Last week's stitching

Hiya guys!

This post was supposed to go up on Sunday, Monday at the latest but it is such a pain in the neck to get the pictures from my phone to the computer.  For some reason my computer does not recognize my phone as a device..??  And Blogger doesn't have an app anymore so I can't blog right from my phone.  Real world problems right there!  ;)  So the only work around I have found so far is to email the pictures to myself.  It is working but I am not happy with it.

On to the stitching!

My Beatrix Potter Bunnies are coming along.  Almost finished of page 12!

I am slowly but surely making it to the top of that row on Hannah Lynn.  It is her turn again tomorrow and I hope to get to the top or very close to it.

I started on Kenny Kangaroo.

And last but not least I am on the home stretch on Little Wings!  I am really looking forward to having it finished.

I cooked my first chicken last night.  A whole chicken with stuffing and gravy and all that.  It turned out wonderful!  Roasting a whole chicken was terrifying to me, I don't know what about it scared me but it was way easier than I thought it would be.  

Our chickens also laid their first egg yesterday which was surprising as we have been told not to expect any for another couple months. Brayden was very excited to go collect it and he has been out to the coop 3 or 4 times today to see if there was any more.

Thomas is potty training.  I know, I know at 3 1/2 he should be long potty trained but I am so glad I waited this long.  We started Monday and today he hasn't had one accident so I would call that a potty training success.  I started training Brayden when he turned 2 and he was well over 3 before we were completely finished.  

My last bit of excitement is we started stitching guild again for the year.  Last night was our first meeting and it was so great to get back out and see everyone again.  Always lots of laughs when we get together.

I hope you all are well and getting lots of stitching in!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

TUSAL time!

Hey there!

It is TUSAL time again and here are my orts.

(Please disregard the wrestling children in the back round, I promise no got hurt.  It was friendly wrestling)

The orts this month were from:

Little Wings- I almost have the little girl finished!

 Hannah Lynn - Slow going but I only work on her once a week so I am happy with the progress.

Beatrix Potter Bunnies - Not much progress, I have been unmotivated to work on it.

A finish!  Merry Motifs by Homespun Elegance - It is presently sitting at my mom's waiting for her to sew it into a little pillow.

And another finish! Pearly Pig - She is waiting patiently for me to finish all her friends so they can party together at Christmas. It definitely won't be this Christmas but I am staying on track for next Christmas.

Last but not least a little haul picture.  I put in a little order with Crazy Annie's Stitchin.  They have an awesome clearance section, which is where I found all of these goodies.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stitching!

Nearing some milestones

Hiya!

It is a beautiful day here on PEI! The sun is shining and I have nothing to do today except relax.  It is wonderful!  We had Brayden's birthday party on Friday evening and I am still recuperating from that!

This past week in my stitching world I worked on Little Wings. I am this close to finishing the little girls dress!  Hopefully tomorrow it will be finished.

I also put a few more stitches on Hannah Lynn.  I am stitching her every Wednesday for the All That Glitters SAL on the Stitch Maynia facebook group.  So far I haven't stitched any "glitter" but I still have 2 more Wednesdays so I think I will get to some before the month is over.

And lastly I stitched on my Beatrix Potter Bunnies. I am getting very close to the halfway mark on this project.  Just this little bit left on this page.

I hope you all had a great week and thanks for stopping by to visit with me!

Happy Stitching!

Any Instagrammers out there?

Hi guys!

I have recently joined a lot of you in the future and got a cell phone.  The last time I had a cell was when Brayden was first born - 7 years ago.  A lot has changed since then!  There is a big difference between a Motorola Razr and an Iphone!

Anywho I joined Instagram.  If any of you are on instagram let me know what your instagram name is so I can follow you and mine is khristinedoiron1985 if you want to follow me.

Happy Stitching!

My baby is 7!!

Here is my boy last night at the exhibition, way up high on the Ferris Wheel, holding on for dear life.  I don't know how 7 snuck up on me so quick but it is here already.

Happy Birthday to my sweet boy who cried himself to sleep last night because it was his last night being 6.  My sweet boy who would rather be checking his chickens or watering his garden than playing video games.  If only you would stay this little forever!

And little cross stitch for those of you who come here for that :)  I stitched a little more on Hannah Lynn, little being the key word.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
