Update

They let hubby come home Sunday. He talked to the counselor on Sunday and he said he could come home if he wanted. So he did. He told the counselor if he wanted more help he would go to AA meetings. We will see. He is determined. I only have 9 more days till I am done with work then I can be with him and we can do more things together.

July

Don't know what to put. This has been a very emotional couple of days. A little background my husband has a drinking problem and we have been trying to get him to do something about it for several years. Friday morning he called me at work and said he wanted to do something about it now. After several hours and a thourough check of his heart, lungs etc. at the hospital, he also has congestive heart failure, emphasymia and COPD, they cleared him medically and he was admitted to a Social detox facility. Hopefully they will be able to do the entire inpatient portion of the treatment. When this is over he will not be home alone all day like he has been as I only have less than 2 weeks to work then I will be retired also. We can spend more time together and do things together. I love him very much and I am very glad he is doing this. Our kids are very supportive and will help us thru this time as much as they can.

Crochet stitch along

A while back I saw blocks on someones blog for a crochet stitch along using a Leisure Arts pattern "63 Easy-to-crochet Pattern Stitches" the number was 5555. Well I found the pattern and the follow up pattern in my Annies Attic catalog and now I can't find anything about the stitch-along. Their was either a website or a yahoo group but I can't remember what. Maybe someone can help me.
Besides ordering those 2 patterns I also ordered a plastic canvas booklet called "Red Hat Attitude" Cute patterns I will have to make several.
Better get back to work. Have a great day!

Stitching Blogger's Question of the Day

I tried emailing this and it has not showed up yet so here is what I sent.

Today's "Stitching Blogger's Question" is:Do you "stitch with the seasons?" (This could be reflected by thecolors that you stitch with, the themes that you choose, or even thatduring your favorite season you stitch more (or less) than in others.)

Happy Stitching!Renée

Not on purpose but it just seems to end up that way. Especially with the plastic canvas stuff that I do it seems to be more so especially with magnets, tissue covers and coasters. Of course they work up very fast so you can get by with doing something at the last minute.

Well I have to get back to work so everyone have a great day!!!!

What is your next specialty stitch?
Not sure. But I have a WIP that is stamped embroidery that I got at a garage sale that uses Satin stitch, Outline Stitch, Filled Outline Stitch and a few french knots. The other WIP's that I am working on now are cross stitch 1 set of stamped pillow cases and 2 small ornament type items.
