happy Stitching!  

Beatrix Potter Bunnies update, live from Cavendish, Prince Edward Island

Hi all!! We are camping this weekend and while I am loving the wi-fi at the campsite it makes it not really feel like camping when I can bring the laptop along.  

Here is before on Beatix Potter Bunnies by LCStitchery. 

And the after.  I am close to the halfway mark on this page and I am enjoying stitching it but I can't wait to finish it.  It was supposed to go in my littlest's nursery but since he is about 2 1/2 his nursery days are pretty well over. 

This is my view while washing dishes in the camper.

 Dad's bbqing hamburgers for lunch and Brayden wanted to model his new bike.

 And Thomas was inside with me getting ready for some lunch.  We are having a great time and I don't want tomorrow morning to come because I don't want to pack up :(

Thanks for stopping by!!

New start

Hello!  I am back after a weekend camping at Twin Shores.  If you are ever planning on doing some camping on Prince Edward Island, it is the place to go, we had a blast.  It is so nice to live in such a beautiful place that you don't even have to leave it to go on vacation.  :)

Since we were camping I figured it was as good a time as any for a new start so I started Promise Me by Lizzie*Kate.  My plan right now is to stitch this 3 times.  Twice for my own boys and once for a new nephew/niece that is due around January or February.  We will see how that goes :)

 Here is my progress.  Not much for a whole weekend but we hardly stopped all weekend.

 Here is the view from our campsite, the beach was just steps away so we spent a lot of time there.  I wish I would have gotten a better picture but it was pretty hazy all day yesterday.

I am happy to be home but can't wait to go back!!  Happy stitching everyone!

Day 25 & 26 Hannah Lynn and a weekend of camping

Day 25

 Day 26 and I am taking a little break from Hannah Lynn while I work on Clue 3 of Halloween Town.

.

These are the only camping pictures I got, the rest are on Jamie's phone.  These were from our second day at the Dundas Plowing Match.  Both boys are having an afternoon nap and I got some stitching done.

We had a great weekend at the plow match.  There was so much to see, horse shows,cow shows, oxen pulls, horse pulls, tractor pulls, plowing demonstrations, a parade, music, cattle penning and lots more.  They even had a couple of rows of potatoes planted that they dug using horses, oxen and I think even an old tractor and they gave the potatoes away to whoever wanted them.  We got a small bag and enjoyed them for supper last night.  We are very excited to go again next year!

 And here is my progress as of today.  After this part is finished only one more clue to go.
