Another must have...


While I don't seem to be stitching lately, I am looking at patterns and buying. I hope to have time to stitch this weekend. I only have three days next week and then six weeks until summer break! I am going to stitch every day of the summer. My evenings will be full of it. I can hardly wait. I need to post pictures of my progress on the Wedding Row. Note to self: bring home digital camera from school.

Bad me...

This morning I ordered the two cross stitch projects to add to my stash. Though I really plan on stitching them soon. I also went and purchased another (bigger) piece of linen. I don't think my Sampler Gameboard is going to fit on the piece I started it on. I left the house at 8:30 AM and went to my WW weigh-in. I am down a pound. Then I went to Hobby Lobby and HyVee (grocery store) and back home by 9:35 AM. I just bought a few things to make it through till next weekend when I may have more energy.

I made my appointment to get my thyroid checked. I really hope this is why I am so tired. I could lay on the couch all day and still sleep at night. Not normal.

It is a rainy, blah day. I am going to work on my newsletter, grading and lesson plans. I am supposed to go shopping with my mom tomorrow for my daughter's upcoming 11th birthday. I have no idea what I am going to get her...

Busy...


I have been really busy with school and just soooooo tired when I come home. I am really looking forward to Easter break. I think I am going to order this:

MUST HAVE!!!



I love noah's ark and must add this to my collection/stash. I have been so good and only made a list of what I want. Perhaps I will treat myself for completing another quarter successfully. Certainly if the kids get money for good grades, the teacher should get stash for grading 100,000 papers a quarter.

Yesterday and today are snow days! I wouldn't be going to school no matter if it hadn't been. I was ordered to stay home and rest since I have walking pneumonia. I spent yesterday resting on the couch and truly did not do too much. I did manage to put in two hours of stitching on Wedding Row by Bent Creek. I went looking for my camera, but I think it is sitting on the desk in my classroom.
There is about 15 inches of snow on the ground and drifting snow - three and four foot drifts! My backyard has a six foot drift - the height of the fence back there.
