A small new look for my bathroom

I really never thought I would show you all my bathroom but here goes nothing.

I have had this green shelf in my bathroom for the last 3 years or so and it just wasn't working for my anymore... actually I don't know if it ever really worked.  Oh and this picture is of the shelf in my kitchen because I didn't think to take a picture of it while it was in the bathroom.

 It is a cute little shelf and will be going back to live with my mother, where is  once came from.  So instead of the green shelf I am now using a little 3 legged table I picked up from kijiji.  The green shelf used to be where this table is but it is so tall that it was blocking part of the window, so this table is a much better fit.  Down the road I plan to just use blue, brown and cream hand towels, which is my bathroom colors, but until then these will have to do.  I also plan to paint the little table and now that it has found its home I can decide which color to use.  I kinda like it right now but there is a lot of damage to the finish so it needs a little bit of help.

Finally!!

Last weekend my boyfriend and I went on an overnight trip to Moncton, NB, and I went to Because You Count.  That was my first trip ever to a Needlework Shop, and let me tell you, I was overwhelmed!  I could have spent all evening there.  This is what I ended up buying:

2 more Prairie Schooler Santas.  Years 2000 and 2003.  LizzieKate's 6 (fat) Men and some 28 count Sage Jobelan to stitch them all together on.  And 2 pieces of linen for some Halloween ornaments I am planning on stitching.  I started the 6 (Fat) Men but have run out of thread, which I am planning on picking up on Saturday.  

I also finished another page of Peter Rabbit

 And I am now working on Cars.

Happy Stitching Everyone!!

How awesome would that be?!!!  You can go here to see previous Boxers and go here and leave a comment with your saying.  Don't forget to leave your email address in the comment.  I love LizzieKate designs and have stitched one, which you can see here, but I would love to do more, I have my eye on quite a few once I get some of the stuff done I have on the go now.  Good luck everyone but I hope I am one of the winners!

The dog ate my pattern

                                            

The above picture is the cross stitch I talked about awhile ago.  The one where I lost the pattern and the only conclusion I can come to is that the dog ate it.  I don't feel bad blaming her because she has eaten many things over the last 10 years and on this particular day there was other evidence that she was enjoying a meal of things she shouldn't be eating, so I am very sure she did do it.  If I remember correctly, she was into flyers, so my pattern could have gotten eaten along with the flyers.  So if anyone happens to have this pattern and wouldn't mind if I borrowed it to finish this I would love that.  It has various fruit along the bottom, a large pineapple in the middle and I am pretty sure it says "Welcome" along the top.   

 And this is some progress on Peter Rabbit.  It is quite slow going but I am very happy with it so far, but since my babes is almost 1, he will probably be 10 before it is completed.  I don't think a 10 year old is really going to appreciate this.  haha.

So this happend ...

Yup that is my 10 month old boy with a busted lip.  Poor thing, he went to bed normal and when I got him this morning this is what he looked like.  I don't know how he did it or why he didn't cry.  I would have cried!

And you should always include a pic of the big brother.  Here he is concentrating very hard on helping me fold some laundry.

And this is my newest work in progress.  It is for my oldest nephew.  He picked out this chart.  I hope he continues to like pitbulls as he gets older because it will be awhile before he will be getting the finished product!

Happy stitching!
