Monday Came Too Soon . . .


Working on Saturday totally wrecked my weekend. I'm still in bed messing with this friggin' blog when I need to get my ass in the shower. I guess I'll suck it up and drag my lazy tail outta bed. I do have a gift to give to my buddy, John, at work today. I can't wait to see his reaction! Monday's suck!

Racing Nuns



My 19 month old niece, Allie, became enamored with a ceramic nun that I had left at my parents' house years ago. The ceramic nun was actually a Christmas ornament missing the hanger. Allie would take the nun wherever she went. While eating at a fast food restaurant after church one Sunday, my sister dropped the ceramic nun sending it into a thousand pieces. Allie immediately exclaimed, "My nun!" My sister frantically called me and asked me to search for a similar nun on eBay. I couldn't find anything like it. Allie's granna was able to locate these hilarious racing nuns on the internet. Now all is right in Allie's world!

My Bleeding Heart . . .


All that I've done all day is create things. I had to work on Saturday, so I had to make up for lost time. I think this is my favorite creation of the day. It was supposed to be a strawberry, but turned into a human heart.

Framed Embroidery








I am totally addicted to Sublime Stitching embroidery!!! I got the idea from missmuffcake off of www.cutoutandkeep.net to display small embroidery pieces in frames that were cheaply purchased from Target (3 4x4 frames for $2.50!). These are my first framed embroidery pieces.
