Happy...

Happy New Years everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful time with friends, family and your significant loved ones. The hubby and I ended up just staying in for the night, stay warm and just relaxed. We did go to the grocery store to pick up a few things to pig out on tonight, but other than that we just chilled relaxed, and then a hour before midnight I watched a country concert on TV and then watched the ball drop and kissed my husband for the first time this year.

Now I'm just relaxing some more, playing game on my phone called pocket frogs it's a pretty cool game. Fun, and since I love frogs it's a perfect game for me. If you have a phone you can play games on, definitely go and check this game out!

Like I said earlier, I hope everyone had a wonderful night. Stay safe, have fun and stay warm!

Night everyone! :)

Happy New Years!

Christmas Stockings, and baby blanket

I certainly hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. I know I had a great time being around family and friends.

I few weeks ago or so, I ended up getting some Christmas fabric for a friend as a surprise and boy was I definitely surprised. I ended up getting a box full of random Christmas fabric. I was definitely excited. I ended up making 2 Christmas stockings with some of the fabric. One my husband ended up picking some odd fabric to go with some of the fabric my friend gave me. He told me he wanted the stocking to be more "manly" than "girly" ha. Whatever floats his boat is what I told him. But I went with some cute snowmen fabric and some other stuff as well. Then once I made the stockings, I ended up embroidering my name and his name on our stockings. I was very proud of the stockings I had made, first stockings I had made at all. :)

Here's how the stockings turned out:

Now, I know you guys probably have been wondering about the baby blanket. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to take a picture of the "embroidered" name on it that I did by hand and all that. I'm kind of bummed about it, but with not having a working laptop I never really thought to take pictures. I'm sure I'll get another chance to take a picture though when I see them again. I know my friend loved it, the colors and the pinwheels I did for the pattern. Here's a picture before I added the embroidered name on it.

I will have to be honest. I haven't sewn anything since the Christmas stockings. I do have a small list of things I want to get sewn, but I just haven't been very motivated. Maybe it's because I haven't been able to really view everyone's blogs or because of the holidays being back to back as far as Christmas and then New Years goes. I'm sure I will get back into it. I know I want to make myself a quilt, but I have to do one other quilt before I do and that's a toddlers blanket.

I am just glad I am able to get back online, and be able to see everything once again.

Well, again I'm so glad and happy to see everyone again! :)

New Years is coming up, what's everyone's plans?

Merry Christmas! Oh my gosh...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to come on quickly and say

Merry Christmas Everyone!


Guess what I got for Christmas? Everyone in Steven's side of the family ended up going in on a laptop for me since I was having so many issues with the old one of mine.

I should be able to surf everyone's blogs again and do some posting here and after the holiday's, hopefully be able to post the completed look of the baby blanket I had worked on and have already given to the receiver. Let's just say she loved it... :)

It's been a long day, so I'm going to get off here and just relax a bit.

I just wanted to jump on here and say hi and that I'm still here! :)

still here, lol

Just making a quick post on my phone. Still alive and well, still just having issues with my laptop. So until I get hat fixed, I am going to be lacking posts which definatley bites! I miss checking out everyone's blogs and I am sure I missed out on a lot. Hopefully didn't miss out on too much. LOL

Hopefully I will be back sooner than later!
