Simon's Cat 'TV Dinner'

Here are pics...

of my 2 youngest nieces, daughters of my sitiser, Liz!  They were taken a couple of years ago, however, because my surgery and last stroke* put me in my place at home.....grumble......

Tori is looking at the camera in last picture!  She had 2 changes in the play at Christmas-The Nutcraker* in Atlanta!!!!  She IS NOT shy!!  Took it like a fish in water!!  I am always proud of these girls!!
The reason that Arynne's pic is not so good, as this was taken at her school!  Her paper that she wrote was in the news up there on TV!!!  This little Miss is a brain!  LOL!  Straight A's!  She DOES NOT have a Durante nose!  LOL!  The shadows made it look weird....looks like her baby sis's nose!  Today is Monday-April 19th...breezy and warming up in Georgia!  I spent yesterday designing a bunch of 4th of July designs!  So...stay tune to these pages, as there could be a surprise!!!

Thursday-April 15
Hi there Stitchers!  I hope that all of you are in great spirits today!  It is so very nice out here today!  These tempts want last long, so I am enjoying them now!  We do need rain, however.  It has been dry out!  There are so many flowering plants and trees out right now!  I am fixing to do planting tomatoes all around very soon.  In the meantime, I have done up this little design for you!  This is very simple and stitched in just 1 color of floss!!

Did you ever wonder what al those little Motifs mean in historical Samplers?  Several years ago I answered that with these 2 Designs** You You can find out more info on these patterns--Reaching inside a Motif  and 2--at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OakHavenDesigns/

Good Afternoon Stitchers!
I do hope that all of you are in good health and just feel dandy!!!
I went out and bought tomato plants yesterday....I can't maintain a
regular garden like last year, but, at least I will have tomatoes! LOL!

Are any of you playing video games out there? I do them all...LOL!!
Way back in the days of closets!! LOL!
I just bought me a Playstation 3 250GB, which means this little guy
will dub as a blue-ray player!!! I just happen to have blue-rays that
are part of the package for some Disney movies that I just bought!
Yepper, Playstation plays them!! Now...isn't that just cool?!! Tech..
blows me away!!!The 3 games that I have are Final Fantasy X111, God of War 111,
The Elder Scrolls Oblivion game of the year edition*
Ok....That God of War 111 is nothing like I have ever seen before!
The graphics are like playing a movie and it has a "storyline" like a
RPG game! If you have not played it, do so! Not only boys like this
one, I do, too!
I play the Nintendo DS, too!! I am watching the bigger screen one. I am
waiting for the quirks to be worked out before I buy.

This little design was stitched using Sarah's Olde Willow Flosses*

Now here is a design that you can stitch up now!!!
I do hope that you like this little Gift!!!

Please be patient with me as I learn how to maintain a blog!

Good Afternoon Stitchers!
This is Friday, April 9, 2010! We had a nice little rain last night and today is cooler than yesterday! I love it! These tempts are perfect to bask in! I so dread hot weather!!
I am working on the current SAL at my group* Here are some pictures of works done by others at the group!!!
These wonderful works were done by: Kathy B, Mary-Anne, Annie in England, Gena, Mary in NC, and Beth!! Aren't they beautiful??
Although this SAL is over*, there is a new one getting ready to start!!!
The pattern name is "Diva" and can be purchased at the group*
