SBQ Picture Day

I am going to answer an old SBQ this time. From June 7, 2006. It was asking for pictures of the back of your stitching. So here is the back of the wizard I just finished. Not too bad considering there were quite a few color changes. It also asked for a picture of your favorite stitching place. Well I don't have a picture but I can tell you. Depends on what I am stitching a lot of times it is setting on the futon while watching TV. Or if I need more light I will do it at the kitchen table as there is a light directely over the table.

This is all for now. Maybe will try to do some more SBQ's later. Posted by Picasa

Happy Dance!

My biggest cross stitch yet. This is 5x7 picture of a wizard. Dimensions Kit #79019 Wizard. I am going to frame it in an 8x10 frame with a burgendy mat. I was wondering since the material is not large enough to wrap to the back the way the instructions say if it would be okay to glue it just around the outer edge? This would be under the mat and would not show in any way. And would be done using a washable fabric glue. Posted by Picasa

How is your inner child?

I like to take these quizes. They are fun to see how far off they are or if they are about right. This one is close.

Your Inner Child Is Sad
You're a very sensitive soul.You haven't grown that thick skin that most adults have.Easily hurt, you tend to retreat to your comfort zone.You don't let many people in - unless you've trusted them for a long time.

I'm a Mercedes SLK

I got this in an email and thought it would be fun to take.

You appreciate the finer things in life. You have a split personality - wild or conservative, depending on your mood. Wherever you go, you like to travel first class. Luxury, style, and fun - who could ask for more?

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

How open minded are you?




You Are 60% Open Minded



You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded.

Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints.

But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line.

You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.

Merry Christmas

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. We did. Had the kids over for Christmas dinner and presents. Daughter brought 2 extras. A teenage boy who has a bad home life and had nowhere to go for the holiday. And a friend who she has been helping with some medical issues. He also had nowhere to go for today. So at the last moment she brought him along. After everyone left hubby wanted to watch "Christmas Vacation" so we watched it. Then he was watching "Home Alone" on cable when I came in here to download pictures and read mail. Now I got to go. Have to give the ferrets their Christmas treats and let them play awhile.

I will close with this little quiz that I found on another blog and I though was cute.




Your Elf Name Is...



Grumpy Fruit Cake




Merry Christmas everyone.

Our granddaughter

This is a picture of our 12 year old granddaughter. Her mother sent this to us today. She took it this morning. She did not smile for her school pictures so she sent this. She is a lovely girl. And growing up so fast.  Posted by Picasa
