Remember Indy and Barbie????

Well...not quite this time. I come home to this in the girls room:

"Mama....I'z NOT impressed wiff dis sparkels guy....what's his name....? Eddy?"

"I means look...his shoez all dirty....I'z clean dem....if he's sexy vampires he sure haz dirty shoez"

"Now his girlsfriends on da utter hands....."

"She cracks me up!!!! I'z like her!!!"

"alls in all....nuffin completes the day likes Daddy Cat hugs....*sigh*"

I started working on my Just Nan Counting Bats again because I finished up my Rose Sampler about two weeks ago. Shoot, was it two weeks? It was actually about two days after my last blog! lol...anyway here is day one from when I first started:

and this is currently with days 2-4. Not bad progress and the over one with the words is not too bad to be honest. This is going quicker than I expected too! I don't know, lately I've had a smoking needle. Stress? Stress you say???? Bwahahahaha now now...not ME?...:)

Ok, I have to admit...there is a 'slight' mistake on the band with the spider webs. I was so damn excited to stitch the night before last that I just dove in and with ADHD I whipped out those spiders webs in Noir (310 DMC) and after I got the last one done I took a picture and realized that it was in the WRONG FLIPPING COLOR!!!!! They should have been a steel gray looking color. Showing my very picky husband the goof up his comment was "Well, you usually change colors in something anyway so just leave it and consider this screw up your 'change'". Did ya hear that 'crack' from where your sitting? Why yes....that was me. Giving the smack down. LOL

My decision? To take the husbands ill advise and not go OCD and leave it as it. It actually pops off the fabric better (IMHO). So between me being ADHD and OCD I'm surprised I'm not bi-polar, not being able to make up my mind, and sitting in a corner rocking while sucking my thumb. Nap time anyone?

Here is my Little House Needleworks Rose Sampler finished! Yeah me! Pink roses are my favorite and as much as I am NOT a sampler fan I like this one. Oh any Daffycats Christmas ornie she made me. Otherwise, samplers need 'prior approval' in my house. Sampler interview:

"so....is your alphabet going to be large or small?"

"Large"

"Are you using different colors in the alphabet or one continuous boring color?"

"Uh...one...color...what does that have to do with anything?"

"Does your theme mean anything? I mean...what the heck is the purpose of a sampler anyway? I mean, your not offering me a free taste of anything like they do in Sam's Club...Now THAT'S a sample"

"This interview is over...."

"Good! This is a non sampler house! Be off with you."

Sorry ADHD kicked in again....

Little House Needleworks Rose Sampler (one of two allowed in the house) done on 28 ct Chantilly fabric (which is REALLY hard to find by the way) to be finished onto the Impie, Hattie, & Bea thread pocket....(sometime this year).

Hopefully my posts won't be so far spaced apart. I try to work on that, I really do. Five kids...no life...demanding cat....oh husband to throw in there somewhere....going back to no life...lol! I'll leave ya hanging! Cross on! Lori
